Pekin......56 Farmington ....55 Pekin......48 Central ........45 Just as it is impossible to name an outstanding player, so is it difficult to select the most thrilling games—except, of course the East Peoria game in the Regional and the Central game at Macomb, where the Chinks bounced back from a nine-point deficit to win 48-45. Then there was the week end during which Spring-field and Galesburg came to Chinkland and absorbed 65-44 and 77-60 drubbings. And we won't forget the 86-52 triumph over the Central Lions! The Chinks came close to both the Mini and Big Twelve titles, losing the former because they played fewer conference games than East Peoria and the latter because the two games they won from Central and Manual did not count in Big Twelve standings.
