Captain-elect Dancy is now playing with the Kansas City Blues, but he may return to school next fall. If at that time we are not members of any conference he will probably lead his team, as the Kansas teams with whom we would have games do not discountenance the playing of summer ball. ln any case, the Missouri champions will be ready to defend their title.

U .. . . -...,,a:...- a Zgasket 385111 of Warrensburg supporters about the chances of the football team, there wasnot the slightest question but that we would have a winning basket ball team. Doctor Allen .has turned out successful basket ball teams for so many years now that every one takes it for granted that everything will come his way in that sport. 'TI F there was some pre-season doubt in the minds Moreover, the school was already well acquainted with the excellent work of the players who composed the first string of the squad. Owing to the fact that Ray Sermon was coaching in Wentworth Military Academy, the team was without a captain for some time. On january 8, Guy Rudd, the only old letter man on the squad, was unanimously elected captain. Although Rudd is so light as toibe at a disadvantage, in' practically every game he played hard, fast ball, and led his team through a very successful season. Since the Normal was not a member of any organized conference they cannot, perhaps, claim the championship of anything. But there can be no doubt but that, had we been in any association of schools of our own class, we should have had a pretty good chance for the pennant. The team won every game played on the home court. It held Kansas University to a score of 46 to 20 on its own floor--and Kansas had the best team in this part of the country. We beat Baker Uni- versity in two games, won two and lost two from Kansas Normal with a total score for all four games of IZ7 to I I I in our favor. These three teams, probably the fastest trio in Kansas, form a pretty good basis for comparison. GUY Rudd' Capt' ,I5 We gave the University champions a good run for their money, and may fairly be said to have a good claim to the championship of Kansas. Looking at the season from the point of view of the defeats sustained, we Hnd the following facts: Kansas University was entirely out of the class of any Normal school or college. The Kansas Normal team were giants compared to our boys, and played a hard, rough game when on their own ground that could not but wear down the strength of the Warrensburg team, who had just played four very hard games with Baker and Kansas Normal at Warrensbux'g. The game lost to Haskell on their floor could not be taken as a norm of the strength of the team, owing to the adverse playing conditions. The Haskell floor is so broken by pillars that it is almost impossible for a visiting team to become accustomed to shooting baskets from behind a pillar before the agile Indians have piled up a hopeless lead.
