TIGERS ARE HUMBLED IN CLOSE 4-3 GAME
Kansas Takes Season's Last Game by Ninth Inning
Victory
At last the mighty Tigers are humbled. And the Jayhawkers join in a jabble. For didn't they predict? And didn't it come true? And isn't K. U. the only team that beat old Mizzou?
The Tigers were confident after their easy 9-2 win over Kansas at Columbia Friday. Fortune had smiled upon them with an unbroken string of sixteen victories. They were invinible! And so it's no wonder Missouri's men-o-the-diamond suffered a jolt when their last game Saturday was taken ruthlessly away from them in the last imminent, 4-3.
It was one of those ninth-inning-climax games you sometimes see at the movies—except it was vivid with reality. Kansas scored first, but Missouri hit it up. Each team added a tally in the sixth, and clinched for victory.
Then along came the fateful ninth. The customary two outs had been made and the melo-dramatic hull was in evidence when Smith came up. He stepped off the plane. Carter then stepped to the plate. He didn't ask any questions, but delivered the goods—a single over second. Whereupon Poirier got a bright idea. "Why not win my own game?" he asked. I thought he. Plausible, isn't it? Well he hit a two-bagger to left, scoring Smith, and the game was won.
"Poirier simply had 'em on the hip," said Nick Carter, after the game. "The Tiger stands and bleachers stood up in the seventh and again in the ninth and gave their Tiger yell, excitement." The tension. The stands went wild every time Poirier delivered a ball, but the K. U. pitcher never wavered."
Pratt's one-handed stab of a hot one at short was a feature. He quickly tagged a runner between second and third and came near catching the man at first. Gilmer's three-base hit for Missouri, but Poirier held the heavy Tiger hitters safe in all the other pinches.

Craig was hit heavily in Friday's game, whereupon Poirier relieved him in the fourth and twisted classey ball. The Parisi lead was too big to be overcome.

Spring basketball practice has been discontinued, according to Coach Dutch Uhrlaub. Dutch said he did not believe he was accomplishing enough because the interest in the war has been growing from practice. Sixteen or more candidates reported before this country entered the war.
The most prevalent question among the K. U. track followers at present is: "How did Nebraska beat us?" A few have hardly recovered their normal breathing since learning that Captain Rodkey was beaten in the half mile and Stateler was beaten in the two-mile, Captain Rodkey said if he had not entered the quarter mile he could probably have won in his speeches. Stateler also ran and was short of stamina for the two-mile. The track followers here still believe that both men will make good their records at the All-Missouri Valley Conference meet at Ames, Iowa next Saturday.
The Jayhawk baseball players finished up their schedule Saturday by defeating the Tigers at Columbia. This game was also the last of Missouri's schedule and was the only defeat of the season. Kansas really

CORNHUSKERS DEFEAT
JAYHAWK TRACKSTERS
Nebraska Upset Dope and Carry Away Victory to Tune of 72 to 37
of 72 to 37
The Cornhuskers used the Valley track dope Friday afternoon by winning the Kansas-Nebraska dual track meet at Lincoln, Nebraska, 72 to 37. Kansas succeeded in taking but three firsts while Nebraska scooped twelve.
Capt. Fred Rodkey said the reason Kansas lost the meet was that all the Kansas trackers "blew up" with the exception of Sproull and Gretzmann, said up to their usual form by taking three places in their respective events.
Sproull broke his record by winning the mile in 4 minutes 31 4-5 seconds. The K. U. record is 4 minutes 31 1-5 seconds. Grutzmacher, the little K. U. broad-jump flier, bled his own record and came within three-fourths of an inch of breaking the Missouri Valley Conference record by winning first place on a flight of 23 feet to 3-4 inch. The Missouri Valley Conference record is 23 feet 1-1 2 inches. Kansas had no competition ni the pole vault.
Werner was the big point maker for the Cornhusker team and also of the meet. Besides winning the 100 and 200-day dashes he threw, he pitched to his team for five place in the high jump, and was a member of the Nebraska relay team.
Nebraska wanted to run the half mile relay but the Kansas coach did not have his relay team and as this team had no success, the score of 77 to 37 was not correct.
Owen, Nebraska sprinter, was the "thriller" of the meet. In the 440-yard run, with a sudden spurt of speed, he nosed out Captain Rodkey at the tape by about six inches. He also ran the final quarter of the mile relay. In making the last turn he threw a shoe but finished the race and overcame Sproull's lead. The summaries:

The man running the motor boat said it was "fine weather, just cool enough to be comfortable." The fellow in the canoe considered it "a little warm." The person in the row boat declared it "was hot," and the individual in the nondescript tub maintained it was sweltering.
One poor fellow had to do the superlative, so he said the weather was as hot as a synonym for Hades. He was in a motor boat and lost the platinum points about two miles on the other side of Cameron's. He carried the proof in his hands that he got his date back for a three-thirty train.
