Williams to Lecture.

The Maroons of the Y. NJ. C. A. were
defeated by a score of 10 to Is last
evening at Muscatine by the Company
c.. basketball team of that city The
game was a rough one. and Company
c. employees a very different style of
playing from that used by the Rock
Island boys. The N1aroons were hand
| icapped, too. by the fact that the floor
Of the hall was highly polished. The
| Maroons, however. played consistent
game throughout The Muscatine
/ boys were so rough that it was neces-
sary to disqualify one player and put
him out of the game on that account
After being twice warned. Lillebridge
was ordered off the floor by the ref
cree. He was allowed to play the re-
mainder of the game. however, as
there was but a few minutes of play.
Should he be disqualified a second
time this season, he will be barred
from the game. under the amateur
rules. The first half ended 80 to O.
In the second half it was some time be-
fore either side scored a point. Strate
won the honors for the Rock Island
team. making nearly all of the points
for the MaroOns.
Company c. has one of the best bas-
ketball teams in Iowa, and in view of
the handicap on account of the con
dition of the floor. the defeat is not a
singing one for the local boys.
