New Men Out for Practice
basketball Men Report for First Time—Getting in Good Form
The first practice game of the baseball season was played on McCook field yesterday between two teams picked from the Varsity squad. Wardie Weltmer, veteran outfielder and "K" man, led one of the teams and the opposing nine was headed by Dutch Schoenfeldt, second baseman on last year's Varsity team. The two teams battled for three innings and the Schoenfeldites were in the lead when the contest was called.
The players on Weltner's nine were as follows: Left field, Weltmer; center field, Oyster; right field, Smith; third base, Urblaub; short stop, Morgan; second base, Lonborg; first base, Machamer; catcher, Cooper, and pitcher, Schoopel. The team headed the defense. Left field, Eagles; center field, Goodwin; right field, Caler; third base, Keeler; short stop, Cherry; second base, Schoenfeld; first base, Williams; catcher, Bunn, and pitcher, Slawson.
The play of both teams was fast and slayy, considering the short time which the men have had for outdoor practice. Cherry looks like a good man n Joe Pratt's place in the short field and besides fiding in good style, he contributed a home run to his team's total score. Keeler performed well at third for the Schoenfeldites and also slammed a ball clear to the left field fence for four bases. For Weltmer's team, Dutch Uhrlaub at third base looked good and got one hit in two times at bat, besides handling cleanly his only chance in the field. Oyster in center field caught the only two flies knocked to the outfield.
Uhrlaub and Lonborg were out for practice for the first time yesterday afternoon and neither was in form. Lonborg, however, played well on last year's freshman nine and should develop into a first class ball player. Uhrlaub's hitting in the practice which preceded the game yesterday was excellent, as he knocked several balls over the embankment in deep left field. Both Bouchier's and Bond's pegging was fast and accurate for early season work. Neither pitcher was putting much on the ball as Coach Bond has forbidden curves to be thrown until later in the season.
The infield on the McCook field diamond has been dragged and is in fairly good shape for playing. A shipment of new bats has been received by the athletic management and will be tried out by the players during the next few days. Both the Varsity and freshmen squads should be in good shape in a short time, and ready to begin the Varsity-freshmen practice games, probably immediately after the Easter vacation.
Cairns of Winfield, although playing center, was one of the best guards in the tournament. Cairns is an ideal basketball player, a good floor man, an excellent passer and a power in breaking up his opponent's scoring class in scored class in scoring, both from the flend and the free throw line.
SPORT BEAMS
Emporia had one of the classiest little teams entered. Every man, with the exception of Kliwer at center, was small but each player made up for lack of weight with fight. Grant and Baird played well at forwards and Jensen, brother of Bus Jensen, K. U. gymnast, showed class at guard.
G. Gardner, Arkansas City forward, was the high score man in the tournament with 82 points. He was closely followed by Dotson of Newton with 78 points. Gardner also ranked highest in average points per game with 16 2-5. The twelve high score men, with the number of field goals, free throws, total points and average points per game of each player, are as follows:

Spring Football Work
Stopped by Coach Bond
The work in spring football has ceased with the coming of the warm weather and the men have their choice of taking tennis, baseball or any of the other courses in physical training. There is an argument for spring football but the most of them changed to baseball when outdoor practice started.

Most of the men who reported for spring football were freshmen who were out to learn the style of play to be used by the Varsity next fall. Coach Bond gave the men a few new plays and taught them how to block
