UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS
FEBRUARY 24.19
The Jayhawkers picked the one game where they were farthest from home to play their best ball game of the year Saturday. It seemed that Kansas couldn't do anything wrong and that the Demons were outclassed from the very beginning.
By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
For a while in the first half, the fans expected to see a battle as the Blue Demons matched Kansas goal for goal, but when big Otto Schnellbacher unlimbered his shooting arm, it was all over for the home team.
The fans, a home Northwest-tern and DePaul crowd were a little partisan toward the Demons at the start of the contest, but the fiery play of the Kansas squad, coupled with the shrill voice of signal-caller Owen Peck, won more and more fans of the capacity crowd to the Kansas side of the
fence.
There come some times in every game when there is almost no noise in the stadium, when even a crowd of 22,500 is silent for a few seconds.
At one of these times, as Kansas started to set, up a play, the "voice of the canon" reached into the upstairs hallway and gave a wiping. "AP-O, let's cut!"
Coach Howard Engleman shared the lime-light for a few brief seconds as he was introduced before he began his big ovation from the Chicago fans.
Peck's slick ball-handling and "spark-plug" play, as well as his far-reaching voice, endeared the diminutive quarterback to the fans.
The Blue Demons were totally unprepared for the .Kansas fast-break style of basketball. The Chicago Sun, in its pre-game story, stated that the Demons were expected to roll easily against the "slow, deliberate style" of the Jayhawkers.
The erroneous theory evidently carried over to the fans and to the Blue Demons themselves, for they just didn't know what to do about it.
The Kansas fast break was aided by the terrific defensive rebounding of Charlie Black and Ray Evans, and when they came down with the ball. Wendell Clark was always waiting in the right place for the ball to give it a good start down the court.

CLARK
If Black a n d Evans s weren't there to get the ball, or if there was a chance it might not come out of the mixup, then Clark went in to get it himself. When Depaul started dressing on defense all the way down court early in the second half, it was Clark and Evans who managed to get it
over the center line where Peck, Black, and Schnellbacher could whip it around the bewildered defense
Knowing the bewildered defense.
The prevailing sentiment through the crowd was the question, "Why isn't Kansas ahead in the Big Six? They look better than Missouri and Oklahoma."

Illinois had one chance to stay in the Big Nine race, that being a victory over Northwestern coupled by a Wisconsin loss to Ohio State.
If the Jayhawkers play tonight the way they did in Chicago, we predict a 10-point victory over the Aggies. Remember that "toughest series" in football? The first one lost and the next two won. Maybe we're in for a repetition.
K.U. Latin Americans Form Cage Team
The Latin American basketball team, a group of Latin American students attending the University who have formed the team for their own amusement, recently beat Missouri's Latin American team 44-28, at Columbia.
The team will play the Latin American team from Kansas State College at Manhattan soon. The date has not been set because, due to the fact that they are not officially sponsored by the University, the players must wait until a time when they are all free to go and a court is available at Kansas State.
The Latin American students have also formed a soccer team and are ooking for games with other soccer teams of the University. Any team wishing to play them should contact Bolivar L. Marquez, a junior in the College of Engineering.
