He ran the team Well and his individual playing was good. That is about all we could ask of him, isn't it? See you next year, Art, TORREYSON-Tackle Torrey started the season at center but soon was shifted to tackle. His specialty was the defensive side of the question and it was his special delight to break up plays behind the other fel- loW's line of scrimmage. He played hard, fast foot ball throughout the season. Torrey has another year before being graduated and everyone expects great things of him again next year. Ti W1 4. Q. ex Q : lx . 9 N' .L ' t..

Coach Kirby had to build his team around these two men. He found an abundance of material in the freshman class. A The first game of the season was with our old rival, Macomb Normal. The Normal boys proved easy for the Hedding team and they were taken into camp to the tune of 42 to 10. The next game which was played in the High School gymnasium with .the Carthage Quintet fur- nished a great deal more opposition, though the fracas, ended favorably for us-30 to 19. After annexing our first two games at home, we took our annual trip.to Eureka and Brad- ley. This was the first appearance of the team on a large iioor. This with other difiiculties such as the referee, gave us our first defeat, 11 to 33. The following night we tackled the Bradley bunch. They were still smarting from the defeat received last year at the hands of the Hedding team and were out for revenge. The score at the end of the half stood 2 to 8 in their favor. Our boys came back strong in the second half, but the count at the end of the game was 8 to 16 with Bradley at the long end of it. The game was rough with very few fouls called on either side. The next game was a 1'eturn one with Eureka here. It started off with a bang. Neither side was able to score for the first two minutes. The Hedding team was getting two shots to Eureka's one, but the ball would not go' through the hoop. The score at the end of the half stood 1 to 5 in Eureka's favor. The second half both teams started hitting the basket. How- ever, we could not overcome the lead of the first half and went down in defeat by the small margin of 17 to 13. Our next opponent was Bradley. Hedding took the lead for the first ten minutes with Bradley completely bewildered at the fast passing of the local team. They called time out and changed their tactics, which turned the tables. They started shooting long shots which rapidly told on the score. Never has such luck or such skill been seen on the Hedding floor. Bradley took the long end of a 22 to 32 count. On February 25 and 26, the team journeyed to Macomb and Carthage-their last trip before the State Tournament. We met Macomb on the 25th in a listless game. The Hedding team was at all times in the lead. During the second half our subs were given a chance to show what they could do. They proved themselves and we brought home the bacon with a 27 to 16 score. On the following night the team went to Carthage and completely outclassed the Carthage quintet in all phases of the game. The listless playing of the night before had van- ished. The first half was hotly contested with the score standing 11 to 7. During the second half the Hedding team forged ahead to a 24 to 10 victory. . The night before the tournament the Alumni took us on for a game and were decisively defeated by the top heavy score of 38'to 17. The second team did most creditable work in the last quarter. VVe set forth for the big tournament, which was held at Decatur, at nine in the morning and arrived at three-thirty in the afternoon. Our first game was with Carbondale Normal at four-thirty the same afternoon. The first half ended 10 to 6 in our favor, but the second half told on the team. The game ended 18 to 24 in our opponent's victory. The next morning. feel- ing much refreshed, our team defeated Carthage for the third time this year. The score was 37 to 28. That afternoon we experienced a slump and lost to Illinois College 22 to 32. The season as a whole was a successful one with six games won and six lost. 1Ve now have a bunch of experienced men. Captain Keithley, who graduates this spring, is the only man we lose from the first team. The loss of this man, one of the cleanest players on the basket ball Hoor, will be keenly felt, but with the material we have, a very strong aggregation can be built next year. f fz--xg1afa,i1s2'K flair XX Seventy-eight
