Conference Confab Here Today.
BY W. L. HUGGINs. JR.


Today will be the fatal day to the
championship hopes of one of the two
schools-either Friends or Washburn.
Washburn has every right to the title.
Yet the Ichabod syml 1thiZers are wor-
ried. Coach Dwight Ream and the
members of his championship team
drew a long breath of relief today,
when they learned that the champion
ship deciding committee is to be COM
posed of three faculty members of
schools, namely: c. r. Phipps, En-
poria Normal, chairman, and F. T.
Owen, College of Emporia. President
Aldrich has not named the third mem
Der, but he will be a faculty member
of some school in the conference. The
meeting is to last until every bit of
the seasons details have been defi-
nitely decided. The championship
committee is not expected to take ac-
ton until tonight.
The meeting will be a warm one, IL
| indications point truly. DR.. Garfield
Weede, chairman of the protest COM
mittee, is up in arms over certain in
| fractions of conference rules, which
| he maintains have been committed
| during the past season. Practically
all the coaches in the conference are
| expected to be present.
| Talent Looks Great at Aggieyflle.
With four of last years regulars
| eligible, and in school, and three or
| four basketeers from the 10 fresh
man team in school and looking good,
| Mike Ahearn of the Aggies, is antici-
| pating a bright season of the indoor
| sport at the Kansas State college.
| Captain Ham Bunger, al1-Missouri
| valley forward last year. will hol6
| down his old position this year. and
George Jennings, last years center.
| and the two Coweu brothers, who
| played sub guard positions on the 10
| quintet, are showing up in good form,
| OF the other old regulars, Bill Knost-
man, sub center and forward, Bill
| Martin, sub guard, williams, sub for
| ward. are out for the team. Foveaux,
Krykenda1l and Bradley, who played
| freshman basket ball last year, are
looking mighty good.' according to
| Ahearn.
| Basket ball is one of the best paying
| sports at the Aggie college, Ahearn
writes, and for the last several years
the school spirit has been great enough
to pack the gym whenever a Missouri
valley game is on the schedule. Sew
eral applications for season tickets
have already been received.
| The Aggie schedule comprises games
| with K. O., Missouri Oklahoma, wash
| ington, Ames and Drake.
