Jayhawkers Win 30-27 Game From A.A.U.Champions
Schmidt and Petersen Arc Stars in Three-Point Victory Over Hillyards
St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 1—The form that carried Kansas to victory over Missouri Saturday was shown again last night when the Crimson and Blue quintet downed the Hillyards, national A. A. U. champions, 30 to 27 in a game featured by the spasmodic play of both teams.
*Both teams reached the heights in flashing play, but fell back in slipform form after a few points had been scored. Kannas was leading 22 to 30 against the Chemists rallied and scored five points before the gun sounded.
Petersen Scores First
Kansas opened the scoring when Petersen took Burton's pass from out of bounds and beached the ball through the rim. Sturbrook was standing flat on his knees as he batted in the air and planted an easy basket. Captain Schmitt then scored from near center and Petersen repeated the sort of goal he made the first time.
The auditorium was practically filled and early in the contest the crowd sensed a Jayhawker victory. Even occasional flashes of brilliant play by the Hillarys failed to arouse much enthusiasm. Several times Kansan attacked Hillary, always managed to break a Hillary rally when it seemed dangerous.
Kansas Defense Looks Poor
Ask any local follower about the game and he will tell you that the Chemists would have won if DeBernard had gotten into the game earlier, but that is doubtful, although the presence of the red-head in the early part of the last half, caused a brief rash on the part of his team.
The Hillaryard first score was made by Hewitt with a short goal. However, Petersen immediately countered with a tally for Kansas. The Kansas defense seemed to be functioning poorly at this point of the game and Jeffery was inserted for Maney, who had started.
Schmidt and Petersen Star
Kansas opened the half with a 16 to 13 lead and Petensen made another basket on a follow-up of Schmidt's long shot. DeBernardi then went into the game and his fighting spirit seemed to be injected into the crowd as well as his team. The famous red-head was only good for two baskets and a dangerous rally, tell short, real points. "Dex" second basket was a thriller. Standing back to the basket, Petensen had it rebounded from the backboard.
Kansas then had things its own way for the remainder of the half, except
for the last two minutes when the Hillyards scored five points in a thrilling rally.
Captain Schmidt and Petersen were the cogs in the Kansas machine responsible for the Hillyard defeat. Petersen was in perfect form for the night, but he was unable to hold his own at the tip-off. When Wulf did get the tip, one of the speedy Kansas forwards was waiting to take the ball and continue the attack, which seemed to be hitting and carried the brunt of the running attack used by Kansas. Gale Gordon again appeared to be off range and was unable to break into the attack. All of the set-ups, but missed all of them. Every member of the Hillyard figures in the scoring, while practically all of the offensive work for Kansas was done.
At last the Kansas offense seems to be working in the manner it should have been all season. Last Saturday, Kansas crushed Missouri 40 to 23 and for the first time this season the wearers of the Crimson and Blue played like the powerful scoring team they should be.
Sport Notes
In this game, Gale Gordon came to life and hit the basket from all angles. Scoring four field goals and a free throw, the big Kansas looked like he did last year, when he went on a scoring rampage that hasted from the time he was shifted to forward to the end of the drill. He was also beaten "of". He has tried hard enough and there are some who will say that this has been what asked him.
Always a slow starter and usually never being able to hit baskets until after a few games have been played, this year he seem unable to break through the net, so it is unable to score any points, but against Nebraska showed some of his ability and the form that local followers have come to expect from him. Performers often just what he needed. Anyway he was the Gordon of 1926 against Missouri.
Last night at St. Joseph, the national A. A. U. champions, the Hillyards, went down to defeat before Kansas. Reports of the game say that both teams played spotty basketball. For a few minutes the offense would roll up points and the defense would play it like a slam play. It played so playfully. This was true of both teams and it happened that Kansas was hitting better than the Chemists.
Now on Display
The Kansas-Hillard game brings out forcibly the effect of having a star player on the lineup. The entire team has been playing hard nardir and when the red-head is not playing, the team simply doesn't function if it is up against real competition. This was used to make a Kansas victory, merely because a Kansas "Do" was not in the game. When

relienced one of his mates at the early part of the last half, the magic of his presence was clearly shown. The crowd had been sitting back in ease, grumbling about how Kansas was winning, but when DeBernardi was winning, the audience, the audience became a bowling mob, crying for a Hillary victory.
Frequently when two teams of as brilliant offensive and defensive strength meet, the game will be featured by spotty playing. Usually both teams realize the strength of the other and are over-cautious, while there are times when one team cannot stand the pace and cracks.
