The Southern outfit was still menaced with a decided inability to find the basket. With but a few minutes left, the score was deadlocked at 18 all, but the Teachers could not hold their own. Showing the same iight and spirit that they displayed in the three previous games, the Southerners won over the Shurtleff Pioneers 33-17, at Shurtleff. Playing their third game of the week the Maroons gave Cape Girardeau a second drubbing, 31-19. Showing the same fight which had Won for them an early season game, the Teachers easily outscored the Missourians, and were never seriously menaced by the Cape. Improved shooting and better passing decided the contest. Two games were dropped by the Teachers on the home floor in the space of four nights. First the Maroons met defeat at the hands of the Gentlemen of Centenary College of Shreveport, Louisiana, 30-25. Then the Murray Teachers romped away with a listless game, the score being 25-22. Shurtleff handed the Southerners their third consecutive defeat, 35-28. Leads changed many times during the game and the final outcome was doubtful until the Pioneers went into a shooting spree with but a few minutes of the game left to play. The fourth and fifth losses in succession were suffered on a road trip that included games at Lebanon and at Murray, Kentucky. McKendree delivered the Southern Teachers a hard blow, the final score reading, 37-27. The Murray Thoroughbrcds came from behind and registered their second win of the season over the Maroons. 35-31 was the score at the end of the fray. 1931 State Teachers College Basketball Tourney The Southern Teachers failed successfully to defend the championship of Illinois State Teachers Colleges won by their 1930 team. This year the Maroons were hosts to three of the Teachers Colleges of the state and the Chicago Normal School of Chicago.
