U. ‘ Saturday COACH lNVADES ALMA MATER (Picture on back page) Tomorrow and Saturday our crafty Krafitsmen will take action in two . cage conflicts; one in Naperville and the other in our windy city. The Set- urday game will be played against Nolthwestern University at the Mc~ Kinlock Campus at 122ml Field Ar- . tillery at 2 :30 P. M. Kraffl: ls Personally Involved Of all the games that are sched- uled this season, none perhaps will be of a more personal concern to Coach Krafi't than the impending game with Naperville College which will take place on the Napervillc floor tomorrow evening. Alumnus v13. Alum Mater Coach Krafi‘t places a peculiar value on winning that game and the motive of his desires can be explained by the fact that Naperville has in its shelf a record indicating that Mr. W, C. Krafft is an alumnus of that school. This being the case our men— tor will naturally be bent on making a little impression on his alma-matcr and nothing could be more decisive than a win over that school. Naporville, like many of the other schools, has been given space on Krai‘ft’s vengeance list and tomor— row’s conflict will determine wheth- er they are recorded in black or red ink. Odds Against Armour Judging from the season’s record Iof’th‘e two teams,.tl1ere is but little doubt that Naperville stands out as the most prestiged. They have vic— ' cries over Hope College of Michigan and Aurora College, and have sev— eral of last year’s performers in their line-up to carry them through for more victories. Yet since they have not faced Armour before gaining this distinction, they’ll be obliged to limit themselves to a few whispers when it comes to talking about the acquiremeut of more prestige after Friday’s engagement. Armour Pruspers by Fast Experience Armour’s first two contests bore but little fruit, but the fruit that did spring forth was knowledge. That knowledge then was utilized to an advantage in the Chicago Normal game. Although the cagemen dropped that encounter they had annexed more knowledge plus expelll—‘cnce. Slowly they are breaking- down the barrier that; kept them from winning games and a change of results is ex— pected to occur as a result of their consistent strife. One thing, perhaps that can be at- tributed to Armour's inauspicious start is the fact that they've merely sought to win a game rather than to develop a sense of greediness to win. Indications point out that they have adopted this sense of avaricious ness and all that 15 necessary now is a few point collecting devices. Kraft} in Need of Keen—Eyed Gag-era This matter of collecting points has been quite problematical and Krafit’s only solution is that two of his cagemen must develop more skill in the art of basket shooting- or he must set out and find a duet that al— ready are well inclined in that line of work. The Chicago Normal game gave every indication of this necessity when the local outfit was nosed out after establishing a seven point lead. Armour’s Ablent Five to Start From time to time different pla'y— ers took the stand on the hardwood, but among Krafit's choicest selec— tion is Augustine and Main: at the guard positions, Tell at center, and Simpson and Carlson at forwards.

No doubt but what the nine games will all be closely contested and the margin of difference in any single game should not surpass the one figure mark.
