which neither team seemed to be real
~ at itself, Kansas university defeated
Washburn last night at The Rink by
the close score of y to 19.
The wearers of the crimson made
the Sons of Ichabod look like novices
during the first half. toying with them
as does a playful kitten with a feather,
and sending them to their ten minutes
rest during the intermission with the
black outlook of a score of Is to
against them.
Typical of the Topeka college. it's
team came back in the second round
ike reincarnated being. with the
Vtgor and ginger it always displays
when defeat is staring it in the face.
Washburn became the kitten, and
Kansas the feather. The "state-feds''
went down beneath the awakened blue
like so many ten-pins. The game be-
came rough and considerable feeling
was displayed Penalties were Tre-
quently imposed. Time was taken out
Tor slight injuries But the Washburn
team romped off with the half by a
score Of 2 to z in its favor and was
oulplaylng the visitors at every point
of the game when the whistle blew.

hand passing, they made score after
score Washburn seemed to be de-
mOrallzed, its team standing like mum
mics while the issue was being de-
cided against them. Glenn Millice got
busy with a little coaching tactics. He
began to 'exhort" the team Ito come
out of it, and just before the half
closed he succeeded in his effort, with
the result that the team stopped the
Kansas string of baskets and gath
cred in one of its own. In this half
Kansas got two points from fouls and
Washburn one. The play was very
clean throughout the half and contain
ed little rough work. The fOulinE as
a rule was almost minimized.
Just as its athletic teams have be
come noted for doing. Washburn came
back in the second half with its eyes
cooked for blood. The stvle Of play
was changed from fancy passing and
occasional Shaping on the wrists to a
slap-bang fighting affair. Collisions
were as numerous as holes on Kansas
avenue. Players We're scattered about
the floor after almost every. close scrim-
mage. Fouls were inflicted repeatedly.
The dishOnors in this regard were about
even, although WashbLrn proved to be
the more lucky in throwing baskets
Eldon Tice proved a star at this work
He threw six out of eight chances.
Kansas threw four out Of nine chances.
Kansas did not throw a single goal
during this half, while Nashburn got
two.
Mniice and Tice both had to take
out time. The former got a stiff punch
i'm the nose, while the latter had the
wind knocked out Of him. Captain
Miller of Kansas got a jolt in the
ribs and went to the floor and side lines
for a rest. All resumed playing, how
ever after taking out the time limit
