Jayhawks Win Washburn Fray In Slow Game
Starting out like a "house afire," the Kansas Jayhawks suddenly cooled off and were held on even terms the final 30 minutes here last night, by an outclassed Washburn Ichabod five who succumbed, 22 to 35. It was the second victory of the season for the Allenmen over the capital city crew.
The Jayhawks showed some real basketball in the opening moments when they passed and fast broke to a quick 8 to 0 lead. Moffett tarted it off with his favorite one-ander from the side, and was followed by Barrington and McSpaden who came through with buckets, the former's being of the lucky variety as it hit the backboard with the force of a cannon ball. He slows to Start.
The Ichabods could not find the basket from the field until seven minutes had elapsed. With little Burke Horsley, the Ichabods' outstanding player, showing the way Washburn fought back in the latter part of the first period and were only seven points behind at intermission, 15 to 22.
Horsley scored his third basket to art off the second half and the clue clad team pulled within five points of the Jayhawks. Kansas been pulling away, however, and the opekans were never able to present another serious threat.
Although nothing was at stake and the game was of relatively importance, the Jayhawks were outought for the most part by their inferior opponents and hardly looked the team they did two weeks ago against Oklahoma.
The two "big men" on both teams—Barrington of Kansas and the ichabods Hagedorn—had a private rebounding scrap with the laurels about even. Barrington, who scored 15 points in the other Washburn contest was held to only four points and Hagedorn. Washburn's usual high scorer, was handcuffed completely, scoring only four points, his owest total of the season.
maller Players Do Scoring
It was the smaller fellows that took over the scoring chores with Kansas' Moffett and McSpadden leading the point-making with 10 and 8 respectively and the Ichabodite, Horsley next in line with even.
Sherwood, one of the best set shot ristuists on the Kansas team, hit three buckets, although having rather an off night. Lanky Abe Turner hit me from far out and Lou Goehring, going into the game with only a couple of minutes remaining, came through with two fielders, both from under the basket.
The game was twenty minutes late on account of Washburn's late arrival.
Kansas' next game will be at Fort
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Okahlaom got a little of their own medicine last night when they, not their opponents, lost out in the closing moments of play. Just back from one-point victories over two Big Six foes, Kansas and Missouri, the Sooners took on their powerful cross-city rivals, the Norman Sky-jackets, in a return match. The Sky-Jackets, recent winners over the Norman Zoomers, won over Drake's boys 42 to 30 in December. This time freshman Ken Pryor, who scored the winning buckets against Kansas and Missouri and earned the monicker, "the clutch man" of the Big Six, couldn't come through—but he almost did. Pryor tossed the free throw that tied the game up at 30-all after the Sooners had overcome a 10-point Skyjacket lead, but a sailor long shot, the gun firing with the ball in the air, spelled doom for Oklahoma.

Sooners Should Win!
Oklahoma's great battle against the Skyjackets—one of the best teams in the valley—should boost their stock in their coming game with Iowa State at Norman Saturday night. As everyone knows, the game Saturation night has a great bearing on the final outcome of the Big Six race, and if the Sooners are going to win out they'll have a lot better chance of beating the Cyclones on their home court than they will at Ames.
***
Fort Riley Coachless!
Whether it will mean anything or not, Kansas should have at least one advantage over the Fort Riley Centaurs when the two clubs meet at the fort next Monday night in that Kansas will have a coach—and the "father of them all," too. On the other hand the cavalrymen are entirely coachless. Sgt. Leo F. Strangle, ex-Nebraska high school mentor, who has taken over the coaching duties since Lt. John Moore was made athletic officer, has been unable to schedule practice sessions because of military duties. Because of the forced cessation of practice this week, the soldiers are not expecting to even up the series with the Jayhawks. However, two stars that never appeared in the CRTC lineup in the earlier game, Dick Harp, former KU. star, and Keith Caywood, Emporia State football ace, will be in the lineup against Kansas. The Centaurs have won all of their Kansas Service League games to date.
Had Field Night'
Had Field Night!
Al Artman, Nebraska Husker, and Norville Gish, Kansas Aggie, had
Riley next Monday night. Although the Jayhawks defeated the cavalrymen in December when Lindquist scored a last-second basket to give the Jayhawks a one-point victory, the Centaurs now take the favorite's role on recent performances and the home court advantage.

The Ship's Company downed the SOW Techs 53-25, and the Blanks won from the Irish Rascals 34-31 in Lawrence league basketball play last night.

Tonight the Machinist's Mates will have a decided advantage over the SOW Ads in the first game of the evening, while the Ship's Company and the Irish Rascals will be a toss-up affair.

Owens, with 12 points, led the Rascals in their fight to overcome a 10-1 lead that the Blanks built up in the first few minutes of play.

The Sig Alph's continued to sail along in "B" League competition by downing the hapless Carruth boys, 29 to 15. Alexander, S.A.E., was high scorer for the game with 11 points.
