I The ultra in golf has been attained.
The buggiest bugs are now playing
the game with cards
| A playing deck has been compiled
and put on the market mat is said to
enable players to do anything they can
do on golf course, except lick a
! caddie.
Commenting on this columns asser-
ton that it looked like Nebraska in
tended to ditch Washburn from her
paper admits that it may be impossible
to arrange a game
However, the Lincoln paper states
that Nebraska will probably try
to strain a point to retain relations
cinch Washburn will be given prefer
ence over such schools as North
western.
Nebraska will probably try to strain
point if it is convinced Wash
burn wants a game bad enough. But
it will not. likely put itslef out very
much if Washburn continues to show
an Indifferent attitude.
If Champion Jess Willard meets
Fred Fulton in a title bout. it will be
Kansan eat Kansan all the way
through. And the fight should at
tract more attention in this state than
the Willard-Johnson battle did.
Fulton has been claimed by several
states, with Nebraska apparently hav-
ing the best title to him. But, as a
matter of fact, he is a Kansas product,
having been born in Blue Rapids in
he FIRST
years of his life in the Sunflower state.
Fulton is now being groomed to
meet Willard. and from his past record
it seems that he might give the Pride
OF Emmett a real battle. Out of thirty
fights. he is said to have won twenty
eight by the knockout route.
Some of the big Nine" schools
have announced that even if baseball
is abolished as a conference sport, they
will continue to put out teams And
it is understood conditions this spring
will remain as they have been in the
past.
Illinois is one Of the schools that
will balk on giving up the diamond
sport, and Iowa announces that she
will play her schedule this spring as
arranged.
At the next Western league meeting
which will be held soon after the first
of the year. it is possible that the
will decide to lengthen the
playing schedule 1t is understood
Jack Holland, of st. Joe, has already
announced he is in favor of more
games than were played last season.
wild Bill'' Donovan, Heinie Zirn-
norman and other big leaguers are
planning to give New Workers winter
baseball on ice at the Polo grounds.
The plan is to flood the field and have
the players perform on skates, using
an indoor baseball.
The hackers of the ball club at Deni-
son, Texas, are to build new stands
with seating capacity for 8, 00e, and an
has been made by which
the park will be used as an athletic
field by the Katy Lines Athletic asso-
citation, as we'll as for ball games. If
Denison secures a berth in the Texas
league, as is talked, the park will be |
fully ample for the crowds necessary
to support class B ball.
The same Kansas City paper that
claimed it presented an all-Kansas |
team picked by conference coaches |
and officials to its readers also pre- |
sented an all-Missouri Valley team
that it claimed was picked by the val |
ley coaches and officials. And the |
valley pick seems to be proving as
unsatisfactory as the Kansas eleven
was. This aIl-star football team pick
I'd by coaches and officials presents a
of opinions that is
nothing short of ridiculous" says the
Star.
