Superiority at Basketball
Over Davenport.
SHUT OUT FIRST HALF 16 To
Final Score IS to S-High School
Boys Win From the Y. NJ.
G. A. Team.

Two exceptionally fine games of
basketball. both resulting in favor of
the local high school. were witnessed
last evening at the high school gym
nasium. The Rock Island high school
girls won from Davenport high school
by a score of Is TO S, and the high
school boys won from the Y. NJ. c. a.
team to the tune of rs to 20.
The girls game began with field
basket for Rock Island and continued
a series of baskets for the same side.
The Davenport girls fought determin-
eddy. The score showed 10 to o at the
end of the first half. Fourteen of
these points were made by the basket
forward. Blanche Smith. All the girls
deserve honorable mention, especially
Gail Postlewaite, the basket guard.
Not a foul was called on the Rock ISL
and girls during the first half-a note
worthy record. Their team work was
also extremely fine. At the end of the
first half Miss Otto, who played CEN
ter for Davenport. was injured, not
seriously. but so that she was taken
out and Miss Morgan put in her place.
The Davenport guards changed places
and apparently their team was great
" strengthened. The Rock Islanders
seemed TO have lost their ability to
make baskets, and 20 minutes more
playing brought the score to Is to s.

the advantage, but the advantage did
not extend to basket throwing. The

The Boys Game.
The boys game was interesting and
well played. The score says that the
high school boys had far the best of
the bargain, but the first half was
very close up to the last few minutes
of play. At the end it stood 20 to Is.
The second half was more one-sided,
the score being is to 5. Of the high
school boys, Sullivan and Morrison
deserve especial praise, though every
man played his part in a highly cred
table manner. Lift made some very
pretty baskets. The lineup of the
boys teams was:
