KU Stalls To Win From Bears 43-39
Kansas' 13-point scoring drive in the first five minutes of the second half spelled the difference as the Jayhawkers defeated Washington 43 to 39 Saturday at Hoch auditorium before about 2,000 persons.
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's club stretched its one-point halftime edge into a 33 to 23 score during that period of hot scoring. The Jayhawkers
maining 15 minutes, but made six of nine free throws to stave off the Washington rally led by Dave Pearce and Jack Barber. Kansas took its last four free chances out of bounds and stalled to hold their lead in the last two minutes.
Pearce's long range shooting kept the Missourians in the game. He hit nine of 16 shots for 18 points to lead the scoring, Jack Barker, tall Bear center, scored 11 points, nine of them in the second half.
Gene Petersen led Kansas with 11 points, while Claude Houchin was next with nine, all in the second half. Sophomore Buddy Bull sparked the Jayhawkers late in the first half and scored six points, as did Maurice Martin and Bill Sapp.

The score was tied five times in the first ten minutes before Martin's tip-in gave K.U. a 13 to 11 edge with nine minutes left, Washington spurted into a 17 to 13 lead in the next five minutes which saw K.U. shooting wild and losing the rebounds.
Then Bill Sapp hit two jump shots from the corner, Petersen made a goal, and Bull a free throw, as Kansas moved ahead, 20 to 19 at half-time.
Houchin, Sapp, Bull, and Petersen all connected in the first minute and 45 seconds of the second half. Barker and Pearce hit to make it 28 to 23, but Bull made a long shot and Houchin a free throw. Houchin intercepted the ball and blasted in for a set-up and a 33 to 23 count at the five minute mark.
Waugh threw in a long one-hander a minute and a half later, but Pearce was deadly on his long set shots as Washington pulled up, 36 to 33, half way in the period. Kansas played cautiously the rest of the way, controlling the ball and making their free throws count.
Petersen, Waugh, Martin, and Houchin scored from the free throw stripe, while Pearce and Barker added goals to keep the visitors only three points behind with 7:20 left. Three minutes later Louchin made a tip-in. He added a free throw before Pearce swished in another. Kansas controlled the ball the remaining two and a half minutes.
The Jayhawkers played one of their better games of the season as they repeated an earlier win over the Bears and brought their season non-conference record to nine victories in 12 starts. They have won all five non-league home contests.
It was the ninth defeat in 18 games for Coach Blair Gullion's team. Kansas now has won 12 of 20 for the entire season, the third best full-season record in the Big Seven. K.U. leads the loop in the non-conference standings.
Both teams threw in the same number of field goals, but the visitors committed ten more fouls and K.U. cashed in. Shooting marks were good for both clubs, Kansas hitting 30 per cent and the Bears 33.

Big 7 Lead To Nebraska
By UNITED PRESS
Nebraska's battling Huskers were back on top again in the Big Seven basketball race, after a brief spell in second place last week. They face two tests this week.
Nebraska (6-1) regained first place during the weekend when the Oklahoma Sooners were dusted off for the second time this season by Kansas State. While Oklahoma was losing at Manhattan, Nebraska was sacking up Iowa State (1-8), which may never again have as bad a season as this one.
Missouri shaded Colorado, 49 to 48, at Boulder to take full charge of third place behind Oklahoma (6-2). The loss left Colorado (3-5) tied with Kansas (3-5) for fifth place. Iowa State, of course, remained deep in the cellar, while Kansas State held onto fourth position.
Nebraska will meet unpredictable Missouri tonight at Lincoln and mix with Colorado next Saturday night at Boulder. Missouri's second game of the week will be a tough one against Oklahoma at Columbia next Saturday.
Oklahoma's other appearance this week will come off Wednesday night at Stillwater when the Sooners meet Oklahoma A. and M. (17-3), one of the nation's best but a loser to Oklahoma the last time the Cowpokes met the Sooners.
Still another game this week will match Kansas and Kansas State in a mortal engagement at Manhattan.
Palmer Best Bet In Rio Tournament
Houston, Texas, Feb. 21—(U.P.)-Happy John Palmer, Badin, N.C., tourist on golfdom's winter trail, today was hailed as the best bet in the Rio Grande Valley open, a $10,000 tournament that begins in Harlingen, Texas, next Thursday.
Palmer jumped into the favorite's role yesterday immediately after he slashed through the muddy Fine Forest country club course to post a 72-hole total of 272 that was good enough to win the $10,000 Houston open.
Playing a steady game that was never sensational, Palmer fired a 33-34-67, five under par, to finish a stroke ahead of Dr. Cary Middlecoff, the Memphis dentist.
Jim Turnesa, Briar Cliff, N. Y.
finished third yesterday with a 274,
coming in with a 69 on the last
round.
Palmer pocketed the $2,000 first prize money.
Slammin' Sam Snead sank seven birdies for a 66 and a tournament total of 281.
Mangrum could salvage some satisfaction from his very recent performance. The $415 that he earned brought his season total to $6,170, and established him as the circuit's leading money winner.
He finished ahead of Lloyd Mar-
gum of Niles, Ill., a pre-tourney
'avoirite.

CIC Crown Is Goal Of Emporia State
There appeared to be no way to head off Emporia State in the C.I.C. basketball race today.
By UNITED PRESS
Rockhurst (0-10) will try tonight and Pittsburg State (5-5) will mix with the pace-setting Emporians (9-0) Friday night in conference games.
Emporia blasted St. Benedict (6-4) second-place Ravens at Atchison during the weekend, 72 to 59, with Francis Markham leading the way with 25 points. But it wasn't as bad as the first meeting this season when St. Benedict's fell, 46 to 91.
Tom Carlson, Washburn University star, got 26 points but couldn't get his team past Fort Hays, which won, 66 to 58. The win moved Fort Hays (5-4) into third place, ahead of Washburn (5-5).

Several muskrat trappers reported finding them in their traps and Dr. Arthur B. Williams, director of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, identified the animal.
