Great Scoring Trio.
Bushell and Winterhalter at for
vsrd and Clancy At center consti-
tute An offensive trio which II hard
! 10 stop. while the stellar guarding
81 MacLain and Mccarthy should
mt crimp in the Augustana scor-
ing machine.
While Augustana Is regarded a.
1 formidable opponent. it Is the
universal opinion here that the To-
cal team should come through with
victory.
Angie Wins Eighth.
Augustana basketball quintet
handed the Bradley school five u
Peoria q second defeat Of the sea
con Saturday night on the Peoriaas
home floor by a score Of 80 to 10
The game was the cleanest and
fastest seen on the Peoria fool
this season, the contest being in
Ioubt until well up into the las
bali Of the second period. =
Coach Robertson's men showed
much better basketball in Satur
sslay's game than was displayed b!
them on the Rock Island floor earli
q in the season, and at times seri
Tously menaced the. Swedes' marrow
leading margin.
BengStsn Scores 10.
Bengston. captain and right for
Il ward for Augie, was the big shov
IN the fracas, caging nine field bias
kets and one free throw. It wa
"too much Bengston'' from the frs
whistle to the last. Beng drop
ped in sinkers from all angles
long, short, and side shots all be
ing made by him with comparative
s.eAse.
:. He averages six and seven bas
tets every game, but in Saturday
contest nothing could stop him
'sand before Coach Swedberg tool
him out in the second half he hat
annexed 10 points for his team.
Il DahlQuist also deserves mention
for his superior guarding. II tn

period, Bradley started with . rusl

Swedberg's men seemed unable 1
loosen up. but soon Bengston tor
loose and in one minute of pla
dropped in four successive baskets
three from past the center Of tn
hoor and one close range shot.
This outburst Of speed complete

In the second period, Bradle
again took a squirt, but was 500
