|. ENTRIES IN MEET
Galesburg, Shelbyville and Blooming.
ton Will Not Allow More Than 90
to Compete.

Bloomington, ILL.,, jan 29.-At con-
ference held this week between Vice
President Jesse Newton of the Illinois
High School Athletic association, and
representatives of the various cities
selected for the district basketball
tournaments on Feb Is and 26, it
was decided to reduce the entries of
Bloomington, Shelbyville, Galesburg
and other cities with more than
twenty, to that limit. Bloomington
leads with 26. In this case, six of the
entries will be divided among those
cities with less than twenty, efforts
being made to avoid as little addition
al travelling as possible. 1t was
further decided to permit all cities
with 20 entries to commence on
Thursday, Feb. "a, in order to COM
mence the elimination as early as
possible. There has been consider
able opposition to three-day tourna-
ment, but with an Unexpectedly large
number of entries, it is found impera-
tive
The total number of schools in this
years competition is 176, representing
1859 players, each team being re-
stricted to ten. This is a far greater
number than in former years, indicat-
ing the greatly increased interest in
this class of sport.

MONDAY FINAL DAY.
TO SHOOT RABBITS

Bloomington, ILL.,, Jan. 29-For the
first time in the history of Illinois rab-
bits will be protected after Monday.
The revised game laws prohibit hunt
ers from killing the animals after this
month and until next fall. The slaugh-
ter has become so great of late years
that fear was expressed in some quar-
tiers that there was danger of EXTERN
ination until protection was given dur
ing the breeding season of the spring
months.
The season for shooting squirrels
also closes Jan. 81, but few hunters
seek these animals during the winter.

second half started the fun, the local
lineup being shifted into all sorts of
positions, with the result that this
half ended with the score barely in
Rock Islands favor, amounting to "A
to 90.
For the locals, some of the men little
used before showed up in the best
shape. Ed Taber, Morris and Huber,
the first two at forwards and the last
named at guard, played remarkable
games, while Barker at center also
came back with some of his old-time
basket shooting.
For the Cambridge boys, Gustafson
at forward and Wieneke at center play
ed the best games, Gustafson making
about half of their points. Wieneke
at center showed himself enough to
make the local centers hustle and add
