lawrence few days ago stating that
Bonnie Owens would probably coach
the Jayhawker football team next
season and that DIR. Bert Kennedy
would take charge of the Aggie squad.
However. 1t is q we'll known fact
that a new football coach will be en-
ployed at the Manhattan school and
1t Is rumored that Mr.. Wheaton will
not attempt to pilot the Jayhawkers
another season. Also. those who know
Messrs. Owen and Kennedy think that
both institutions would do well to get
them If such a thing is possible.
The R. r. Y. NJ. c. A. basketball
team wants to schedule a game with
any team that thinks it can give them
a run for the money. To date the r.
r. boys have played eight games and
have won every one of them. Tom
Williams says that serious results will
be developed by their development Of
abnormal chestfness unless they get a
game with some team that can take
some Of the starch out Of their self
esteem. No team is barred, Tommy
says, and challenges will be given con-
sideration no matter from what quar-
ter they may come.
r. "Y." are in danger of becoming the
victims of the expanded Uranium dis

American League base-stealers have
something on their brethren Of the Ma
tiona1 League. Offensive and defensive
records of 1914 prove this. American
Leaguers stole 1,657 bases. against a to-
tai of 1.434 thefts in the National. Ma
tional League catchers are credited
with a total of 1873 assists. while
American League backstops made l.
S07 assists. Most assists made by
catchers come from throwing out
would-be base-stealers. Consequently
American League runners got away
with more stuff on the paths than did
the National Leaguers.
Charley Weeghman, owner OF the
Chicago Federals, says the magnates of
his league have SO far invested s., 0O0, 600

for their body. The investment repre-
sents playing fields and stands. players
contracts and other tangible assets.
Weeghman says the Feds must secure
recognition from organized baseball to
be permanent financial success. but
that when recognition comes the Fed
erals will dictate the terms.
