U - Number Of Aspirants For 1924 Bas-' ketball Team Reduced To 21 As Opening Of Season Approaches MEN START REAL PREPARATION FOR CINCINNATI GAME DEC. 21.1 Coach Mather made another cut in his basketball squad last night, reduc- ing the number of men, left to 21 and will begin actual preparation for the Christmas trip at once. Less than two weeks remain before the opening of the season with the University of Cincinnati, at Cincin- nati, on Dec. 21, and Coach Mather I will work his men this week with that game in view. Leaving Cincinnati, the team will move on to Louisville, Kentucky, where they will engage the Louisville Y. M. H. A. five on Dec. 22. TheI players will return to their homes after this game, and report again with, the tesuming of school after the holi- day period. Nine men will make the two game trip. . The first contest after the opening of school will be with the Notre Dame quintet, on Jan. 6, at South Bend, Illinois will be met here in the first Conference game of the season, on Jan. 14. George Haggerty, last season's speedy forward, will hold down one of the forward jobs, with Henderson,, a substitute last year, probably pair- ing with Haggerty. Cherry, of 'last year's Freshman team, is pressing Henderson for his berth. McWood, substitute center last sea- son, and Emery, another sub, are battling it out for the pivot position with the former having the edge at i present. Doyle, big sophomore guard and center, is also a likely man for this position. Captain Birks, and Kipke, who re- ported for the first time last night, will hold down the two guard posi- tions, with Landre, Deng and Martin AG rp iof mpm Ta f Baurn Pa.- kira.

And yet, the Ameri- can league pitching averages, just issued, show that two of the pitchers led the league in individual perform- ances. Stanley Coveleskie, hero of the 1920 world's series, was the only slant artist in the league to turn in an av- erage of less than three earned runs a game. And George Uhle, home pro- duct and veteran in service but not in years, turned in 26 victories, topping the league in this respect. fi x 4 i: -c.>..".'+. _________________________________ ythical eleven. e other linemen who de- able mention are. .man of Yale, Supplee of tout of Prihceton.

Sampson again displayed his ability in the next event, the 220 yard free style, placing second to W. Kerr, BetaI Theta Pi, who was caught at 3.09. Getting away to a two yard lead in the 40 yard back stroke, W. Kerr was Ieasily the best seen in the water, com- ing home in 26.2 seconds. Second place resulted in a close finish be- tween Wittingham, Theta Chi, and K. -IKerr, Beta Theta Pi, both of whom were several seconds behind the best Itime. In the 100 yard free style Sampson, t Phi Kappa Sigma, bested Gow, Beta Theta Pi by a margin of 2 1-5 seconds, butt the latter was not forced to ex- tend himself in his heat and better time will be expected of him when - these close rivals meet tomorrow af- ternoon in the finals. | Yerkes, Delta Upsilon, practically i cinched first place in the plunge in his first attempt, making 56 feet, 6 inches, before he was forced to quit. His nearest rivals in the finals will be Haidle, Alpha Chi Rho, and Siedman, I Kappa Nu, who are about on a par. For the second Wittingham, Theta Chi, won the 60 yard back stroke, making the distance five seconds fast- er than nearest opponent. On the basis of the results of the preliminaries it is almost safe to say that Beta Theta Pi will be a winner for the third time, although Phi Kap- pa Sigma and Theta Chi may cut their lead in some of the events, as Sampson of the former is about equal to Gow in the events in which they are scheduled to meet and Wittingham 'is certain of one first place. Although not showing so well in the meet yes- terday afternoon, close competition from Delta Upsilon can be expected as they still have Seagears, the frat- ernity fancy diving champion, who will be good for five markers. In the relay Beta Theta Pi should have no trouble in garnering the initial place. The following men will report for the finals at 3 o'clock tomorrow after- noon: 40 yard free style, W. Kerr, Gow, .
