denies of Augustana, 80 to 20,
in Preliminary.

Two interesting games of basketball
were played at thetRock Island Y. NJ.
C. A. gymnasium last Saturday even
ing, the Y. NJ. c. a. first team defeating
the Moline high school by the score of
sc to so, and the Y. NJ. c. A. second
team defeated the Augustana Academy
by the score OF 80 to 20.
The first team was deprived of two
of its best players, Jensen and Jahns
being i'll, and in their place was sub
stituted Means and McManus. The
Moline high school boys started the
game with a rush and scored several
baskets before the local five could get
any at all, but star playing of McManus
and Means soon Overcame the handi-
cap and at the end of the first half the
score stood Is to y. In the second half
some fine teamwork was seen on both
sides, but the basket throwing of the
Y. NJ c. A. boys was much superior
Is Second victory.
The curtain raiser was probably the
more interesting of the two contests
the academy boys and the second team
being evenly matched. The guarding
OF both teams was excellent and was
responsible for the low score. Smith
was easily the star for the Y. NJ. C. A
five, he being very accurate on throw
ing foul baskets. while Linden of the
academy team took the high honOrs OF
| his side. The first half ended II to II
| in favor of the second team. During
the second hals Linden was severely
cut above the right eye and was una
| bic to continue lIaying. The game wa:
finished by a substitute. This is tho
second game that the second team ha:
defeated the Aupustana team, and the
boys challenge any team in the three

The officers of the Illinois High
School association of which Principal
II. E. Brown of the local high school
is secretary and treasurer, are endeav-
oring to arrange for a basketball
championship tournament. to be PLAYED

represented in the association. The
officers are now considering a PROPOSE
ton from the Oak Park Y. NJ c. A. to
hold the tournament there There are
two gymnasiums at Oak Park, and the
games would De played simultaneously,
so that not more than two days would
be required 10 complete the series. Oak
Park offers to conduct the tournament
March q and 2S, and will post suita-
bic trophies for the winners, if
the association receives 40 per
cent of the receipts. The
balance of the receipts. if this plan is
accepted, would be distributed among
the competing teams. the proportion
being based en- the mileage of the
team.
While the Illinois association does
rot include in its membership any Chi
cago schools. there are about 80 of the
best high sch )ols in the state repre-
| scented, and this number includes some
having first class basketball teams.
The tournament would undoubtedly at
tract much interest. and would prove
a successful venture.
The plan is to hold the preliminary
contests Friday and Saturday morning
and afternoon, and play the finals Sat
Iurday evening. This would mean two
ldays of hard playing for the teams. but
with proper preparation. this should
not iniura the chances of any team.
The plan meets with the favor of Mr.
Brown, and it IS hoped in Rock Island
