feating Henderson 10 to and Henry 

 by 7 to 1. Macon defeated Boone 8-2 

 and Tazewell 15-4 before meeting Will. 

 Will won the state title in 1941 and 

 1942. Macon won in 1940. This was 

 the first season of play since 1940. 



Some 105 teams and 1500 players 

 competed in the seven divisional tourna- 

 ments for Softball state titles. 



At the Thursday evening program in 

 Memorial stadium Dr. George D. Stod- 

 dard, president of the University of Il- 

 linois, told the farm audience he could 

 think of nothing finer (than the festival) 

 in this disorganized world. 



"It does our hearts good to see you 

 out there on our campus having a good 

 time. We want you back and we shall 

 look forward to it," Stoddard said. 



Other speakers who welcomed the farm 

 visitors were F. E. Morris, of Buffalo, 

 vice president of the Illinois Agricultural 

 Association, George E. Metzger, lAA 

 field secretary, and Dr. W. E. Carroll, 

 acting dean of the College of Agriculture. 



The Shelby county square dance teams 

 and the Jasper county kitchen band were 

 two of the acts from the folk festival 

 that appeared on the evening program. 

 Radio artists from WLS and WDZ were 

 also featured. 



After a program spectators attended 

 a swing and square dance jamboree held 

 at Huff gym.
