PLAN new ATHLETIC SYSTEM
Washburn College Board to Consider
Reorganization Scheme.

The athletic board of Washburn
college will meet tonight to consider
plans for recognizing the athletic sys-
tenn of the college.
1t has been known for a long time
that something has been lacking in
the athletic system. Altho the Icha-
bods won the football championship
in 1920. the football team last year
was a disappointment. Likewise the
basketball team this year is not what
it should be. Washburn has the ma
terial for good teams and it is believed
that if the missing link" is supplied.
the college Will soon reach the top in
the athletic class.
While it is not known what action
Will be taken by the athletic board. it
is thought likely that it may be de-
cided to hire an athletic director. in
order that the coach may have suffi-
cient time to devote TO field work. No
reflections are cast upon Coach Dwight
Ream- 1t has simply been a case
where his administrative duties have
been so heavy that he has not had the
opportunity to spend as much time as
he should in developing his teams.
President P. p. Womer has taken a
great interest in the college athletics
and it is largely thru him that the
conference has been called for tonight.
1t is hoped that the way may be
smoothed out whereby Washburn will
come into her own in athletics among
the Kansas schools.

ened to withdraw $141, 900 unless steps

HEAVY BANK LOSS
c. NJ. Condor State Bank at
Oswego Is Closed.
Losses May Exceed $50,000
Says Bank Commissioner.

Parsors, kan, March This
bank closed by order of state banking
department" was the notice on the
c. NJ. Condor State bank at Os-
wego, this morning. reputed to be
one of the strongest banks in the state
o. Gossard is president and E.. d.
Nance cashier. An examination of the
bank is under way. The bank was or
ganized in 1870. Paper, which the
bank failed to realize on is said to be
the cause of the difficulty.
w E. Davis, vice president of the
Condor State bank, has admitted TAX
ing $33,SOO in government bonds.
Directors of the bank issued the fol-
lowing statement this afternoon:
1.-The board of directors of the Con-
don bank late last evening voted to
turn over the affairs of the bank to
the state banking department Hope
is entertained that a failure may be
avoided and the state banking depart
ment is working to that end ". T.
Davis, vice president of the bank, mas
admitted taking $33, 800 in government
bonds He is trying to raise funds to
make good the shortage B. v curry,
special deputy bank commissioner mas mas
not yet completed his examination, but
he states that it is his bellef that there
are no other shortages
The c. NJ. Condor & Company State
bank may have losses in excess of
$4,000, according to preliminary es-
Inmates today in the office of Frank
H. Foster. state bank commissioner
It is regarded as one of the biggest
state bank failures in Kansas in sev-
eraI months. ]. H Sandell. assistant
bank commissioner, stated that o.
Gossard, president, and Elmer s
Nance, cashier were not involved in
the banks trouble.
OF the 500 shares of stock in the
bank, 40 were owned by r.. p Leh-
man and w. E. Davis, vice presidents
The two men purchased controlling
interest in the bank some time ago.
Both were former residents of Pitts
burg. Lehman was engaged in the
tobacco business there and Davis was
employed in a bank.
Under Guaranty Law.
The Oswego institution operated
under the state bank guaranty law.
This protection means the depositors
will not lose in settlement of the in
stitution's affairs. The bank was cap
italized for $4,000. had a surplus of
S 900 and carried deposits amoun.-
ing to s25O.OOO. 1t is likely an assess J
ment will be levied against the state
bank guaranty fund in meeting short
ages.
Trouble of the bank in making con-
nections which would provide suffi- /
rient credit is believed responsible !
for the banks difficulty, The state !
banking department has had the in /
stitution under surveillance since !
early in January. B. V. Curry, state !
bank examiner, is now in Oswego and /
will report to the state department as

be pursued

counts" said SandelL 1T appears |
hat Lehman and Davis did not have
