made the first score of the game with
field basket which cleared the hoop

a count of 33 to 4.
Rhodes and Allen Star.
For honors in the individual point
column, Rhodes and Allen had a little
battle of their own and each made
total of eight field goals. while
Rhodes made five points from foul
baskets. Throughout the contest, the
Davenport center would lie low I'M
der the red and black basket and
would receive long passes, and the
scorekeeper would begin to check up
another basket for Davenport. Rhodes
lived up TO his reputation Of being a
hard fighter a-d received Glass b

ISLANDERS LOSE
TO MOLINE TEAM

The ShaTkey Colts of Rock Island
lost a rather one-sided basketball con
test asst night at the Northwestern
being 30 to in favor OF the Moline
Indians. The game was poorly played
and the Colts had no chance from the
start with their faster opponents.
The Indians team work featured the
contest. The Colts could doubtless
have made a better showing had it
net been for the fact that TWO of their
regulars were cut OF the game.

lead now going On between the indie

Socials meet the Centrals, and as the
latter team Is not exceptionally strong
the Socials will probably have little

MoIine-Rock Island Dope
BY comparing the scores made by
Davenport against Moline and Rock
Island, the dope points to the fact that
if the two teams. Rock Island and Mo-
line line meet this -ason, there will be
a battle royal for in the two games
played against Davenport the twin
cities have made scores nearly even
Moline lost to Davenport by score
of so to IA, while Rock Island lost to
the Iowans by the score of 81 to II.
Moline played on her home floor, and
so did the Islanders. so the dope is
about even. Local students are hop
ing that the Island City five will get
a chance at the Pillow City lads at the
preliminary state tournament, which
will be played at Galesburg Feb.
%, so that they may fight it out for
the cellar championship of the tri-
cities.
Good Spirit Shown.
In the past two years all OF the con-
tests with Davenport have been fea-
tured by the good sporting spirit
which has been shown by the students
Of both schools, and the game last
night did not prove an exception to
the rule. Plenty OF spirit was shown.
and the cheer leaders had busy time

A modest amount Of good feeling and

1t is best to measure your courtesy

What We find charming in others is
deiicacy and consideration shown In
little things. Not to offend in look and
