Jayhawks Trip Blues; Rockhurst Next Foe
After stepping into the victory column for the first time this season by virtue of a 31-27 victory over the Washburn Blues in Hoch auditorium Friday night, the rapidly improving Kansas Jayhawks will journey to Kansas City tomorrow to open the Rockhurst Hawks' 1944-45 cage season.
The narrow margin of triumph over the Ichabods last Friday indicates that the Crimson and Blue will be in for a tough battle tomorrow evening, though the Hawks are as yet untested in matched play. Again almost the entire squad will make the trip, leaving for the game tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 p.m.
First Half Close
The Jayhawks started slowly in the Blue contest, but picked up momentum to hold a 12-6 lead mid-way in the first half. Blue stars Lloyd Krone and Bob Ulrich then hit consistently, to bring the Topeka five up to within two points of the Crimson and Blue as the half ended, 14-12.
At the start of the second period Gib Stramel, fancy shooting Blue center from Hays, netted three pointers in a row to bring the Ichabinsy into a 18-14 lead Gordon Reynolds, part of "Phog" Allen's completely new team that started the second half, and Norman "Whitey" Carlson then hit a pair to knot the count at 19-19 all. The score again stood tied at 21 and 22-all, but the Blues were never again in the lead. An exchange of shots in Kansas' favor put the Crimson and Blue at a 29-27 advantage, and Everett at a 29-27 advantage, and Everett a freshman guard from Lawrence high school, slipped in a bucket to ice the contest. Hill was the only Jayhawker to go the entire route. Reynolds Plays Well
Reynolds Playoff
Reynolds, Carlson, and Hill all played outstanding games for the Jayhawks. Although having been out for basketball only a few days, Reynolds entered the game at the half and was the pillar of the Kansas defense during the first period. Charles Moffett, K.U. regular last year, was not able to suit up for the game because of a skin infection, and Owen Peck, high scoring forward, played only a few minutes of the game on account of a severe cold. Carlson was high for the Jayhawks with eight points, while Stramel netted ten for the Blues. Allen used seventeen men in the contest in an attempt to give all his squad a work-out before the opening conference game on January 5 with Missouri.

Although they are not world beaters in any sense of the word, the Jayhawks looked better than your columnist had expected in their victory over the Washburn Ichabons on the Hoch auditorium boards Friday night. Gordon Reynolds was especially outstanding, considering the big rebounder had been working out only a few days. Give the tall Tacoma, Wash., forward a few games to get the football blood out of his veins, and he is certain to develop into a real rebounder.
Norman "Whitey" Carlson showed tremendous improvement over his initial performance of the year as he led the 'Hawk scoring Friday night. That the lanky blond was in there fighting all the time, was shown by the severe cut over the eye which he received in the fourth quarter.

Big Six stuff—The Iowa State Cyclones served notice the other night that they will be all out for the Big Six cage title as they eked out a 42-41 victory over the University of Minnesota. This Wednesday night the Whirlwinds will tie into the Iowa Seahawks in a rugged affair that may prove the Staters' stiftest test of the season. Kansas State, losers to Great Bend Army air base and Ft. Riley, run into the Washburn Ichabods this evening in a game that is doped as close. The Aggies showed a definite scoring punch to be reckoned with as they dropped a heartbreaker to Great Bend, 54-51, Saturday night, while the Blues have shown defensive power in their two games against the Jayhawks, Scorei of Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma openers have not reached this desk as yet, but should soon.

Keep your eye on the basketball double header to be played in the Kansas City municipal auditorium December 22 and 23. Five state universities, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Colorado, and Nebraska, will be in action on those two evening. Kansas will meet Kansas State on the first night of play, and will tangle with the potent Missouri Tigers the next evening. The contests will undoubtedly prove a pre-season prediction as to which of the four Big Six teams entered will be up there near the top when conference play ends next March.
