last winter. At that time the results
both contests hands down. Agai on
Saturday night the boys from Kansas
proved themselves easily the supeF1ors
of their COrnhusker brethren at the
game. It was not so with the girls.
Several of the crack team which rep
resented the Topeka high school last
year, graduated in June. With the
exception of the captain. and entire
new team. supported the old gold and
black this season. In another year IL
will take the best of them to beat
these girls, but they need more train
ing and team work. That can only
come. however, with time. They show
speed and willingness, but lack educa-
ton in the finer points of the game,
namely, cross court passing, and back
hand throwing when interfered with
for a goal.
On the other hand the Lincoln girls
brought almost the same team as last
year. The familiar calls for Mabel

must still have the same team. And
that was true with but one exception.
The Nebraska girls played a beautiful

played the Topeka maids off their rub
ber-tired feet, gaining a lead of sever
points before stopped. Then the local
maids got busy and took things in
charge. The half ended with a score
of 13 to Is.
The second half almost proved a
repetition of the first. Again the
visitors took a running jump and lead.
They hustled things along, and the
Topeka girls were unable to catch up.
Before the contest was ended both
sids were very tired. A little squirt
just before time was called livened up
things a little bit, but it did not last
long. The nal score: Lincoln 80,
Topeka %.
But when it comes to boys basket
bail teams, Lincoln has to take a back
seat The boys from William Jennings
Bryan's state cannot trot with the
Kansas quality. The aggregation from
the Topeka High school outplayed the
visitors two to one. The final score,

of the visitors points by actual count

Topeka team, whose members frequent

showed himself to be a basketball

mates did not follow his pace at all. On
the other hand the five Topeka bOyS

Griggs, especially in goal throwing,
stood out prominently. Hope was close
behind him. Reeds daShing work was
noteworthy and popular with the crowd.
The first half ended with a score of IS

made but three less points than their
victors. but the latter fouled with re-
peatedly disastrous effects.
Previous to the games, the girls of
the High school put on a circus parade

4 white elephant. a few and q
lot of girls composed the show. Miss
Pauline Marshall acted as ring master
and kept things moving.
The Girls Glee club sang several
numbers. The Boys Glee club of the
Topeka High school was also put on
the program, and when you get right

well.
