POSSIBLE BREAK In
ATHLETIC RELATIONS
Moline High School Indignant Over
Position Assumed by
Sterling.

Moline high school five, like Rock
Island high school five, won its first
game of basketball of the season last
night at the manual arts building in
Moline. The victims of the high school
quintet. designated as the Moline In
dependents, consisted of former high
school players. They were defeated by
a score of so to g. The Independents
were organized for the express purpose
of filling the date which was left va
cant by the action of the management
of the Sterling high school team few
days ago According to contracts, Mo
line, in playing at Sterling, was to al
low the Sterling management to pick
the officials This was done. Moline
was beaten by large margin. A few
days ago, contrary to contract. that
Moline should furnish officials for the
game in the Pillow city, the Sterling
management insisted that it be allow
ed TO choose the officials. This was
refused by the Moline management.
AS a result the game was called off. It
is possible that the action of the Ster-
ling management in calling off the
game will result in the discrimination
of athletic relations between the two
schools.

Stars.

Coach Harmon's men played in the best
! form they have shown thus far this

there was never a doubt as to which
team would win the contest The final

TO II.
BEHNAMANN STARS
Harry Behnamann, forward for the
high school, was the particular star of
the evening. He managed TO throw
eight baskets. four in each half, despite
the close guarding of Morrissy, the big
college guard. Tremann at center also
played a fine game, his floor work be
ing good and his four field baskets
aiding in the total. Mcintyre, next TO
Behnamann. was the star of the game.
He guarded in sensational style al
lowing his opponent, Brown, only a
few very poor chances for field goals.
and at the same time figuring in near
" all the team work which resulted in
baskets. He made three himself after
brilliant exhibitions of team play in
which the ball was carried down the
floor with from three to six short,
quick passes. Captain Wilcher threw
three field baskets and four foul bask-
cts and was strong on the team work.
Barker confined himself TO guarding
his man and for that reason did no;
figure very strongly in the team work.
WEAK ON BASKETS.
The collegians' principal weakness
lay in their inability to cage the ball
when given the chance. They made
only eight field goals throughout the
game, Hynes getting three. Fitzpatrick
two and Brown one. They had numer-
Gus chances, but could not make the
goals. Hynes was playing as subst,
tute, King, right forward for the col
legians. having been removed early in
the game because of an injury to his
nose.
