BETHANY AFTER THE TITLE.
The "Terrible Swedes' Hope to Win
State Basketball Championship.

Lindsborg, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE
Bethany college basketball team has
returned from a very successful in
vasion of foreign courts. Four games
We're played and two of these were
won. Bethany defeated Washburn col
lege 3S-13 and the State Normals
1921. The games lost were those
played with Baker university and the
Haskell Indians. The scores for these
games were $500 and 1914 respec-
lively.
Bethany has played six games this
season and has won four. One defeat,
that from Haskell. will not count in
the official conference standing. Both
Haskell and Baker play on the local
court later in the season and Coach
Brown expects to capture these re-
turn engagements by decisive scores.
This year Bethany boasts of its best
basketball team in Tvs history. Stone,
Hven, Anderson and Glad are playing
for their third year. Olson starred
last year and is playing consistently
again this season. Edinburg has added
much strength to the team
There is no secret that Bethany
this year is after the state honors.
The players modestly admit such plans
and Coach Brown says that it can be
done. Manager Lund has arranged a
heavy schedule. The next game will
be with the Salina Wesleyans on the
local floor on January 81.

Champion Jess Willard in
Topeka Sunday and Today
He Says He Will Fight Any
White Man in the World.

Jess Willard, worlds heavyweight
champion, formerly of Emmett, Kan,
was a Topeka visitor Sunday and to-
day, coming here to visit relatives and
old friends.
While here the big champ kept
himself out of the public gaze as much
as possible, and was averse to talking
about his prospects. However, he in
tinated that the $4,000 offer of
1O-round bout with Moran in New
York would likely be accepted and that
the battle probably would be staged in
April.
Willard has changed little since he
was here last summer, being a bit
heavier, due to the fact that he has
been taking a long layoff. From here
he returned to Kansas City and will go
from there to Excelsior Springs where
he and his manager, Tom Jones, will
go over the details of the proposed
New York bout. Then Willard expects
to return to Chicago where he Is max
ing his home.
The pride of Emmett says he is
ready and willing to fight any white
man who can produce a purse suffi-
cient to compensate him for his trou-
BILE. While he would not say what in
dividual he thought would give him
the hardest fight for his crown, he in
timated that in his opinion Moran and
Fulton are the best of the 'hopes."
He says he will never fight a negro

Baseball is again on the road that
leads to prosperity and longevity, but
the bridges along the roadway must
be properly looked after and kept in
repair. And one of the greatest things
the magnates could do for themselves
and for the game just now would be to
give the players a place on the com
mission and to let it be known that
they have no desire to keep them
from asserting and protecting their
rights in every way.
