Lead in Second Half, But
Visitors Forge Ahead and
Cop Contest, 24 to 19.
Drs Moines university Tigers
clawed over the dope bucket' Friday
night when they outplayed " the
Creighton university quintet at
Creighton gymnasium and won by
the score of 24 to 1. Throughout
the contest tlie visitors displayed
, good basket ball and broke up Mul
holland's teamwork, while they
themselves got . away time and
again to shoot baskets. Coach Bell's
lioopsters had the edge on the locals
from the outset and seemed to be,
able to diagnose the lattcr's play as
. t they were started and to success
fully cope with them. .It is the first
' defeat for Creighton this season.
From the moment Behan, lanky
Des Moines tosrer, shot the first
field goal of the game, the visitors
were on top and seeming to feel
that this game meant. a great deal,
.' they were not to be stopped, but tore
through their opponents to count up
a winning score
Locals Have Oft Night.
On the other hand, Creighton
seemed to have an off night. The
Blue and W hite athletes failed to
show the brand of teamwork and
basket shooting that featured
their play against the University of
South Dakota, Yankton and Okla-
Choma. Captain Kearney -vas injured
during the first half aivd this, too,
helped to slow up the work of the,
r locals.
Burnette's Guarding Feature.
v Burnette's' guarding- featured the
" game in the defensive department.
while Jnox and- tieiian snowed up
well at basket shooting. Tbe floor
work of Knox was the feature of
the game. This Tiger forward
dribbled through the entire Creigh
ton team time and again until he got
close enough to the basket to shoot.
The winners played a good passing
game throughout. ;
Kearney was the star of Crcigh
tpn's part in the game. He appeared
to be off-form, but despite this
played a good contest and was
fighting harf from start to "finish.
Wise and Condon also played well.
