basketball floor. Every man felt the
thrill Of the battle. and every man
did his duty to the best of his ability.
The game was exceptionally clean and
fast, demonstrating the fact that a
game does not have to drag to be free

deserves much credit for the fighting
spirit he shows and instills into his
men at all times. Ho2p played good
game in the middle Of the floor, but
was off on shooting, both free and
field goals. The guards were on the
job, too, and did some splendid re-
covery work. For the M. R. P. Co.,
each man deserves mention. Captain
King shoots equally well from any
1 spot on the floor, and seemingly from
any position, but that does not inter-

naeded. Harrington, the other for

a good fight under the basket. Muir.
ray, at center, and Knapp and Kane
at guards, were also responsible for
the excellent showing their team made
by never once letting the ball get in
the vicinity of the enemy's basket
when it could possibly be returned to
their own men. Such games as these
two Friday night are we'll worth the
attention and patronage OF the sport
loving people of Keokuk. Men and
women who have never cared for the
I game hitherto, are coming regularly
