Jayhawks Defeat Clippers 41-26 For Ninth Victory
Kansas defeated the Olathe N.A.S. Clippers 41 to 26 last night for the Jayhawker's ninth victory this season against three defeats. Kansas led 21 to 12 at the half and the outcome was never very much in doubt.
Charles Moffett led the Jayhawkers with 15 points, followed by Gordon Reynolds with 8, and Kirk Scott who scored 6. Walter Herkal led the Clippers with 10 points.
Many Miscues Made by Both Fives
The game was slow and erratically played, both teams committing numerous passing and ball-handling mistakes. Double dribbles, steps, and travelling were frequently called by the officials. Long passes and decays were used to advantage by the Clippers several times for easy setups.
The Clippers led 8 to 6 midway in the first half, but fell behind as Moffett and Scott hit to bring the score to 16 to 8 in the Jayhawkers' favor. Olathe made a couple of setups and the halftime score was 21 to 12.
Kansas Runs Up Score Near the End
Kansas Runs Up Score Near the End Only eight points were scored by both teams during the first 10 minutes of the second half, as both teams were cold. Leading by a 27 to 17 at the 11-minute mark, the Jayhawkers suddenly came to life and looked more like a Big Six leader. Moffett, Reynolds, Herb Heim, Gus Daum, and Norman Carlson all scored to give the winners a comfortable 41 to 19 lead. With five minutes to go Dr. Allen sent in the second five, and with two minutes of playing time remaining, he sent in the third stringers.
Olathe scored five more points during this period of substitution to reach the final score of 41 to 26. Jayhawkers Play Nebraska Saturday

DG Beats IWW To Be Champs
The Delta- Gamma's are the all University women's intramural basketball championships since they defeated the I.W.W.'s last night 57 to 30 in Robinson gymnasium.
Ruth Payne, star forward, of the DG team, scored 30 points last night against the L.WW. defense. This is not the highest number of individual points that she has been able to run in a single game however. She scored 35 points against the A.D.Pi's with two guards on her most of the time. Lavone Jacobson, LWW. forward, led the scoring for her team with 18 points.
The halftime score 29 to 18 gave the Delta Gamma's a 9 point advantage and during the last half they widened this margin even more. Zimmerman, Riemer, and Jacobson played an outstanding ball game for the losing I.W.W. team, while Marks, Payne, and the two Bixys played their best game of the season.

Sportorials BY JIM MORDY

To the students who left them books home long enough to attend the game last night came the realization that the Jayhawkers have really improved since last December. The improvement has been so gradual that most observers have missed it.
Last night the team reverted back to its December form and everyone noticed it immediately. The pressure had been on the Jayhawkers for so long that when it was taken off they lost their finesse and polish which they have had in the conference games.
The best thing in the world for them was to play the non-conference game with the Clippers last night. Dr. Allen and several members of the team had been wondering just how long they could continue the terrific pace they had been setting. Now that the pressure has has been relieved they can get back into the second half of the conference merry-go-round with all guns blazing.
Clipper Game Was Fine Idea
By a week from Sunday several interesting conference games will

have been played. Games between the top four teams include Kansas-Oklahma, Kansas-Kansas State, Oklahoma-Iowa State. Want to pick the winners of these four close games? By doing so one almost picks the final standings of the conference, because there won't be many more games after that.
Pressure Is on the Sooners
Just for fun how about Kansas, Kansas, Kansas State, and Iowa State to win the above four games in the order named. Of course this is predicting Oklahoma to lose all three of their games, and the league-leading Sooners should win one. However the pressure is on the Sooners, and individually each one of the three has the edge on them.
