Although little has been noted con-
cerning the Cardinal basketers so far

Schmarr, who is the lone sopho-

How He Became
Bones Hamilton

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calf.


GTANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calf.
Foot ball fans look at the
newspaper photos of chunky Robert
(Bones) Hamilton. Stanford's ace
right halfback, and wonder how he
ever acquired such a nickname.
Bones" finally explained it this
way:
When I was attending Kiski
preparatory school in PennSyl-
vania the fellows on the team
called me Ham Then it went to
Ham and EGGS Then somebody
dropped the eggs and made it
'Hambone' and finally the ham
was cut of and that left bone
so they changed 1t a bit and there
you have it."
Bones" has a reputation for
being a good debater, his argu-
mentative ability having been
clearly brought out this season
when, acting as captain for the
Indians, he questioned officials
closely on their rulings. Coach
Tiny Thornhill AYERS Hamilton's

American acceptance of the invitation

Get More Practice Time.

4 THOUGH refusing to change
n the rule regarding the limited
period Of competition, the
faculty representatives voted to waive
for another year the rule prohibiting
conference teams from engaging
teams not meeting conference require
ments as regards freshman COMPETE
tion. This means that Illinois can 20
ahead with its proposed game with
Southern California and that Michi-
gan will be free to schedule Penn and
Columbia, where freshmen are per-
mitted to play freshmen of other
schools.
The faculty representatives made
another important decision In moving
the date Of the first foot ball practice
sessions from September IS to Sep
tember 10. This additional five days
will enable the coaches to get their
players in better condition for early
season games, improving their caliber
Of play and reducing the possibility
Of injuries.
The faculty representatives refused
the athletic directors requests for
l4-game conference schedules In
basket ball. They will continue to
play IL games each season.
The two-day meeting Of the
coaches, at which schedules for all
sports in 1885 were drawn, will be
concluded tomorrow when the basket
ball mentors meet to frame their
schedule and discuss the rules.

Georgetown's crack freshman team
will open its campaign, engaging
Western at 7:30 o'clock in a prelim-
mary game. With such former high
school standouts on their roster as
Buddy Nau, Tommy Nolan. Carroll
Shore, Harry Bassin, Mario Gregorio,

Is Not Discouraged.

&c W competition OF a
IN nigh percentage of transfer
students are not accurate nor
complete. Many colleges of all sizes
let their freshmen compete in one
sport or another against other fresh
man teams, but keep no record OF
lne-ups nor substitutions. Such
games are informal and Of little
consequence. No records are kept. I
venture to guess that there are dozens
OF transfer athletes in the Big Ten
who have had freshman intercol-
legiate competition of which there Is
no record"
Asked about the effect of the ruling
on his 1885 team, Bierman said:
1T hurts US heavily. I am not
entirely discouraged, however, about
our prospects. Wen show them some
pretty good foot ball. 1t means we
have to use more unseasoned men,
have to develop more slowly, and have
TO NIL vacancies we had not foreseen.
but we have some good boys and am
sure they will bear down harder in
response to the emergency and will
DO all they can to make a winning
team. We do not seem to be very
successful at winning arguments in
star chamber sessions, but maybe we
still can win few on the foot ball
field"

v Y Buscher, University of
Marylands outlook for
success on the basket ball court this
season is not as bright as usual.
Buscher, who played guard last VIM
ter, may be shifted to a forward Job
this season.
Four others who saw action during
the last campaign, three of them let
ter winners, are at hand, including
Vic Willis, tall center; Roy Yowell,
forward or center. and Norwood Soth-
oron, guard or forward. who gained
their insignia, and Alton Rabbit. for
ward, who barely missed getting his
letter.
There are just eight more on the
Old Line roster and the most likely
appearing in this group are Bill An
dorka and Charlie Keller. guards, and
Al Waters, forward, all sophomores.
TIRED SCHEELE and Chester Cross,
both juniors, out for awhile in
previous season; Roswell
Bryant and Ed Daily, sophomores, and
Steve Physioc, base ball pitcher, who
is a senior and trying the court game
for the first time, are the others on
the squad. Scheele and Physioc ap-
pear to be the most promising.
Right now Coach H. Burton Ship
ley, starting his eleventh season as
tutor of the Maryland courtmen, re-
CARDS as his tentative first-string
combination Buscher and Waters,
forwards; Willis, center. and Andorka
and Keller, guards. Made up of two
juniors and three sophs, this COM
bination probably will suffer through
inexperience, especially in the early
stages of the campaign.
Maryland faces a difficult 18-game
schedule, and. all in all, it appears
that Coach Shipley is in for about
the hardest job he has had since he
began directing the Terps on the
court back in 1923. That was the
first season the Old Liners put the
court game on firm basis and Ship
lost no time in getting them estab-
lished among the leaders In the sport.
