Spectators attempt to put out a small fire that started in the gym at Sterling College, Sterling, Kan., Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014. Shortly before the scheduled 8 p.m. start of a game between Sterling and Tabor colleges, Sterling's Gleason Center filled with smoke and forced the building to be evacuated. The game initially was delayed for 30 minutes and all spectators were asked to leave while the maintenance staff looked for the source of smoke.
