LISTMENTS
Chicago, Jan. 3.-Although the war
will undoubtedly affect the playing
N strength of "some of the teams, the
"Big Ten" championship basketball
li season will get under way on Jan. 5,
with every indication of producing as
interesting a race as the 1917 football
season.
The return of the University of
es Michigan to the Western Conference
has added a new interest to the wint-
be er sport. The Wolverines will clash
with practically all of the conference
fives. The Northwestern-Wisconsin
t game to be played at Evanston, will
at be the opening contest of the season.
From then until March 13, when Wis-
a- consin meets Purdue at Lafayette, the
race for the championship will be in
of full swing.
Est sIllinois Loses Stars
Enlistments and graduations have
wreckedthe championship teams of
Ore Illinois and Minnesota which tied for
the title last season. Nearly every
ho coach in the conference, in fact, faces
zs the task of building a new machine.
Purdue, however, appears to have been
the most fortunate of all "Big Ten"
ng schools. Practically every member of
last season's team will be in the line-
h up and critics believe the Boilermak-
ers have the edge on the champion-
-ship.

ed will be without the services of Dr.
sr Meaningwel, long a prominent figure in
western conference basketball, who
