Snappy Play Marks Every Stage of First Basketball of of Season
Half Ends With Score 16-15
Captain Uhlraub Resopnible For 23 Points for Varsity— Hodge Stars for Army
Playing in midseason form, the K. U.basketball team defeated Camp Funston in a fast and well played game in Robinson Gymnasium last night, 37-27. The contest was close and not until the last five minutes of play against bywaker five drew away from the soldiers with a commanding lead.
Captain Urlrab started the scoring after two minutes of play with a free throw. Hodge, the stellar forward on the army team, tossed a goal field a minute later and followed it with a free throw, putting Funston in the lead. Fearing even more injury, Fearless shot from the corner of the court, but the soldiers again took the勒 when Hodge tossed a pair of free throws.
VARSITY HOLDS LEAD
From this time on until the end of the half, the play was fast and furious. Kansas having the edge and resting it most of the way. The half ended with the score 16-15 in favor of the Jayhawkers.
Funston came back strong in the first few minutes of the second half and made a great bid for the game, but Captain Uhlraub and his mates were covering the soldiers closely, and they were forced to resort to long shots. Goals by Uhlraub and Fearing kept the Jayhawkers in the lead although Hodge's free throwing and a beautiful shot from midcourt by Breckenroad left the army team in the running.
With K. U. leading, 27-26, Bunn replaced Fearing at forward and Davis took Mandeville's place at guard. Then the teamwork of Coach Hamilton's men suddenly asserted itself and the whirlwind attack of the Kansans broke through the Funston defense. Uhrlaub, Bunn and Laslett found the basket in quick succession and the ball was shot by Hodge completed the Funton score and Uhrlaub added the last points for Kansas.
CAPTAIN SCORED 23 POINTS
The great playing of Dutch Uhrlaub was the outstanding feature of the game, the Jayhawker captain scoring twenty-three of the thirty-seven points made by Kansas. Fearing showed speed on the floor and was always in the thick of the fight.
The close guarding of the K. U. quintet was really responsible in a large measure for the victory. Time after time Laslett and Mandeville intercepted passes and took the ball from the soldier forwards. Scrubby also contributed four points to the victory, including an exhibition after he was inserted at guard, while Bunn and Matthews also played well.
Hodge was the Funston star, accounting for seventeen points. His free throwing was excellent as he capped the ball nine times. Breckenroad and Modisette played good ball for the soldiers.

Potty Clark, assistant football coach here last year, was in charge of the army quintet. Potty is head coach of basketball at Funston, now that former Coach Fricke has stopped coaching.
SPORT BEAMS
Referee—Red Brown, K. U.
Coach W. O. Hamilton was pleased with the manner in which his men
showed up the Funston aggregation last night. The much heralded team work of the Funstonites was broke up by the K. U. guards, and incidentally Uhrlub, Laslett, and company made use of a little of that team play themselves.
Kansas should have little trouble beating Ames next week, as the Camp Dodge five recently defeated the Iowaans and Camp Funston easily won from Camp Dodge in the army series at Kansas City.
The showing of Davis and Bunn in the short time they were in the game night makes it certain that the Jayhawkers will not suffer greatly for lack of substitutes. And there are other members of the squad who will make the regulars fight to hold their positions.
St. Mary's got revenge on the Hays Normalities for a football defiant last season, when the basketball team of the Catholic school took the Normal five into camp and defeated them by a good margin.
Haskell played her second basketball game last night on the home court and trounced the Cooper College quintet, 24-14. Camp Funston defeated the Indians two weeks ago, 38-25, and Kansas beat the Haskell five in a practice game by about the same score.
Recreation Building Ready
The recreation building for the 353d All-Kansas Regiment at Camp Funston, built with money raised by private subscriptions in each county of the state, will be opened Tuesday. A big celebration has been planned and several prominent Kansas men will speak, among them Sheriff Frank Peck. The money raised to build this building was far in excess of the amount needed and a good sized fund is left over to be used for the men when they reach France.

Government In Need Of Psychologists To Carry On Army Tests
Dockeray Tells Students There Is Demand For Men To Examine Recruits
Prof. F, C. Dockeray of the department of psychology in a lecture before one of his classes said that the government is in need of a great number of psychologists in the work among the soldiers. He gave several instances in which the psychologists were helping the government.
The greatest work is in giving the intelligence test to the recruits and to the men who are already in the army. This is being done to divide the men more evenly in the one regiment posterior in mental ability, another母组, some of the男 would be transformed in order to even the two in average mentality.
The navy, also, offers a great field to psychologists. The third branch of work for the psychologists is on the personnel committee in the training camps. This committee give psychological tests to all the drafted men who enter the camps.
Professor Dockerer suggested that the girls of the department especially should continue the work. He said that there was going to be a great demand for women teachers of psychology because of the lack of men.
Johns Hopkins University has closed its psychology department because the instructors have gone into army work.
