QUAKER FIVE LACKS
MATERIAL FOR JOBS
AS VARSITY GUARDS
Six Fast Men Try for For
ward POsitiOns-MOrrisch
and WinslOw Battle for
Center Place.

An abundance of forward material
and scarcity of guards is the con-
dition that has developed in the class
basketball series at Earlham college
which comes to a close this week. 1t
is this question that Coach Whiteside
will have to meet when actual varsity
practice is begun next week.
Cy Lancaster, last years varsity
guard, is the only experienced man
around whom to build a defensive ma
chine. Wallace, who has been show
ing up we'll on the Junior team, is per-
hapS the best man at the guard posi-
ton, but what he lacks in actual eX-
perience he makes up in a fighting
spirit.
Among the Freshmen Wildman and
Meeks has shown up we'll MeekS,
however, is short, and Wildman is not
quite heavy enough for the guard po-
sition. Johnson, a Richmond boy,
has been putting up a fighting game
at guard for the Seniors during the
class series. and will probably be a
strong contended for the position, pro-
vided he is in condition to play.
Morrisch Carries Weight.
Morrison and Fay WinslOw loom up
for the center position. Winslow is ex-
perienced, having played on the Qua
ker team two years ago, but was out
OF $500 last year. His floor work is
especially fast and he knows how to
haidle the ball, Morrisch, however,
has the weight, which is lacking in
practically all the other material, and
while he does not handle himself as
we'll as Winslow his weight is needed
on the team. 1t is possible that he
can be shifted to guard.
Logan, Dunbar, Laning. Briggs, Hos
kins and Templin have shown up we'll
in the forward positions, and it will be
fight to the finish among these men
All except Laning and Briggs are
Freshmen, but all are experienced
men. Logan and Dunbar have shown
up better than any of the others. Lo-
gan is not only fast in his floor work
but is accurate in goal shooting, which
is the chief reason for the Freshmen
victories in the class series. Dunbar
has had experience on the Centerville
high school team. Last year he was
considered one of the fastest high
school players in the state. What
Laning lacks in weight he makes up in
speed and accuracy, so that he is
counted on as strong cOntended for
a varsity position.
Play Winona Aggies.'
The first game is to be played De
cember IS at the Coliseum with the
WinOna AggieS. Because of the album
dance of material which has developed
during the class games, Coach White
side probably will work large num-
Der of new men in the first game
From all indications, Earlham will
have the fastest outfit that has repre-
sented the Quaker college for many
years. Despite the fact that, as was
the case with the football squad. prac-
tlcally all are new men, the coach is
confident that he will be able to whip
them into working order early in the
season. For the purpose of really
testing the fighting qualities of the
men, the class games have been very
loosely refereed. He bellows that by
this mans he is enabled to get good
line on the genuine basketball expe-
rlence every member Of the squad
possesses. In the cOachs estimation
cork" is one of the main qualifications
of a good basketball player, and he
took this means of developing it in
the players during the class series.
