before one of the largest crowds that
ever witnessed a basketball game at
the local gym, Rock Island high school
bowed in defeat before Davenport's
quintet last night The final score was
So TO 19, and in all fairness it must be
admitted that the count might have
been larger had it not been for the
fact that Davenport used a substitute
team during the greater part Of the
first half. In this period Rock Island
showed well, having the long end Of
the score of IL to at the close of the
first half. In the second half how
ever, Davenports full strength was
brought into play and the locals were
rendered helpless. The only points
garnered by Rock Island in the second

which was awarded by the referee.
Kipp made majority of the Island
ers' scores, throwing Il foul baskets
out of possible 81. Tremann made
the only two field baskets that the
local team scored

went out and met the boys of the Coal
Valley school, who have been inquir-

suit of his visits. two patrols were
organized with a total membership of
Is. Justin Washburn, principal of the
school, was appointed scoutmaster,
and arrangements were made for the
boys to enter at once upon the prac-
tice of scouting work The country
about Coal Valley is ideal for such
use, being hills and woods and rocks,
and it will give the boys fine oppor-
tunities to study woodcraft and out
door life.
This makes a total of five patrols
that have been organized by Mr.. Smed-
ley within the past month, including
altogether 80 boys. AS the interest
keeps on growing, it will no doubt be
possible before a great while to pro

In fashionable evening dress they dem

whirl, introducing many original feats
requiring both strength and endurance.

given out for years. The standard of
animal training is so high that it is
necessary TO accomplish something out

more than passing interest This is
exactly what has been done in the
case of Meehan's CANNES, the four.
