Dick Dopp, star guard last year for
the high school. will captain the
alumni Dempsey. the Tabor

several other stars are expected to

though the high will have a hard
time in beating such team.
Practice Regularly.
The high tossers have been prac-
ticlng every night for the past week
and on Saturday afternoon. Long
scrimmages we're held each afte--
noon and the squad is slowly

bout of the wrestling show to be
staged by the 11th infantry, l. N. G.,

1t is the prevailing opinion among
grapplers that Caddock is not as

and that he may be defeated at any

be watched closely by the large
number of wrestlers who will be at
the ringside to challenge him for
the title.

Urbana, ILL.,, Dec. 15.-Illinois
basketball candidates will remain
this week to practice until Dec. 20,
although, the university has been
dismissed on account Of the coal
famine. The Illini squad will gather
soon after Christmas and resume
its drill.
Northwestern college, from Nap

campaign against Purdue Jan. ID.

uuist, Carney, Reitsch, Vail, Collins,
Applegran, Tabor and McFarren.
with the exception Of Nee, Wal

Applegran played back guard on
the championship team of 1915.
John Felmley, forward, was a mem

the Great Lakes quintet. Julie Nee
was a star on the freshman team OF
1916.
Chuck Carney Is press ACCENTED
as one of the greatest basketball
players ever seen on the local floor
and those who saw his football per-

dope. Carney Is strong candida.e

Wilson Is a versatile player. who
may be moved to forward.
Laurie Walquist is another mem-

guard for two years. Paul Taylor
Is lively forward. Captain Kop[
of the football team is after his old
job at back guard.
In addition to these men there
are other candidates who may up
set calculations. The Illini are
feeling pretty good over the out
look, but 1t is realized that there
will be veteran teams on Other
