DR.. Knipe. coach Iowa team-We
were beaten, fairly beaten. L am not
disappointed in one sense. and yet in
anotf er am. lam not disappointed
in that did not expect Iowa to make
such a wonderful showing against
Northwestern as the press had led the
public to expect. The team has been
made to appear superior to others of
its class beyond all reason, and real
izing this am thankful that we Jared
as well as we did, although in the
strict sense of the term l feel the
same disappointment that any man
would who is wrapt up in his
men, is proud of them and
who always looks for the best results
from them. AS for Northwestern,
there is no team that l would have
preferred to do the trick that was ac-
complished today than Northwestern.
The Iowa team, however, has nothing
to regret, small as is the degree of
comfort that comes to them as a re-
suit of the game. They played their
customary earnest game, exhibited at
every stage the excellence of team
work with which the members have
been coached. They had worthy
rivals and under such conditions
could afford to lose.
Notes of the Game.
E. H. Brewster, of Dixon, came to
Rock Island yesterday to see the foot
ball game.
B. D. Buford came down to his old
home from Northwestern university,
where he is a student in medicine, to
assist in doing the honors to the
purple.
To say that local friends of North
western were proud last night does
not express it. They looked upon
the result of the game almost as a
vindication.
Outside the grounds everything
that commanded view of the field
was loaded with human freight. Pole
climbers were used to mount the
trolley poles and men and boys sat on
the cross arms and power wires.
No run made during the game
would compare with the 100-yard
dash of party of ladies after the
being the last car to Sears.
The Rock Island Club members and
their ladies and other friends oc-
cupied specially reserved see
ton on the west side of the
grounds. 1t was decorated in the
club colors, red and white. The club
yell was frequently given, but as the
game progressed college patriotism
began to assert itself, and mem
bers joined in the shouting for the
team of their choice.
There was a great deal of dissatis-
faction over the admission rates. If
the rates had been more reasonable
there undou btedlv would have been
twice as many people on the grounds,
the universities would have realized
more money, and things would have
been more satisfactory all around.
The Davenport-Iowa City High
school game to have been played yes
terday was called off and Davenport
went to Dubuque to play. Dubuque
won, 80 to o.

The Game at Moline.
Two thousand people were kept in
a state of suspense not altogether
hopeful up to near the end of the game
between the Moline and South Division
High schools at Athletic park, Moline,
Yesterday morning. Chicago scored
in the first half forcing up
hill against Moline,s choice of
position, but failed to kick goal. In
the last half, with the ball in Chica-
go's territory, the visitors tried to
punt, but Smith broke through,
blocked the ball and as it rolled to-
ward Chicago's goal, followed it and
carried it over the line. Huntoon
kicked a goal and the score was 6 to 0
in Moliue's favor.
