Tomorrow afternoon the Rock Island
high school football team will have
ended the season of 1905. The sea
son on the whole has been a good one
financially and very successful with
the number of victories TO their credit.
They have scored 153 points to 10 for
their opponents. and il is hoped tomor-
rows game will swell the number in
their favor. The only teams who have
scored on Rock Island this year are
West Dies Moines and Wapello The

Rock Island. SO; Wapello. g.
Rock Island. %; st. Ambrose. o.
Rock Island. 4; Moline. o.
The victory over the alumni was
the second in the history of the school.
The Clinton team was easily handled
by the Rock Island boys who were es-
pecially strong in advancing the ball.
In the Lyons game. the Rock Island
boys played very poor football, but sue
ceeded in defeating their opponents by
an overwhelming score. West Des
Moines was successful in downing
Rock Island in a game which they have
nothing TO boast of as the local boys
played star ball The Des Moines boys
played good game and won by place
kick. The Wapello boys had a strong
team. but lacked experience and proper
training
The last game before meeting Mo
line was played with St. Ambrose col
lege. which had a heavy team and
showed good training. In the Moline
game Rock Island won by place kick
by McManus. The game was fiercely
fought. but II seemed that the Moliners
could not cope with the Rock Island
aggregation. Tomorrow the boys will
play the game with determination and
energy and then will disband for the
season. OF course. the outcome is not
known and little Is known OF the Rock
Island team, which has had secret.
practice.
Financial Affairs.
In all except the Lyons. Wapelio
and West Des Moines games expenses
were made with balance for the
treasury. The affairs of the team were
ably taken care of by Manager Woodin.
Prof Norris. athletic director. and
Prof. Hart, who is always ready to
| help the boys. Throughout the sea-
son the team has lined up nearly the
same, and those who have been faith
full in Offering opposition in practice
deserve mention as without them little
could be accomplished Those who
will receive emblems for having play
ed in three games are Kinner. Rains
| Swanson. Streckfus. Ehrhorn and Lift
for the fourth time; MeManus, who
receives his third; Heimbeck and Col
Inns. who receive their third, and Nj
| cholas.
| The game tomorrow will be called
at 2:30 p. m. when the representatives
of the two schools will line up for
the fray The Rock Island boys are in
excellent condition, having improved
much since the Moline game. while
the Davenporters are prepared for the
battle of their lives. The only fault
that the boys find with Thanksgiving
football is that they are deprived of Il
turkey dinner. but II is hoped that the
students will show their appreciation
by presenting them with sweaters.
| Lineup Uncertain.
The lineup will be known to no one
excepting 4e coach until tomorrow af-
ternoon. but II is probable that it will
be as follows:
Kinner, re: Rains, TT: Shnstrom or
