A sweeping victory for the seniors
and a hard won fight to the sopho-
mores credit featured the last day Of
the Rock Island high school interclass
basketball tournament yesterday, the
seniors winning over the juniors by
the score of AZ to l and the sopho
mores over the freshmen by the score
OF II to 4 at the high school gym. The
game between the underclassmen
came first and was hard fought bat
tie from start to finish. The senior
junior clash was a clear victory for
the seniors all the way through.
The first game started out with a
rush, but the guarding of both teams
was so good that for several minutes
neither side was able to score The
sophomores made the first tally and
were closely followed by the freshmen
Baskets alternated at first, but toward
the end of the half the sophomores
forged ahead and ended the half with
the score to in their favor The lat
ter half showed about the same line
of play from each team, the opposition
of both teams guards strengthening,
however, and the half ended with
three baskets for the sophs and none
for the freshmen.
Juniors Start Well.
The game between the seniors and
juniors started with stiff opposition
by the junior guards to every play
that the senior forwards made This
kept the ball from the hoop for some
time, but finally it was sneaked
through by Evelyn Eckart, who fol-
lowed it up with foul goal The scor-
ing machine began to get started then
and the half ended with the score 16
to l in favor of the seniors In the
second half the seniors strengthened
considerably with the result that the
second half showed a total of &c
points for them, while their opponents
made nothing
For the seniors, Alberta Glasco
Evylyn Eckart and Jeanette Riddell
played stellar games, the first two at
forwards and the latter at guard. Miss
Glasco again succeeded in making the
big end of the senior scores, but her
mate, Miss Eckart, also played a swift
game and proved of great value in

Jean" Riddell at guard was the night
mare OF the juniors, not allowing the
ball to remain in their territory long
For the juniors, Beth Emery and
Melba Carlson played the best games
fighting all the time and keeping alert
the senior center and guards respec-
lively. Miss Carlson made the single
tally for the juniors with a foul goal
Frieda Nuessli at forward and Mar
guerite Morrison at guard played the
best game for the sophomores, doing
their usual line of work In their re.
spective territories.
For the freshmen, Evelyn Hudson
was undoubtedly the individual star
making the majority of the freshmen
points and playing a fighting game
throughout. The freshmen guards alst
put up good games and prevented :
great deal of tallying by the sopl
forwards.
