UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
OPENING CONTEST
A KANSAS VICTORY
Orange and Black Five Badly Outclassed by Hamilton's Men.
SCORE: K. U., 45—BAKER, 18.
Local Men Showed Lack of Teamwork Due to Enforced Rest.—Red Brown The Star.
Coach Hamilton's varsity quintette easily won the opening struggle of the basket-ball season. The score was Kansas, 45; Baker, 18.
Baker Hopelessly Outclassed
The whole story of the game is told by the number of points scored by the competing teams. The visitors were hopelessly outplayed, they never had a chance. From the time "Red" Brown tossed the first basket for the University representatives until the final whistle sounded the Methodists were in the "also ran" column.
In the opening session, Kansas accumulated fourteen baskets for a total of 28 points while their opponents were gathering seven tallies.
The second period was marked by a slowing down of the Kansas machine. The Baker men played a better defensive game in this half and were more accurate in taking advantage of the local's fouls than before, scoring 11 points while Kansas was making 17. The Kansas men were tiring rapidly when the game ended.
Varsity Not Conditioned.
The lack of condition of the varsity men and the imperfect teamwork that was often displayed by them clearly demonstrated that the time lost from practice by the late lamented coal shortage had its effect. The speed and individual play, exhibited, however, points to the development of one of the greatest teams that ever represented the red and blue before the season's end
"Red" Brown was by far the star of the game. He scored a total of twenty-one points, all but one of which were made by goals from the field. Of the Baker team Captain Listen, at center, was the entire performance. He scored all but four of the visitors' tallies and was their strongest defensive player.
Kansas suffered because of fouls Stuckey was disqualified for fouling late in the second half and Baldwin took his place.

National Collegiate Athletic Association Did Not Overlook Bets.
NOTHING NEGLECTED
If there was any line of sport that was neglected by the national Collegiate Athletic Association in their recent meeting, the gentlemen of the committee request someone to mention it to them.
They, in theory of course, reformed the football rules, eradicated summer baseball, eliminated the professional coach, and abolished gate receipts at all college contests.
Not only this but they gave soccer football an established position as a college sport, forwarded the playground movement, aided the Sunday School leagues, and investigated the athletic standing of the Y. M. C. A. Then they departed to their respective seats of learning.

WILL CONTEND FOR CONFERENCE HONORS
Six Teams in Battle for Missouri Valley Basket-ball Struggle.
CONFERENCE IN DIVISIONS
Champions of the Southern Section Will Meet Northern Leaders in Final Three Game Struggle
The six schools of the Missouri Valley Conference are now bending their efforts toward the basket ball championship.
For the past four years the arrangement of the schedules has made possible the selection of a team whose right to the title could not be disputed. This result has been attained by the division of the conference two sections. In the northern division, Drake, Drake, and Ames. The schools in the southern half are Kansas, Missouri, and Washington.
Each team meets the others in its divisions four times during the season. When these games have been decided the division leader meets the champion of the other section. A three game series decides the team that shall hold the title.
Kansas has been valley champion for the past four years. Last season however, there was a cloud upon her title because of the fact that Nebraska won the majority of games played in the Cornhusker-Jayhawker series.
Kansas retained the conference honors as the Nebraska games were not championship contests. The reason for this was that the Cornhuskers were in the Northern division and therefore not proper opponents for a southern team in any but the final series of games.
If Kansas wins the southern title this year and Nebraska leads in the north, and this seems very probable, the two teams will meet seven times. Only the last three will be reckoned in deciding the championship.
Thus far there have been but two conference games played, Nebraska winning both from Drake. The games here Friday and Saturday should give a good line on the valley leadership.
The entire conference schedule is as follows:
