One more entry to the basketball
tournament now in progress at the
high school was added this morning
when the Galesburg authorities tele-
school there will come here to take
part in the games.
This makes six teams entered and
assures the local management of
successful meeting. The addition of
the Galesburg team rather complicated
matters, as it was no longer possible
Tor percentage method of reckoning
standing to be followed exclusively.
In order for every team TO play each
of the other contestants it would be
necessary to have a schedule of Is
games, and this would be an impossi-
BILE number to play in two days. Those
In charge of the tournament are uncer-
tain as to what method of reckoning
will be followed, but in all probability
two of the teams will be eliminated
from the contest as soon as they have
lost two games, which will leave the
other four to fight it out for the hon
ors. Even If this plan is followed, it
may be necessary to play two games
tomorrow morning, which will make
the schedule consist of 10 games.
DRAW for Places.
The mixed methods of reckoning
makes it seem that some one team or
other will have an advantage by hav-
ing fewer games to play in the allotted
time, but as it is impossible to over
come this, all of the contestants are
willing that it should be so. In order
to have everything fair. the schedule
will be arranged with the consent of
all the captains, and numerals will be
used instead of the names of the con-
testing teams. When the schedule
satisfies the majority, the captains will
draw lots to determine which one of
the numerals represents them. No
team will know at the start which it is
to play first, when it will play its first
game. or how many games it will have
to play.
Whole state Interested.

Iilrinaries throughout the entire state

Burlington road out of Barstow de-
iayed the Monmouth and Galesburg
teams by forcing them to come to
Rock Island by way of Galva. They
were unable to get here in time for the |
