The Maroon football team of this
city was held to a tie score yesterday
afternoon at Muscatine. The final
score was to 5. The Maroon team
put up their usual good, scrappy game
and deserved a victory. Their touch
down was made by Juhl who ran 50
yards on a fake kick formation. Viii

sKELLY'S COSTLY TUMBLE
This Directly Responsible for the
Crossing of the Goal Line
Score Is B and o.

The tri-city championship is again
unsettled as a result of Moline's vic
tory over Davenport, 5 to 0. in their
annual turkey day game yesterday
afternoon at Davenport, Moline made
its touchdown in the middle of the
first half when Shelly, Davenport quar-
terback, fumbled punt on the 15-yard
line and a Moline man covered the
ball. The Pillow city boys then put the
ball over the line on straight smashes.
Goal was missed
The game started with Moline kick
ing off to Davenport. Kelly returned
10 yards and Davenport, after making
first down on smashes, tried the first
forward pass of the game, making a
gain of 10 yards. Their next attempt
at pass failed, a Moline player inter
cepting the ball. From this time until
the close of the first half Davenport
was on the defensive. but it is doubt
full that their goal line would have
been crossed had it not been for Skel-
ly's disastrous tumble.
Both Use Forward Pass.
Both teams used the forward pass
successfully throughout the game, al
though penalties were frequent. ana
both relied much upon the punting
game. The second half was almost a
punting duel between Wyland AMI
Sizes, Wyland having slightly the Bet
ter of the contest. The Moline ends,
however. were much faster than Dav-
exports, and several times they

Wyland's playing was the feature Of
the game. while Sizes and Kelly starred for
Davenport. Pettigrew of Illinois acted
as referee and Reese of Notre Dame
as umpire. The lineups:
