BURLINGTON, Iowa, Jan. In the
first real basketball game on both
keokuk's and Burlington's schedule,
played in Burlington last night, Keo-
;kuk triumphed over the Purple and
Grey team after hard struggle, 20
to 25- The game was played in the
Y. M. c. A. gymnasium before large
crowd of rooters.
Superior team work and the ability
to make baskets when chance offered,
was responsible for Keokuk's win.
This team work came only in flashes,
however, and there were times when
the Keokuk team was weak as a unit
But on the other hand, Burlington dig
played very little team work, and the
Purple and Whites flashes Of bril-
lance were enough to bring victory.
The Burlington players were also
woefully weak in finding the baskets.
They had nearly twice as many
chances as Keokuk at scoring but were
unable to take advantage OF this. The
failure to connect with the ring with
so many chances offered, spoiled Bur-
lington's chances for win.
Both teams showed promise of bet
ter things to come. The players are
just beginning to work as a unit and
should put over some strong work in
the future.
Keokuk played the same team all
through the game, while Burlington
hailed in four subs. The game was a
hard fought one and rough at times,
but clean.
For Keokuk. McGaw and McQuoid,
the two forwards, were stars, while
Wygle put up an excellent game on
the defense. For Burlington, Brown,
