BASKETBALL TILT
Members of Varsity Squad
Show Superiority Over Their
Elders at the Game.

The high school basketball five last
evening after school proved their su-
periority over the faculty in defeating
them by the score of As to 50. The
game was one of the fastest played on
the local floor for long time, and the
faculty had the regulars on the run in
the first half, the period closing with
the score standing, faculty 10, high
school Is. In the last half the high
school five came back and ran up a
count of 80 to their opponents 10.
Hollowell on the high school team,
showed up so well that his place on
the regular basketball five at forward
is practically assured. In the short
time that he was in the game, he roll
ed in a total of six field baskets.
Reeves besides throwing the six field
baskets, shot three fouls. Tremann
threw six field basket. Chalk played
his usual star game at guard. For the
pedagogues, Corneal, Howard and
Harmon, starred while Starr and Tagg
both played exceptionally good games
at guard. Howard also threw six bas-
kets, while Coach Corneal rolled in
five fields and threw five foul baskets,
for a total of Is points. The teams
lined up as follows:

hooters There Unable to Ac,
count for Defeat Here in
Sundays Contest.
SET UP CRY OF "RINGERS"
Have 1t Doped Out That a Number
Of University Players Were
In the Local Lineup.

Admirers of the Spring Valley, Ill,
football team which fought and lost in
a battle for the state championship
here last Sunday, are unable to figure
out just how their favorites were de-
feated. Furthermore they have be-
come suspicious of the makeup Of the
team that bested them and what's
more they don't believe the trick
could be turned again. With the foot
ball season over and no chance for
the playing of another game, they feel
perfectly safe in announcing that they
have a cool one thousand dollars
which is saying that the Rock Island
Independents cannot again defeat
Spring Valley.
SUGGESTS "RINGERs.S
In a communication to The Argus
in which several papers giving the
story of the game are ordered, one Of
the Spring Valley rooters has the fol-
lowing 10 say: 1T (meaning the re-
suit of the game) could not happen
again in 100 years. We have 1000
beans or dollars to say so. 1 would
also like to know how many Rock Is
land players played Sunday or were
they all university players as there
were more players on the sidelines
than there were spectators"
The game, it will be recalled, re-
suited in Z to victory for the Rock
Island team. The game was holly
contested and the Spring Valley az
gregation put up the game which it's
reputation presaged, but even at that
the Independents won on merit. Incl
dentally everyone of the players max
ing up the Rock Island Independents
are Rock Islanders with one exception.
Right tackle Swanson is from Moline.
None of the players are university
men although there are several on the
| team who have the ability to make a
university eleven had they the oppor-
tunity.
TEAM TO BANQUET TONIGHT.
Tonight the members of the victor
ious Independent eleven will banquet
az the New Harper House where a
general good time will be in order.
Plans will probably be laid to assure
| the perpetuation of the team. The
season was a most successful one
and evidenced that Rock Island wants
a first class Independent football team
/ for Sunday contests.

Never was Eddie McGoorty in bet
ter trim than he is today. A month
ago he was fat, heavy on his feet and
his eyes were dull and listless. His
training during the past month has
wrought wonders. Fat has been strip
ped from his body and legs. From his
shoulders to his ankles he tapers like
a wedge. Instead of fat there are mus
cles, hard but pliable. And his famous
corkscrew left is more dangerous
than ever.
