Shawnee High Loses Title; Lions Defeated
Losing to Columbus 27-26, Shawnee-Mission, state champion for 1943 and 1944, made way for a new title holder in the class AA semi-finals last night at Wyandotte in Kansas City. Two free throws in the final minutes of the game put Columbus out in front. Shawnee-Mission, working hard to reduce the Columbia half-time advantage of 18-11, evened the score at 21 in the third period but failed to gain a margin.
The Lawrence Lions lost to Chanute. 36-28, tariling the victors all the way. Halftime score was 13-11.
Topeka defeated Coffeyville 32-25 in a comeback after being on the short end at the half, 15-13. The Trojans started strong, slumped, and then finished strong with 12 counters in the last quarter.
In the nightcap, Wyandotte defeated Pittsburg 42-35.
