MUCH INTEREST
IN FRIDAY tilt
Especial Correspondence

| Geneseo, Ill, Dec 29-No little
| interest was manifested in Geneseo
! regarding the outcmoe of the bas-
! ketball game at Moline last Satur-
day night between the high schools
of Moline and Cambridge. The
game at the conclusion of the
fourth period was a tie at 10 points
each. In the extra period of five
minutes which the rules demand,
Moline succeeded in caging three
baskets while Cambridge failed to
register, the final score being %
to 49,
Local interest in this game cen
tiers upon the fact that Cambridge
plays the Geneseo high school
team here Friday evening. Ke-
kanee defeated Cambridge a few
weeks ago by a score of 25 to IA,
and Geneseo in turn defeated Ke-
vance, "a to 16. With the very
creditabIe showing against Moline
the question in the minds of the
local followers of the Green and
White is What can Geneseo do
against Cambridge" The game
against kewanee is hardly a fair
criterion as Cambridge was Grip
pied by the loss of two of their
best men including Captain Nord
Coach Pruitt was greatly disap-
pointed with the work of the local
team in the game against Atkin-
son which was played here last
Friday night. The lack of team
work was very noticeable and
Coach Pruitt will work the boys
with the purpose of improving that
angle OF the game Spence made
such creditable showing in the
game against Atkinson that he
looms up as a strong candidate for
the team. Combs, who is out be-
cause of his scholastic standing. IS
good in his class room work
and will likely be in the game
again next semester. His wonder
ful work in the district tournament
at Rock Island last March display
ed the high class brand of basket
ball of which he is capable at a
guard position. His return to the
team Is source of keen pleasure
to all interested in its success.
A very large attendance is an
ticipated for the Cambridge game
Of next Friday evening. These |
teams played a sensational game |
here last season, Geneseo winning !
in the final moments of play by a |
final score of % to q. The riyaIry /
between teams and towns certain !
ly makes this clash a real sporting
event in this vicinity.

Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, Dec. 21-Last night the
Aledo high school basketball quin-
tet defeated the Keithsburg high
school by the score of Al to Is at
the local college gym.
Keithsburg was handicapped by
the fact that it was their first game
on a regulation sized floor. john
son playing right forward for
Keithsburg was their most con-
sistent point gamer, making seven
free throws and the feature field
goal of the evening from about the
center of the floor.
For Aledo, Moorhead, playing
center, was the main basket shoot
er, making a total of "a points.
While Aledo won the tilt by a good
margin they were exceedingly poor
on making baskets except when
right beneath the goal.
The attendance at the battle was
not large. Several fans from
Keithsburg were present, having
motored over as the roads are in
good condition. J. b. Brashear,
superintendent of the Joy schools,
refereed the match. Although tech
nical fouls were numerous there
were not enough personal fouls on
any player TO throw him out of the
game.
LineUps and Summary.
During the tilt no substitutions
were made in the Keithsburg line
up. Those for Aledo were: near the
end of the first half, clearinghouse
for Wells and Sabbath for Prouty.
