Matthews Is Elected Basket Ball Captain In Laslett's Place
Jayhawks Improve Goal Shooting Before Contests With Missouri
Kelsey Matthews, veteran center on the Jayhawk basketball team, was elected Wednesday night to be captain of the quintet this year in the absence of Scrubby Laslett, who was elected captain after the close of the season last year. Laslett is now in France with the tank corps. Matthews won his letter at center last year and was a member of the varsity squad the year before. He also played freshman basketball.
The varsity again went through a hard scrimmage with the freshmen Wednesday night and the men are in shape for the Missouri series. The team will rest tonight and be ready for the opening of the Missouri Valley season at home Friday and Saturday.
The Jayhawkers are improving their goal shooting and with a fair share of the breaks in their favor, will give the Tigers a pair of real battles. In the Baker game last Friday, the breaks went against the Jayhawkers and several times when easy
goals were in sight, the ball hit the hoop, rolled around it and then fell out. Lonborg was especially unucky in this respect, Miller, who was not used in the Baker game, is one of the best goal shooters on the team and he will probably be used a part of the time against Missouri. Bunn, Lonborg and Harms are the other forwards.
Bennett and Mason, varsity guards, will have a real test in handling the Tiger forwards, as Ruhy is an All-Valley man of last year who showed especially good basketball against Kansas, and Scott, the other forward, is almost as strong on the offensive as the captain. The heaviest scorer on the Missouri team, however, is Vogt, the center who was a later scorer. Vort is a fair floor man and a deadly goal shooter, the records showing that he secrated fourteen field goals against Westminster college last week.
The Tiger guards are new men and if the scoring end of the Kansas five works in form, the Missouri defense is likely to have trouble. Kansas plays a combination of the long and short passing game while the Tigers use mostly short passes, and the contexts promise to be hard fights from start to finish.

All members of the Students' Army Training Corps who continued in college without interruption and all students who entered the service or engaged in war work will be eligible for competition in intercollegiate athletic contests this year.
Recommendations to this effect were adopted by the executive committee of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America. These will be presented to the annual convention of that organization, which will be held at the Columbia University Club March 1.
two stipulations were made, however, one of which was that the men discharged prior to that date should have reported back to their universities by January 6, and the other to April 1, so that they would back in college within three weeks after their discharge or resignation, but not later than April 1.
