THE COUNTY TOURNAMENT The county Tournament was played at Hoopeston with East Lynn playing the Rankin five. Within the last two sec- onds to play, East Lynn was leading one point but with only one second to play, Rankin's sparing forward Shepard dropped a beautiful left handed shot to take the game from East Lynn. The finals of the county Tournament -were held at West- ville with Indianola shaking' off all opponents and winning the 1940 County Championship. The scrappy north end Ross- ville five took second, Armstrong defeated Oakwood for third leaving Oakwood in fourth place.
