BRIGHT PROSPECT
FOR BASKETBALL
Veterans at Augustana College
Are Back and New Ma
terial Is at Hand.

Football being tabooed at Augustana
college, Coach Conrad has decided to
utilize the football season in whipping
in shape a championship basketball
five for the local institution. Last
night the basketball squad was call
ed together in the gymnasium for the
first council of war this year. The
meeting developed the fact that Au-
gustana has the brightest outlook for
a winning team in recent years.
Excellent material is plentiful from
which to pick & crack five. OF last
years veterans Captain Andreen, Ed.
gar Anderson, Walfred Swedberg and
Flavius Stea are al back, also a mum.
Der of the substitutes. Augustana s
weak point last season-the center
will probably be filled by likely can,
didate in the person of Art Swedberg
brother of AuguStana's fast forward
last year Young Swedberg, who meas
Ures six feet, four inches, has played
center on the high school team OF
Rhinelander, Wis, for four years, and
also on a state militia team. He will
be Likely to outjump any center in
this vicinity, and is also said to be
a dead shot for the basket.
Another candidate is Oscar Pearson
who played on the Monmouth college
team last year. Pearson, although
he may not be able to displace any
of the veterans, will make a stronl
bid for a place on the team.
Coach Conrad is working up enthus
iasm for basketball in all department:
of the institution. He hopes to have
a league formed, composed of team!
from the college, seminary, business
college and academy, which will pla.
a series of games before the regula
I season opens.

4 HARMLESS WAY To
DARKEN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur
Makes Gray Hair Vanish-A
Remedy fOrAII HairTroubIes.

Who does not know the value of Sage
and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark,
soft and glossy and in good condition ?
AS a matter of fact, Sulphur is a
natural element of hair, and deficiency
of it in the hair is held by many scalp
specialists to be connected with loss of
color and vitality of the hair. I'm
questionably, there is no better remedy
for hair and scalp troubles, especially
premature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, if properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company OF
New York put out an ideal preparation
of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and
Sulphur are combined with other valu-
able remedies for keeping the hair and
scalp IN clean, healthy condition.
If your hair is losing its color OF
constantly coming out, or if you are
troubled with danoruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get Q fifty cent bottle of Wyeth' {

Arno Tremarn. tackle on last years
high school football team, and playing
his old position again this year, was
last night named as captain of the
team TO succeed Frank Hughes, who
failed TO return to school. In accord
ance with the constitution OF the ath-
letic association, the election OF
Hughes successor devolved upon the
athletic board of control Ordinarily
the members OF the team who have
won their "R. L. emblems name the
captain.
Captain Tremann has been promi-
nent in high school athletics since en-
tering school in 1909 He made q
guard position on the football team
while a freshman, and the following
year was moved 70 tackle, where he
was a tower of strength to his team.
In basketball, too. he has proved eff
cient, and is captain of the team that
will represent the school this year
He is popular with the players, and
was the logical man for leader.
READY FOR TOMORROW.
Tomorrow the high school regulars
will meet the Iowa City eleven in a
pitched battle at Island City park. For
the past week Coach Corneal has been
working on trick plays for the team
and bunch of brand new formations
are the result. He has taught the plays
20 almost every man on the squad so
that any man could be pushed into the
game in an emergency The lineup for
tomorrow Is not definitely settled.
Coach Corneal giving out two full
teams OF probable players. This IN
usual number of substitutes is not
made by the poor playing of the reg
ulars. but on account of the good play
ing OF the scrubs.
The men who will probably get into
the contest are: Left end Larkin and
Brough; left tackle. Tremann captain
and Cane: left guard, Chalk and An
drews; center. Philbrook and Clark
right guard, Forgy and II. Klove; right
