Varsity Whips Scrappy Frosh 25-17
Varsity Kissell, Walker Pace'Phog's'Men To First Victory
In a ragged, rough and tumble ball game last night in Hoch Auditorium, "Phog" Allen's varsity cagers downed "Mit" Allen's frush five by a score of 25 to 17. Stars in the varsity victory were sophomore Max Kissell and senior "Hutch" Walker. The game's high scorer was Otto Schnellbacher, fresh center, who gathered three goals and two free throws.
The frosh rang up the only goal of the first quarter when Bill Brill former Wyandotte high star, slipped in an under-basket shot. Schnellbacher followed Brill with a tipshot in the opening minute of the second quarter, and then the varsity went to work. Walker tossed a free throw, big Charlie Black broke in for a set-up, Walker followed with a one-hander from the side, Johnson tallied on another set-up, and Black sank his second goal on a tip in. Schnellbacher retaliated with a swing shot as the first half ended, and the frosh trailed on the short end of the score 9 to 6.
Kissell sank two charity tosses as the second half opened and Dixon again matched it with a long high one-handed flip. T. P. Hunter cracked a long set shot down center as the third quarter ended with the varsity in front 15 to 10.
Schnellbacher tossed in a free throw but the varsity pulled ahead to a 10-point lead on two free throws and a jump-push shot by Kissell and a long shot by Walker. The frosh put on their last rally with John Short gathering a free throw, Schnellbacher sinking a beautiful under-basket shot followed by his second charity toss, and Dixon added a third free throw for the frosh in this comeback.
With the game score at 23 to 16, Hunter and Jack Ballard proceeded to sew the ball game up with a goal apiece in the final minutes. The fresh played smooth ball and really gave the varsity a battle. Dr. Allen's varsity missed the services of football stars Ralph Miller, Don Ettinger and Ray Evans, and John Buescher, a letterman from last winter's team who was ineligible.

Kappa Alpha Theta, and Mary Margaret Scholer, college junior, Kappa Kappa Gamma. Miss Anne Shibley of Carrollton, Mo., was the Missouri University "Tiger Claw" queen.
Celebrators then moved to Hoch auditorium where they saw the varsity whip the freshmen on the basketball court. Clayton Harbur's orchestra furnished the music for the "honky-tonk" dance held in Robinson gym after the game.
The queens and attendants of both universities were introduced at the rally. Music was furnished by the University band, Justice Hugo T Wedell read telegrams from former Jayhawk captains.
Ralliers Dance

week ago, but for everytime they scored by ground, Kansas would retaliate by air. Nebraska passes worried Faurot nearly to death in the 6-0 Tiger triumph over the Huskers, so there is no reason to believe that the Missouri pass defense would have bottled up Kansas on a dry day. As it was, in sleet, rain, mud, and what have you, Ray Evans passed the Tigers in the closing quarter. It is a rather absurd thing to say, but we believe that it would have been one whale of a close game if it had been played on a dry field.
The greatest end in Kansas history, Hubert Ulrich, did not get to play in his final ball game. . . . Seniors Bob Fluker and Jay Kern at the guard posts climaxed an outstanding season with a four-star performance against the Tigers. Gwinn will have to look long and hard next year, to find a pair of guards that can halfway equal the fine play this pair has given Kansas fans all year...
GAME SIDE-LINES
Ralph Miller did some of the finest running of his career yesterday, in addition to kicking and passing well. . . . The remaining seniors—Steve Meade, Ralph Schaake, Denzel Gibbens, Marvin Vandaveer, and Monte Merkel—gave evidence by their play Saturday, that they would be missed in '42. . . .
One of the game's stars was Ray Evans, who ran, passed, blocked, and tackled with all-around skill that matched any Tiger back, including Steuerber and Ice. . . . Another Kansan who stood on defense was Warren Hodges, sophomore reserve tackle. Hodges teamed up with end Bob Hagen on the right side of the line, to turn in a very creditable game. Hodges and Hagen were high school teammates at Lawrence high. A third Lawrence boy, Wally Hinshaw, looked good in his brief appearance.
Both sophomore fullbacks, Ray Niblo and Don Ettinger, were impressive. Niblo did a fine job of line-backing along with Paul Hardman, while Ettinger looked swell on two pass catches from Evans.
