THE TRANSGRESSOR

The way of the transgressor is hard.
Germany, the greatest of world trans
gressors, is now reaping the harvest
il has sOwn.
BlOOdshed, riot, pillaging. air-raids,
murders and every other conceivable
form of lawlessness is now in progress
in the wonderful law-abiding father
land" There is likely to be many a
day of hardship yet before the reign of
riot is ended and peace is restored.

ATHENS, Greece, Jan. 4 (By Mail
War conditions have not been per-
mitted to interfere with wine-making
IN Greece.
A conservative estimate places the
1918 production of wine at more than
lo,5OO,OOO gallons This despite the
food shortage, which created a great
demand for fresh grapes as food last
summer.
The 1918 wine crop is estimated to
be nearly double that of 1917.

ISLANDERS and
MOLINE TO MIX
Ancient Rivals VIII Clash in Pre-
Tournament Game for Locals
Tomorrow Night.
LAST SHOWING CHAMPS HERE
Crimson and Gold Players and
hooters Expecting Easy Win
Over PIOw City Five.
BY 1FRY,s


Tomorrow evening at O'Clock
the Rock Island high school bask-
etball squad will meet Moline's
quintet in the local Y NJ C. A.
This will be the last time the Is
landers will play at home this year,
as the team will finish the season
at the state tournament at Urbana
next Friday and Saturday.
The crimson and gold men are
basing their claim for victory to-
morrow night on a previous battle
in which the locals easily emerged
the victor. 1t is rumored, how
that since battling the locals the
"Swedes" have changed their whole
system of play. Coach W. L. KIM
mel therefore has given his squad
a week of hard practice and is con-
fident that his team can whip Mo-
line, no matter what style of play
the latter employs.
On the eve of the last scheduled
game of the season we can review
the past successful basketball year
Rock Island high school has had.
At first things looked pretty bad
men Of last years team back, Dopp
and Anderson, and with Dopp ex-
pecting to be ruled ineligible, it
was no wonder that everyone was
rather pessimistic regarding the
seasons prospects.
But things were not as bad as
they had looked. Greve of last
years second team stepped into
Heimbeck's place at guard: Duffin,
a new man, was discovered for the
other guard. And last, but not
least, Parks, another new man. was
found to be a forward. Anderson
was changed from forward to CEN
ter and Dopp played his old posi-
ton at running guard.
Lineup Successful.
With that lineup the Islanders
won from Galesburg in post-sea-
son game, lost to the fast alumni
five, and won from Davenport. By
this time the team had gotten it's
stride and easily defeated East Mo-
line, Moline. Abingdon, Kewanee,
Elmwood, Geneseo (twice), and

Augustana went down to defeat
last night in the first game of the
tournament at the hands of Lom-
bard. 25-16. 1t was a wierd and pc
Culiar contest. Though it could
hardly be attributed to over-confi-
dence on the part of Augustana
neither team developed any speed
Sor team work. Both teams took the
whole game in getting started.
The early defeat does not put
Augie out OF the running. There is
still the possibility of winning via
the secondary schedule and thereby
having a chance TO play the win
ners of the primary schedule as was
the case with Eureka last year.
The first period ended in a ragged
manner, 11-3, with Lombard on the
longer end of the count. The second
half was a duplicate of the first.
"Wallie" Swanson did not seem to
be able to break away and made
only one basket during the entire
game. "Kootch" Anderson, Samuel
son and BengstOn each bagged twt
of the scace ringer. Almer however,
played a furious game at guard.
Augustana's defeat at the hands
of Lombard means that prediction
as to the outcome of the tOurna-
ment games cannot in any way be
made from the scores made by the
teams during the playing season.
Lombard, which was generally con-
coded as having one of the weakest
teams of the major division is now
SSrust forward into a good running
chance for the championship
Eureka is again showing strong
form. The furious battle with Brad
ley was the fastest seen so far at
the tournament. Recovering from
apparent defeat Eureka rallied to a
clean victory. The Eureka players
have strengthened their team in a
startling manner since the begin
ming of the season and show much
promise. None of the men of last
years championship Eureka team
returned to play and an entirely
new aggregation has been built up.
MiIlfkin Bests Rival.
Millikin's strength against Wes-
leyan in which the host was defeat
ed by a three point margain some
what allays the fears of fans that
Wesleyan would be the strongest
contender, playing on her home
floor. The State Normal-St. Vtarors
game resulted as expected.
According to the schedule Eureka
is to play Lombard tonight and
A1ilikin will be matched against
State Normal. AS the victory of
Lombard is attributed merely to the
poor playing of Augustana the
Galesburg team having showed no
real form in pre-tournament games,
the real fight seems to lie between
the winner of the Millikin-E Eureka
contest and the Augustana-W Yves
leyan game.
