"A better variety of material to se

fore, gives a bright outlook for a good
basketball team this year," is how O.

Monday night. About twenty men
were out, including George Edwards,
captain, Taafe, Bernet, Groves and
Craig of last -year's varsity squad. Of
last year's freshman team, Shepard,
Stern, Palfreyman, Brodie, Hyde and
Larue are expected to show well.
I Shepard will not report for practice
until after the football season is over.
Assistant Coach Hackney will call
out the freshmen immediately after
the Kansas game. Shielman, Cleek.
Cornell, Woody, Wear and Davis have
shown up well in practice thus far.
The men trying out for the Varsity
will practice three or four, nights this,
week, and after next week practice-
will be held every day until the
Christmas holidays. Tall, lanky men
are needed. Mr. Field wants every

men sell their scrubs for about 15
cents a bushel to men with wagons.
We buy then directly from the wagon

Many Articles Returned to
Owners by Custodian of
Women's Parlors.
It is natural to suppose that the
3000 students in the University lose
and misplace many things. Most of
the missing articles belong to the
women students a silent appeal for
the return of a style which was com
mon years ago when most dresses, at
least those intended for general wear,
were provided with pockets, the size
of which was limited only by the
amount of material on hand.
All sorts of things are lost here,
including jewelry which ranges from
watches to handy pins, besides other
things. such as gloves, note-books,
text books, purses and fountain pens.
The owner of a lost article usually
advertises on the bulletin board in the
corridor of the woman's parlors. She
sometimes asks that it be taken to
her address or that she be notified by
telephone. In other cases she re
quests that it be left with the custo
dian of the parlors who conducts a
sort of lost and found bureau. Re
wards are offered sometimes. No
tices that arUcles have been found are
also posted on the bulletin. o;More
