The Tigers ended two-day series
with the University Of Oklahoma last
night by overwhelming the Sooners.
53-1s. The score was big but the the
game was fast and clean, at that.
Time after time the Sooners worked
the ball to their end of the court;
then they lacked accuracy in caging
the ball.
Williams of Missouri made the first
score by free throw and the Tigers
held the lead throughout the game.
The first half was marked by fast
floor work and couple of sensational
baskets by McDermott of Oklahoma.
The period ended with the Tigers
leading, 1910.
In the second half Captain Ruby OF
Missouri, by caging seven goals In
rapid succession, put the Tigers far
in the lead. From that point on, the
Sooners were played off their feeet.
In the last three minutes of play Di-
rector w. E. Meanwell ran in an en-
tire second team-Shroeder, TrumbO,

able to hold their own with the Okla

OF q Sprained Ankle.

Leslie Wackher, star basketball
guard and baseball man probably will
be out of the basketball game for the
rest of the season, because of a
sprained ankle suffered during the
contest with the Sooners Wednesday
night.
Wackher is playing his second
year on the, Varsity. He made good
his first year. He was originally
played at forward but was shifted to
guard. When the men were picked
for all-valley honors in 1917 Wackher
was among those picked for the sec
ond team. Such men as Laslett Of
X. u, Clark of the Aggies and Slush-
er of NJ. U. were in the running for
those hOnOrs that year.
Wackher is from the Sedalia High
School. DIR. W. E. Meanwell says
Wackher should be the all-Valley
guard this year for he is about the
most consistent all-arOund player in
the Valley.
