The Independents of Davenport are
rot an authorized high school team,
but its members are students of the
school. In the first half of the game,
Souders and his opponent, Brownie,
had some heated words, Souders
charging that Brownie had been play
ing with foul tactics throughout the
game, and continually tripping him.
The two players were quoted down.
and the game finally proceeded. The
half ended Is to 10 in favor of the
Rock Island boys. The second half
had little the appearance of a basket
bali game, on account of the rough tao
tics employed on both sides. The Off
Gals deemed it best. in the face of the
difficulties which had arisen, to not en-
force the rules strictly, for the disqual-
ification of any of the Davenport play
| ers would have caused small riot.
