LOST LAST GAME.
Ottawa's Basketball Season Closed at
Salina Last Saturday.

Ottawa, Kan, March 15.-The bas-
ketball season of Ottawa university
was brought to a close Saturday at
Salina when the Kansas Weleyan five
defeated Porter Craig's quintet by the
score of A to 80. The game Saturday
was spasmodically fast and was hard
fought throughout, but the Ottawa
team was unable to break the losing
streak that had camped on it's trail
throughout the Washburn college and
st. Marys games.
The season just closed was not a
successful one from a standpoint of
victories, although the interest taken
in the game by the student body and
the crowds that attended the home
games demonstrated that basketball is
a coming sport at the university, and
the accommodations offered by the
new gymnasium will undoubtedly be a
strong factor in bringing out the best
material in the school next year.
Five Won; Seven Lost.
Out of a schedule of eleven games
this season, five were won and seven
lost The largest score made in any
one game was in the opening one ded-
icating the gymnasium building when
Kansas City university was defeated
54 to 8. The record for the season
was as follows:
K. c. University, 9; Ottawa "a.
Paramount, 20; Ottawa, 35.
Kansas Wesleyan, 80; Ottawa, rs.
Washburn College, 80; Ottawa, 80.

Baseball Practice.
Now that the basketball season is
over, Coach Craig will begin getting
his baseball team into shape and
training the candidates for next year s
squad. Prospects for a successful
baseball team are very bright, and the
candidates for the team are anxious
to get to work.
The spring football training will
consist mainly of dummy tackling,
passing the ball and possibly a little
signal practice.
Out of last years football team, on
ly three men will not be back next
year. These men are: Peacock, who
played quarter; Brannon, quarter and
end; and Tanner, guard Eleven out
of the sixteen men VINO received foot
ball letters last fall were freshmen
and all of the eleven will return to
school Also, Mr.. Craig says that he
expects a number of new men who
are said to be likely football material
to enter school

they have been doing it ever since
Fielder Jones hitless wonder brought
home the bacon in 1906.
Comis6ey has filled a big hole in
his infieEd by the purchase of Eddie
Collins from the Athletics. That has
been the weakest point in the White
Sox lineup since Frank 1sbell, the
bald eagle" ceased cavorting there.
The Sox last year had magnificent
pitching, while there is no better re-
ceiver in the American League than
Ray Schalk, with Daily looking like a
conner. The trouble was that the team
would blow without provocation
and when it blew, it blew the game.
Collins is counted on to steady the en-
tire team.
Still more important, however, is
Comiskey's shift in managers. Gust
ing Jim Callahan, a veteran, Clarence
Rowland, direct from the bushes will
pilot the Sox. Rowland's cry is for
speed. Callahan never had much
speed himself and could get little of
it out of his combination of vets and
recruits Rowland is cutting out the
vets, DO matter how close they are
to Comisi<ey-witpess the passing of
Billy Sullivan and Ping Bodie. He is
to have his head in the new job and
probably will do more to make or
break the Sox than Eddie Collins.
Rowland has a wealth of material
and a first class pitching staff to start
with in Scott, Cicotte, Benz, Tex Rus
sell and Faber. Ed Walsh may be
back. He thinks he will be in form
when the bell sounds. If he is, it's
20 per cent for Row1and's chances
At all events, the manager should be
able to pick up some good pitchers
out of Wolfgang, Lathrop, Jasper.
Scroggins and Klepfer, most of whom
were with the White SoX last year
To help Schalk and DAILY behind the
bat, Rowland may keep Kuhn and
Mayer, although neither has shown
much class.
AS for the inner and outer gardens.
on paper, the strongest team at the
start is:
Brief, 1b; E. Collins, 2b; Weaver.
SIS; Berger, 3b; John Collins, CT; Roth,
IF; and Felon, If.
1t doesn't mean that they'll play
that way all season, nor even a big
part of the season.
