Kansas Wins By Two Points Aganst Flyers
The Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Ft. Leavenworth Flyers at Leavenworth last night, 54 to 52, in their last service team game of the season. It was the first defeat of the year for the Flyers on their home court.
The Jayhawks started off strong and had rushed to a 17 to 7 lead with ten minutes gone. However, with Sgt. Alden Tilberg, former Bethany ace, hitting the basket at a torrid pace, the soldiers rallied and held a 29 to 25 lead over the Allenmen at half time. Tilberg scored on amazing total of 19 points in the initial stanza.
Kansas regained the lead after four minutes of the second half on a goal by Sherwood, Jayhawk's high scorer for the evening, to make it 35 to 34. Although Big Abe Turner did his best to stay with him, Tilberg hooked in seven more-points in the final half for a 26 point total—the highest individual scoring performance against the Jayhawks this season.
Jayhawks Lead By 10 Points
At one time in the latter stages of the game the Jayhawks led by 10 points, but the fighting Flyers would not give up and narrowed the margin considerably in the final few minutes. However, Leavenworth's last two points were scored on two free throws by Tilberg who was fouled by Moffett at the sound of the final gun, with a Kansas victory already assured.
The Kansas team hit 10 of 12 free throws, their greatest foul-shooting performance this year. The Jayhawks had blown both their games with Oklahoma because of free throw inaccuracy, yet last night, when little was at stake, they hit from behind the free line with great consistency.
Sherwood Leads KU Scoring
The Flyers used only six players and all hit the scoring column. Besides Tilberg, Wilson scored three points, Ryden seven, Carr four, McIntyre six, and Hill six.
Sherwood's 17 points sent him to the top of the Kansas scoring heap, the first time he has held such an honor this season. The Kansas forwards, Barrington and Moffett, counted five field goals apiece, with Barrington adding two free throws and Moffett three. McSpadden scored nine points for the Jayhawks and Turner hit for four. Diehl, Lindquist, and Stucker also saw action.
Ft. Leavenworth, only team this year to hold a victory over Olathe NAS, in losing last night dropped their fourth game of the season as against 14 victories.

With the Jayhawks having completed service team competition after last night's victory over Ft. Leavenworth, now would be a good time to give a brief resume of the Jayhawk's successes against their army and navy foes and to select an All-Service team quintet. The Kansas played ten service games and broke even. The Allenmen twice defeated the Herington A.A.B., twice downed Ft. Leavenworth after close battles, and edged out the Fort Riley Centaurs one point on a last second goal by Lindquist in a game here in December. On the other side of the ledger the Crimson and Blue dropped a pre-season game to the University A.S.T. unit, and dropped two other games here in December to two navy foes, Hutchinson N.A.S. and Olathe N.A.S. The return game with Hutchinson was cancelled, while in meeting Olathe in a return game at the air station, the Jayhawks received their worst drubbing of the season, 25 to 49. Their other defeat was the recent one handed them by Ft. Riley CRTC at Junction City. All five of the Mt. Oreadmen's victories were over army fives, while three of the five losses were to sailor teams. The Jayhawks were unable to defeat a team made up of the men in blue this season.
The All-Service Team Five
After consulting with members of the Kansas team, we have chosen this quintet, selecting the most valuable player (in their game against Kansas) on each of the service teams played except Herington; Self, Olathe N.A.S.; Tilberg, Ft. Leavenworth; Wendell, Ft. Riley CRTC; Bean, Kansas A. S. T. P., Gawthrop, Hutchinson N.A.S. Others who deserve honorable mention include Trosper, Gillespie, and Johnson, Hutchinson; Herkel and Howey, Olathe; and Ballard, Ft. Riley.
The Iowa State Cyclones tightened their hold on their Big Six conference basketball lead by defeating Nebraska at Ames last night, 58 to 35. The Cyclones have now won seven straight league contests, but have three toughies left in their remaining contests with Missouri,

Oklahoma, and Kansas. We are predicting an Iowa downfall in one of these three stepping stones and are not too sure it might not be the last mentioned. The Menzene should be able to take care of Oklahoma in their return game at Ames, which will clinch the conference bunting for them, but, with the title already won and, with nothing at stake as far as they are concerned, when they meet the Jayhawks here March 3. Menze's boys may hit a snag. The Jayhawks, on the other hand, will probably have to win the game to beat out Missouri for third place. And a win over the conference champions would also be some consolation for an otherwise disastrous season—disastrous, in terms of an Allen-coached team, for should the Jayhawks fail to defeat Missouri here, and then lose the Iowa State finale it will be the first time a Kansas team has ever wound up in the second division since the formation of the Big Six in 1929.

V-12's, Ship's Co. To Meet Tonight
Top game of the twin bill in Lawrence League play tonight will be the encounter between the V-12's and the Ship's Company, in which Ensign H. L. Ware, now in second place in individual scoring in the league, will leave his position as coach of the V-12's to lead the attack of the Ship's Company upon the student trainees.
Ensign Ware's pupils will find it difficult to stop their coach, who has built up an 11.6 scoring average per game, and with Hagerdorn, the S. C. member who held Bock to one bucket last week, guarding Pyle, leading V-12 score, the V-12's will meet their stiffest competition of the season. However, as in other encounters, the reserve material available on the V-12 bench should suffice to "wear out" a victory over the not so plentiful members of the Ship's Company.
In the second game of the evening Bock, leading scorer of the league, should have opportunity to build up his average in the Blank-S.O.W. Ad, contest, as the Blanks now tied for second place with the Irish Rascals are favored for a win.
The Phi Delt's rang up their fifth intramural basketball victory. Last night defeating the last place Sar-ruth hall boys, 18 to 10. Dean Huebert bced the victors with nine points. The Phi Delt's, only undefeated team in "B" League play, hold undisputed possession of first place.
