Another Victory for keokuk.

Another Victory for keokuk.
Another victory for our boys puts
them in rejoicing mood. The keo-
kuk Y team was victorious over GUM
cy, their old rivals, in the game Fri
day night, to the tune of sc to Is.
Quincy up to this game had not
lost-they were surprised and over
whelmed by the phenomenal basket
shooting and tricky pass work of the
men in green. The Keokuk Y team
has never lost game since its forma-
ton on New Years day, 1913. the
next game will likely be Hannibal 7
here, Tuesday, December %.
The game Friday night was spectacu-
lar from the whistle to gong, and the
large crowd was more than satisfied
with the class of basketball put up by
both teams. There was an exception
ally small percentage Of fouls made on
both sides, and the work of Referee
ZolIer of Quincy, was fawless, and
speedy Both teams were so well sat
isfied with the game, that there will
likely be four games played this year
between Keokuk and Quincy, instead
OF two.
The first half was landslide for
Keokuk, the score being 1910 at the
first stop, fact which has never been
the experience of Quincy before. They
were unable to find the goal at any
time, although the ball seemed to
hover all over the ring, and many
times sensational shots were made
and near-made throughout the entire
game They were unable to cope with
the left handed pass Of Captain King,
who is sure ''ambidextrous" with that
ball!
Merriam also was on the ball at all
times, and Quincy only had one or
| two close shots in the whole game,
! which they were too hasty to make,
and lost. On the other hand, Center
Allen seemed to be able to slip around
the Quincy safety men on several oc-
casions, and when chance came to
drop one in, the score keeper got busy,
for Allen seldom misses.
Paul King was all over the floor at
! once, and some of those hair-raising
shots went in clear as usual. Porter
field is always good for four or FIVE
one handed drops, and covered the
floor at the same time. yenning did
not get into the game but is able to
fill the ranks efficiently whenever a
hole is made.
