UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
JANUARY 2, 1919.
Valley Baseball Missouri Arranged Has Not Bee Back Although Men Ai
Kansas has made no preparations for a baseball season and none of the other schools of the Missouri Valley have mentioned the sport. The athletic schedule for most of the schools of the valley were drawn up in the spring meeting in Kansas City and basketball was not mentioned. In spite of the fact that many players are back in school from training camps, the universities have not taken steps to revive baseball.
Kansas Could Start Work With Seventeen Old Players and Wedell, Freshman Coach
Baseball in the Missouri Valley almost died out last spring. Ames, Missouri and Kansas were the only universities who put nines in the field last season and the games were scheduled in series of three to cut down transportation expenses. The bad weather caused most of the games to be cancelled and no team won enough games to be declared Valley Champions.
"We have not heard of any baseball teams in the Valley and as the sport is usually a big loser it will probably die this spring," said W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics at K. U.
John Bunn of Humboldt, catcher is back. Charles Slawson, the only winning twirler in the Varsity last spring is in school, and Marvin Harm of Wichita, Willard Pierce of Kansas City, and Clyde Marxen of the first year mound staff are back and all are good ossers. Henry Cherry, the carrot-topped first sacket on last year's nine, dined in a training camp this winter. Harms could be used at first. Basil Church of Lawrence is a fair first sacket and will be discharged from the army this month. Isenberger, last year's second sacker is on the Hill. Stem Foster of Kansas City and Dutch Longbord of Holton, short stop and third sacker, are here. Kansas would have a battery and infield hard to beat if the game is revived.
Wardy Woltmier, Frank Oyster,
Judkins, Lashey, Palmer, MacLeod,
Red Desmond and John Haack are
good players who will be eligible for
the Varsity baseball team this season.
Hugo Wedell, who coached the first
year men last season will be discharged from Ft. Riley soon and will be back at his Y. M. C. A. work here.
Wedell is a good player and a good
coach.

Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are in the unique position of not having any football captain for next fall. Harvard had one this fall, but under normal conditions he would not be eligible even to play on the Crimson eleven of 1919, as he is a graduate of Darmouth and a member of the Students Army Training Corps, which has gone out of existence. So far as is known, the captains elected by
these universities for the season of 1917 will be eligible for their teams next fall and possibly they will assume their duties on the gridron. After doing active service in the United States Army or Navy for more than a year, it has been suggested they should be allowed to lead
varsity teams if they return to then lives before the next football their colse season.
E. C. Quigley, t. he National League umpire, has been so successful coaching the St Louis Un'verity football eleven this fall that he has been reengaged for next year.
The University of Missouri experienced considerable difficulty in the preliminary work of building up a
Plymouth Jottings
It is a new deal this term. How about it? Are you going to church on Sunday? If not, why not? Is the church a back number? If so, what do you propose to substitute for it? Have you investigated the Lawrence churches? Better do it.
Prof. McKeever speaks at Plymouth Sunday evening, "Man and the New Democracy," will be his subject. You will be cordially welcome.
Sunday morning I plan to speak on "Behold, I make all things new." This will be a study of the divine energy that underlies all progress. These are momentous days for civilization. Are you thinking of history from the religious standpoint?
Do you feel the remotest interest in missions? Have you ever considered the bare possibility of being a missionary? Would you like to keep in touch with the missionary movement? If so, Dr. Braden's hospitable home swings wide its doors to you every Wednesday evening at six. Dr. Braden is worth knowing. Part of a university education is to know its significant personalities. Dr. Braden is one of the significant personalities on K. U. Hill. Nuff sed.
Have you any leannings toward the ministry? Are you willing to consider it as a life work? Here again Dr. Braden opens his home to you. This time on Monday evenings. Your host will not try to denominationalize you. If he would, I wouldn't be giving his splendid work this free publicity. Dr. Braden is first of all a loyal servant of his Master. Any young man headding toward the ministry will not be defected from the denomination of his choice by contact with Dr. Braden. He will be strengthened in his determination to make his life count for Christianity. That is the fine spirit that pervades all our religious work on K. U. Hill.
Yours very cordially,
ROSS W. SANDERSON,
Pastor of Plymouth.
