LIFE Purple Basket Team Opens Season Monday i1·i Tilt With Cornell Northwestern university cagers will open their season Monday evening at the gym against Cornell college and wi ll offer their first demonstration ~s to how good they are going to be ~his year. Coach Arthur Lonborg has three big holes in his old team to fill because of the graduation of Capt. Hal Gleichinan, forward, Harotd Schultz, · lanky back guard, and Frank Marshall, who has left !ichool because of ineligibility. Several promising sophomores are putting in their bids for the jobs, and in addition Coach Lonborg has a good bunch of substitutes from last. year to call on. Capt. Rut Walter, a leading center in the Big Ten for two years and one of the highest scoring players, tops the list of lettermen available. Rus Bergherm, who developed into a fine center after Walter's injury last winter, Bert Riel, ferward; Johnn y Haas and Merrill M und~·. guards, are the other lettermen back. From Last Year's Squad The survivors from last year's squad include a quartet of non-lettermen wh.:> are strong candidates for positions on the new quintet. John \Vhalen, Lee Hanley and Joe Schwartz are bidding for forward jobs, and Bus Smith is a guard candidate. Of the sophomore players, at least three are ftrst class material whic~ will probably win regular berths. A coup le of Hoosiers, Bob \f cCarnes and Bob Lockhart, are taking- notice and are playing up to the standards expectecl of any eager from their state. McCarnes ha s been suffering from a lame ankle recently and may not be ready to play Monday, but is being gro omed to take Schwartz's guard Bob Ia Three-Sport Man . Bob H_ails is the third of the trio of outstandmg sophomores. He came from Celit~alia, ~hich has produced some of thts states finest prep quintets and ~s a fr_osh was a three-sport rna~. He IS playtng a forward position. Other sophomores are: guardsRalph_ Eylar, Lee Davis and Dallas ~arvtl; forwards-Frank Forss, Ellr<;>tt Pratt, John Gar dis and Conrad Ltppert. One of the combinations used most by Coach Lonborg in practice has Riel switched from forward to guard, McCarnes at the back guard position, Walter and Bergherm alternating at center and forward, and Lockhart at the other forward ~ost. Since Lon borg's arrival two years a(7o the Purple has finished in the fi~st division of the Big Ten both times but there will probably be a harder' row for the new quintet to hoe this year. They will meet Pittsburgh Dec. 14; Notre Dame at South Bend, Dec. 19 and Notre Dame here, Dec. 31. The conference schedule will be drawn up tomorrow. Short Play Gives Idea of Work of League of Voters By P.H. The Kenilworth League of Women Voters held a meeting on Tuesday morning of this week at the Ketul\vorth Assembly hall and presented a very enjoyable program. Six of lhe members gave a very charming interpretation of a one-act play written by .Miss Edith Rockwood and Miss Emily Taft entitled, "A Grand Slam." This little play was written for league purposes and gives · a very fair idea of t:1e work being done by this organization in a most attractive way. The characters are playing at bridge when one of their friends and neighbors, who is vitally interested in the work of the League of Women Voters, comes in and in the course of the conversation converts each woman there to the cause and the y call it a "graad Slam" for the League of Women Voters. Those taking part in the play were Mrs. \Villiam Taylor, Mrs. Ward Starrett. Mrs. Kelsev Saunders, Mrs. Julius Peterson, Mrs ~ Herbert \Villett. Jr., and Mrs . Roger Behan. The play was coached bv Mrs. James M urra~·. Miss Rockwood then gave a detailed account of the plan of work outlined for the National ancl State Leagues f1 1r 1930. She came to Kenilworth with a reputation of being a very clear and forceful speaker and her audience r)n Tuesclav wa s not disappointed. Mrs. B. G. McCloud furnished a <!~ li cious lun cheon at the close of the program. Olh·cr Barrett, o23 Abbottsford road.
