In the state house today there is a
rumor that the governors former
private secretary has gone to Boston
town to study political conditions as
they exist in New England. Another
is to the effect that Reed is making

Chances at Kansas Championship.

Ottawa, Kan. Feb. 1S.-The Ottawa
Baptists put an end to Washburn's
championship ambitions here tonight
by trouncing Washburn, 40 to 81. The
Ichabods were leading at the end of
the first half, % TO II, but in the sec
ond half they were entirely at. the
mercy of the Ottawans. The locals
forged ahead early in the final period
and led the rest of the game. In the
last ten minutes of play tho game was
decidedly one-sided. The Ottawa team
went wild while Washburn was unable
to score a point. One unusual feature
in the game was that LIE Grand and
Davis, Ottawa's guards. scored nearly
as many field goals as the forwards.
