Only four games stand between the Missouri Tigers and an ever-victorious season. The Tigers took two games from Kansas on Wednesday and Thursday of last week and need to win to remain in their remaining games to clinch the title.
The two games with the Jayhawkers proved easy for the Tigers, the scores being 36 to 21 and 31 to 13. It is the first time in the history of the schools that the Tigers have taken all four basketball games. Both games were marked on record when they went out of both contests on personalists and Laslett of Kansaas was put out of the first game.
EARLY LEAD IS UNAVAILABLE
The weeks was disastrous one for the Jayhawkers. Besides the two games at Missouri the Kansans dropped a pair of close games to Washington at St. Louis. Kansas lead in the first game until the last six seconds of play when Hurd, the star Pikeer forward, caged a goal giving his team a 28 to 27 victory. The second game was almost as close as it could rally but the final whistle cut it short with the Pikers leading 37 to 35. Hurd played another great game for the Pikers while Captain Lonborg and Laslett, the Kansas guards were the Jayhawker stars.
Oklahoma spring the real surprise of the week by taking a pair of games from the Kansas Aggies at Norman and as a result the fourth place in the standing. The Sooners, after getting away to a bad start early in the season have won their last three games. The scores of the Sooner-AGgle game were 34-15-9, but the Wasner is the Sooner star and Bunger earned for the Kansas team.
GRINNELL WINS ONE GAME
Ames lost a pair of games to the other two Iowa teams during the week. Both the games were close Drake winned the game Wednesday 22 to 19 and Grinnell took the Cyclones into camp Friday 13 to 12. The latter game was the low score game of the year in the Valley. The visitor for Grinnell was the first conference win of the season for the Ames team without a win. The standings follow.
Team Won Lost Pct.
Missouri 14 1 0.000
Washington 11 7 3 .786
K. S. A. C. 11 5 7 .583
Kansas 5 7 4 .417
Oklahoma 5 7 3 .475
Drake 2 6 2 .125
Grinnell 1 7 1 .125
Ames 1 10 0 .000
The Missouri-Washington games will hold the center of the stage in the week's contests. The Pikers are in second place and have been playing good ball all season and since the first two games of the season which they dropped to the Pikers have only lost one. The two games, Friday and Saturday which will be played Columbi, close the season for the Pikers.
AGGIES TO VISIT LAWRENCE
The two Kansas teams, Kansas and the Argies, will meet at Lawrence on Friday. In the series early in the year at Manhattan each team won one game and these games should be close.
The games were originally scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday but the Argies are now set to rest up from their last week's trips. The Argies played three games on their Oklahoma trip, losing to Phillips at Enid besides their games agains the Sooners who the Jayhawkers with the two Missouri schools.
Drake will meet Grinnell on Tuesday in the second game of the year between the two schools. Drake won the first game 18 to 11 and will have the advantage of playing on their own court this week. Ames will make an appearance in a column with a game against Grinnell at Ames on Saturday. Grinnell won a game from the Cyclones last week by a one point margin at Grinnell.

SAILORS MUST REPORT
K. U. Naval Reserve Men Re- Ceive Training
Orders
Letters from the navy department received recently by men in the University, who are in the Navy Reserve, inform them that they will be obliged to report for training next summer.
The training will begin July 1 and will continue at least two weeks Thirty-six drills must be attended and if it is possible to attend these in two weeks, the training period will only last that long. It is improbable that the work can be completed that soon.
The privilege of taking a short cruise will be offered if preferred to the drill. Several of the men have already expressed their preference for such a trip to the monotonous grind of the drill.
These training periods will continue to be held as long as the men's service period continues.
Use Kerosene to Kill First Dandelion Roots
To prevent the spread of this pest Professor Stevens suggests that a few drips of kerosene be dropped on plants when the early plants are dug up.
"Energetic fraternity freshmen and others with an eye for labor-saving devices will get after the dandelion problem immediately if they are wise," said Prof. W. C. Stevens of the department of botany today. "The seed-scattering winds are fast approaching which will bring forth the dandelion and will not kill the dandelion by digging it up," continued Professor Stevens. "Even the smallest root will sprout if it is not killed."

Meanwell, Missouri Coach May Cause Change in Date of Meet
The indoor track meet to be held under the direction and invitation of the Kansas City Athletic Club may be postponed on account of new developments. Coach Meanwell of Columbia has decided to send some of his stars to the meet at Illinois which he will coach.

Director Reilley of K. C. A. C. is disappointed at the new pins of the Missouri coach, for he will pit Johnson against the fastest dash man in this section of the country.
