AtkinSon-Annawan
The first game merely whetted
the appetite of the assembled fans
who were anticipating a real bat
tie between the teams from Atkin-
son and Annawan. The game was
a real thriller from start to finish,
notwithstanding the fact that An
nawan was in the lead at the be-
ginning of the game with a count
of five to nothing. Nothing un-
daunted by these odds the Atkin-
son team set to work and Gagged
three baskets from floor while An
nawan added three more points, the
period ending: Annawan 8, Atkin-
son 6. In the second session the
Atkinson lads put forth all of their
ability to overcome this lead, scant
as it was. Annawan stubbornly
met every advance. The game
quickly veered to all parts of thu
floor with Annawan losing counts
on several losses which were good
hits but brought no scores. Every
Ione heayed a great sigh of relief
as the timekeeper's pistol closed the
half with the score a tie at 13
each.
The third period was the most
closely guarded portion of the
game. The room was warmer than
usual with telling effect upon the
players, who were firing very per-
ceptibly. Determination to win was
easily discernible upon the faces
of every one of the ten players on
the floor. This quarter closed with
the score board registering: Atkin i
son Is, Annawan Is. Atkinson was
in the lead throughout this. quar-
ter, gaining the advantage on a.
free throw and following it with a
field goal, only to have Annawan
toss a basket for two points just
prior to the close of the period
Pandemonium reigned as the
teams lined up for the tip-up at the
beginning of the final quarter. The
partisans of each team were shout
ing encouragement to their repre-
sentatives. Annawan, soon after the
first clash scored a field goal and
went into the lead, II to Is. Akin
son tied the count on a free throw
and then took the lead on another
re throw. The same privilege en- !

MOLINE five
LOSE TILT TO
ALED0 SCHOOL
Quintet Battle Here Last Night
Ends IN Favor of Locals by
Score of SO to 6.
Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, Jan. 28.-Last night the
Aledo high school basketball quin-
tet scored a victory of 33 to over
the Browns Business college squad
of Moline at the local William and
Vashti college gym. The second
string men of the local high school
defeated New Boston high to the
tune of 81 to 10.
From start to finish the Moline
lads were outclassed by the local
five in the art of basket shooting.
The excellent guarding of G. Steph-
ems and Prouty for the locals was
responsible for the small score OF
the visitors. NOorhead, center for
Aledo, was the greatest point gain
er in the battle, making a total of
IL points on field goals. Although
the visitors had but half a chance
with the Aledoans they fought hard
in every stage of the game and the
locals struggled hard for. their 50
points.
The attendance at the game was
unusually good. About % members
of the Aledo kiwanis club attend
ed in a body. Between the halves
the F-iwanians staged a tilt of their
own but after playing for ten min
utes none were able to get the ball
through the hoop so they turned
the floor over to those that could.
Those starring for the 1--WE Build
erS" were: Drs. Johnston and Mar
quis, Bunny Farr. A. X. Philleo.
George Beck and Emil Bjorkman.
AS a result of this tilt Emil is
wearing a new pair of spectacles
today.
In the fourth quarter Moline
came back strong and little scoT-
ing was done by the locals. The
visitors played in hard luck, many
of their throws missing by but a
few inches. Wells replaced Boult-
inghouse as right forward for the
Aledoans in the third quarter and
made three pretty shots in rapid
succession. J. B. Brashear of Joy
refereed the tilt.
/ Wednesday night the local five
will meet the Woodruff high school
crack quintet at the local gym.
When the two teams met few

close margin of IL to 10.

second game which was played be-
tween Atkinson and Annawan.
game from the other and the game
of last night was "a battle royal"
The first game which was played
between Orion and Geneseo proved
to be a rather easy victory for Cen
eseo. Coach Pruitt endeavored to
work as many men of his team as
consistently possible and opened
the second half with substitutes. In
the final quarter Orion showed a
flash which compelled the re-eptry
into the game of peanuts" Schultz,
who steadied the second string fell
lows and carried them to the final
whistle without any further dam
age being done.
The Orion team presented a fay-
Orable impression, being players of
good size and rugged appearance.
Walker, one of the subs, started the
game at a forward position and
brought joy to the hearts of the
Geneseo team by caging the first
three baskets from floor which
were credited to his team. He made
two of these in the first period
which with a free throw count by
Captain Schultz brought five points
TO the Maple City lads against a
single point on free throw by
proteges of Coach Pruitt speeded
up their play and ran up total
of IA points at the close of the half.
Meanwhile Orion obtained another
point by the free throw route and
two by the only basket which they
obtained in the entire first half on
a counter by Palmgren. Score at
the end of the half: Geneseo IA, Or

Hamann and Spence were the
point getters for Geneseo in the
second half, and each looped two
baskets. Spence was called upon
to toss four free throws after Cap

the game and registered on two OF

of the third quarter stood: Genoseo
%. Orion 10. In the last quarter
Orion scored a total of eight tai

Geneseo could get; the final count

Conserving their strength and

anxiety he piled up four personal
fouls and was compelled to leave
the game. Lndgren was called
upon to shoot free throws after
Palmgren had missed five or six
chances. Lindgren counted with
six points on eight efforts. Cap

in this department OF the game than
on any previous game OF the sea-
