High school Basketball Team Loses to
Kana City.

Tor the second time in the same day
the basketball teams OF topeka Went
down to defeat under the superior
playing Of the visiting teams when o
neka High school was defeated last
night by the team from the Central
High school of Kansas City by a score
Of 81 to is.
DURING the first half of the game it
appeared to be anybody's game all the
way through, as first one team was IN
the lead and then the other and when
the half was finished there was d1I-
ference of but two points, the game
standing u to 10 in favor of the team
from Kansas city.
The first half Of the game was mark
ed by spirited playing by both teams
and It would have been hard PROPOSE
ton to say who had put up the best
game UP to the time that the first half
was called. There were several bril-
liant plays on the part Of the contest
ants on each team and to have made
prediction SIS to who would nave Deen
the winner of the game would have
been a guess and nothing else 1t was
true that the Topeka team had the
better of the applause, but that was
easily accounted for by the fact that
they were playing at home.
Just about as soon as time was called
for the second half of the game, kan
sas City began to show topeka that
they did not understand the ruoiments
Of the game. The first thing THAI they
did was to hand them a deld goal
which they repeated three or four
times in quick succession, besides
throwing in q few free goals as good
measure. Topeka did not seem 10
relish this treatment but for some rea-
son they did not seem to have a remedy
at hand.
Topeka's team was weak on free
goals and out OF numerous free tries
but few goals were scored the basket
either being too small or not in the
right place. In this particular feat the
team from the city at the mouth OF
the KaW was particularly proficient
and they seemed to be able to land the
ball In the pouch whenever they took
q notion to. Aside from the free trials
the Kansas City team had Topeka
beaten about as far as a stretch of the
imagination viii permit. They out
batted them, out heIded them and beat
them running bases from the time that
the first ball was pitched until time
was called at the end OF the last in
ming.
There were just 113 people in at
tendance at the game and the fact that
there was a thirteen connected with
the count may excuse the Topeka boys
for what happened to them. but there
was one other thing and that was the
lack of scores on account OF their in
ferior playing.
The feature Of the game from the
standpoint of the Kansas City High
sch OOl was the field goals which were
pitched by Goldman, which amounted
I'm the final summary to eight. If there
was any feature work on the part of
any member of the Topeka team it
belongs to COblentz.
The line up Of the game was as fol-
lows
Central High school-Minton, for
ward; Goldman, forward; Shafer, cen
ter Longworthy, guard Sutherland

Topeka High school-Mooney for
ward Coblentz, forward; Thayer, cen
