sent kilograms to Senator La Fol-

solicitation OF funds for his campaign
In the name of the University.
Tho telegram was inspired by the
alleged distribution among alumni in
New York of an appeal for funds for
the La Toilette Wheeler campaign.
mailed with a blank check inscribed
for old University of Wisconsin"
The telegram said:
I'VE. the undersigned, resent the
linking of the name Of the university
and it's alumni with the La Toilette
Wheeler campaign and the implica-
tion that the alumni are definitely al
lied with that campaign or the cam
paign OF any other political party
La Toilette has transgressed both
custom and tradition in thus mis-
using the name of the university In
the interest Of his personal ambition.
The tactics used in raising funds
through an appeal in the name Of the
university are malicious. in that they
make the university appear a parti-
san institution. The alumni generally
resent the attempt OF any political
group to capitalize the name of the
university. Steps must be taken to
combat such misuse OF the name. The
secretaries of the University OF Wis
consin clubs throughout the country
shall be informed of the attitude
taken by the Undersigned. and the
request made that members of their
associations be invited to join ma :

the ill-advised use OF the name of our

The principles OF the five-man
defense are simple. When the
other team has the ball, Business
entire team camps near the basket.
Three men stand in the front line,
with arms vertical. The other two
stand a few feet behind them, in q
like posture. Such q defense means
that for the other team to get
near the basket, some fancy pass
ing has got to be uncorked.
The main idea behind the
strategy is the fact that "snOw.
birds" are q rarity. The,fOnIy
scoring possible, as GOnZaga and
other teams have ascertained to
their sorrow, is done from near
mid-cOurt, and such shots are ex-
ceedingly difficult.
Behind the defense there Is a
three.man passing game that melds
tuently enough for most.
Given possession of the ball, any
three men on the Business team
can work it down the floor, with
q fourth man waiting just outside
the scrimmage for an emergency
pass, and the fifth camped under
the enemy's basket, to be on the
alert for a slip up in the passing
department. When it goes off
smoothly, and Business works it
well for beginners, the game is
something pretty to behold.
But q lone mishap has occurred
to mar Businesses success ON
the court. Pete Furman, last
year an all.high basketball star,

center. Just the type of a key

tense and defense. Coach Sanborn
at Tech could use Mr.. Brist very
well this year inasmuch as he has
only one man, Captain Zahn, left
over from last year.

season through the ability Of four

All this is going to give rise to q
great many rumors concerning the
star batsman.S baseball connections
for the 1926 championship season.
There are at least two National
League clubs in position to offer
huge sums for the best swatter in
the game. They are the Cubs and
Giants. Chicago needs him worse
than New York.
Some years ago, when Charles
Weeghman had the Cubs, the same
Horpsby almost came to Chicago.
A deal was in the making and the
sum Of $4,000 interfered with its
contamination. Weeghman baked
at the extra ten grand and booted
the biggest David Harum of mod
ern times. He was not entirely to
blame, because Hornsby had not
yet developed intp the worlds
greatest socker.
The Cardinals had q most in.

receipts did not equal expendi.
lures. The good folks Of St.
Louis s0uTed on their ball. club
ana withheld patronage. Great
as HOrnSby Is, he could not coax
them into SpOrtsman's Park when
the Cards were at home. Other
circumstances tended to keep
down patronage.
The last time Hornsby's contract
expired there was vafK that he
might go to the Giants. Such
rcmors were pooh.poohed by Rick
ey. Finally the player signed and
gave his best efforts to his en-
ployers, even though he worked on
job surrounded by conditions not
to his liking. For one thing, he
and Hickey do not agree. Yet he
played good ball and set a batting
record during the last season.
Hickey already has said he viii
not sell or trade Rogers. However,
that need not deter the Cubs from
making proffers. A man of his
offensive power would make the
Cubs the best bet in the National
League for the 1925 championship.
hickey can't make money IL he
retains the star and he is afraid to
cash on his contract lest the home
fans arise and howl They might
make some noise, at that, but there
couldn't any more Of them remain
away from the Cardinal ball games
than did last summer.
1t is a QUEER situation. Hornsby
would fetch in the open market a
sum sufficiently large to make uu
several seasons deficits. The Cards
are due to lose money with
Hornsby-they might break even
II he were sold.
