Keokuk high defeated the Donneli
son five by Il score Of 80 to 20, Satur
day night. 1t was one or the tastesI
and best games the locals have played
this year. In fact the score surprised
the most enthusiastic fans OF the local.
team.
Keokuk played great ball with the
exception of the first five or ten MIN
utes when they acted as II they Were
dazea or having q fit of stage might
After they found themselves the locals
started making baskets while the Dca'
nelson five were making free throws
from the fouls called on heokuk by
Mr.. Koch who acted as umpire. Ar.
Koch is coach of the DonneHson
basketball team Donnellson had three
fouls called TO Keokuk's twelve Most
of the fouls were due to over anxiety
on both sides.
For Keokuk, Wyllie and Sutlive
played a wonderful guarding game.
The two crack forwards from DonneIi-
son only made five baskets and they
were fairly long shots. The guards
forced the speed boys 10 shoot from
the center of the floor. Wyllie and
Sutlive both worked in the scoring
machine, Wyllie caging two pretty
goals and Sutlive one.
Great credit must go 10 Ed Rich,
Keokuk's lengthy center The big boy
broke up all OF the Donnellson team
work around their basket. Rich used
head work in pinches and tried TO take
the ball away from his opponent
This would mean held ball and on
The toss up Rich would out-jump has
opponent and knock the ball into keo-
kuk's territory. Rich will make
scientific player and will make every
one take notice in few more weeks
of play.
Werster at forward was in the
team work all through the game. He
is not sensational shot, but tries TO
play for the teams benefit His IN
firing efforts TO give the ball to Hart
under the basket helped boost Keo-
kiik's score. Worster should be
given great credit for stepping into
forward left vacant by Ebersole.
Captain Hart scored "A points, more
than all of Donnellson's total score.
Hart was little off color and missed
several easy shots. The captain is
very modest and gives the credit OF
his great number OF points to team
work
Meister and Hobbs both played good
ball while in the game.
For Donnellson, Armknecht and
Shuck played exceptionally good ball.
Both have played better ball and I'M
doubtedly the strange baskets and
lighting spoiled several beautiful
shots. They played a good clean game
and were very accurate passers.
The Donnellson team should be
congratulated upon their scientific
playing and need not be ashamed TO
play any team in the state. Under the
conditions and the size of their school.
they deserve all the credit that can be
given them.
