Shipley Picks Team.
BY III. c. BYRD.
Y UNIVERSITY OF INDIANA'S
l basket ball team, generally re-
~ garded as one Of the best

%OACH SHIPLEY of Maryland has
about decided on the lineup he
will send into his opening game.
Only one regular from last years five
is named, as the other four graduated.
Bernie Buscher, guard last season, is
placed at forward, while the other
member Of the varsity squad certain to
start is Willis at center. Waters, who
comes up from the freshman team, is
to play the other forward, while the
guards probably will be Andorka and
Headley. also named for their first
years on the varsity. Sothoron may
play In Headley's place.
Headley is in rather an unusual posi-
ton, as he seems certain to make
regular job but is to be taken OF the
basket ball squad after the holidays
to become a member of the track
squad. Headley, as freshman, last
year broke the University Of Maryland
half mile record with a mark of 1859.
Incidentally. Headley. whose home
is in College Park, bids fair to de-
velop into an exceptionally good ath-
lete, both in foot ball and track, or
basket ball or any other sport in which
he may take part. He has a lot of
natural ability and is intelligent.
In speaking of track, it seems almost
certain that Coach Eppley of Mary
land will this Winter and next Spring
have the best all-around group of
speedsters and field men that have
been turned out at College Park.
Eppley is better fixed in the dashes,
distances, hurdles and field events
than any former Maryland team ever
has been.

Turner, who has convinced himself

been responsible for the small crowds
instead Of his fights, at last will heed
a hundred adviceS. Only the first Is
rows of the original orchestra seats
will be left rooted in the floor, which
is neither level enough to be any good

enough to fulfill wishes to use the

bleacher seats, such as are In vogue at
the Riding and Hunt Club. The bal

This will cut down the seat

attracted anywhere near that

little to lose.

Money Decides Schedules.

MONEY still is a powerful factor
V in the scheduling of foot ball
games. One group Of colleges
do not have a very keen desire to
play any contest out of which they
may not draw sufficient gate receipts
to swell their Golfers considerably,
while another group is willing to play
any other school that is in a position
to offer a sufficiently large guarantee.
There are exceptions to both these
classes, but in the great majority of
cases one Of the first questions asked
when a game is suggested is, What
do you think we could draw"
In many cases, the great majority
Of cases In fact, this matter of de-
string to make money out of foot ball
is not derogatory to the game or to
the college unless it is made so. So
many schools depend almost entirely
on what they get out of gridiron COM
petition to finance their other sports
that they are in position where they
simply have got to make money to
carry on these athletic programs. In
other words, as long as foot ball is
the bread and butter Of athletics, it
Is the sustenance to which these pro-
grams must look.
