oLCOTT BACK AT X. o.
JayhawIxer Coach Ready to Begin
Work on Next FaIl's Eleven.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 11.-Coach
Herman Olcott has returned from his
honeymoon and announces that he will
begin at once to work on his football
material for next year.
Coach Olcott and Assistant Coach
Jay Bond have mapped out schedule
of work which will start with a bas-
ketban league. in which the players
will use a football instead of a basket
ball. This is expected to enable the
players to handle the forward pass
with more surety next fall Following
the basketball season there will be
wrestling and track work.
From this the next step will be a
strenuous spring football practice,
with regular scrimmages. Coach OIL
colt expects to teach candidates who
will be available at the start of the
regular season. The players will be
better acquainted with Clcott's style
of game, and little time will be lost in
developing a formidable eleven before
the big game with Illinois, which is
scheduled for October 7.

WAYNE COOK GONE.
The Grim Reaper delivered a sad
blow to Washburn college yesterday
when he felled Wayne Cook, one of
the most promising young men the
Ichabod school has ever turned out
Cookie" as he was Familiarity call
ed by his many friends, was not only
a young man of ability and sterling
qualities, but he was blessed with a
God-given portion of enthusiasm that
made people say: There is the kind
of young man it would pay to hook
up with" When he went into any
thing he put his whole soul into it and
pushed aside impediments with the
same smile he displayed when ignor-
ing the petty difficulties that con-
fronted him.
In 1914, as manager of Washburn's
football team, he made hundreds of
friends among those with whom his
duties brought him in contact. And
his efficiency and enthusiasm and
strict attention to duty easily won him
the distinction of being one of the best
student managers team ever had.
And this fall when he returned to root
for the Old Ichabods and meet old
friends he was the same enthusiastic
their work and predicting bigger
things for the future. That death
loves shining marks best was indeed
brought home to all who knew him
in the passing of Wayne Cook just
when he was entering on the TIRES
hold of a useful life.
Dear Sir: You state that few win
with deuces and trays. You might
have added that four knaves rarely
ever get together but that somebody
gets robbed.
DR.. ''Phog'' Allen, athletic director
of the Warrensburg, Mo-, Normal
school who has been i'll with pneu-
monia, is reported better, and his
many friends hope that he will soon
be back in the harness directing his
basketball quintet.

To win the flag with his Omahogs.

LOST FIRST CAME
IchabOd Quintet Outclassed by
"Terrible Swedes."
Final Score of the Curtain Rails
er Was 36 to Is.

Monday night the Washburn col
lege basketball team opened its season
with the Terrible Swedes'' from Beth
any college, and the Ichabods cele-
brated the opening by taking the small
end of the total score which was So
to 10.
AS had been feared by the Wash
burn supporters all along, the mex
perience of the Ichabods proved a
great handicap and the visitors had
them at their mercy from the start
Also the superior speed and goal toss
ing of the Swedes showed that the
Washburn quintet has to work harder
than last seasons football eleven did
if it is to avoid a more disastrous
showing.
Neither Beals nor Trobert was
available for play and all of the Icha-
cept Nelson and Bailey were non-letter
men. Tonight Washburn will play K
Z. at Lawrence, and the members of
the team hope to redeem themselves
by holding the Jayhawkers to a better
score.
