THE CENTRAL STATES PREP TOURNAMENT St. Thomas opened its first round of tourna- ment played at Davenport by defeating St. Mary's of lowa City 21-13. In the first half the game was close, but in the second half St. Thomas began slowly to draw away from their taller opponents. ln the second game of the tournament St. Thomas defeated St. Peter's of Keokuk 23-21 and won the right to play Spalding in the semi- finals. The game was exciting and both teams were evenly matched. St. Peter's was classed as one of the most powerful teams in the tournament. St. Thomas met and lost to Spalding in the semi-finals by a score of 25-17. In the first half St. Thomas played their much larger op- ponents to a standstill-the score being 12-10 at the half in favor of Peoria. But in the third quarter the strain of playing its third game in two days began to tell on the Tommies and slowly Peoria with the Crack Hannon in the van began to draw away from the Paws making ta., Y - 'i.x. nine points in this period, while St. Thomas went scoreless. Inspired by some unknown agent the Paws came back in the fourth quarter and clearly outplayed the Peoria boys and at the same time scored seven points to Spalding's five. St. Thomas again played St. Peters but this time in the consolation tournament and incident- ly for the right to play for third place in the meet. This game was without doubt the class- iest game played in the tournament. Donahue, left guard of St. Peters', kept his team in the running by scoring 9 of his team's points. This was the second time St. Thomas defeated St. Peter's by a 23-21 score. St. Thomas met St. Patrick's in the prelim- inary game to the St. Ambrose-Spalding Cham- pionship game for third place. Completely worn out from their afternoon game, the Paws went into the game with a determination to give the best that was in them. And they did. At the half St. Pat's led by a 12-10 score, but their freshness soon began to tell on the weary players and St. Thomas lost by a 21-15 score. ., ,v.. , at pm
