Mr. Lotholz caught a severe cold when he attended the fu-I tlirowers, while the Chanute girls had the team work, but failed on baskfets. It was as- pretty an exhibition of the girls game as has been seen in Lawrence.Most of the teams stayed for tlie final game, so that there was an audience of several hundred high school students, as well as a large . audience of university rooters onHalstead by a scare of 2 to 1 and the big loving cup went to the chain pions of last year.Halstead had a large bunch of rooters here and they like to went wild when their team was returne victors. JThis makes two straight years they have gone through without a defeat. They returned home' yesterday by special Pullman, andbasketball team of that school. They had merelv come home to help their home team cut. Manager Lansdon at once disqualified them.
