High School Victory.

K. H. s.. 81. Hamilton Is, last night
at Hamilton.
The high school team won It's fifth
straight victory last night over the
Hamilton five on HamiltoYs floor.
While the floor is much smaller than
the local floor, it has been so altered
as to make a very acceptable basket
ball court. the only drawback being
the posts. The game was well attend
ed. and deserved to be, both teams
putting up very snappy game from
start to finish. The end of the first
half the score was 1910 for keokuk,
Hosford coming in at the latter part
Of the half and putting lots of snap
into the Hamiltonians with three fast
baskets The Hamilton team were
ION" in the fight for goals, missing
many shots that on other days they
can no doubt make with ease. The
Keokuk five played steady game,
that lack OF starring being percept-
ible. which makes real basketball
team. The team that makes the best
showing is the team that has no real
crack shot to feed to. Drummond
playing Hulson's position at left
guard made a good showing, scoring
the average number Of goals. Meador
was at his usual stage. Davidson is
Improving. Hancock ami McQuoid
were in the game at all points, and
the fact that the score is so low is
simply due to the mighty good COW

voIIey Ball League.


The first game of the Y volley ball
league which is to play every We'd
nesday at SIS, was played last night,
the employed officers taking on the
seniors, 2 to l.
The league is a new departure In
Keokuk. and will no doubt arouse
much interest as it develops. Volley
ball is coming game and is bound
to rob basketball OF some of its glory
as the play becomes more universal.
Sometimes it will take two or three
minutes to decide point, and other
times a point is made every few sec
onds. No other game is as free from
obnoxious fouls and chances for argu-
ment and discussion. Each man must
stay on his side, and If mistake Is
made, his team mates have chance
to redeem the point. ..a
Lineup Of the volley ball game was
