Centaurs Win Over Jayhawks Scoring 43 to 38
The Fort Riley CRTC Centaurs evened the score with the Kansas Jayhawks at Junction City's Municipal auditorium last night when the cavalrymen maintained an early lead and won 43 to 38. Kansas had won an earlier game at Lawrence, 32 to 31, when Lindquist threw in the deciding counter in the last 5 seconds of play.
The Centaurus took an early advantage and at half time led 21 to 15. The Jayhawks pulled up several times in the last half, but were never able to overtake their soldier rivals. Barrington Scored Highest
High scorer for the game was Don Barrington, who tossed in eight field goals and two free tosses for an 18 point total. Most of "Duck"'s baskets were of the drive-in, lay-up variety. Other point makers for Kansas were Moffett, who scored seven points, Turner, with three baskets, two of which were long set shots, and Dick Sherwood, and Lindquist, who scored one field goal each. The latter's two-pointer was a splitter, shot from over half the length of the court.
Leading the scoring for Fort Rilley was a newcomer, Rosenhagen, who scored 14 points on seven field goals, most of which were set shots. George Veddell, former star athlete at St. Denepicts, came through with 13 points, nine short of the 22 points he had been averaging in the last four games. Jack Ballard, former K.U. cager, scored five points, Schifferdecker 10 points, Dickman one fielder, and Caywood one charity loss. Dick Harp, former Jayhawk great, did not play, as he was on furlogh.
Referee Was Unpopular
Referee Blair, Junction City High School cage coach, hardly endeared himself with players of either side, especially Kansas. Shortly after the intermission, Wendell, CRTC star, was ordered from the game after a burst of temper, but was allowed to remain. Later in the canto the Kansas captain, Sparky McSpadden, asked the referee his opinion as to what constituted 5 seconds. (The referee had just taken the ball away from Kansas out of bounds in what was definitely less than the allotted time.) The arbitrator seemed injured and despite the Kansas captain's calling time out to discuss the question of rule interpretation, Blair demanded that McSpadden continue playing.
But when the Kansas captain persisted in straightening out the affair, Blair called a technical foul on him. Minutes later McSpadden went out of the game via the foul route with the grinning Blair standing by. Kansas Given 12 Fouls
Altogether 12 fouls were called
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
It seemed strange indeed that a well-drilled Kansas University five last night would have committed more than twice as many fouls as the Centaurs from Fort Riley. The cavalrymen had not practiced for over a week, were without the services of some of their regulars, and had to depend on some newcomers picked up from intramural troop teams. Naturally, the incoherence resulting from a combination that had never played together before and were out of practice would seem to have made for more fouls Yet the game was not particularly rough and the fouling seemed to be about even. But Referee Blain hardly saw it that way, especially after Sparky McSpadden, Kansas captain, had apparently perturbed him by merely asking for a rule interpretation. Even Centaur Jack Ballard, former Jayhawk, apologized for the officiating.
Coaches Depressed
Track and coach Coaches Depressed Track and field coach Ray Kanehl, who will take his charges to Columbia this Saturday for a dual meet with Missouri and to Lincoln the following week for a triangular affair with Nebraska and Kansas State participating, has expressed any thing but cheer over his squad's prospects as he has little outstanding material (at least as time trials would indicate.) However, rival Big Six track and field mentors are reporting the same situation of "scanty material" so little can be said until the teams get together. The Big Six indoor meet will be held in Kansas City on Feb. 26.
Baseball???
Much talk has been going about that this spring would be the "year for baseball because of the long
against Kansas, with only 5 charged to the Centaurs. Thus, Kansas lost the game on free throws as they out-scored the soldiers from the field, 18 to 17. The game was never exceedingly rough nor quite out of hand.
The soldier five has had to rely on players from troop intramural teams as their regular players have been so hard to count on with military duties and furloughs interfering. Several have also been shipped out.
Soldiers Outfought K N
The soldiers, however, must be given credit for outfighting the collegians. The Kansas team appeared to lack leadership and time and again committed blunders. The Jayhawkers on many occasions set up screens, yet failed to have a man in position to shoot.
Jack Ballard, a member of last year's Kansas team, played a good game and controlled most of the rebounds, especially off the Kansas boards. The 6-6 guard was glad to see Captain McSpadden, a former mate.
term which would carry over into warm weather. However, what we are wondering is what will the team be formed with. It was a hard search to find suitable material in football, basketball, and especially track. With many athletes participating in the track and field sports and with many of the best diamond prospects unavailable because of spring football which Coaches Shenk and Schaake are planning to start next month, baseball seems out of the question. Well, time will tell.
Sooners Start March 6

Oklahoma Coach "Shorter" Luster will start spring grid practice March 6. With 13 lettermen returning including Derald Lebow, all-Big Six back, Bob Mayfield, all-conference center, and Co Captain "Dub" Wooten, Big Six end, Luster is far happier than he was last July when with only one numeral winner, Wingback Boone Baker, he made his oft-quoted comment that "he'd be comin' in on a wingback and a prayer."
Headed for Ninth Title
After trimming Topeka 35 to 24 last Saturday night, Frank Lindley's brawny Newton Railroaders seem "unbeatable" on their quest of capturing the state title for the ninth time. Playing before 4,000 partisan fans (the largest crowd in Topeka High history), the invaders chalked up their twelfth straight victory.

Legal Ruling Lets Nisei,
Aliens Buy Colorado Land
That Colorado has no law which bans either American-born Japanese or even aliens from buying and owning lands and other properties, was the decision passed down by a ruling from the attorney general's office recently.
Some protests from two different sections of the state over the purchase of real estate by these people brought about the announcement.
