Athletics Are Strong At Great Lakes School Writes Coach Olcott
work Has Been Hampered by Deep Snow and Quarantine
Olcott Will Coach Football
Baseball Lineup This Spring Will Include Many Big League
Athletics at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, have been greatly hampered by the deep snow and the strict quarantines according to a letter received from Coach H. P. Occlott. Mr. Olcott who was football coach of the Navy played game last fall and is now athlete instructor at Great Lakes.
Since he has been connected with the big training station, it has turned out a near champion football team and now the basketball quintet ranks among the best in the middle west. The Jackie five has defeated Northwestern, until recently the leader in the Big Ten conference race. Chicago defeated Baltimore also defeated. The swimming team representating the station won second in the Central A. A. A. race with Illinois A. A. C. in the lead.
BOXING POPULAR AT THE LAKES
Boxing is very popular with the Jackies, according to Coach Olcott, and every afternoon the sailors fight ten three-round bouts to a decision.
Fifteen professional pugilists and instructors are employed as instructors in the Station and in this way mankind may gain an opportunity to learn the art of self defense from a master. Boxing also is a big assistance in bayonet drill, which, although, not carried on intensely as in the army, is rapidly coming into great popularity at the station.
BOXING POPULAR AT THE LAKES
Coach Olcott says that a new drill known as the "daily dozen set up," and recommended by Walter Camp, is being used now instead of the Swedish exercises. During the recreation hours, the Jackies play hand and an excellent team has been formed from the experienced skaters.
OLCOTT HEAD COACH
Coach Olcott has been appointed by the Navy Department Commission on Camp Activities as head coach in charge of all the spring football practice. He will be able to begin outdoor work as soon as the weather permits. Prospects for a good team at the Great Lakes are even better than last year, as the candidates for the team have been reinforced by the recent arrival of Captain Courtney of Ohio State, All-
Western tackle last year; Day and Kostitzky, center and guard on the Nebraska last year; Halas of Illinois, and backman, Notre Dame, halfback. The Training Station's schedule includes games next fall with Illinois, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Purdue and other Big Ten eleven.
The former Jayhawk coach is also planning to introduce field hockey in the spring, and Doctor Kaufman, head of the athletic department, is counting on putting 100 Jack baseballs on him in the 500-500 men playing baseball at present.
BASERALL TEAMS STRONG
The Great Lakes baseball team will probably rank among the strongest teams of the country, as such big league stars are Leonard, Washington, third baseman; Johnston, Philadelphia, Athletic, outfielder; Chourinard and Clemons of the White Sox and others are in training at the Station. "With all this wealth of material, the Jackie first team," in the words of Coach Olcott, "should be a bird."
Track is also on the boom and a Class A team should be developed, with Eddie Fall, former Oberlin star and Western Conference one and two mile champion, and Knourek, national amateur pole vault record holder, in the field.
By Skillful Dribbling Kansas Aggies Defeat Varsity in Last Game
Coach Hamilton's Men Unable to Overcome Lead—Final Score 32 to 25
The Kansas basketball team lost the final game of the season to the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan last night in a very rough and ragged contest by a 32-25 score. The Aggies out-played the K. U. five from the start, and were never in danger of being headed.
The Aggie forwards scored many of their goals by dribbling the entire length of the court and passing the Kansas guards. Whedon, the Aggie center, was the most proficient at this style of play. Captain Van Trine came from his place at center being taken by Whedon. Van Trine was the individual star of the game, shooting eight field goals and six free throws.
The Aggies led at the end of the first half with a 21-13 score. Coach Hamilton sent Fearing in to replace Bunn and immediately replaced Fearing by Knowles. In the last half Foltz replaced Blair for the Aggies and Rice replaced Laslett for Kansas. Laslett was removed from the game by Referee Quigley in the last few minutes of play for talking back to the official.

A WORD TO MEN ABOUT CLOTHES
EXPERIENCE has taught the public to look with suspicion upon clothing which comes from unknown and hidden origins-particularly with wool growing scarcer-prices going higher the temptation to cheapen and adulterate becoming stronger and stronger.
The clothemaker who has no reputation at stake-no fixed pledges to bind him may decide it is more profitable to give way to the pressure than to resist it.
An unlabeled garment is an evasion of responsibility.
In affixing their label to a garment, on the other hand, the Kirschbaum clothesmakers say,"For this garment
and for every process in its making, we assume full responsibility. Upon its ability to satisfy the wearer we stand or fall."
No eye—not even the eye of the expert-can detect a slight mixture of cotton in an unworn fabric. Nor can it tell from the surface of the suit whether the inner and unseen details have been well or badly done.
Your certain protection, and ours, is a label which identifies the garment as coming from a maker whose name is a guarantee of all-wool, and the excellence of workmanship that belongs with all-wool—the Kirschbaum label.
