Rock Island and Moline grabbed
of all the honors of the first all
district team, the edge going TO
Moline, three to two. Both schools
placed one man on each of the
second teams and the other three
positions were awarded to Atkin-
son, Savanna and Geneseo. The
selections were made by the Off
Gals of the tournament, M W.
Zipoy of Joliet and J. F. Brashears
of JOY
The honor teams were announced
at the end of the first half of the
Moline-Annawan game Saturday
night and seemed TO meet with the
hearty approval OF the spectators.
Announcement Of each name was
greeted by enthusiastic applause.
In naming Schmidt of Moline and
Alvine of Rock Island guards on
the first squad. the officials un-
doubtedly picked the two strongest
men in the tournament for the
positions, although many though,
Mahoney. Moline's fast running
guard, should have been consid-
cred, at least on the second team.
Toline of Moline was logical choice
for center His basket shooting
and f1oorwork was good through
out. Shelter of Rock Island was
the right choice for one forward.
His scrappy qualities and ability to
play the ball were outstanding
points in his favor. Heider of Mo-
line earned the other forward pos, =
ton because of his ability to shoot
free throws, an important factor i'll
the success of any team.
A better selection than Midget
Simpson for forward on the second
team could hardly have been made.
K. Graham of Atkinson. an excel
lent basket shot. was the proper
choice for the other forward posi-
ton. Klemm OF Savanna display
ed sterling qualities at the center
post. A. Schultz of Geneseo very
likely would have placed on the
first team if his squad had not been
eliminated at the start by Rock Is
land. knanishu of Rock Island at
the other guard position combines
ability to shoot baskets, play the
floor and guard well.

DISTRICT BATTLE
TALK AND TATTLE

Well. Moline won the tournament
and Rock Island 1 third 9. Moline
will represent the district Mt the
sectional tournament probably at
Peoria. Winners of the sectional
tournaments will battle for the
state title at Urbana.
Young Canter, Moline's yell lead
er. wasn't big headed or anything
like that, but he just presumed he
had the entire crowd under his
authority when he waltzed out on
the floor and ordered the yelling to
stop when Heider was preparing
to shoot free throw.
The teams were tired Saturday
night and little action was shown
in the contests. A fairly large crowd
was present and it even seemed to
show the strain of the three days
ordeal.
Toward the windup of the last
game the Rock Island rooters' in
terest turned from basketball to
the boys of the high school that
were there with lady friends and
started advertising them to the
throng by organized yells The boys
were proud to think they had a
girl, yet they hated to have the gang
tell the whole world
Captain Shelter certainly must
have had a date Or some sort of an
urgent engagement that made it I'M
possible for him to be present on
the last night of the big meet.

ginning OF the contest and played
On about an equal basis in the first
hall. Rock Island ended the first
half with only two-point lead. s
to 8: Shirtly after the beginning
or the second session s. Mowers
made the field goal that tied the
score at eight points each. Specta-
tors and the Rock Island players
were not in doubt at any time as
to the outcome of the contest even
when the score was close. as thew
both fully realized that the team
could step out at any time and in
sure victory. The locals seemed
reluctant to exert themselves un-
necessarily. The lineups.

SWEDES CRUSH
ANNAWAN TEAM
IN final GAME
Islanders Play ListiessIy In Defeat
ing Atkinson for Third
Position.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

Moline won the title game of the
district basketball tournament by
an overwhelming score from An
nawan, 46 to 10, Saturday night in
the Augustana gymnasium. Sec
ond rank in the tourney goes to
Annawan, the champion Of class B
teams.
Rock Island settled the argu-
ment for third place by defeating
Atkinson, "a to II, in the finals.
Rock Island, Moline and Geneseo
were the three strongest aggrega-
tons in the tournament. but for
the method of matching the teams
by class Rock Island would have
had second place. There is no
doubt but that the locals could
have defeated the Annawan crew.
The three strongest teams were
placed in class A, and IS a conse
quence they had to eliminate each
other in the initial rounds of play.
After the first five minutes of
play in the deciding game Moline
had everything its own way. The
PloWs, as usual, were slow in get
ting started, but when the attack
got under way one basket after an
other rolled in rapidly Fast floor
work and accurate basket shooting
proved altogether too much for the
smaller town boys who had great
difficulty in even getting a shot at
their hoop. The Swedes were con-
siderably larger and taller than the
Annawan fighters, which gave them
the advantage all the way around.
The tournament victors used the
bounce pass a great deal, but they
are a long way from having 1t
mastered TO any useful degree The
play was interrupted frequently by
substitutions. Moline's entire sec
ond string squad was in the game
within a few minutes after the sec
ond half began.
g HeidPr is Star.
Heider, Moline's big captain,
starred for the victors by hitting
the loop for six field goals and
four free throws. Heider stood out
during the entire tournament as the
best free thrower present He
missed only a very small percent
age of his chances. Mahoney was
one of the fastest guards that ap-
peared on the floor, and with Simp-
son, another good floor man, did
his share to bring the Moline team
to the front row. Toline was a
dangerous man beneath the basket
and the majority of his points were
made after the ball had been work
ed down the floor. Schmidt, the
big Moline guard, defended his goal
well and very few shots were given
to the opponents. Holmer, one OF
the second string men who was in
jected toward the end of the con-
test, showed good ability at basket
shooting, caging three counters
within short time.
The Annawan lads knew that
they were outclassed before they
entered the game, but cared little.
for defeat meant second place to
them. They were a good team. but
nothing to compare with Rock Is
land, Geneseo or Moline They sue
ceeded in getting only two field
goals, one by Boyd and one by Ev-
erett, against Moline. The other
six points were made on free
throws. They were powerless to
start anything with the Swede del
egation, but fought hard. The

New Heavy Pops Up.

On the horizon c. every cham
pion at sometime or other in the
course of his career appears a
cloud, small enough, yet not too
small to attract the kings atten-
ton. He watches it, sees it as
sumo size and wonders whether it
means a small storm or a cyclone.
Today over in Jersey after a hunt
through Harrison, information was
given that Billy Moore, the 10
year-old heavyweight who knocked
TarZan Larkln out in one round

school. Yep. Billy is a school boy,
boyish and clean cut And growing
all the time. Looking him over at
the recess, one wondered whether
within few years this lad will
be standing forth as the man that
Jack Dempsey, or whoever holds
the title-lOoks as though it will be
Jack-has to fear. Billy is modest,
real American and not inclined
to say anything about his pugil-
istic ambitions at all.

THE MAKER OF AMIABLE PHRASES

It is possible that one of the most distin- guished services which history will have to record of Mr. Woodrow Wilson will be his contribution to the picturesque phraseology of the nation. Expressions eloquent and graph ic, high-sounding and mellifluous, have been striking characteristic of his utterances ever since he emerged into public life 1t was the stirring and elevated flavor of his lan- guage during the "watehful2waiting" policy with Mexico, the "too proud-to-fight" and neutral in our thoughts" interim of the great war, the "world- safe -democracy" uphft of our belated participation, the "pigmy- minds' aloofness of the Treaty signing and the "matching- of minds'' in which we came off so unhappily at Versailles, which gave to MT. Wilson's leadership the effect of staunch and fervid purpose which his acts failed re- peatedly and signally to substantlate In the retirement of the President as the result of repudiation by the nation unique in it's volume of expression, MT. Wilson appears not to have lost his facility of phrase. In his speech on Saturday, felicitating the return of Democ- racv to the fold, MT. Wilson confesses yet the consciousness of the presence of those ''puny minds'' which have the temerity still to stand in the way of a "moving Providence = Providence we take it, wont to find it's mouth piece in the Democratic party, which. with s'cleared minds' and purified hearts" is prepared to give to the country the "service it needs most'' and the "canddate who can best render that service'' No President that we have ever had has given us braver phrases than these--nor more innocuous. And while we are sincerely glad to find that Mr. Will sons phrase-making facility is unimpaired, since vital and picturesque contributions to the language are always to be welcomed, it is reassuring also to hear from his lips that the desired ends in human affairs are not to be brought about by "amiable phrases" There Mr. Wilson speaks, as always, profound truth-just how profound perhaps no one knows from more telling experience than he.

familiar With Alaska" are some of the horde who travel to Alaska at Government expense each spring with the geese, only later, and re- turn even before the birds start south in the fall. Of course, those men would lose their jobs, or at least their junketing trips, if the Government of Alaska were placed in the hands of men compelled to live in the Terri tory the year round. However, if the thirty eight bureaus now governing Alaska from Washington, several thousand miles away, could be merged into some effective federal organization residing in Alaska with author ity to administer the natural resources of the Territory, and a few million miles of Govern ment red tape abolished, the pioneer life in Alaska would be more attractive. Then, in- stead of the splendid type of energetic people leaving the Territory more of that kind would be attracted there, and the population would increase"
The Cordova daily times., 1922-11-14
WHAT AILS ALASKA?

Under the above captain, the following was written to the editor of the Engineering Min ing Journal Press by Maurice D. Leehey, prom inent attorney, in repsone to an article ap- bearing in that publication.
 'While in Alaska I read in your issue of August 12the the item on page 295 about the decreased population of that territory. You quote "Officals in Washington familiar with Alaska" and recite the explanation now being made everywhere by these government bureau crats, and the extreme conservationists, that the exhaustion of the bonanza placers is solely responsible for the 30 per cent decrease in the white population of Alaska shown by the last census.
 ''Then how do they explain the decrease in population in those parts of Alaska where there never was placer mining9 How do they explain the empty buildings in the abandoned towns which were once prosperous settlements of an energetic people attracted by the depos- its of coal and metalsY Why the desolation of communities right along the coast with ocean transportation and abundant timber and wonderful resources other than placer goldq The people who left were not attracted there by placer mining.
 "I presume these ''Officials in Washington
