strong teams Of this vicinity. raises
the islanders standing . great deal.
among local teams. The Cambridge
Ave is an experienced organization
and had been playing since the
middle Of November. 1t had been
defeated but once, and that defeat
was by only one point. Cambridge
plays all the other quad-city teams
with the exception of st. Ambrose
and this score will give some dope
on the local race.
islanders Improved.
Rock Island showed greatly inn
proved form since the East Moline
contest and the chances for q vic
tory over Moline next Saturday
looks good right now. All the Mo-
line team were at the game. but
Coach Kimmel is figuring on . new
set Of plays to puzzle the Moliners.
The game will be played in the
Moline high school and will b the
first contest between any OF the
strong contenders for the local
title. The Moline squad 10 nothing
extra this year. having been defeat
ed twice already.
The Islanders were q changed
team compared with the squad that
played in the East Moline contest.
Their team work and passing WAS
far superior to that Of the Cam
bridge FIVE throughout the game.
II the improvement continues. the
locals should take the next contest
with Moline.
Great Rush ut Start
The game started with q rush.
The Cambridge men also showed
that they were far from dubs, and
it was several minutes before eth
er team scored. Rock Island got
the first counter when Biehl looped
a perfect shot from the middle OF
the floor. A few seconds later he
threw another long shot that found
the ring with little effort. Nord
scored next for Cambridge with an
other long shot and the battle was'
on.
Rock Island slowly forged ahead
while the Cambridge men were
having tough luck with many Of
their shots. Several times the Cam
bridge throws would hit the loop.
only to roll out Brown OF Cam
bridge threw four free throws dur
ing this half, and these, with an-
other basket by Nord. were the
only points that could be cornered
by the Cambridge squad. =
The Islanders. however, were
working together in fine form. and
the score when the whistle blew
was 2S-S.
Visitors Try Rally.
Cambridge came back strong In
the last round and II was several
minutes before the Islanders could
score. Duncan started the ball
rolling with one Of his over-eng-
lished shots that rolled through the
loop. During this period substitu-
tons in both teams were frequent.
The Cambridge coach had all OK his
men with the exception OF Brown

their places filed by subs. All the
regulars were put back into the
play before the game was over
With a lineup Of subs, the Island
ers did not do so well in the last
half, getting only Is points and
allowing Cambridge nine.
For the Islanders, Biehl and 10
senkranz were the individual stars
both on offense and defense. Biehli
long shots were a feature OF the
game and Captain Rosenkranz COW
cred the floor in fine style. besides
getting eight field goals. Henke
PLAYED his usual consistent game al
running guard.
For Cambridge. Captain Nord al
center was almost the whole team
He made most OF his teams points
and was a good. all-around player
Brown was another good player or
the Cambridge squad. The Cam
bridge five showed signs OF stale
ness throughout the whole con
test.
