The Edgerton high school basketball
team left for Beloit on the $40 train to
enter the Beloit basketball tournament
They drew Belvidere high, believed to
be the dark horse of the tournament.
But Edgerton eliminated Belvidere,
title winners for the past two years, in
holly contested battle. The score was
1914 in favor of Edgerton.
Showing the best form of the six
teams on the Beloit college floor Fri
day, Edgerton handed the Illinois five
the surprise of its life. Edgerton
slashed into the combat, fighting from
the start. In fifteen seconds MADISON
swished a looping shot through the
meshes. O'Brlen, the Belvidere out
standing star, evened the score. The
first quarter ended "A. Edgerton's
center, Bardeen, gave Edgerton the
lead by sensational shot. Belvidere
from then on trailed on behind, the
half ending 1877 in favor of Edgerton.
In the second half Edgerton did not
fight as hard and Belvidere Gagged three
baskets to Edgerton's one. But the
game ended with score of 1914 in
favor of Edgerton. Then Edgerton ap-
peared to be the best team in the
tournament.
The next morning at $50 o'clock Ed
gerton played Monticello, which handed
Beloit defeat the day previous. Ed
gertOn was eliminated by Monticello in
slow game, the score being 1916 in
favor of Monticello. The game started
with scrap but soon stopped. The
score was once TT, but from then on
Monticello made Edgerton trail behind.
The first half ended 11-9 in favor of
Monticello. The second started as slow
as ever. Monticello, by some unusual
luck, got three long range shots before
Eidgerton woke up. Edgerton then
threw their whole strength into the
contest and outclassed their opponents,
only letting them get one basket to
their two. Time was called out when
there were three minutes to go, and
the score was 1918. The game was
apparently cinched, but games are
sometimes won when scores are one
sided. They are generally read about
in the papers but rarely seen. Edger-
ton surprised Monticello by getting
three points and holding them score
less, but it was too late. The game
ended with score of 1916 in favor of
Monticello. Edgerton did not play bas-
ketball against Monticello. Their passes
were poor and lacked fighting qualities
But the hard fought battle, only seven
teen hours before, took all of their en-
ergy, while Monticello had played
against an easy team. But Edgerton
held the tournament winners to closer
score than any other team, thus prov
ing Edgerton the possible second place.
But as only first place was given, we
are out of it. MonticeIlo's team re-
ceived silver cup and the best player
a sweater.
Preparations are now being made for
the Milton tournament which is to be
held on March l and 2.
