The 1925 Kansas University basketball team poses in this file photo. The 1925 Jayhawks picked up the program's 300th victory. The victory came in February against Iowa State as part of a 13-game winning streak.
The University of Kansas annexed another victory in Robinson Gymnasium last night by defeating the Iowa State College cagers from Ames by a score of 33 to 18. The victory puts the Jayhawkers at the top of the Missouri valley conference again, at least until Wednesday night when they meet the Grinnell cagers on the Robinson court.
Box score — KU 33, Iowa State 18
The visitors held the crimson and blue five to one field goal in first half, but the Ames players fouled eight times, and the Jayhawkers took advantage of this break and scored seven points via the free toss method. The half ended with the Ames crew leading by a count of 10 to 9. Coach Bill Chandler pointed his men against Captain Ackerman and Peterson, center, in an attempt to slow up the Kansas scoring machine.
The Ames mentor's plans worked out to good advantage in the initial period of the fray, but in the second half the two Kansas stars broke through and began to hit the basket. Shortly after the opening of the second period Ackerman connected up with the hoop twice for four counters which were quickly followed by another field goal by Peterson, giving the Jayhawkers a five point margin over the visitors. The crimson and blue team was never in danger after the first few minutes of the second half.
Ackerman was high point man of the game with five field goals and five free tosses. Arnold was the high scorer for the Ames cagers with two field goals and two charity tosses.
Through the Hoop
• Once again the Jayhawkers lead the Valley. At least until Coach Charlie Black brings his Pioneers to Lawrence for a game.
• The aJyhawkers (sic) can be thankful that they were off form last night if they play like that against Grinnell the score may be different.
• During the entire first half the crimson and blue five made only one field goal despite the fact that they had numerous shots.
• On the other hand the Cyclones were "hot". They were making from all distances and angles. Jacobsen, lanky center, led the offense of the visitors.
• "Tiny" Engel made the first field goal of the evening a second after the initial whistle but it did not count. Mr. Quigley saw an Ames man foul the Kansas player. The youth was determined to make the first point of the game and he dropped in a free throw.
• "Frenchy" Belgard surprised himself and everybody else last evening when he dropped in a field goal. The former Newton star played a nice aggressive game and broke up the Cyclone attack numerous times.
• Coach Chandler's men used the man-to-man style of attack and it bothered the Jayhawkers considerable as they were used to play the zone style.
