Although Geneseo and Moline are
boasting of how they are going to

they met there is no doubt but
what they can take the champion
ship.
Coach Kimmel had his athletes
out last night for hard workout
on the "Augie" floor and this morn

other long drill on the big court.

down the floor with all kinds Of
speed and the seconds didn't have
a chance.

noon when they meet East Moline.
Although Coach Heimbeck has been
giving his men some hard work

than ever, the locals are expected
to be easy winners. Coach kim
