has not taken a very active part in
the practice sessions as yet on &C
count OF an injured leg suffered
while on a Transforming" trip dur
ing vacation, but II he shows the
form he did through the major por-
ton OF 1915 he will be an exceeding
IL difficult man to displace. Cap
tain Jacobs Is in better form than
ever before and with he, Morrison,
Shumaker and Blake all avowed
candidates for the forward position
1t can already be seen that Coach
Ulrich will have his hands full in
awarding the positions. Daniels, a
forward and captain Of the reserves
last season is another energetic can
didate for forward. At guard,
Singleton who has held place for
three years and who was last year
captain of the team IS, Of course,
the leading candidate. Next to him
1t seems that Ressegger should be
placed.
Reseger won his letter and
was a regular last year and being
the youngest of the older men try
ing for the team, he therefore has
better chances of added develop
meiit this year, and 1t will be diill-
cult to keep him off the five. Beck
has already been spoken Of as a
guard candidate and Heavier.
Springer and Thurman at center
have also been mentioned. The men
named above are only those who
either through past performance,
high school and prepatory school rep
utaton, or showing In the prelim-
mary workouts have been most prom
inently considered for the team. In
the score or more Of additional can
didates 1t is not know but there are
several Greasy" Neales and Bill
Singletons in embryo and further
practice may bring them out as prom
inent candidates for the team.
As was stated in the first para
graph of this article, the first game
will be next Tuesday night with the
Fairmont oYung Mems Christian As
ISOLATION team as the attraction.
Fairmont has, since the inception
Of basketball at Wesleyan, been a
bitter rival Of the orange and black.
In 1913 Wesleyan won the first game
of the series on the associations
floor. Following this, Fairmont came
to Buckhannon and won the only
game ever lost by the local team on
its home floor. The third game was
played on the armory floor at Fair
mont before a record crowd and Wes-
leyan won by small margin. The
following year, the first two games
of the series was also split and the
play-off took place in Buckhannon
with Wesleyan again winning. Both
these series settled the state cham
pionship for all class Of the sport in
the years in which they took place.
Last year Wesleyan won both at
home and at Fairmont, although at
both places the games were exceed
ingly close. This year Annette,
Cobun, schwarm and two or three
others of the "old guard" are again
with Fairmont and Wesleyan looks
for a very warm argument and Coach
Ulrich is preparing accordingly with
long hard drill each day.
Friday night Of next week. jan
uary IA, another Of the biggest
games of the year will take place
here with Muskingum College form
ing the opposition. Last year Mus
kingum beat Wesleyan on the Mus
kingum floor. 1929, the record score
against Wesleyan in basketball. On
