Rock Island High SchO al Defeat

TOwr.
GAME WAS WELL CONTE STED
Augustana Holds Fast Knox College
Aggregation Down to
is Points.

The Rock Island high school football
team administered defeat to the team
of the Clinton high school in Clinton
Saturday. by a score of u to 0.
The Rock Island boys had slight
advantage of weight. but the Clinton
team did much 10 make up the differ
ence in speed. The offensive work OF
Rock Island was far superior 10 that
of Clinton. though the defensive work
was about on a par with that of their
adversaries.
The game had been in progress for
about five minutes when the first
touchdown was recorded for Rock ISL
and. after a series of hard, snappy
plays. Souders was compelled to re
tire from the game on account of a
slight injury to his knee. which has
been troubling him since the Kewanee
game.
Work Was Pleasing.
Those who witnessed the game were
very much pleased with the work of
the two teams, and even the Clinton
supporters were satisfied, knowing
that the team has done it's best. The
locals gained some experience in the
game that will be put TO advantage in
the following practice. and consider
able improvement is expected along
some lines of the game. Rock Island
is preparing for hard contest with
Moline shortly. and intense rivalry be-
tween the two schools adds much to
the interest taken in the coming con
test

AuguStana Loses to Knox.
Augustana college colors went down
in defeat at Galesburg Saturday be
fore the Knox college football team
by score of 10 to 0. The game was
hUtly contested. but the Knox boys
had their Rock Island opponents best
ed throughout the game. Knox had a
considerable advantage in weight. and
played a much faster and more ag-
gressive game than the Augustana
team. The game was witnessed by a
large crowd, and the Knox boys were
given great support from the "rooters'
section.
