READY FOR THE FRAY.
Rock Island High School Eleven
10 Contest Moline for Grid
iron Honors.
ToMoRRoW's GAME AT THE PARK
Plenty of Candidates for Several
Positions on the Local
Team.

The football game between the Rock
Island High school team and the Mo-
line High school team will be called at
$3.50 at the Twelfth street park
tomorrow afternoon. Indications point
to one of the best games ever played
between these rivals of many years.
Moline feels confident of victory, ow-
ing to longer practice, and Rock Isl
and hopes for the best and bases its
hopes on the fact that they have re-
ceived good coaching. and that they
have worked hard for the last two
weeks.
It has not been decided as yet who
will play in the various positions for
Rock Island. Such a multiplicity of
good men have appeared for practice
this fall that it has been hard to de-
eide who is entitled to defend the gold
and red goal posts. Will Collins, of
the '99, is the only man of experience
who will be seen in the Rock Island
lineup which appears below. Of the
other men, much is expected of Ben
Channon, who has played good con-
sistent game since he appeared for
practice. Channon will undoubtedly
play at tackle, although he is familiar
with the guard play and would trou-
BILE an opponent in either position.
Hampton at center plays fairly ag-
gressive game. His weight is likely
to tell against him, however. Edison
stone, although but Is years old.
plays safely at guard, tackle or quar-
ter back.
Clyde Porter will undoubtedly act
as field captain and call signals. Por-
ter's work improves steadily with
each days practice. He is cool and
collected and uses fair Judgment in
selecting plays. Fred Clarke. Arthur
Salzmann and Arthur Mosenfel-
der are all trying hard for the
other end position. Each has his
special points of excellence.
and the man who will hold
this position in Saturdays contest
has not been picked. For guard,
Lyle McCulloch, Walter Schroeder.
Holmes Fry, Roy Jens and several
other boys are making the race.
Harry Holdorf seems to be holding
down the full back position very well.
Holdorf is strongest perhaps on de-
Tense, but his plunging is good. and
he is a fair man in interference
Harms, Saizmann and Stone are all
fairly at quarter. Harms is
speedy even for quarter, while the
other men are steady and accurate
and can be depended on should occa-
sion arise. Salzmanu is an excep-
good tackler- James Mirfeld
seems destined to make safe center.
His passing to the quarter is accurate.
Light But Speedy.
For the half back positions, Weiss, T.
Clark. Oberg, Graves, Lambert, Ward |
and others are all working hard. All
of these boys are light but speedy.
and woe be it to the team whose end |
any of them circle. Clark and Weiss
are especially sprightly.
The Rock Island team will be made |
up from the following: Left end,
Porter, Mosenfelder, Lambert; left |
tackle, Collins. Morrison, Cameron;
