shot a lightning-like pass back-

ward, sight unseen, to Ray Mc- |’

Clure, who had followed him into
the play. “Rabbit” cocked one
eye at the hoop, and two more
points were rung up. The crowd
just went “whew.”

Hit Basket Fast.

It’s impossible to single out any
phase of the Galesburg play for
special mention, but the most note-
worthy feature of the drive which
registered over two points per
minute came at the opening of the
second quarter. Galesburg had
piled up a 17-8 lead in ihe initial
period, but; the gym, full of peo-
ple, had little idea of what was to
come,

Ray McClure banged one home,
Graham followed suit, and Mc-
Clure then made it three straight
in a breath-taking drive. Muzz
Barstow then missed one, and ap-
parently the game was going
back to normal. But Barstow
came right back to ring the bell,
Jimmy Evans added two so fast
the scorer’s pencil got hot, and
Del Graham hit a bucket. That
made seven successful shots in
eight attempts, some kind of rec-
ord. That drive stretched the
Burger lead to 34-11 in just half
the quarter. The locals “slowed
down” and only scored nine more
tallies to let the halftime count
read at, 40-17. Galesburg thus in
one half made as many markers
as the Little Giants did in the
whole game.

Only 16 points were chalked up
for GHS in the third stanza, when
the shot percentage of 5 out of
16 was the lowest of any period
in the game. The peak was the
last quarter, when an exact 50
per cent was attained on a 9-out-
of-18 record. The Streaks fattened
their lead to 56-23 in the third
quarter.

Earl Boyd took over the cen-
ter job’ entering the final period,
and aided the varsity to whiz up-
wards to a 70-30 advantage when
Coach Phillips sent in Bob Wil-
. liams, George Lundeen, Jerry Mc-
Coy and Lloyd Hawkinson. The
reserves added 11 points in the
last four minutes, and Canton
perked up by getting ten. George
Lundeen ended the game by

boosting the Galesburg score from

75 to 81 single-handedly.
Grove Leads Giants.

Captain Bob. Grove was the
siege gun and mainstay of the at-
tack for Coach Willard Larson’s
boys, as he dialed 14 points. Al-
though the Fulton countyans were
absorbing an almost disheartening
defeat, Canton played hard during
the entire game, as shown by their
burst to end the struggle. Each
team used its full tournament
roster of ten men.

At the conclusion of the game,
‘Principal Edgar L. Harden of
GHS announced that 25 patients
from Mayo General hospital were
guests, and as they rose, a huge
burst of applause greeted them.
Richard V. Lindsey, superintend-
ent of schools, then gave the run-
ner-up trophy to Captain Grove
of Canton and the championship
award té Jimmy Evans, captain of
the Galesbusg team last night,

 

If Haegg is defeated he will
suffer the same fate that befell
Paavo Nurmi of Finland in 1925;
Edvin Wide of Sweden in 1927 and
Otto Peltzer of Germany in 1928.

Nurmi became ill the night of
the 1925 race and didn’t even start

while Lloyd Hahn beat out Wide :
Both

Hahn and Ray Conger finished] .
far ahead of the soundly beaten | *

by a single step in 4:12.2.

Peltzer in the 1928 competition.
Rafferty, Fordham’s iron mite
who has triumphed in six straight
mile features, also is on the ailing
list with a bad cold. Haakan Lid-
man, Stockholm’s hurdler-sports
editor, doesn’t expect to be up to
par either, having banged his

knee in winning the 60-yard high

hurdles a week ago.
Fifty-five foursomes are book-
ed in the various relays.
