THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME IV.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 5, 1908.
TIGERS DEFEATED
JAYHAWKERS TAKE EXCITING GAME 21 TO 20.
"Billy" Miller did his usual "stunt" by taking the ball across the field time after time on a dribble and passing it for a goal. The first half ended 8 to 10 in favor of the visitors, but Kansas came back with the usual determination to win and goals by Woodward on long throws soon began to tell. The superior condition and guarding of the local team soon put the score 21 to 16.
Cheered to the finish, the Jayhawkers won the most exciting game of basket ball ever played in Robinson Gymnasium from the Tigers 21 to 20. From the time that Woodward tossed in the first basket from the field until the close of the last half the game was so close that a goal would have decided the contest.
Teamwork of Kansas Squad the Feature.—Same Teams Play Tonight.
Captain Henley then called on his men for a final effort and in the fierce contest of "indoor football" that followed, threw himself into the game and made two pretty field goals, when the timekeeper's gun closed the contest 21 to 20 in favor of the Jayhawkers.
No individual man is responsible for the victory but the credit is due to excellent teamwork. Every man worked for the interests of the University and no player played to the grandstand. The same teams play again tonight. Washburn comes Saturday and William Jewell closes the Jayhawker schedule Monday.
