UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN JANUARY 21,1918. Kansas Scores 31-20 Against Ames Quintet In Spirited Contest Ames Rallies Repeatedly, But Each Spurt Is Met By Aggressive Defense Teamwork Much Improved short, Snappy Passes Carry Ball Into Iowa Territory For Playing in greatly improved form over the ragged work of Thursday, the Kansas quintet got together Friday night and gave Ames a second beating, 31-20. The Jayhawkers took the lead after two minutes of play and retained it throughout the game, although many times Ames' rallies threatened to tie the score. Captain Uhlraub gave the Crimson and Blue a good lead when he shot two pretty field goals in quick succession. After Hahn had bagged the first Ames score, Laslett added two points for Kansas with a shot from the corner of the court. Then Captain Aldrich of the Aggies found the basket for his first goal of the series and Ames was fighting hard to tie the score. HALE ENDS IN KANSAS' FAVOR But her offensive ceased when Uhrlauh scored twice by the free throw route, and although Aldrich tossed another goal a minute later, the count was 16-11 in favor of Kansas when the half ended. The second period found Boyd, the little Ames speed demon, in the game at right forward and Abbott playing guard. With this changed lineup, the lowans started a big spurt which brought them to within three points of the Jaiyahakers. Uhrlaub led off with a free throw, but a field goal by Aldrich and four free throws in quick succession by Boyd left the score 20-17. At this time Scrubby Laslett left the game and Uhrlaub took his place at guard, Miller being inserted in Dutch's position at left forward. This combination cut short the last Ames rally and staged the big attack which gave Kansas an eleven point margin, and the game. game REAL TEAM WORK DEVELOPED REAL TEAM WORK DEVELOPMENT The best basketball of the game was played in this period, when Coach Hamilton's quintet suddenly found themselves and by an exhibition of real teamwork, worked the ball into Ames territory time and again by short and snappy passes. Uhrlaub, Fearing and Miller scored in rapid succession, while Harper was tossing a lone field goal for the Aggies, and a long shot by Matthews gave the Jayhawkers an eight point lead. Matthews left the game soon afterward with four personal fouls against him and Uhrlaub was shifted to center. Mandevale was put in at right guard. A free throw by Uhrlaub and a short toss by Miller from directly under the basket ended the Kansas scoring, while Boyd's fifth free throw was the final point for Ames. BOYD SPEEDY ON FLOOR The great offensive and defensive play of Captain Uhlraub, along with the close guarding and good floorwork of Laueley and Bunn were the features of the game from a Kansas viewpoint. Captain Aldrich's goal floor were the bright spots in the work of the Ames five.

La Grange, the Ottawa left guard, shot ten goals from the field, as many as were scored by all four forwards Ottawa used. Ottawa University humbled Cooper College the other night to the tune of Southwestern Texas Normal failed to score a single field goal in a recent game with Texas University. The score was 54-2, the Normals making two free throws. A new feature in the college athletic world nowadays is the introduction of the war clause in football schedules for next fall. This clause is to the effect that the entire schedule may be cancelled at any time if war conditions make such action necessary The University of Cincinnati recently attached such a clause to its schedule and other colleges have used the idea since. Carl Merg, e21, will leave today for his home in Paola, to attend the opening of the new high school building there. The Central high school basket- teers of Kansas City, after beating everything in the big Inter-high school league, played their first out-of-state game Saturday, when they walloped Wichita high, 58-21. Baker University won her third successive Kansan Conference basketball game Friday when she defeated Bill Hargiss' Emporia ball basket tossers. The score was 24-18 Jayhawker Freshman Five Coming Strong Frost Team Has Fine Chance to Place High In Conference The new ruling in the Missouri Valley Conference that the freshmen teams may play scheduled games finds K. U. with probably the best freshman basketball team in history. This year's freshman five is strong enough to put up a mighty stiff fight against any team, varsity or freshman. Race Men have been coming out well for basketball, and as a result, Coach Bond has a big squad out of which two or three winning combinations may be picked. Barter, Shields, Harms, and Adams have been displaying unusual ability at the forward positions, and Murphy has been playing a consistent game at center. The guards doing the best work are Bennett, Bresler, McCleod, and McGinnis. No Valley schedule has been arranged thus far but Coach Bond says the team will be ready any time.

Practice for Coming Indoor Track Meets To Commence Monday Presence of Only Two Letter Men Necessitates Building of New Team Regular practice for the indoor track season is to begin Monday. Many track men have been working out since compulsory military drill has been in order and the cross country team has not broken training since last fall. Coach W. O. Hamilton has a serious task before him in developing a track team for the coming season as Murphy and Rice are the only letter men in school. Fred Rodkey will have charge of much of the work because Coach Hamilton has his hands full in coaching the basketball team and running the department of physical education. Many positions will have to be filled from the last year's freshman squad. Enough athletes already have reported for track and field this season, coming season, it seems. The distance men have not been able to work on the track since a week ago Wednesday because of the use of Robinson Gymnastics for basketball games and conventions. The high jumpers, pole vaulters and short distance men have been working out down stairs on the main floor. Men have already shown up for most of the positions. Haddock and Schwartz, both sophomores, are out for the short distances. Rodkey, a brother of Fred Rodkey, and Clift, an Oklahoma high school star probably will run the quarter. In the half mile there is Murphy, one of last year's K men, Brown, captain of this year's cross country team and McCall, captain-elect of the cross country team. Hanna, Dewall and Coffee, all cross country men are trying for the mile and the two mile, Welty, another Oklahoma man, and Armel are working on the hurdles. Dorman O'Leary who was elected captain of the track team last year is now in the army. Either Rice or Murphy probably will be elected to fill the vacancy. Rodkey is the only man out for the broad jump. Rice, who jumped more than six feet last year, will be out again for the high jump. Welty is also a high jumper. Haddock and Davidson will try out for the shot put. The first indoor meet will be held early in February with the Emporin Normals, followed by one with the Aggies. The season will close with the big meet with Missouri in Kansas City. Malted milk makes a rich and nourishing meal; try ours at Wiedemann's.—Adv.

Assas Leads Valley In Basketball Race Jayhawkers Win Two Valley Games — Manhattan and Washington One Each When the Jayhawkers defeated Ames Friday, they stepped into the lead in the Missouri Valley basketball race. Missouri, Kansas Aggies and Conch Walters took the Ames basketsker to Manhattan for a game Saturday and the Kansas Aggies defeated them, 33-27. The game was hotly contested, and was not decided for the Kansans until the last few minutes of play. One of the interesting features was the fact that Captain Aldrich of Ames, who failed to cage a single free throw, saved the Angels. Coach Cleverenger's Kansas farmers come here for a pair of games Wednesday and Thursday of next week. From the available dope, K. U. and the Aggies are well matched and should furnish the students a little real excitement during quiz week. Nebraska did not even furnish good practice for the Camp Funston士兵 soldiers in the game at Lincoln Saturday, and if the Huskers do not play better ball, they will surely find the going rather rough when they meet the Valley teams. Funston humbled them by a score of 43-17. Schellenberg, Hubka, and Kellogg, all Nebraska football stars, were in the lineup but could do nothing against the attack of the soldiers. Pipes Do Not Freeze In Chemistry Building Faculty Company Coming Slowly The faculty drill company is coming along slowly according to Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, who is in charge of the recruiting of the company. So far only enough men have volunteered to have two squads. Professor Goldsmith believes that there are many faculty members who have plenty of time to devote to the drill and who should come out regularly. Although the Chemistry Building probably has more exposed water pipes than any other building on the Hill, no trouble caused by bursted pipes has been reported this winter, according to chemistry instructors. Because of the number of laboratories on all floors of the building it is difficult to keep some of the water from freezing and in former winters damage has been done. There is little danger of fire caused by water coming in contact with chemicals, as all chemicals are kept in water proof containers and are stored in safe places. Phosphorus is necessarily one of the exceptions to this rule since it is kept under water all the time. The danger during cold weather lies in the possibility of water freezing and liberating the chemicals to the air. Several small fires have been caused by this reason. The fire in the journalism building this month was caused by a frozen phosphorus experiment in the physiology laboratories. Popcorn crisp, fresh every day; try it at Wiedemann's—Adv.
