The 1933 Kansas University basketball team poses in this file photo. The 1933 team won the Big Six Conference title for the third consecutive season and registered the program's 400th victory.
Before a good crowd of K.U. students and townspeople sprinkled with legislators and members of the state board of regents the Kansas Jayhawkers last night made a clean sweep of their intersectional series with Stanford's basketball entry and trounced the westerners 34 to 28.
Box score — Kansas 34, Stanford 28
Good Work by Vanek
Goal shooting by Vanek enabled the Jayhawkers to finish the initial half ahead 16 to 12 but Dr. Allen had kept Bill Johnson, star center, on the sidelines for most of the first half and this worthy was just getting the swing of the game when the half ended.
Johnson came back in the second frame to finish with six field goals and two free throws for high point honors.
About midway of the second half the crowd got a thrill when the score was knotted at 22-all and for a time the game might have gone either way but Johnson drove to the basket for a set-up which broke the tie. With seven minutes remaining Captain Tom Cordry of the visitors tossed a free throw which again tied things up at 25-all on a foul by Wells.
Wells redeemed himself with a short shot which broke the tie and then Johnson quickly accounted for two field goals which put the game on ice.
The Stanford cagers were guarding closer last night and forced the set Jayhawker offense to such an extent that Referee Quigley gave the ball to the visitors under the 10 second rule on several occasions.
Stanford Meets Nebraska
Captain Cordry led his mates in scoring with 12 points and Hancock, a guard, was close behind with 9. The Stanford cagers left this morning for Lincoln, Neb., where they will meet Nebraska in an exhibition game tonight. The Jayhawkers won the first two games from Stanford 38 to 20 and 38 to 17.
K.U. will now concentrate on preparing for the opening Big Six battle with Nebraska which is carded for the auditorium here Friday night.
Notes of the game
• The Lawrence high school band which has furnished the music for the Kansas-Stanford series was replaced after the preliminary last night by the K.U. band. Byron C. Donmyer's ears were probably burning last night if he heard many of the fine compliments paid his high school musical organization.
• Coaching the Holton high basketball team which lost to Lawrence high in the preliminary is Art Lawrence, former star Jayhawker football player. Lawrence's Holton high football team won the championship of the Big Seven conference last fall and was runner-up during the 1931 season.
• Glimpsed in the crowd of spectators: Roland Roynton, state's attorney general, who has become an ardent court fan; George Netlles and Frank Mandeville, both members of the Kansas football team which tied Nebraska 20 to 20 back in 1920 when Nettles was captain and played tackle and Mandeville was a halfback and made the touchdowns; Billy Miller, of Topeka, a member of the K.U. athletic board; Fred Harris, of Ottawa, and Ralph T. O'Neil, Topeka, both members of the state board of regents; U.S.G. Plank, deputy county clerk, who has been playing around with K.U., high school and Haskell athletics for many years and still likes it.
