,..... i Basketball HE honors of the A. S. O. on the basketball court this year were defended by one of the strongest aggregations in the history of the school. With the return of six letter men, tive of whom were playing their third consecutive year together, and by the addition of a wealth of material from the freshmen and sophomore classes, Coach Sermon was able to round into shape a smoothfworking combination that was able to leave a trail of destruction wherever they played. They were defeated only twice, the Hillyards of St. Joseph, Mo., runnersfup in the A. A. U. tournament at Kansas City, Mo., being the only better team met the entire season. This group of athletes, captained by Rab Biggs, a former allflllinois high school man and a guard second to none, met their first opponents, the Hillyard Chemists, December 15 in the A. TS. O. gymnasium. This game marked the oflicial opening of the new gymnasium. The game was played before a record crowd of over fourteen hundred spectators. It was fast, clean and exciting, but they managed to draw into the lead dur- ing the last quarter leaving the court with a hardfearned victory of 42f31 after giving an exhibition of the kind of basketball that made their reputation. During the succeeding weeks the following teams were encountered and easily dis' posed of in rapid succession: Jan. I2 Chillicothe Business College-at Kirksville 3916 Jan I4 Warrensburg Teachers-at Warrensburg 3747 Jan IQ Central College-at Kirksville . . . 4918 Jan 11,1 Iowa Wesleyan-at Kirksville . 2'1,'1'5 Feb I jackson University-at Chillicothe . 33f23 At this time the Hillyards were again met, this time on their home court, and the A. S. O. was defeated 25f16. This was the second and last defeat of the season. On February 21 the Centerville Universals at Centerville, Iowa, were defeated by thelscore of 25912. With this victory the season, shorter than usual, ended, Page 206 A i i 1 I r V- r. Ciqj l i ? i Q I
