Nets 7 Field Goals Second
and Last Conflict Here
at 7:30 Tonight.
When William Olivtr Hamilton and
his Jajhawk basket tossers came to
Columbia jesterdaj-, the Tigers got
their first scare of the 1916 season,
but the Missouri basket shooting was
superior to tlie Kansas brand last
night, and Von Gent's men cleared
another hurdle in the Vallej cham
pionship race. The score was 30 to
24
The Javhawk fight of the past has
usuallj resulted successfully on the
basketball court Perhaps it was be
cause the meinnrj of these defeats of
other jears bore heavilv on their
minds that eterans like Speelman.
the Tiger guard, couldn't keep track
of tiie sluftv Gibbons, and Captain
Wear got almost groggj enough for
the count earh m the spcnml Imlf I
Hut to the joungster Campbell there
were no remembrances of other jears
He was pla.viug his first game against
an ancient en mj And, although he
was somewhat oil form, it is to this
Tiger forward and his seven success
ful attempts at the net that -Missouri
roo ers owe homage for almost half
the total score.
.Score Close Ml the Time.
During the entire game the score
was close, a field goal or a free throw
usuall shifting the advantage from
one team to the other.
At the end of the first half the
Tigers led b a point, 14 to 1:!. Hut
during the intermission the whisper
ings of William Oliver, who is some
what of a basketball wizard, put new
life into the Kansans, and for ten
minutes the crowd of l.SOn In despair
saw not onlj a well-nursed cham
pionship hope blotted out but also
Missouri losing to Kansas
And then, with the score 20 to 17
against them, the Tigers made it an
evcii count on both sides. Pande
monium seldom reigns in Columbia,
but one of these times is when Mis
souri is winning from Kansas. The
Tigers were winning when they tied
the score last night, and the crowd
realized the fact. In the last four
minutes of play the Missouri superi
ontj was evident. Campbell's four
goals and one each by Williams and
Wear brought the count to the final 30.
Short Pass 'ot Successful. j
For the first time this season Van
Gent's short-pass stjle of play did
not work well for the Tigers, but the
fault was more with the men than
with the sjstem To Hamilton's men
mils' be given tlie credit of the best
guarding seen on the Missouri court
this jear At the goal shooting end
of the game, the Jaj hawkers were ex-
ceedlnglj weak To the shifty Gib
bons fell the brunt of the Kansans'
attack, and he carried it well. On
onlj one plajer were two fouls called.
The officiating, in the hands of Qulg
Iey and Low man, was of the best.
The teams will play again at 7:30 !
o clock tonight.

"The train supposed to leave it at
Centralia carried it to Moberly, and
another train supposed to bring it
back to Centralia carried it clear to
St Louis," said V K. Karsteter, mo
tion picture manager at the Columbia
Theater, more than a thousand times
last night. He was speaking of the
film of 'Carmen," which was to have
been shown here last night. He was
talking to the hundreds of Theda Hara
enthusiasts who flocked to the thea
ter intending to see their favorite
"vampire" actress.
"Hut." continued Mr Karsteter,
"there will be a matinee Thursday af
ternoon and two shows Thursday
night. We did not know or the delay
until C o'clock in the evening, and it
was then too late to announce it in
the papers. I'm sorry, but this is the
first time such a delay has occurred
since we started showing here, and
it may not occur again in twenty
jears "
