RENO AND STERLING PLUCKED THE PLUMS
In Big Basket Ball Tournament Which Closed on Saturday
BOYS' FINISH WAS ROUSING
Meet Most Successful Ever—Losers
All Lost Well—Bigger Event
Next Year.
The Sixth Annual Basket-ball Tournament of the high schools of the state of Kansas closed Saturday night, Reno County winning the championship in the boys' division and Sterling in the girls'.
The tournament was well contested from beginning to end and was interesting throughout. The winners easily excelled all other teams in their divisions and there was no cause for any hard luck claims.
The losers in practically every case accepted defeat gracefully and a large number of visiting students could see to the finals Saturday night.
Much enthusiasm was manifested throughout the entire tournament, and the prospects are that next year the tournament will be bigger than ever. All the teams, winners and losers, went home well satisfied with their treatment. The tournament was a success in every way.
After the necessary elimination of the poorer teams and more unfortunate entries the second round of the boys' division returned Chanute, Independence, Halstead, Wichita, Baldwin, Reno, Lawrence and Winfield as winners. In the girls' group Elsworth, Bonner Spring, Almont, Sterling, and Chanute came out victorious.
Real Contest Third Round. With the third round came the real contests of the tournament. The drawing decided that Reno Co., Holdwin, the two favorites for the championship, should meet each other.
Next to the final game this was the best game of the tournament. Baldwin had the advantage by far in height and was touted to win. Reno had confidence, level heads, and smooth team work.
No team on the court seemed able to break up Nickerson's fast and accurate manner of passing the ball.
Reno Stopped Baldwin.
At the end of the first half, despite the desperate defense of the Baldwin five, the Reno squad led by the score of 14 to 11, and this was soon increased to a seven point lead by the end of the second half, when Reno won, 30 to 23. Kinzer, and Potter starred for Baldwin. The other winners of the third round were Independence, Halstead, and Lawrence.
The semi-finals did not bring forth any important contests since the two stronger teams were pitted against the two weaker ones. Reno and Halsted won easily, Reno defeating Lawrence by the score of 41 to 24 and Halsted beating Independence, 26 to 18.
Sterling's Great Girls' Team.
In the meantime, Bonner Springs and Sterling had worked their way up to the finals in the girls' division which were played Saturday afternoon. Sterling outclassed Bonner, and won overwhelmingly, 30 to 9. The Sterling girls have the best
team ever seen upon the local court, according to Dr. Johnson's report after the game. Misses Sankee and Johnson starred for Sterling.
Snappy Game at Finish The finals of the boys' tournament were played off Saturday night and a large crowd turned out to see the deciding contest. Halstead 'had the ball,' said Wesley, half, and the period ended with Halstead on the long end of a 15 to 11 score.
At the opening of the second half, the Nickerson team took a brace. The score quickly was tied on beautiful goals by McFarland and Frisch, and the latter's free throw sent Reno ahead.
Reno Never Was Headed Again From this point, Reno never was headed, although Halstal showed a sudden spurt at the last, making four points in quick succession on two pretty goals by Captain Bard.
The spurt came too late, however,
and a minute later the pistol was
fired. The game ended with the
score 30 to 23 in Reno's favor.
Reno's Team Work Strong. Bard starred for Halstead, while Frisch, Appel, and McFarland scored three goals. The team won the teem work of the Nickerson lads was more in predominance than their individual playing.

A. Girl—Nine Pounds.
When the Kansas Cub stalled into the Industrial Research Laboratories today the first person he encountered was L. V. Redman, who holds the Karpen fellowship.
"Not a bit," replied Redman, and a huge and happy grin overspread his countenance.
The other Fellows laughed while Redman broke two test tubes and a beaker, blushed myey, and grinned some more.
One of the Fellows winked at the Cub. He stuck around. It was a girl, nine pounds, born Saturday night.

THESE ZOOLOGY ANTS WANTED A HAND-OUT
This is the story of a happy family of Hanaan, an instructor, and hand-out.
And it all happened in the University district.
Miss Nadine Nowlin, instructor in zoology, has the cony of ants for use in experiments, and feeds them on bananas, a diet which seems to agree with those models of industry. The other morning Miss Nowlin left home before hurried into her desk class and in her haste forgot the provender for her pets. It was too late to return home, so she stopped at the

No Present Opening For Allen.
Prof. E. A. Heilmann of the State Agricultural College is visiting the University today.
"My ants will stare unless I get a banana for them to eat," she said. She was referred to the house next door, which is on Louisiana. She went to a side door, and a woman opened the door.
"My ants will starve unless I get something for them to eat. Can you give me a banana?" Miss Nowlin said.
A look of pity appeared on the lady's face. Her heart was touched. "Why, you poor dear! Come right in and have a cup of coffee."

NOSED OUT MISSOURI BY A SINGLE POINT
Kansas Track Men Won Annual Indoor Meet 43 to 42
FIRST VICTORY IN 11 YEARS
Turning Point Came in Two-Mile Run, and Decision in a Ripping
That old Kansas fighting spirit won the eleventh annual indoor track meet with Missouri in Convention hall at Kansas City, Friday night, by the slender margin of a single point. The score was 43 to 12, but that lone point spelled victory for the Jay-hawker clan for the first time in the history of indoor meets with Missouri.
Relay.
Against Nicholson, captain of the Missouri team and an Olympic contest, it was impossible for Kansas to pull a first in either the high loss or high hurdles. In all of these, there was a close second place, however.
Kansas's hope lay in the distance runs, and the great work of Captain Patterson, Edwards, and Malcom-son decided the meet for Kansas.
2-Mile Run Turning Point.
The 2-mile run was really the turning point of the meet although the final status of the meet was not decided. Jayker Jawahiri relay team, in the last event, succeeded in distancing the Tigers.
In the 2-mile the four runners, Wickham and Terry for Missouri and Edwards and Malcomson for Kansas. The first ten laps of the twenty-four.
In the eleventh lap Terry of Missouri dropped to the rear and the others proceeded in the same order as before. In the thirteenth lap Edwards passed Wickham but on the next round Wickham again gained the lead. With a smile on his face Edwards sped past Wickham in the fifteenth and remained fully ten yards ahead for the rest of the race. In the excitement that followed this last spurt by Edwards, Malcomson, all unnoticed, was gaining upon him as he pushed back the burst of speed he passed the Tiger runner and the crowd cheered him as he shot the over line for second place in a great race. Wickham followed by several feet.
Kansas in Fine Condition. When it is considered that Kansas runners were entered in nearly three events each a realization of their splendid condition is gained. None of the men collapsed at the finish, while others did not enter for Missouri had to be carried off the track after the events. This is a feather for the training system of the Kansas coaches.
The half mile was the closest contest race for Kansas, Patterson winning the event by a close margin. Patterson was content to trail the Tiger until the last lap. On the start of this round of the arena the Jayhawker captain was fully five or six yards behind the Tiger. Both had a good sprint left but the Kansan demonstrated his superiority.
Mile Was Easy for Kansas. The mile run was the easiest of all for Kansas, Patterson and Edwards
