Basket Ball Practice Held Up By Dances In Robinson Gymnasium
Winning Five Impossible Under Circumstances, Hamilton— Schedule Arranged Soon
The basket ball team has been handicapped by the use of the gymnastium for conventions, meetings and dances and has been unable to get the necessary practice to put out a winning five. The men will not get down to real work this week as there will be three dances at the gym. The Peace concert held up practice Monday night. Preparing the floor for dancing makes it impossible to hold a snappy practice, according to W. O. Hamilton, director of athletics.
Coach Hamilton will go to Kansas City to attend the meeting of the Valley coaches, Friday, and to arrange the schedule for the Kansans for the coming season. It is probable that games will be scheduled with Nebraska, Washington, Manhattan Missouri and Ames. The Kansas manager may schedule some preliminary games with teams in the Kansas conference.
"The first year men probably will be used on the teams in the Valley this season with the end of the S. A. T. C even though it has not been the custom in years past. The schools need the first year men more than ever now that the army will go as many of the men will leave school and no new men will return to fill their places. We will, even have a smaller number to choose from than formerly," said Coach Hamilton last night.
Matthews is taking charge of the men at present and will work with them when possible. Bunn is out for the five now. These two men will put the Kansas team in the running and the team will be built around them. Slonker is a good man and may be used at center. Turner is showing up well. He played with Poly Tech in Kansas City last season. Young, a Normal football man last year is out for the five and will probably make the team. He has a place on the sound cinched.
The men will be able to get down to hard work after the holidays.
Athletic Manager Must Be Consummate Diplomat
The advance agent of a big circus should obtain his preliminary training as an athletic manager. No other position, we are sure, teaches a person how to tactfully meet the demand for complimentary tickets for all the big games.
Every ward politician, regardless of his strength, considers his position one that unquestionably entitles him to a pass. All of the "big guns" or those who consider themselves as such, become greatly interested in the sport providing the temporary hobby does not require financial outlay.
But newspaper men are the greatest violators. Of course, this can be expected, as those whose prosperity depends upon the public fancy are usually poorly paid. The telegraph operators, always early on the ground clicking their impersonations with great force to instil the fact that they must usually work, seem surprised when the ticket-taker disagrees with them.
Every reporter who has ever written sport is sure to be present, as well as a representative from every paper within a hundred miles with no more valid excuses for admission than that their papers have always supported and advertised the contending teams.
To be a good athletic manager and not make enemies is an impossibility. To hold the number of "compus" to a minimum--that's super-impossible. Just ask William Omar about that!
A group picture of the 2918 football team will be taken at McCook Field at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon. Everyone must be present.
W. O. HAMILTON.
