Just how long the teams will continue in the conference, but indications are that the four undefended teams are the class of the conference, and will fight out the honors among themselves. The Jayhawkers surprised the followers of the court sport, both in Lawrence, in Ames and elsewhere, by trimming the Ames "hoops" in two teams. The Ames court, "Teamwork" by Dr. Allen's five is offered as explanation for the Jayhawk victories against both Drake and Ames. Endacott, a guard playing his first year in var. 2014, said that the Kansas defense, and contributes toward learning the score of opponents below that of Kansas. Uhrlaub and Body are better than average players, although the latter was no closely guarded he was unable to touch against the Ames aggregation. Missouri, last year's championship winners, displayed some more of the fast, brilliant Meenwall type of basketball, and covered up the Washington Pilkers, last year's runnersup, under scores of 40 to 11, and 40 to 11, at Columbia. Knight of Missouri apologizes for glory in the basket shootout, while Krache, Washington guard, counted most effectively for the losers. The Kansas Aggie five, composed of the same men who showed so strongly last year, won its first two games in the tournament. Sooners at Manhattan, beating them by lop-sided scores of 28 to 16, and 23 to 9. The Aggies have fourteen games scheduled this year, of which six with Kansas, and four with Missouri. Nebraska also opened her schedule with a pair of victories, taking the Grimmell Pioneers into camp by large scores. The Huskers are worrying that their roster may win the conference championship on a percentage basis without playing Kansas, Missouri, or the Kansas Aggies. The Nebraskans have but ten valley games on their record-setting season, the other six with the Iowa schools. The race is almost narrowed down to a triangle, Missouri, Kansas, and the Kansas Argies, already, with each team praying that Ames or Drake or the Sooners will take the Nebraska into camp percentage. The Kansas Argies and Missouri have "unit" fives, which carry through their games, and Kansas has a "replacement" quintet, and has played at least eight men in every game so fan SPORT SPUTTER By "Snow" White John Wulf, tall center, went like a house aide in the first Ames game, reports say. He showed speed and agility. The Ames offense would come down the field, bump into the Jayhawker five-man defense, and stop. Then, while they were waiting for an opening, "Long John" would step over them or something, and take the ball away. The squad is thoroughly infected with confidence now, and it will take a mighty good team to stop them. The second game, Saturday afternoon, was a battle royal, say the returning Kansans. The Aggies went after Kansan with blood in their eye. The Chamomun to get a good basket ball coall, and then lost the first four games. Ames has a new gymnasium, and it's a dandy. Good floor, good light, and no obstructions made the work of Ames to be possible. So are common in crowded gymnasiums. Sigma Phi's and Pi U's Win In Basketball Contests S. A. E.
