Season
Two Contests With Washington Five at St. Louis Ends Season
The Jayhawker quintet was eliminated from the race for the Missouri Valley Conference basketball championship Wednesday and Thursday in the Rowehill gymnasium by the scores of 24-20 and 38-15.
FIRST GAME CLOSE
The game was a nip-and-tuck affair from start to finish with the Tigers leading with a margin of two points in each half. Kansas started at one considerable lead in the first few minutes of play, but during the latter part of the half the Tigers struck their stride and overcame the Jayhawker's lead. The half ended with a victory, ending at 12:10 in favor of the Tigers.
The first game was fast and exciting and was played before the largest crowd that has turned out to see a baseball game at Columbia this year.
The Jayhawkers took another spurt at the start of the second half and held the Tigers to an even game. First the Tigers would lead for a minute or so and then the Jayhawker quintet would jump into the lead. Kansas held a two-point lead with only two minutes to play.
In these last two minutes of play, the Tiger five took a wonderful spurt, and Shedarl, Campbell, and Captain Williams bagged a field goal each in rapid succession giving the Tigers a four-point lead which Kansas could not overcome. The game ended with the score standing at 24-20.
UHRLAUB and LASLETT STAR
Rudolf Uhrlaub and Scrubby Laslett
showed up the best for Kansas.
Uhrlaub made ten of the twenty
points for Kansas by bagging one field
basket and eight free ones out of a
possible twelve. Laslett was next
with two field baskets.
Captain Fred Williams, the star it, the Missouri-Kansas games here, was the greatest point-getter for the Tigers with three field baskets and six free throws. He was excellent on ball, right forward, but next, by caging four field goals.
The Tiger five came back strong in the game yesterday afternoon and put up a comfortable start to finish, the final score being 38 to 16 in favor of the Tigers.

SPORT BEAMS
Lefty Sproull, former K. U. basketball star, was trying his hand at hitting long goals from the center of the basketball court Wednesday. Lefty averaged one out of three at this distance.
Several men were working out for tennis in the Gymnasium this week.
The sophomore gymnasium class meeting at four-thirty has been turned into an esthetic dancing class. Practically all of the second-year music classes are busy working on the dancing class, which is directed by James B. McNaught, c17.
The sport writer on the Ottawa Herald says: "The Ottawa girls were somewhat outclassed in teamwork, and one goal shooter on the visiting team, Querfeld, who did not play the first half, was brilliant, but she was pretty well covered after a few minutes of play. However, she succeeded in getting seven field goals in the last half."
The next big events in women's athletics are the interclass swimming meets. Every woman in the University who wishes to try out for the meets should report to Coach Hazel Pratt at once.
The warm weather yesterday afternoon again brought out the "baseball bugs" and they appeared throughout the student section of Lawrence. Two of the baseball enthusiasts were actually seen playing with a rubber ball. Coach McCarty is expecting an all victorious baseball nine this year.
The Jayhawker quintet will play their last two games of the season against the Washington University St. Louis, tonight and tomorrow night.
Kansas is now out of the race for the Missouri Valley Conference basketball championship, and the race is now between Missouri and the Aggies. The two teams are about evenly matched and the probability is they will split the two-game series at Columbia, March 5 and 6.
The Jayhawker women basketball players closed their schedule Wednesday night when they played the Ottawa University sextet at Ottawa.
Prof. S. J. Hunter has gone to Topeka to discuss appropriations for state entomology work with the Ways and Means Committee.

TRACK MEN ARE BUSY PREPARING FOR MEETS
Twelve men have been entered in the Illinois meet at Urbana, March 3, but probably only six or eight men will be taken on the trip. The men who will make the trip will be selected according to their relay teams will be the mainstay of the triad which will take the triumph.
Athletes Entered in Contests at Urbana and Kansas City March 3
There will probably be twenty-five men entered in the K. C. A. C meet on the same date. Any freshman who does unusual work between now and the meet will be taken to Kansas City by Coach Hamilton and entered in the meet as unattached. Last winter several freshmen from K. U. Won places in this meet. There will be two handicap events, the Ivy League and the Men's Golf shot. Respect will always a feature of this meet and Kansas will have a relay team picked from the men who do not go to the Urbana meet that night.
Vernson and Fiske, two Varsity football men last season, were out tossing the shot Wednesday afternoon. Burch also did some good heaving. All three averaged around the same distance. Pattinson is going higher every day in his work at the pole vault.
Try-outs for the two mile relay team which will be taken to the Illinois Invitation meet will be held Monday afternoon in the gymnasium.
The Varsity distance track men spent Wednesday and Thursday running easy halves. Wednesday the men were running to get their correct stride and wind. Thursday practically all of the distance men attained in 2.10 and the runner's time varied from 2:00 to 2:12 for this distance.
Miss Bernice White, of Mankato, is spending a few days in Lawrence visiting with friends at the University. Miss White was a student at Loyola University, but was compelled to stop on account of the ill health of her mother.
Rice is still handicapped on account of the arm which he injured several weeks ago. Trewele has been resting up on account of a badly sprained leg he injured in practice just before the cancelled Aggie meet. Seward was out doing some hurdling Wednesday afternoon.

A second class in boxing will be organized at Room 105, Robinson Gymnasium, Monday afternoon at 4:30, according to Prof. C. B. Harrison of the department of physical education. One class of twenty members was organized some time ago, but the demand for boxing has become so great that it has been found necessary to organize another.
TOURTELOT TO ORGANIZE
SECOND CLASS IN BOXING
Coach McCarty wants every man in the University who has had experience at either of the battery positions and who is eligible for the Varsity to come out for the early practices so he will be able to develop a battery that will mean defeat to the rest of the Missouri Valley nines.
Captain Smee, Fischer, Vorhees, Bailey, Baker, and Bell came out for the twirling position, while Carter, O'Reilly, and Allen took the receiving positions.
Halleck Craig and Constant Poirier, K men on last year's pitching staff, were not out for practice but will come out the first of the week, according to Coach McCarty. There is plenty of coach for more pitches and catchers.
WORK OUT FOR BATTERY
Get there early-open at seven—and get the best seats.
Roy Tortelot, who is instructing the class already organized, will have charge of the new class. The class meet Tuesday and Friday at 4:30
The new baseball material has not been received yet, but it probably will be here in time for the practice Monday afternoon.

(NEXT WEDNESDAY AT BOWERSOCK)
The Manager of the Dramatic Club admits that he doesn't know everything about the production of plays. Which is unusual for a D. C. manager. So he is going to give you a chance to capitalize on his mistakes—hence the prize offered.
Instructions and Rules
1. Go to the Round Corner Drug Store tomorrow morning and buy the best possible seat.
2. Watch every detail in the production of "Under Cover" and see where the effect could have been made better or where the desired result was lost. If a thing is overlooked, be sure and tell us about it.
3. If you like the show and think that everything was fine and that it was as good or better than you would expect from an amateur company, don't be afraid to say so. A kindly criticism will have just as much as show one that tears the production to shreds.
4. Use white paper and write on one side only, using a typewriter if possible.
5. Sign you name PLAINLY and mail before March 5th to FRANK H. McFARLAND, Mgr.
