be sold in one year as there were two
years ago. The trade has fallen off
somewhat i'm the past two years;
nevertheless all Of the companies
making wheels enjoyed good trade
the past year, although in the west
owing to the rain. wheels were not
used as commonly as they generally
are.
The wheels of 1904 will be about
the same as they were this year, but
some of the factories have made slight
changes in the line of improvements.
These changes will make no material
difference in the looks of wheels and
| don't know as many of them will
offer any great advantages to the
riders, but of course there must be
some change each year, and every
one of these changes will surely
catch the eye Of somebody, who will
consequently make a purchase.
Some cyclists do not ride the same
wheel more than one season. In the
fall they either give their wheel away
or sell it cheap, and when spring
comes they purchase one of the latest
models. This is good way to do, no
uOuDt, anu II makes business SOOu IOT
us, but every one cannot afford to
do this
THE low handles will be used quite
extensively next year, and many of
the riders have good arguments in
their favor, notwithstanding the fact
that they have been labeled back
breakers, etc. 1t is claimed, and
rightly, l believe, that the low ham
dies are good for the system, even
though they cause the rider to as
sumo a doubied-up position. BY lean
ing over on the handles the jolts and
jars Of riding are allowed to pass
through the body and play off in the
arms; while if the rider sat erect the
iolts and jars would perhaps play on
some tender part of the body. The
best critics agree on this subject, |
think.
The price of bicycles viii range
about the same in 1904 as they did
this year, and they can be purchased
all the way from SIS to $50 or S75.'

MUCH ENTHUSIASM
Many Looking Forward to the
Rock Island Davenport Foot
ball Game.
CHANCES OF LOCALS ARE GOOD
High School Alumni Hire a Band
Moline May be on
Hand.

Enthusiasm is beginning to run
high over the football game to be
played Thanksgiving afternoon be-
tween the Rock Island and Davenport
high school elevens. This contest is
the last and most interesting of the
seasons games because CT the great
rivalry which exists between the
towns and because this game settles
the tri-city championship. Both teams
have put Moline safely out of the way
and are working hard to come out
first in Thursdays struggle.
Mr.. Dove, Rock Islands coach, to-
day said that, viewing the work of the
local boys since the Moline game, he
believes their chances are of the
brightest. When asked what he
thought of their chances in view of
the comparative scores with Moline.
he replied that comparative scores
We're always deceptive and that Mo-
line undoubtedly played a much bet
ter game against Rock Island than
against Davenport, so that, although
it would seem that Davenport was
superior, he would attach no impor-
lance to that fact.
Several of the football boys saw the
game between West Liberty and Dav-
export Saturday and report that Dav-
export played good ball in every par
ticular. Still they do not feel that
| they have reason to be alarmed. In
two 15-minute halves Davenport ran
up score of Is to against West
Liberty, and that is about what Rock
Island did. In 30 and 25-minute halves
the score against the Iowa town was
As to o. But the West Liberty mana
ger and captain are reported to have
predicted that Rock Island will win
in the Thanksgiving game.
The Lineup Unchanged.
The lineup will be about the same
as for the Moline game, or as fol-
lows: Coleman, center; Morrison,
right guard; Cozad, left guard /;
Graves, right tackle; Ehrhorn, left
tackle; McManus, right end; Grit
| fiths, left end; Adamson, quarter
back; Souders, right half; Lift, left
half; Sullivan, full back.
! The boys are going into the game
with full determination to win. The
girls megaphOne club will be on hand
to do their share in supporting the
team, and a large number of the boys
will go as rooters. 1t is reported that
the alumni will turn out i'm full force
and have hired brass band to make
things lively. Moline is interested,
and it is proposed to have the game
in that city in the morning instead of
in the afternoon, so that no one will
be prevented from seeing the real
contest Of the day in Davenport. Rock
Island players hope this arrangement
will be made, for it will not only
| swell the crowd, but will give the
local players some additional support
on the side lines.
