The Hibernian quintet Of Keokuk
Won from q: crack Elvaston team, 40
to 90 in one of the most sensational
basketball clashes of the season in Hi
herman hall last; night.
A large crowd saw the keokuk team
win from the visitors. The game was
full of thrills and was battle be-
tween two teams who knew all the ms
and outs Of basketball. The visitors
put up classy game, especially in
the first half when they played Keo-
kuk even, and the locals deserve all
the more credit for defeating team
of this Galore. Elvaston, so it has
been reported, had won every game
before coming to Keokuk.
The visitors were good on team
work but fell down on guarding after
losing the ball. Every player on the
Keokuk team played well and credit
can be given to every individual. Paul
King, was the star basket shooter for
the Hibernians, caging seven shots. H.
Campbell, the chief performer for the
visitors, scored an equal number of
baskets.
