WaShburn'S basketball practice Wf4l
/ start in earnest today. Coach Dwight
J and the thirty odd men who are out
for the squad will dfsport themselves
! this afternoon and evening for the
/ first time this year.
Arthur Brewster, who played a
! heady game at guard last year is in
uniform again. Marvin Stevens, for
ward, will be out. In fact all reg
ulars of last years five will suit up
for the 1922 season with the excep-
| ton of Poort, lanky center who
| graduated.
Coach Ream is optimistic con-
corning the chances of the Blue quin-
| tet.
We've the material for a going
team" said Ream, mot only among
the regulars, but the freshmen.
| Enough mon are out for four squads
now, but of course the elimination
process won't be long in asserting it
| SELF
The first game scheduled by the
! Ichabods is with Ottawa at Topeka
on January IA.
Coach Homer W. C'Bin") Hargiss
| of Emporia Normal, is showing ambi-
| ton for his 1922 squad of football
/ elbow Jackets.
When Madison Bell and his Haskell
Indians found it impossible to play
/ Notre Dame university in Kansas City,
| as per contract, Hargis offered to take
on the Catholics. A guarantee of
J $4,000 is to be met before the Notre
Dame players will make the trip.
! Hargiss wired the management of the
| South Bend, Ind, institution, but to
date no answer has been received.
! If Notre- Dame accepts and comes
| to Emporia for the game, it will un
| doubtedly be the most talked of game
in Kansas for the 1922 season.
When Billy Edwards. of Nebraska
! City, Neb., and Stanley Rogers, of
Houston, Tex, tangle on the mat of
the city auditorium the evening of
i January 2, Topekans will have an OPP
pOrtunity to witness one of the fastest
matches yet scheduled in Topeka. Ed
wards at one time held the middle
weight championship of Nebraska.
! Rogers is a whirlwind on the mat, and
| proved his worth to Topeka lovers of
! the game by defeating Tommy Tom
! linson Monday night at Warnick's hall.
| The men signed contracts and
! posted forfeits for the match Wednes-
day evening thru their managers. +.
! B. Smith, of Nebraska, is managing
Edwards and Jack Washburn is TAX
/ ing care of Rogers interests.
This bout will be the elimination of
a. wonderful effort put forth by p NJ.
pete" Young. of Topeka. to stimulate
| interest in the game. Enthusiasm wi.I
| be at a high pitch for the match, to
! all present indications.
/ AS yet the management of the To
peka club of the Southwestern league
| remains in doubt.
| Airy rumors have stated repeatedly
! that reliable, heady man, with years
! of experience, a big Lacquer has
been secured and signed for the club
management during the 1922 season,
but nothing definite has been ascer-'
tanned.
! The thigh mogtls" of the South
western league will undoubtedly take
care of that, however. 1t is authorita-
| lively stated that the sole reason the
Southwestern league could effect the
boost from class D to class G ball was
| thru the admittance of Topeka and
/ Hutchinson into the league.
If the above is true, Topekans need
not worry about the management of
/ the league.
