Rock Island high school gymnasium
| last night, the locals came back in
the second half. and with the crowd
cheering madly, came within four
points of overcoming Monmouth S
| lead of IL points. The contest end
ed with score of 80 to &c in favor
of Monmouth. The first half was
marred by considerable rough play
ing which Radford of Monmouth who
essayed to referee, seemed unable to
suppress. The result was that Ire
mann, left guard for Rock Island,
had his nose broken in a collision
with White of Monmouth. The acct
dent put an end to the rough play
ing and from then on the locals had
the best of a clean, fast game.
The team started with Barker and
Behnamann at forwards, Taylor at
center and TremaRn and Mcintyre
at guards. Barker had been suffer-
ing with a contraction of the muscles
in his right knee and had not prac-
ticed with the team during the past
week. 1t was expected that Hughes
would replace him in the second half
as he was not in condition to finish
the game, but due to the injury to
Tremann he was compelled to stick
the game out.
MONMOUTH SHOWS SPEED.
The game opened with a burst of
speed by Monmouth and the Rock
Islanders were temporarily taken off
their feet while Monmouth piled up
a lead of 10 points. Mcintyre broke
&c x1-ith n11 hn- or
and the game soon became a rough
ing contest with Monmouth on the
aggressive. When the half ended
the visitors had a lead of 10 to 6.
At the opening of the second half
the locals struck their gait and Behn-
amann rolled in six points on four
free throws and a field basket.
Throughout the half il was a hard
fight, both teams putting up a pref
ty game. Schulz of Monmouth was
responsible for the breaking up of
most of Rock Islands team work,
while NcIntyre's defensive playing
and Behnamann's offensive work
were the features for the locals. Time
and again Mcintyre carried the ball
into his teams territory by pretty
of dribbling that brought
the excited crowd to its feet, only
to have the big red-headed center of
the visitors step in and return it to
the other end of the field.
POOR LUCK ON BASKETS.
Besides the brilliant playing of
Schulz at center. White and Dickens, /.
who replaced Stewart in the second |
half. shot some difficult baskets just /,
at the time when they were needed. |
The locals seemed to have hard luck .
on baskets as time and time again |
the ball rolled around the rim and I
fell outside while cheer died on the /
lips of the crowd.
Near the close of the half the To-
Gals got within two points of their
opponents, but the latter rallied and
the game ended with a final score
Of 80 to &c. Behnamann of Rock Is
and and Schulz of Monmouth each
made 16 points for their respective
.eams. The summary:
