fi'--rx fi? 2 ' wer.. L o. the game made the spectators doubt the ability of the referee to make accurate decisions. On February 23rd, Creighton came here for their third game with the T igers and walked away to a 33-12 victory in a game which was a stage act as far as basket shooting was concerned. From every angle with no ap- parent effort, Wise, Mahoney and Lynch caged four each. The Des Moines play was featured by the guarding of Burnette who time and again broke up the team play under the basket forcing the opponents to resort to long shots. The final game with Creighton was played two days later in Des Moines Gym. The game was a continuous thrill and was said by spectators to be the fastest game ever played in the city. With seven minutes to play, Des Moines leading 18-12, but two long shots from the center of the floor and a free throw gave Creighton the necessary lead to win by two points. Des Moines closed the season in a satisfactory manner by dancing to a 32-18 victory over Simpson at Indianola. A special train carried five hun- dred of the student body to that unassuming little' city in the vale and nothing could stop the Tigers. At half time the score stood 20-63 of the six points to the credit of Simpson, one field goal could be counted. Though Simpson was expecting to win, the Des Moines victory was easy. Rust had to his credit six field goals and Knox while toying with the Simpson wonder man, placed five field goals through the ring and four free throws. As a whole the season was very successful, having Won all but one of the games played in the state and that with Dubuque whom we have previously beaten three times. This record places Des Moines in the top list and as well qualified to the state title as any team in the state. Practically all of the men who composed the basketball team have at least one or two more years in school and the question of future teams in Des Moines University is extremely optimistic. We predict a winning team again next year under the able tutelage of Coach Bell.
