f ' --WTP ------ ' the game proceeded. But after a few minutes of play the Trivoli offensive broke loose with a barrage of baskets, such that, at the third quarter Coach Peters entered the subs into the fray. But they had no soft spots in their hearts and the onslaught continued until the final gun, which found Trivoli on the long end of a 42-10 score. The boys were allowed to see the remaining games of the day because the next game was not until 2 P. M. Friday. Trivoli had downed Fairview twice before during the season but were rather uncertain be- cause Fairview told them they were going to pull a big surprise on them. The roll was called at 2 P. M. and every man was found at his post ready to do his best for the honor of his school. The game was fast and furious and from the start to the finish but Fairview's surprise failed to function well against Trivoli's five man defense and the end came rather calmly at 20-23. The next foe to oppose the gang on the road to success was Sher- rard. This team was rated as one of the best in the tournament, and every one knew that some real stepping must be done if Trivoli came out on top. The game was called by Allen at 10 A. M. Saturday morning. This was a fight from the first whistle until the final gun. The score sawed back and forth throughout the entire game with first one in the lead and then the other. With three minutes to go and Trivoli one point in the lead, one of the Sherrard basketeers sank a field goal which spelled defeat for our boys. The final score was 21-22, whch left a heart broken bunch of boys, a dsappointed coach and a chance to play Versailles for third place at 4 P. M. It was a discouraged aggregation which appeared on the floor that afternoon, not caring much for anything except revenge on some- body. The game was never in doubt for the Trivoli tribe after the first halfg and the last game of the tournament found Trivoli holding third place by a 31-20 score over Versailles. Well, we won third place anyway, fellows. Aw! What of it? There isn't any cup in it. It was then that a miracle happened. A man was met on the street and after being informed that we had defeated Versailles said, Here's a cup for you. And we were presented with a beautiful silver loving cup. Boy, it may here be stated that it was a more agreeable bunch that left Ma- comb on the 8:30 train Sunday morning for home via the route Bush- nell, Peoria and Trivoli. C. D.

' --GEF -- ' St. Patrick's Party A very pleasant evening was enjoyed by the members of the bas- ket ball team and their friends at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Ellinwood, March 13. The party began at 7:45, and from then on, the gudsts were entertained by games and tricks. The idea of St. Patrick's day was carried out in the decorations and favors. The host and hostess proved to be past masters of the art of entertaining and crowded every minute full of fun. Later on a dainty lunch was served, consisting of ice cream, cake and other delicacies. When the cuckoo clock struck twelve, the crowd adjourned but not before thanking the host and hostess for their kindness. Those present were the Misses Edna Harshbarger, Beulah Hurt, Theodosia Anderson, Gladys Linck, Miriam Bourne, Jessie Gillett, Vio- let Quinn, Gladys McMasters, Helen Davis and Mrs. J. R. Bourne, also, the Messrs. Russell Peters, Charles Hovendon, Donald Bourne, Chester Anderson, Edgar Flinn, Ira Phillips, Marshall McCullough, Lloyd Goodman and J. R. Bourne. This is only one of the many times when the Ellinwoods have helped the athletes and in fact, all the school, in their various enterprises and activities. B. H., l27. T-R-I-V-O-L-I Oh what is Trivoli and where is it found? I'll tell you dear friends in words that are sound. It's a bit of a town that makes many folks laugh, Tell them itls where they separate wheat from the chaff. At our basket ball games the inhabitants shout, Though Trivoli is down it is never out. Its a bit of a place with a great big heart That helps us along in whatever we start. Though its a one-horse-town its our old home town. The place where old friends and acquaintance we found. Though far afield to new places we roam, That wee bit of a town will always be home. C. A., '24. Page Eighty-five
