JAYHAWK TRAVELERS
GINCH CHAMPIONSHIP
Take. Two Contests From the Tigers at Columbia, Missouri
By Staff Correspondent
Columbia, Feb. 22.-By winning the game tonight Kansas successfully established herself as champion of the southern division of the Missouri valley conference. To maintain her present position as champion of the whole section she must now defeat the northern leader, Nebraska.
Kansas played in fine form in both games here and could not be held back by the desperate efforts of the Titers.
Kansas was greatly aided by the fact that there were two officials on the floor making rough play on the part of their heavy opponents impossible.
From here the Kansas five will go to St. Louis where they will meet Washington University in two game. The Jayhawkers have already defeated this team in two games on the Lawrence court.
This makes the record of Tiger-Jayhawker games in the past four years stand seventeen to one in favor of the latter.
Wednesday Night's Game
Kansas slipped their third straight basket-ball defeat over the Tigers Wednesday night when Hamilton's men won the most interesting game of the season from Field's proteges to the tune of 39 to 24.
The light Kansas five played past their heavier opponents at all stages of the game and from the time that Smith slipped the ball into the basket for the first count of the game Kansas was in the lead. The Kansas guards would take the ball on long dribbles down the floor, pass to the forward and there would be another score for the Red and Blue
In the first half the visiting Jay-
hawkers ran away from the home
toissers piling up a score of 22 while
the Tigers were amassing 8 points.
In the second half the Tigers appeared to better advantage and scored point for point with the Jayhawker quint.
For Kansas "Red" Brown was the particular star of the game; his shots for goals seldom failed to negotiate scores for the Red and Blue and his guarding kept his formidable opponent Edwards helpless.
The play of the Kansas team was particularly free from fouling while the Missourians were penalized 14 times. Snodgrass was removed from the game for fouls.
Captain Parker of Missouri was injured in the second half and forced to quit the game.

Thursday Night's Game
Missouri fought hard in their last chance at the Kansas basket-ball team tonight but lost 26 to 32 after a desperate battle. The Jayhawkers as is their custom jumped into the lead in the first half overtaking a four point lead that the Tigers had gained in their feverish efforts of the first few minutes. The half ended 12 to 8 with the Jayhawks on the long end.
The Tigers opened the second half with the determination to do or die and soon caught their western rivals. Tiger habits of rough play cost them their chance however and from then on Kansas scored at will
Captain Stuckey and Star-sired for Kansas while Captain Parker did the best work for Missouri. The Tiger he led won the first half because of injuries to his ankle received in the game last night.

Score
Mineapolis Reds Cleaned College Boys by a 36 to 17
By Walter Hake (Special Correspondent)
Minneapolis, February 28 —The Minneapolis Athletic Club basketball five defeated the College team of the University of Kansas here tonight by a score of 17 to 36.
The Minneapolis Reds started out with a rush and had counted 19 points by the end of the half. The K. U. team lacking work and handicapped by the small court were at the mercy of the Reds scoring but 4 points.
Crawford starred for Kansas and Woodard and Whitaker did the superior work for the Red team Woody played the same worrying game that K. U. students know so well and to his tactics was largely due the lead gained by the Reds in the first half.
In the second half the Kansas team showed improvement and held the Reds to an even score. Minneapolis people were pleased by the clean playing of the Kansas five.

He thinks that the excellent climate will soon benefit him, and he will live in the open air until he regains his strength.
