The Newton high school basketball

on the Arkansas City court.
The results of the first two games
put an entirely new angle on the pen
nant race. Altho Newton is in the
lead and has a strong aggregation, it
has a hard schedule facing it for the
remainder of the season, and will pro-
baby be forced to win all its games
to retain its lead and clinch the pen
nant. Nickerson is playing a high
brand of basketball but has been err

not known. Wichita faces an easy

defeat.

Southwestern and Fairmount Have
1000 Per Cent Showing.

The next week probably will tell
whether Southwestern college will
maintain its position at the top of the
Kansas intercollegiate conference in
the chase for the basketball pennant.
Southwestern and Paramount are
the only teams in the conference with
a. 1000 per cent showing and 1t IS
possible that the two games between
these two teams, one Monday at Win
field, the other at Wichita on the fol-
lowing Wednesday. will determine the
championship. AT any rate it appears
likely that the two games will elimi-
nate one of the present leaders.
Southwestern thus far, however, has
been playing what are considered the
weaker teams of the conference. The
ensuing week will be the most strenu-
Gus of the season. Tonight the
will meet the Ottawa
university five on the home court. OF
tawa now stands fourth on the confer
ence list and has shown excellent
form in a number of the games this

Following the two Paramount
games next week, Southwestern will
meet the two strong Emporia teams

BASKETBALL NOTES
BY HAROLD HENDERSON.

In a letter to the sporting editor of
The State Journal, Leonard E. Top,
principal of Jennings high school. re-
flutes the claims of Goodland high
school for the basketball champion
ship of northeast Kansas. THE beat
ing of such team as Jennings does
not mean that they are more than
contenders,' says Top. Jennings has
a two-year high school in connection
with the grades, making ten grades in
all. he states. There are only six
teen pupils enrolled in the high school
department and one half are boys"
says Top. The average age is 16
years and the average weight is 1873
pounds. There are only six available
players. We have won five out of
nine games played and all competitors
have been four-year high schools.
Four have been county high schools
and the rest have been city high
schools. We are mighty proud of the
showing the team has made against
its much heavier and older opponents
but 1 do not hesitate to state that in
a tournament, with only six men
available we could not stand the con-
tinuous grind. We have won from
Decatur county, Rawlins county, and
Clayton high school. The Decatur
team was weakened by the loss of it's
center and captain, who were suffer-
ing from blood poison at that time.
In my mind Decatur has the strongest
capable of defeating Goodland by a
safe margin. However, GoodIand has
failed to schedule a game with ODER

The Wheaton, Kan. high school
team is leading in the race for the
championship of PottaWatomie coun-

teams it has defeated and the scores
of the games are as follows: West

rison, 81 to % and 80 to IS; Ravens

50 to 3: st. George, So to 90. The
three high point men on the team
are: Lester Griffith, POI points;
Chester Bushby, SIS points and Robert
Griffith, IS points.

ketball team of Croweburg, Kan, de-
feated the Haskell institute quintet bv

Miss Lotus Robb. a young Amer
lean actress who has been in Berlin
studying the German presentation
of The Marvellous Adventures of
Conductor Kreisler." has now re-
turned to the United States. She
will be cast for the triple role Of
Julia, Euphemia and Donna Anna,
when this hybrid work, half drama
and half moving picture, has its
New York premiere during the COM
ing season. The fantastic creation
is from the pen OF E. T. R. Hoh-
mann, the Edgar Allen Poe of Ger
man literature.
It is said that the text will be
considerably revised before presen-
tation in New York. Its chief at
fractions to American theatergoers,
who are always seeking something
new, will lie in the lighting effects
and the speed with which the forty
two scenes are shifted. The play
