(Continued from pasO cue.)

the attention of all the coaches in
 the tournament and he is being
 strongly mentioned for all-state
 center. Rcd" Quinn also played
 good ball playing a much better game
 than in the two previous games. Leo
 Nichol played a stillor game and
 completely redeemed his slauchy
 work previous to this game. Chris
 topher and Lyle played a good floor
 game. For Jonesboro, Dauthery, forward, was the stellar performer. In a very one sided and slow game
 Stuttgart, mopped up, rubbed it Tn,
 and put it all over the Crossett five.
 The score was 65 to 19. Dennmah for Stuttgart and Aiken for Crosset
 were the shining lights. This enGed
 ment was resumed at 2:30 o'clock. Little Rock met Argenta. This was the faetest and most thrilling of the series. 1t, was everybodys game from start till finish. The score was tied time after time and the spec-| tators were tense with excitement. The work of both teams was superb and neither seemed to have the edge. A magnificent spurt by the Little Rock lads and a little luck put them on the imagine side of a 24-21 Score. Jackson was probably the figure who attracted most attention in this game.
 The last game of the. afternoon was played by Pine Bluff and Monticello. This was the closest fastest and cleanest game of the whole series The locals were never in better form and played the speediest, cleverest game in their career. Their team work was brilliant and source of bewilderment to the Monticello team. Open style of play was used and the ball was shot from man to man with Tightening like speed. Every man on the team was wide awake and moving. The Monticello lads played | a superb game but the nerve, the dash and the head work shown by the locals was combination they could neither solve or break up. The signals | of the locals were worked perfectly. | Few fouls were called on either side | and this was the most enjoyed game | of the tournament. The spectators | went wild time and again as some | brilliant piece of team work and capped by. perfect shot was made. | The Monticello "Hi" had a speedy agl gregation and their work was almost as brilliant as the locals.
 The result of the game was in doubt from the very first. The teams seemed perfectly matched and the excitement of the spectators was at the highest pitch. During the sec- ond game the play was terrifically fast and few basket were made. The suspense of the spectators was al most unbearable, and their nerves keyed up to the finest pitch were all most on the breaking point. With the time left to play measured by sec onds, the score was tied, and only an influtesimal amount of time before the final whistle, Ed Howell shot fave. Although the spectators were uninterested personally, being mostly Little Rock people, they went wild and rushed out on the floor to con- gratulate both winner and loser. Both teams played magnificiently and never has game been played on the Little Rock floor which worked on the emotions of the crowd as did this one. It was the kind of game rarely ever seen. It was truly fast game.
 Every man on the local team dis tingu;shed and redistinguished him. self. Edwin Howell the popular hero of the tournament was the most bril- liant of the local performers. His haadwork, speed and good marks manship are the talk of the sporting circle in Little Rock tonight. He will probably be picked for the honor or all ctate center.
 This was the last game of the after noon. fitti.g climax for a day marked with fast and exciting games. The team headed by Coach Osborne will return this morning.
