Kansas Conference Echoes

Both Haskell Indian institute. Law
renee, and Ste Benedict's college,
Atchison, are to play Kansas Intercol-
legiate Athletic Conference schedules
in basketball and football the ensuing
season, according to the schedules
made out at the recent conference
meeting at Topeka.
Hays Normal which finished at the
top of the percentage column in the
1921 football season, has it's football
schedule completed with exception of
three open dates, but no games thus
far have been arranged with the
stronger teams Of the east part of the
state. This same circumstance, on
1.-The 1921 schedule, occasioned consid
cradle comment, for aHho Hays won
| the championship, considering the per-
| centage column as an index, it did not
! meet any of the three runners-up. It
| is understood that efforts are being
made for Hays-C. of E. game, the
Emporia college having two open days
| corresponding with those of Hays.
| Coach Woodward of Hays tried to get
| games with the stronger teams, but
was unable to do so mainly because
of the high proportionate expense of
railroad transportation necessary for
+ a Hays game, eastern coaches ex-
| planned.
Bethel college of Newton, which has
not played football in the conference
| the past two seasons. will carry its role
in basketball agenda.
]. F. Phillips of Southwestern was
| again elected to pilot the Kansas con-
| ference another season. W. B. Will
| son of Ottawa university and c. S.
| Parmenter of Baker university were
| re-
! tary respectively. The three have
| served eight years. F. T. owens of
| the College of Emporia and E. O.
| Deere of Bethany were reelected to
| the executive committee and c. r.
| Phipps of the Emporia State Normal
was elected to represent the confer
ence at the meeting of the National
intercollegiate Athletic Conference in
New York during the holidays.
Nothing doing on division of the
| conference. Plans of two-way and
three-way splits for the football sea-
son were talked of by conference dele
gates in the lobby, but the subject
wasn't preached in the open sessions.
1t is said, tho, the question was dis
cussed in executive session.
The Emporia and Hays Normal
| schools will play their first confer
| ence football game next fall a week
| start. They will play eight conference
games Pittsburg Normal and South
| western will play ten-game seasons.
To avoid confusion in letter hon
ors, the college athletic chiefs want
the high schools to adopt monograms
instead of letters for awarding ath-
| letes; also that the colleges adopt a
uniform schedule of decorative nota-
tions including the letter.
washburn has games scheduled
with both the Kansas Aggies and K. U.
next fall and will pray Thanksgiving
| day game in Topeka with Pittsburs
| for a Thanksgiving game but Man

will be held at Baker university in
| May. The conference will hold an Of
fetal delegate meeting at that time

| diets college, Atchison, to the confer

Three hundred games are scheduled
| by the Kansas conference for the bas-
ketball season, opening the first week
| IN January and closing the first week

Only one team forced the ball
across the Kansas State Normal

season. This score was made by the

by the K S. N, 81 to Z. Two other

| Norma1s-Washbur and Baker But
both these scores were on blocked
punts recovered back of the goal line.
