and arrived none the worse for our short ride.f We had been continually receiving reports from the games and with excited imagination running wild, thought of ourselves in all sorts of basket ball predicaments. Only one who has ever participated in a basket ball tournament can realize the nervous tension and strain that even the most seasoned player undergoes before an important game. At eleven o'clock Friday morning the team jogged on the floor at the huge Peoria High School gymnasium to meet their first foe, Dunlap. A large squad of enthusiastic rooters accompanied the team and soon managed to convince the Peorians that Trivoli boys would not lack backing from the side lines. Somehow the Trivoli boys could not hit their stride and the game became rather listless in spite of the closeness of the score. The team with only three minutes to play began to show some of their usual form and functioned like a real basket ball machine should function. The final score was 17-11. Following the game that part of the tournament that all players detest had to be endured. To bed and to sleep were the orders. The first part was dutifully obeyed, but it is very doubtful if many of the fellows slept. At eight o'clock Friday evening the team came on the floor for the second game of the tournament with Brimfield. Trivoli had previously beat Brimfield twice, but too the fact that the Trivoli boys seemed in a slump we all realized that it was to be a very close game. The game from the first was snappy and kept the spectators on their feet, so in- tense was the excitement. At the first half, Trivoli held a slight lead but the third quarter saw the lead diminished. With three minutes left to play and Trivoli leading by one point a Brimfield player tossed a field goal. The one point lead, small as it was, was enough to win the all-important game. It was a down-hearted bunch of fellows that filed off the court, knowng that not only had the game been lost but also that it was the last time that five should ever play together under the colors of good old T. C. H. S. Determined to try and forget their defeat, all the members of the team stayed in Peoria and witnessed the remaining games. The tourn- ament certainly deserved the name of the tourney of upsets because on no less than five occasions did teams that were rated vastly inferior to their opponents surprise everyone and win their games. In view of this fact we tried to console ourselves that we were not the! only: ones who had suddenly been turned around to see Fate camping on our trail. - ' The Macomb Invitation Track and Field Meet On May 12, 1923, Lloyd Goodman.

In most of the tournaments we were forced to arrive a day in advance of the opening game in order that the required rest might be obtained. However, Friday morning we ilivvered to Peoria via the eleventh wonder of the world namely the hard road between Trivoli and Peoria Page Eighty-seven
