UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN DECMEBER 13, 1917. Hard Work Is Program For Kansas Quintet Until Opening Battle Jayhawker Prospects Are Not As Promising As Last Season Varsity Five Is Outplayed With the opening Missouri Valley Conference basketball game only a little more than four weeks away, Coach W. O. Hamilton is working hard over time rounding the Jayhawker quintet into form. The coach is putting the Varsity squad through a series of practices and serimbres every after preparation for the opening clash here January 17 and 18, with Ames. Kansas prospects are not as bright as they were at the beginning of the season last year, but some good players are out to make the team and after a couple more weeks of practice it is believed the machine will be working much better. At present the quintet lacks the necessary teamwork, and also the vim that characterized last year's five. VARSITY TAKES SMALL LEAD VARISITY TAKES SMALL LEAD In the scrimage with the Varsie, yesterday afternoon, the Varsie succeeded in piling a six-point- ple of ice, the fifteen minutes of play. The freshmen were ahead until the last five minutes of play when the regulars struck its stride and made three baskets in quick succession. The Varsity lineal consisted of Fearing and Miller, forwards; Mathews, center; Captain Uhlrau and Devenish. He was not on the practice, but was not suited up. He has been out for a couple of the scrimmages the last week, however, and will likely be back in his old position at guard in the scrimmage this after FORWARDSEVERY MATCHED in the scoring yesterday afternoon, Fearing and Miller succeeded in making about an equal number of baskets. Mathews and Uhlrub also connected for a basket each, while Uhlrub made one free throw. One of the principal reasons for the score Variety wrote did not get the signals as they should. Mathews got the tip at center most of the time, but the freshmen succeeded in gaining possession of the ball. When Laslett gets back into the game, and the players learn the signals a little better, it is believed the team will make a much better showing. The lineup at present is Captain Uhrlauh and Laslett, guards; Mathers, center; and Fearing and Millie, players are out to make the team, however, and it is possible there may be a couple of changes. FROSH FIGHT HARD The freshman quintet is much better than usual this year. Two of the players that showed up exceptionally well in the scrimmage yesterday afternoon were Adams, left forward, and Bennett, right guard. Adams and Bennett stood out because of their fast running ability in breaking up the Varsity plays. Adams and Shields played the forward positions for the freshmen, Harmus the coping player, and other guard positions.

The Missouri Valley Conference ruling adopted last Saturday that allows freshman games between two teams is believed to be responsible for the rejuvenated spirit and enthusiasm.

Women's interclass basketball clashes will start immediately after the Christmas holidays according to Miss Hazel Pratt, coach. Daily practices are being held now by the women in gymnastics classes. The seniors have been practicing twice a week during the noon hour. Basketball is the major sport for women here, and Coach Pratt said she expected a hundred or more candidates to come out for the class teams. Since the game is played with one line through the center instead of two, it furnishes an excellent opportunity for physical development. The senior team is picked as a favorite to win the class championship at present. The members of the team having played together since freshmen. The team consists of Dorothy Querfeld, Dorothy Cole, Nell Liebengood, Dorothy Tucker, Joyce Brown, and Fredia Daum. The sophomores also have a strong team this year and are likely contestants for the championship honors. The women who compose the senior team won the championship last year when they were juniors, and the women of the sophomore team won second place for the freshmen last season.
