Kansas Defeats Baker By Score of 33 to 30 In Initial Home Game
Jayhawkers Didn't Liven Up Until Last Few Minutes of Play
Methodists Have Fast Five
Both Teams Played Loosely and Were Especially Erratic on Free Throws
Kansas defeated the fast baker quintet in Robinson gym Friday night, 33 to 20, in the opening home game of the basketball season. The contest was marked by occasional rogue work on the part of both teams and by the wild passing of the Jaya-hawkers. Only in the last few minutes of the first half did Conch Wiley Hamilton's men show the broad of basket ball that they displayed in the first game with Ames week ago.
Bunn started the scoring by caging a field goal in the first minute of play. R. Wellborn evened the score with a pair of free throws and then Baker forged ahead when Nevin shot a goal from the field. Matthews scored for Kansas and McDonald shot a long basket for Baker's second field goal. The game continued to be a see-saw affair with Baker having the edge on the scoring until the half was almost finished, when by a succession of short, accurate passes, the Jayhawkers worked the ball under their own goal and Bunn and Lonborg scored three times before the Baldwin team's defense recovered.
KANSAS LED IN FIRST HALF
the teamwork of the Crimson and Blue five in the last few minutes of the first half was excellent, but wild passes earlier in the period lost Kansas several chances to score. Baker also missed several easy shots at the basket and the half ended with the count 23-17 for Kansas. Kansas played for three minutes and then rested five minutes through much of the game.

Wellborn partly closed the gap by tossing a pair of free throws. Donald brought applause by making a pretty shot from near the center of the court and followed it up with a shorter one. Baker fought hard in the last few minutes in a desperate effort close the gap and long shots by McDonald brought the college quintet to within three points of the Kansas score when the game closed.
