Tennis Prospects Look Bright for Season's Matches
Tentative Schedule Include Seven Valley Schools and Two Big Ten Matches
Missouri Valley competition in teni-
this year is expected to bring out
some of the hottest and fastest court
contests in recent years, according
to Muir Rourks, captain of the Kansas
team. Missouri, Washington and
Illinois, and Mimi Walters be-
running for valley honors with vet
eran teams.
The 1925 Valley net season will find Kansas as strong and as much to be feared as ever. Although George Gashka, last year's captain will not be able to play this year or account of having three years of Val's success, the prospects of Kansas having a championship team are bright.
Hubble and Mindlin of Missouri, who so gallantly guarded themselves over the university courts last year will be fighting again this year for the honor of "old Miscion." Although Glakin and Mindlin have unmoved Hubble and Mindlin, the Missouri team showed excellent ability which by this season should be remembered.
Glackin and Rogers, playing for Kansas, defended every team in the Missouri Valley and also Southwest at Winfield, Oklahoma A. and M Kentucky at Cincinnati. In the Valley tournament at Lineiro last year Rogers won the championship in singles. At the national in ter-college tournament at Philadelphia and at Utah well and was mentioned in seventh place in the national standing.
According to Captain Muir Rogers, the absence of Glaskin will not injure Kansas in the Valley, as there are several likely candidates who look exceptionally good. Some of the best prospects from whom Captain Rogers pick a team mate are Donald Hugh, Gilford Campbell and John Bell.
This year the two men will fight hard to uphold the high standards of the Valley and last two years. In addition to playing all the Valley schools they will make two invasions into the Big Terrain territory playing Illinois and Chicago.

Helen Kennedy, president.

Stillwater was penalized 26 points for mistakes. Oklahoma scoring 90 points for second place, best only six points on mistakes and least from the fray with the high honors.

K.U. Boxers to Stage Three Exhibition Bouts at Legion Smoker
Men Are Slow Signing up for Inter-Organization Boxing Tournament
Tournament
"Tommy" Dixon's boxers will give three exhibition bouts at the American Legion emerger tonight, at the American Legion hall.
Bill Inner will box Alvin McCoy, Harry Mullinix will box Charles Hutchinson, and Leon Seelig will box Nona Snyder. This is one of the publicity stunts being used to give boxing more prominence in Lawrence, Kansas, and for five heats in neighboring towns in the near future.
"the boys are signing for entry in the inter-organization tournament slowly." Coach Dixon said. "They need you to be extremely enterable. One fact that I wish to impress," he declared, "is that they need have no four of any of the boys who won first models last year. We need to place everyone on an equal standing."
"Another thing is that, some are afraid of the boys who already know the word 'boy,' so a boy never knows what is really in him until he gives himself a trial." In addition to the first medals, gold glove will be given.
Baseball Prospects Bright
Squad Meets Friday Afternoon in Gymnasium
"The first meeting of the baseball squad probably will be held Friday afternoon in the gym," Coach "Poty" Clark said today. "In looking over the eligible men for varsity material, I find a woman and a man who are good and kind for several years. We have only four letter men back, Halpin, Wright, Skinner, and Kennedy. The prospective sophomore list, however, looks good. Sophomores we are out for the team are: Sweenon, Zuber, Gori, Curtis, and Duncan, among several others. Hill and Armstrong who were injured last season are both back in school and will be out ready to battle. I am sure we will have more fight this year and that is what it takes to win any game. We need to formulate a schedule whereby the pitchers will begin to work out in the gym. Due to the fact that the gym is in use each afternoon by the varsity basketball team, and in use at nights with the intra-national tournament, the morning schedule will be arranged for those who could attend mornings.
"It will not be safe to say just when we expect to get out on the beach, you can go back to the weather. In the meantime we can begin to get in shape in the gym, Warming up slowly and knocking grounders will perhaps be our first

Brumham have been active; Amsterdam, where the palys of Herman Rodillik, 94, are produced, and Paris, where Ridhuis manager, would have been included. A few of the Americans are: Critics, Robert C.
