TWO BASKET BALL HOPES OUT OF GAME
Promising Material Injured and Cannot Play—Other Players in Fine Fettle
Basket-ball prospects, which at the beginning of the season seemed so prospereous, are assuming a graver aspect at K. U. laterly. This change in the fortunes of "Lefty" Sproull's bunch is due not so much to lack of material as it is to injuries suffered by many of the most promising candidates now out for the team.
Van der Vries, counted upon as a sure choice for one of the upward positions, is laid up for a time with an injured leg. Fat Nelson, captain of last years tyro aggregation, be out of the air to play in his season, must only an injury to his knee which proved bothersome this fall. While making a sharp turn on the floor one night he twisted the injured member sufficiently to throw the cap again out of place. As Nelson was perhaps the greatest's promising students, his loss is felt by the captain and the coaches.
Greenlees Returns
The first practice after the close of the football season brought cheer to Hamilton's heart. With it appeared Charley Greenlees, captain of last year's aggregation, and Jayahawk Varsity eleven. It was impossible for Greenees to work at the gym at night during the football season as all his time was taken up by the coaches on McCook, field, but now that the BB队 had been disbanded, the clever guard can turn all of his attention to basketball, and relieve Sproull and Hamilton just that much.
Harlan Russell, sub half and quarter on Mosse and Frank's eleven, may also turn out. Russell was trained with the Lawrence high school eleven under Ross, one of the headiest coaches of interscholastic basket-ball to be found in the state, and his experience gained on the town five stood him in good stead when he reported for Jay Bond's freshman team last fall, filling the time that Russell played by Bond's stellar man at forward, and the that of the Yearling trainer at place. If Russell reports for the Varsity this fall, as the coaches desire him to, he will do much to help out Sproult's men in their practice work .
Many Veterans on Team
Aside from the injuries mentioned the 1914 five seems to be in good condition. Sproull and Van der Vries at forwards are a heady pair of athletes, both old at the game and versed in the play of the conference teams. Weaver, center with Walt Boehm, alternated at that position on Hamilton's 1915 team and made good in every respect. The "Cherry" insult as he is termed by the routers, is in fair condition to begin the work this fall and is practicing nightly and rounding into his usual form.
Baldwin, an athlete on one of Hamilton's earlier teams, has returned to the University and is working hard to make a name for himself on Sproull's five. The big player looks to be in good condition, and ready for a hard season's work if called upon.
Dunnie, Smith, and Greenlee, the guards, are the same trio which helped Hamilton's five last year to capture the Southern Conference Championship, and run Nebraska a close race for the Northern. The 1914 team began their tightening at that point of its makeup, but has an ample fortification in Folks and Brown, of last year's College team.
Practice will be held at 7 o'clock tonight in the gym.
TO NAME FOOTBALL CAPTAIN TUESDAY
Team to Pick Leader if Eligibility of Stuewe is by That Time Settled
The football capability election, postponed because of a doubt concerning the eligibility of one of the most promising candidates, will be held Tuesday night at 7 o'clock in the Eldridge house. Stueve, the athlete concerning wiltshire, will have one is going to have fully utilized his standing by that time, and a final report will have been made to the other athletes.
Manager Hamilton left last night for Ames, Ia., to attend a meeting of the conference representatives to be held there today and tomorrow. At this meeting Stuewe's eligibility, as well as that of Max Towle, captain-

RETURN NEXT WEEK
Leonard Frank, assistant coach of the Jayhawk 1913 football team, is still sojourning with his brethren and fellow alumni in the wilds of Minneapolis, Minn. When the big coach intends to return to Lawrence is not definitely known. The sport
