At least one player on the Keokuk

Jenkins, captain of the local team.
His work throughout the season has
been of the highest order, and 1t is
doubtful If there is a more aggres-
sive player in the state. Parsons and
Meador will also be strong contenders
for all-state positions. For high
school player Parsons is wonderfully
accurate on goal throwing, despite
his weight and size. Meador, although
not large, IS strong guard, and It
takes cracking good guard to slip

This game will end one of the most

this season only two have been lost.
They were the Mt Pleasant game and
the Burlington game. The defeat by
Mt. Pleasant early in the season was
more than revenged last night, and
the high school rooters believe that
the defeat by Burlington will be re-
venged in the same way.
