Jayhawks Ring Up Sixth Victory Before Starting Big Six Competition
The Pittsburgh State Teachers were the sixth collegiate foe to fall in the path of the Kansas Jayhawks as the men of Mt. Oread triumphed here last night 35 to 21. The Jayhawks, who are unbeaten in college competition, will open their Big Six stand against the Missouri Tigers in Columbia Saturday night.
The first half was a tight defensive battle with frequent misuses by both teams. The half ended 11 to 7, Kansas. Pittsburg went 15 and a half minutes before they could score a field goal. Lindquist counted twice in the first half, MoFett and McSpadden each once, and Barrington, Lindquist, and Stucker each dropped in free throws to give Kansas her 11 points. It was Humphreys who dropped in the Gorilla's first field goal after he and Connor had counted a free throw apiece in the early minutes.
As has been their habit throughout the season, Kansas came back in the last half after a poor first half exhibition. In the first part of the final stanza, the Gorillas found their basket eyes and twice pulled to within one point of the Jayhawkers. The Kansas men did some scoring on their own account, however, and pulled away from the Gorillas after the midway mark of the first half. Joffett Starts Scoring
First it was Moffett who scored two free throws and then two straight from the field. Then Capt. Sparky McSpadden came up with a spurt and dropped in four consecutive foul losses and a one hand hook shot for six of his eight points for the evening. Charles Moffett, who has been distinguishing himself in the last three games with fine passing and defensive exhibitions, also found the shooting range last night and led the scoring for Kansas with nine points.
Don Barrington, who was Kansas offensive power in the KC twin bill, had an off night and counted only four points. "Duck," however played much better in the last half during the early minutes of the game. Gordon Stucker, who played 17 minutes at a guard, came through with a smooth performance. Substitute Don Diehl hit two field buckets in two attempts in the short time he was in there.
Allen Uses Many Substitutes
Dean Corder, still weak from the influenza attack that hit him some time ago, was good for a basket. Coach Allen used nearly all his subs and Palmer, Malot, Sherwood, Brash, Dick, and Turner all saw action. The "reserve five" that played the last two minutes went in for some "race horse" basketball, and with both teams tearing up and down the court shortly before the game's end, the fans became more excited than any time during the contest.
Neither team, however, was hitting the basket until Diehl came through with a one-hander. Veteran George Dick amused the crowd by taking care of a Gorilla all by himself under the goal. Instead of fouling his rival who was dribbling into the basket, Dick used some head work and squatted in front of the goal, causing his rival, who was racing in, to charge over him and draw the foul himself.
The officiating of Eddie Hogue and the one-armed Tom Dorney was the best here this season.
The town of Winfield, Kansas, finally caught up with St. John's U. in basketball last week when Bob Brannum helped Kentucky beat the Redmen after Gerald Tucker, Bob's predecessor as all-state center at Winfield, had failed twice with Oklahoma U.
IWW's Win Starter In IM Basketball
The IWW's started out well in the basketball intramural season last night, winning the game from the Co-op's at a score of 35 to 6. Francis Raw, Lavone Jacobson, and Bethel Reimer were the high scorers for the IWW team, scoring a total of 29 of the 35 points. The defense for the IWW's was also strong. Martha Trate, Francis Davison, and Jean Boardman played the guards. Lois Harkwood was the high scorer for the Co-op's.
The first round of the table tennis tournament will be completed Saturday.
A Baker University volley-ball squad will play the Kansas University volley-ball team at 4 this afternoon.

Russell Draws Map On Rail Equipment
Soon after the government took over operation of the railroads on Dec. 27, F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering and engineer drawing, made a map showing graphically the extent of the rolling stock equipment of the railways of the United States.
Professor Russell's exhibit shows that if all the equipment were placed in a single train, it would extend from the Cape of Good Hope, via the Suez Canal, Asia, Alaska, Panama Canal, and almost to Cape Horn. The freight cars extend over 18,720 miles, passenger cars 700 miles, and locomotives 1000 miles.

Even though the game was played on the Kansas State court, a disadvantage, still the Cyclones hardly looked invincible on last night's performance. A guard, Kester, led the Cyclone attack while All-American Price Brookfield was only able to count one field goal and two free throws despite the fact he played the full 40 minutes.
The Big Six season got underway last night with a mild surprise. The Iowa State Cyclones led only 21 to 15 at the half in their game with the Kansas State Wildcats, whom Kansas plastered 62 to 44 in K.C. last week, and went on to win only 42 to 33, a 9-point margin as against Kansas' 18 point difference. It was only a short time ago that Dr. F. C. Allen prognosticated that the Iowans would take the eBig Six in a breeze.
"Dynamite" Wade
Cliff Wade, little 150-pounder from Wichita, a North High boy, has been "going to town" for the Wichita Cessna Clippers in the Wichita Hockey Leagues. Wade, who lettered in football here this fall, makes it home each weekend for the Sunday night games. The Sunday Wichita Eagle carried his picture as "the K.U. boy who gives a speedy performance at center ice for the unbeaten Cessnas."

NOW ENDS THURSDAY THE Musical WONDER SHOW OF THE YEAR!
in the Wichita hockey league last winter, has been a big cog in his team's three straight victories to date. In beating the Beeecraft Flyers, 10 to 3, Sunday night, Cessna was sparked by Wade who counted four points, two goals and two assists. However, for some reason Wade can't help from getting in scraps and he has been a quite popular figure with the fans as in each game he has engaged in "fisticuffs" and been put in the penalty box. However, this scrappiness is not a new thing with Wade. The first night he was out for the varsity in football, Coach Shenk hung on him the monicker, Dynamite, that stayed with him the entire season. It was that sort of pep that raised him from a third stringer that wasn't even good enough to make the Denver trip, yet, a week later he started at guard (the smallest linesmen in KU history) in the game against Washburn, and again the following week against Nebraska. Kansas could use some more of "Dynamite" next fall, but the little fellow expects to be in the army long before that time.
