CALL To KILLER.
Veiock Ranks Him as Best Big
League Catcher.
Schang and SchaIk the Best in
American League.
BY JACK vEIoCK.

New York, Jan. s1.,-The catcher is
the real work horse of every ball
club.
He is required to be the most wide
awake player on the team in the field
and he must have a quick brain,
coupled with all-around ability to rank
as a real star
1t is nothing for the really good
catcher to work 100 or more games
in season. When he is good, the
management keeps him in there as
long as he manages to escape injuries,
and for the amount of work he does
in season the catcher gets but
small amount of praise
The talents required of a good
catcher include split-Second radio
active brain; a knowledge of the
weaknesses of batters and the abiI-
and world of fielding ability in his
position. y s
kiliifer All Around Star.
Such catcher is Bill Killifer, late
of the Phillies. Killifer is not the
fastest fielding catcher in the big
show, but he is sure and he has
everything else. Aside from Wallie
and as rule he finishes the season in
advance of his rivals in fielding per-
centage. Killifer last season caught
40 games Of baseball, and on his con-
sistent showing deserves top rank.
Wallie Schang, now with the Red
Sox. and Ray. Schalk, of the White
Sox. are the two most wonderful
backstoppers in the American league.
1t is hard to choose between them,
but Schang gets the edge because of
his hitting. Schalk is a weak sticker,
tho he has all the other talents Both
are capable of catching 100 or more
games every year, and winning many
of them. Schang is ranked second
and sScha1k third
Wingo a Work Horse.
Ivy Wingo, of the Reds, a real
work horse, consistent fielding
player and always a dangerous hitter,
with one of the best arms in baseball,
is ranked fourth. Hank SEVERED, of
the Browns. who has blossomed into
a ranking star, is placed fifth and Bill
harden, the steady, matter-of-fact
wind paddist. of the Giants. gets sixth
place. Rariden, on his showing last
year, is better all-areund catcher
than McCarty, tho not so good a
hitter.
Gonzales. of the Cardinals. and
Snyder. of the same club, are given
seventh and eighth places, and Eddie
Ainsmith. Of the Senator's is placed
ninth. Ainsmith. like Schalk, is a
great performer behind the bat, but
weak with the willow. The rankings.
with 1917 figures, follow:

of the best backffeld men the college
ever turned out, being an all-Kansas
man and being picked by many critics
as of all Missouri ability.
Not My did he win wide fame as
srjdiron star, but he won his letter
in hoth basketball and track and was
widely known. not only for his re-
markable ability as an all around attn
lete but for his good sportsmanshlp
and his absolutely clean moral char
acter.
Has Had Big Success.
Following his graduation from
Washburn Bearg was made h1gh
school coach and his work with the
Fl S athletes during the last two
wears is well known to most TopekanS
In the two years his teams have lost
only three games, and last year. de-
spite the fact that majority OF MS
nIayers were green material he
turned out a machine that was the
sensation of the state only one
game was lost, the Manhattan team
winning after the local boys had been
subject to al kinds of travel incon-
Veniences and hardshlps
Rearg also was director of the pub
lie play grounds work in Topeka last
summer and he has built up an en-
viable reputation thru his ability to
court and win success and his re-
markable trait of stimulating enthu-
siasm and getting the best possible
results out of men he has under him.
Following his appointment as high
school coach, the new Washburn men
tor took a summer course at Chicago
university under Alonzo Stage, the
famous Big Ten coach, and this sum-
mer he expects to go east and study
under Percy Houghton of Harvard,
Pop Warner of Pittsburg or Coach
Zuppke of Illinois. Also, he will take
summer school work in physical train
ing and will undertake to put Wash
burn gymnasium on an efficiency
basis.
Finish Year at III. s.
It is understood that Bearg will con-
tinue to coach high school basketball
and track material for the remand er
of the school year and that he will
not take active charge of his new
work until next fall. However he in
tends to look after the making of next

AGGIES DEFEAT K. U.
Manhattan Quintet Gives Jayhawkers
Their First Conference Defeat.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 31.-The first
OF two game basketball series be-
tween Kansas university and Kansas
State Agricultural college teams was
won by the Aggies Wednesday after
noon with an offensive the local play
ers were unable to check. The score
was Sc to %.
The winners led from the start,
making their third Missouri Valley
conference victory and the K U.
teams first defeat of the season. The
same teams play here again this af-
ternoon. =s h5~.ssts
- Poor guarding in the second part
of the game allowed the Aggies to
pile up such a large lead that there
was little chance for the Jayhawkers
to even the score. Altho only four
fouls were called by Referee Quigley,
it was one of the toughest games
played on the Robinson court.
For the Aggie five, G. Kinds, left
forward, led in the scoring with four
teen points, as well as in team work,
altho vantrine did well on the floor,
and J. B. Kinds, played a good game.
For Kansas, only Miller showed any
ability to score, making twelve points
of the twenty-three in twentyfour
minutes of play.

VIII Go East in Summer.
President Womer also explained
that Bearg has agreed to go east to
study under the best athletic men and
that he will probably spend ten weeks
at Harvard next summer. All of the
other speakers discussed athletics in
a general way and gave Bearg a big
boost, predicting that he will revolu-
tionize sport activities at the school

HANDICAP TOO GREAT
Ichabods Show Effect of Lost Practice
in Loss to C. of e.

The handicap of three weeks lost
practice Coach De Beukelaer's Wash
burn basketball team is having to
overcome made itself evident Wednes-
day night when the Ichabods were de-
feated by the College of Emporia. The
game was played in the Washburn
gymnasium and the final score was
81 to "a in favor of the Emporians.
Coach McCrory's quintet showed the
advantage longer training had given
them early in the game and the Wash
burn men were fighting an uphill bat
tie from the start. Captain Dean was
the only Ichabod who was able to To-
cate the basket with anything like
accuracy. He threw five field goals
and counted on six free throws
welsh and Herzer were the big point
makers for the C. of E.. Welsh scor-
ing 8 points and Herzer g.

schedule is booked for February 6

see to it that equipment is ordered in
time for the men to use when they
start training and to do all that he
can to straighten things out and get
ready for the big work ahead of him.
Is Those who know him and his work
best predict that Bearg will do more
towards bringing Washburn out of Ter
athletic kinks than any man size las
had at the head { sport activities in
a long time. Not only does he pos
sess the enthusiasm of youth, but he
has proven ability as a coach and a
leader of men and he has demonstrate
ed that he can take an unorganiZed,
unframed squad and develop it into
a machine such as the school has rot
possessed in the last few years. He
has a frank, straightforward way of
going after what he wants and there
is no doubt but that he will keep ath-
letics on a high plane and be a big
factor in moulding the morals of those
who come under his direction. 1t
also is expected that many of his old
high school athletes will follow MIN to
Washburn and make valuable men for
their home town college.
