Returning K.U. Athletes Give Prospects Boost In Valley Conference
Sixteen Football Letter Men Expected to Enroll Here Next Fall
Former Coaches Will Return
Five Basketball Letter Men and Complete Freshman Squad Will Be Back
Probably never in the history of the University of Kansas has there been as bright prospects for athletics as there is for the school year of 1919-1920. With the return of former Jawahraketer by the scores, some from France and Germany, and many from training camps in this country, K. U. athletic teams next year should be able to clean up in the Missouri Valley and hold their own with any school in the middle west.
The Kansas football team next fah promises to be one of the greatest eleven in years. Captain "Stem" Foster, All-Valley quarterback, will be back for his last year of Missouri Valley football and should again be the peer of Valley field-generals. Foster is a good open field runner, an excellent punter and a bear on the defensive. Tom Pringle, star halfback and battering ram of the 1917 team, will be in school next fall. Pringle was the outstanding star on the Quartermaster O. T. C. eleven in Jacksonville, Fla., last fall, and will add a great deal of strength to the Jawhawker back-field.
There will be a wealth of other backfield material to choose from. Rook Woodward, now playing on the 35th Division eleven in France, may be back for a halfback position with the Jayhawkers. Frank Mandeville, a halfback in 1917, may be back, and John Bunn, halfback who scored one of the touchdowns against the Aggies last fall, will be out for his old position.
Loren Simon played good football at fullback last fall and will be in school for his last year next fall. Simon is one of the best defensive players on the team. Charley Heizer, a hard-plunging back of last fall, has two years to serve on McCook Field.
"Dutch" Lonborg, All-Valley end in 1917, will take care of one of the wing positions on the eleven, and it is probable that "Scrubby" Laslett, football and basketball captain-elect for this year, who is in France, will be back to play right end again. "Tad" Reid star end in 1916, who is playing on the 35th Division team in France, may be in school in time to play football next fall. George Nettels, all-valley tackle in 1917, and one of the scrapiest football players ever turned out at K. U., is in school now and will be back. Marxen, of last year's team, will also be out for tackle, and Ruble, of the 1916 team, now in France, may be in school. Pete Jones, star guard and tackle last fall, will also be eligible for the eleventh next fall. Warren Woody, guard in 1916 and 1917, will be on the Hill next fall and should be able to fill one of the holes in the center of the line. Vernson, a veteran guard, now in France, may return to K. U. Mott or Duff will probably take care of the center position, although a new man may beat them out. Several last fall freshmen will make a fight for regular positions on the Varsity.
One of the strongest indications of the return of athletics to their pre-war basis at K.U. next year is the fact that the Jayhawker coaching staff will be bolstered up by the return of "Potys" Clark, assistant football and freshman baseball coach in 1917, who is now in France, and McCarty, freshman football and varsity baseball coach, also in the service. It is also possible that Herman "Beau" Olcott, head coach in 1917 and new athletic director at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, will be back.
Basketball prospects are almost as bright as football. Only two men from this year's squad will graduate and this will take six men who have been playing together for at least one and in some cases two years. Matthews, center, and Mason, a guard, are the only 'K' men who will not be back. Captain-elect Lonborg at guard should be the class of the valley on the defensive next year and if Laslett returns, it will give K.U. a defense second to none in the middle west. Olson, a former Lawrence high school star and member of Coach Bond's freshman five this year, will be eligible for a regular guard position and will give some of the old men a hard fight. Harrison of the freshman also will be out. For center, there will be
Turner, former Kansas City Polytechnic star and freshman center this year. Frederick of the Varsity squad this year also will be in school for two more years of basketball.
There will be several old men back for the forward positions next year John Bunn was one of the best scorers in the valley this year and will return for another year, as will Howard Miller, his running mate at forward. Both of these men have played two years of basketball at K.U. Marvin Harms, who played part of the time for Coach Hamilton this year, has another year in school and Olin Fearing, one of the best forwards last year, probably will be back. If Leon Gibbens, the fastest floor man on the Jayhawker basketball teams in 1916 and 1917, is in school, he will round out what is likely to be a championship contender in Missouri Valley basketball circles. Gibbens is an officer in the service now, but was only a junior when he left and can play basketball and baseball for another year.
Honey Declares It Is All For Prohibition
"Hello. Honey, how is you?
"Ise all right, fine as silk." This is the greeting with which Honey College, the colored carteaker of McCook Field has students of K.U. for the last ten years.
"Yes, suh," he replied to an inquiry as to his name, "De gurls, they all call me Honey, but my real name is Charley Wilson.
Charley is a profound and pious thinker, and believes in letting everyone know what his opinions and beliefs are. He has an ever willing audience in the K.U. students and the athletes have always sworn by Honey, even as he was their most earnest supporter. From Genesis to Revelations, and is a worthy member of the colored Baptist church in Lawrence.
Honey was born in Alabama in 1842, which makes him seventy-seven years of age. After the Civil War, he spent several years in Alabama, married in the usual course of events, and lived in Kansas, where he has lived ever since.
Honey is an earnest advocate of prohibition, and is very pleased at the recent success of national prohibition. It is universally agreed that Honey's talks contain a great deal of common sense, and his quotations from "Shakespeare" are a favorite to all campus people.
New Graduate Magazine Has Article by Templin
Honey, according to himself, is a follower of Franklin's maxim, "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" but in his case, apparently, it has failed to make him more successful than that Honey has done all that this world has permitted in good works, to one of his position.
"A University of Universities for the Nation" by Dean Olin Templin is an interesting article in the March Graduate Magazine, that is just off the press. Prof. John Ise and Prof. E. Haworth have reviewed two new books, "The Newer Knowledge of Nutrition," and "Blocking New Wars," for the magazine, and there is a review of Willard Wattles' "Lanters in Gethsemane," by William H. Carruth, a former professor in the University
More than forty alumni magazines have consolidated for the purpose of securing national advertising and have formed "Alumni Magazines Associated," according to an article in the March Graduate Magazine.
