Now how do the Kaws compare
with the teams they have played ?
They are split with the Grizzlies, but
| the Bears Walloped Wichita ana
Wichita walloped Topeka. By the
seven games better than Topeka, but
| by the direct route Topeka is as good
as Denver and by the score route
good deal better. Then by the Den
yer route Topeka is two games bet
| ter than Wichita and by the Lincoln
route one game better. Through DEN
yer, Topeka is three games better than
Lincoln and by direct contact one
game Better And through Lincoln,
the Kaws are four games better than
Denver. but they split on the two
games played. Through Topeka Dem
yer is three games better than Lin
coin and Wichita is. six games better
than Lincoln and five games better
than Denver. oh, what's the use!
