HHSIlllHHll Moberly vs. Wentworth jan. 16, 1942 Three days after the C. B.C. game our team returned to a home game with Wentworth as our op- ponents, We were on a winning streak and Vlfentworth failed to break it up as we piled up 48 points to the Military boys' 32 points. Moberly vs. Hannibal jan. 20, 1942 A very close first half ended with Moberly leading by 1 point in a 10 to 95 corner. Six of our points in the first half were free throws. The second half was just as exciting as we pulled ahead and won the third game in a row with final score of 26 to- 20. Co-Captain Ikey Wallace was high point man of the game with 7 points. Moberly vs. Kemper Jan. 23, 1942 Moberly was host to the big tall Kemper boys. We couldn't do any good with those small giants and hardly got even a rebound shot. Our boys were in there fighting but the excess height of Kemper was a decisive factor of their winning the game by a 36 to 23 score. Bishop, a 6' 2 newcomer from Fayette did all right in his first game for M. J. C. by scoring 5 of the home team's points. Moberly vs. Flat River Jan. 30, 1942 Playing with Coach Don Fau- rot, from Missouri University, as referee, Coach McCormick's team didn't let the Kemper defeat affect their playing against Flat River. VVe, took an early lead with Click- ner leading the pack with his 14 points and followed closely by Bis- hop, Wallace and Miller. Our boys covered Flat River up with the same 39 to 26 and another victory for Moberly. , Moberly vs. Kemper Feb. 3, 1942 With only a one-game inter- mission our boys went to Boonville for a return game with Kemper to meet those long, tall boys on their home court. From the first blo-w of the whistle Kemper went past us and piled up a safe lead and held it fast all during the game as they handed us .our worst defeat of the season by smothering us 54 to 31. Fouls Moberly 18, Kemper 19. Moberly vs. Wentworth Feb. 6, 1942 To our fellows this is the long- est trip of the basketball season and they surely wanted to- make good but the defeat by Kemper still had us in a daze and the boys just couldn't seem to hit the bas- ket. After a long hard battle, with our boys in the game every minute. we lost our one-point lead at the half and came out with the short end of a 31 to: 29 score. FIFTY-THREE
