Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-11-28

sition. His work throughout the year
has stamped him as the strongest line
man on any of the teams. He carries
the ball well when called upon, but
his chief value is in his defensive
work. Bremen of Rock Island is the
next choice for tackle. Bremen is a
hard worker, follows the ball pretty
well, and does not miss many tackles.
A bad leg has handicapped Frey of
Rock Island, who, at the start of the
year showed great promise, but who
was forced to remain out of the crit
zeal game of the year-that with Mo,
|line-because of his knee. Hitchcock
|of Davenport promises to shine in the
future, as he played great game
against Moline when it is remembered
| that he had Nelson for his opponent
The choosing of the ends is prob
lem, as nearly all the men in that
position are pretty evenly matched
with none of them showing any great
form. Moline's ends were green, and
as result were fooled quite often
and time after time Rock Island cir
cled them for gains. Dayenport's end
men were no better than Moline's, and
Rock Islands were scarcely an i'm
provement. Smith of Rock Island, who
played part of the time at halfback
and the rest of the time at end, was
| though, the best of the ends, and he
lis given first call. Between Melin OF
Moline and Kuehl of Davenport there
| is very little choice on showing on
offensive, but on the defensive game
the Davenport man showed little
| the better, and he is made Smiths
in running down punts and both are
sure tacklers. Smith is very clever
at handling forward passes, though he
is scarcely superior to kuehl in that
Beals of Rock Island proved very
fast man in most of his games, bu
his ineXperience told against him timt
after time and the result was that h,
was fooled and drawn in while his ent
was encircled.
Lineup as Proposed.
There are always differences o
opinion in regard to the men who are
chosen for positions on the all sta
teams of the three cities and withou
doubt there will be some who will dis
agree with the eleven men named il

merits of the men are duly consid
cred. there can be few changes mad

star team from among the tri-city hig
