With the final games for the Jayhawk quintet played with the Aggies Monday and Tuesday, Coach Hamilton's team is securely entrenched in the third place position in the Missouri Valley basketball race, with the Kansas Aggies one place ahead of the Crimson and Blue team and Coach W. E. Meanwell's Missouri Tigers leading the race with a record of fifteen wins and only one defeat. The final games in the Valley will be played next week between the Kansans and the Huskers, but the outcome will not materially affect the standing of the teams in the championship race, as Missouri has already cinched the title and the Aggies cannot be dislodged from second place. The Huskers, however, may step into fourth place by winning both games from the farmers.
WHIRLWIND START FAILS
WHIRLWIND START FAILS
The Jayhawkers have finished a rather unsuccessful season after a whirlwind start and a record of four successive victories at the beginning of the race. The team includes some of the best players, but erratic playing and lack of teamwork at the proper times have been the chief causes of the failure of the Jayhawkers to place higher than third.
The K. U. quintet has been a great scoring machine when things were working smoothly, as the 61 points piled up against Drake and the 92 points in the first series against Washington will testify. The Jayhawkers have also been the only team in the Valley to defeat both the Kansas Aggies and Missouri, and, with Missouri, have been the only team to score victories over every remaining quintet in the Conference.
UHLRAUB MAKES MANY POINTS
Besides these distinctions, Captain Dutch Uhrlaub, although playing guard most of the season, is among the three high score men in the Valley and his all-around work has stamped him as probably the best all-around player in the Conference. Captains VanTrine of the Aggies and Hawley of the lowly Drake outfit have also proved their all-around ability by piling up big total scores, and Marquard of Washington and Uhrlaub lead the Conference in free throws.
Miller regular right forward, has been the most consistent scorer on the Jayhawker team during the latter part of the season, and Matthews has had an impressive goal shooting. It was his long time to play the only game taken from Missouri.
Bunn has displayed good form on the floor and he and Miller should form a valuable pair of forwards next year, as both men are sophomores and will probably return to school next fall. Scrubby Lusatts have played his usual hard game at guard and is one of the best defensivemen in the valley. Fearing, Rice, Knowles and Cousins all attend at times and with the exception of Riese each man will be eligible for the 1919 Varsity. Captain Urblaub and Rice are the only members of the squad who will be graduated in June.
ALL-VALLEY TEAMS SELECTED
While officials and sport writers in the Valley have selected several All-Valley quintets, the Kansan, from the form displayed by the various teams, are here and the reports of content elaborate out the following All-Valley teams:
First team: Forwards, VanTrine,
Diamonds, Watches, Silverware, Cut Glass
ED W. PARSONS Jeweler—T25 Mass. St. Jewelry of the Better Sort

Aggies and Ruby, Missouri; Center Campbell, Missouri; Guards, Captain Uhrlaub, Kansas and Slusher, Missouri.
Second team: Forwards, Captain Hawley, Drake and Miller, Kansas; Center, Marquard, Washington; Guards, Laslett, Kansas and Clarke, Kansas Aggies.
The University of Oklahoma has finished a baseball schedule of fifteen games and the nine will play the Oklahoma Aggies, Phillips University, Chilopec Indians, Central Normal and Henry Kendall.
SPORT BEAMS
William Jewell finished the basketball season at Liberty, Mo., by defeating the Tarkio College five Wednesday by a score of 55-31. Newman, the Jewell center, shot eleven field goals.
Forrest Harrison, dash man on the track team of the Kansas City Poly track team of the Kansas City Polytechnic Institute, has been selected to lead his team next year. Harrison won the relay for Poly in K. C. A. C. race against the Pittsburgh Normals by overcoming the Normal lead in the last lap of the race.
Although Ottawa University basketeers lost their first game of the season to Baker Wednesday after winning twelve successive games, the Ottawans have cinched the State Conference championship because the Bethany Swedes also lost a conference game, their second defeat this year.
Every member of the Ottawa five probably will be in school next year, which means that the Baptists will be in the thick of the fight again in 1919.
Seventeen Missouri high school teams are competing in the annual high school elimination contest at Columbia for the Missouri state title. Central high of Kansas City is entered and is likely to carry away first prize. The Central team won the state championship at the tournament in Columbia last year.
Lawrence high plays Atchison at Haskell tonight. Atchison has defeated the Lawrence team once, but since then Atchison has lost to Rosedale, which team in turn has lost by an overwhelming score to the Lawrence five. Atchison recently defeated Topeka high school on the Topeka court, but Lawrence supporters are expecting a victory for their favorites tonight.

The editorial staff of the Kansas Engineer, a magazine published by the Associated Engineering Societies of the University of Kansas, started the work today of compiling the spring issue, which will be off the press about May 1. This will be the only issue published this year. Three numbers were to have been printed in the June 2005 issue of the unsettled conditions caused by so many enlistments, the staff has been unable to organize until recently.
"This issue will deal," said Clarence Lynn, business manager, "with engineering aspects in Kansas and will attempt to cover some of the more important engineering problems of the state."
