test for Heners at Augustana
Gymnasium.
By Art WILLIAMS.

All details incident to the district
basketball tournament at Augustana
college gymnasium Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. have been COM
pleted by the Moline high SCHOOL
athletic association, under whose
auspices the vent is to be staged,
and all that remains is to await the
starters gun Thursday night at
O'Clock, when Annawan and Rey-
nolds will CLASH In the opening game
of the class B division. Nothing
has been overlooked by the Moline
authorities to make this tournament
one of the best in the state. Much
attention has been given to pro-
viding for the entertainment and
accommodation of players and fol-
lowers of the various teams while
in the twin-cities.
The sophomore class OF Angus
tana college has rendered its serv-
ices as a reception committee. Mem
bers of this class will meet all
trains on which players and out-of-
town fans are scheduled to arrive,
10 direct them to the various sleep
ing quarters. The sophs also VIII
endeavor to entertain the visitors
while the tourney games are not be-
ing played.
For the convenience OF visitors,
light lunches and refreshments VIII
be served in the gymnasium annex
at all times by Augustana students.
Nominal charges will be made for
the food. For those who prefer
heavier meals, the college cafeteria
will be at their service during the
regular meal hours.
Programs listing the names OF
players, their numbers, season rec
ords of the teams and schedule OF
all games, will be sold for cents
each by members of the senior class
of the college. Bulletin boards in
the gymnasium will display the
names and numbers of the players
occupying the floor and will carry
the running account of each game.
Plenty of Music
There will be plenty of music.
Augustana's military band will be
on duty at all evening sessions, and
the Boy Scout band of Rock Island
has been secured to play Saturday
morning. Some other organization
|. is expected to donate services for
n Friday morning and afternoon.
From all indications record
crowds will witness the games. The
small towns from the district are
expected to be represented not only
by their high school teams but by
hundreds of rabid followers as we'll.
Geneseo is particularly enthusiasts
tic about its prep school aggrega-
tion and its prospects for capturing
the titular honors. GeneSeo will
send many rooters to Rock Island,
more than one-third of Geneseo's 290
enrolment having secured tickets.
Although enrolment at Orion
high school is only 81, rs student
tickets have already been disposed
of at that place. This is indication
enough of the spirit that will come
prepared to back the cagers of ORR
on.
Savanna also expects to send
big delegation as that city believes
it has good chance to cop first
honors in the major division.
Rock Island and Moline fans are
purchasing their pasteboards at a
rapid rate. These are to be had at
the College pharmacy, Seventh ave-
nue. and Thirty-eighth street, and at
Lethin brothers in Moline. 1t is
believed the reserved seats will all
be disposed of before the tourney
begins.
