TOURNEY URGED
FOR ISLANDERS

BIZ .ALmI Al

The district basketball tourna-
ment viii be held in Rock Island
instead Of Galesburg, II the plans
Of Manager Clark Of the high school
athletic association are successful
The tourney this year will b held
March 10, II and II.
The meet has been held at Gales
burg ever since this district was
established and for several years
there have been complaints about
the manner in which the tourney
was conducted. This Is the first
year that there has been . deter
mined effort to get the meet away
from Galesburg. Quite q few Of the
schools have signified their will
ingness to come to Rock Island in
preference to Galesburg, and - 1t
looks now, the meet will probably
be held in the Augie gym.
Better Chance Here.
There is no real reason why the
tourney should not be held in Rock
Island. The hotel and restaurant
facilities are every bit ~ good as in
Galesburg. The Augustana gym
Ia better equipped than tho Gales
burg armory where the tournament
u usually held.
The one argument against Rock
Island is that it is up In one corner
Of the district and that some Of the
teams would have to travel too far.
This objection Is overcome by the
location of Moline and East Moline.
The expenses of the teams in those
towns would be practically nothing
and would be q big saving.
The Little 10" tournament last
year at Augustana showed that
Rock Island could support such an
enterprise, and there is no doubt
but what the meet would be . sue
cess here.
Book Kewanee Games.
Two more games were scheduled
for the first team last week and
one for the second. Rock Island
will play Kewanee on Jan. 81 in the
local "Y" and at Kewanee, March
in the last game before the tour
nament.
The second team is scheduled tc
play Toulon, Jan. Il, at Toulon

Az far AZ can be ascertained. this
is the first time the larger colleges
Of this section have shown any dis
position to get together on any sort
of an athletic union-though talk Of

ference has been running rife In
college athletic circles for the Last
five or six years.
If the eight schools invited are
able to agree On q constitution and
formulate any kind Of q stable or.

body that will rate second In i'm,
