Jayhawks Lose To Olathe Gobs 49-25 at Base
The veteran Olathe NAS Clippers were just too much for Kansas' unpredictable Jayhawks last night at Olathe, winning 49 to 25 for their ninth consecutive victory.
It was the worst defeat suffered by Kansas this season, although the Jayhawks have won 10 of 15 games played this season.
Self, Clipper forward who formerly played with Baker and various independent teams, chalked up 12 points in the first 11 minutes, missing only two of his unguardable, two-hand, overhead, jump bots. The Clipper hot shot his seven field goals for the evening, all in the first half, to share scoring honors with Jayhawks Bill Lindquist who racked up six field goals and two free throws.
Clippers Take Early Lead
The Clippers started off to an early lead and led 23 to 11 at the half. It was never a contest as the experienced sailors controlled the rebounds, were hot on their shots, and had the youthful collegians exeed. Besides Self, scorers for Ol' the were Howey with five, Jurkowie with two, Brown with two, Coert, giant center, with nine Thompson with two, Herkal with nine, Toevs with two, and Thomas with four.
Stupid fundamental basketball" was Phog Allen's description of his sam's performance. He added that he team had no complaints; that hey lost to a superior team, and hat Kansas expected to do a lot better against Nebraska here Saturday night in the first Big Six home tame of the season.
Even Veterans Miss Shots
Besides Lindquist, only Moffett and Corder could hit from the field and they only scored five and four points respectively. Barrington added two free throws.
There seemed to be a lid on the goal whenever Kansas shot. Sparky McSpadden, usually a dependable point maker, never even hit the cooring column, missing numerous loose-in shots. Barrington had two off of the rim. Lindquist, although the only Kansan who could hit, basketed several from far out, but yet missed a couple lay ups. Moffett, who scored half the points at Missouri, had a cold night, in fact, the whole team hit a blizzard, but it was not the shooting but rather the poor headwork and poor fundamentals with which Coach Allen was particularly peeved. Twelve players saw action for Kansas. They were Barrington, Turner, Corder, Lindluist, Frank, Malott, Moffett, McSpadden, Stucker Diehl, Palmer, and Dick.

C. E. (K.C.State) McBride said he was "stepping in where a smarter guy might fear to tread" in his "Sporting Comment" column last night in which he counters Phog Allen by picking Oklahoma, rather than Allen's choice of Iowa State, to lead the Big Six Basketball parade. McBride states that Allen has the annual habit of putting the team he fears most "on the spot" while assigning his Jayhawks a lower berth, usually third behind Iowa State and Oklahoma, perennial top berth teams. Yet, McBride says that Big Six history will show that Phog's boys have fronted the cage procession more than all the other teams combined. He is so imbued with "what has gone before," that he is not too sure the Allen miracle might not happen again. But on comparative scores, which mean nothing (as he states) he goes on to show why he selects the Sooners over the Cyclones, leaving Kansas third.

We were let down!

Optimistic before the M.U. game, we were inclined to believe K.U. would again be up there fighting them at the top. But if the Tiger game darkened our cloud, the Olathe encounter last night put us clear down and out, and we now agree (literally) to Allen's recent statement that the Jayhawks will have to fight to place fourth or possibly third.
Super-Pessimism
Even more down in the mouth is Harry (Journal-World) Morrow who sat by me at the game last night. Morrow would favor Nebraska; would hate to even think what I. State and Oklahoma will do to K.U., and remarked that even the Aggies (K-State) will win over the Jayhawks. Well, we have a little more confidence in K. U.

The Blanks will meet the S.O.W. Ads., and the Machinist's Mates will oppose the S.O.W. Techs, in the two games of the Lawrence League schedule on the Community building court at 7:30 tonight.
S.O.W. Teams to Play Hill Quints Tonight
In the second game of the evening, the Machinist's Mates, although as yet untried in league play, are expected to have no trouble with the S.O.W. Techs, who looked rather weak in their victory over the Irish Rascals Thursday night.
Prof. E. C. Buehler of the speech department gave a talk at 12 noon today at the Lion's club in Kansas City, Mo., at the Phillips hotel. His subject was, "I Like America." He returned to the University this afternoon.
Although the Blanks only nosed out Ship's Company by one basket last week, they should be able to out score the S.O.W. Ads., who went down before V-12, 34-20.
