WEST ENDS ARE
STATE CHAMPS

the Spring Valley Aggre-

VISITORS FAIL TO SCORE
Big Crowd Witnesses the Contest
Played at Athletic Park in
Moline.

The West Ends of Moline retained
their right to claim the state cham
pionsnip Of independent football
teams when they defeated the Spring
Valley aggregation by the score of .
to yesterday afternoon in Moline.
The visitors were lucky to get away
with no more scores against them, as,
with the exception of about five min
utes in the second half, the Moline
team had them on the defensive all
the time and at least one touchdown
would have resulted had it not been
for the crowd which lined the field
behind the goal lines. A West End
man had an excellent chance to drop
on a blocked punt which had rolled
behind the goal line of the Spring Val
ley team, but a spectator got in his
way and kept him away from the ball
long enough to give one of the de-
tenders of the goal time to get the
ball, and the result was a safety which
gave the West Ends two points.
These, added to the three points made
in the first half when MacManus made
an easy drop kick from the 25-ya-d
line, made the total count to 0.
story of the Game.
The West Ends kicked off to the
Spring Valley team and Immediately
held the visitors for downs and forced
them 10 kick. An attempt at gaining
on straight football failed and the
West Ends punted. An exchange Of
punts took place and before long the
Moliners were in possession of the
ball on the 25-yard line. Two plays
failed to net the required ten yards
and Quarterback MacManus dropped
back and attempted a drop kick, but
it went wide. The ball was kicked
out from the 25-yard line and once
more the West Ends returned to the
charge and brought it back to within
kicking distance. Again MacManTs
tried for goal, but again he missed,
although the oval hit the upright and
would have been good had it been
few inches to the left The third ut
tempt soon followed, however. and
this time the ball sailed squarely be-
tween the posts and the first score
was made. The remainder of the half
was played in the visitors territory.
Score Safety.
The second half was a punting
game mixed in with several brilliant
forward passes which the Moliners
pulled off. Twice the West Ends
were dangerously near scoring, but
each time the powerful Spring Valley
line held and forced them to relinquish
the ball. One of these times occurred
the play which netted the Moline team
its final two points. Carlmark broke
through and blocked a punt which
rolled behind the goal line 1t was
recovered by a Spring Valley man,
but it cost the visitors two points
nevertheless. The remainder Of the
half was given to punting, neither side
feeling able to put up much of an Oh

The Sterling football team which

The score at the end of the first half

seems to indicate that the game next
Saturday, when Rock Island entertains
Moline at exposition grounds, will be
a warm affair.

Sterling Football Player Regains Con-
seriousness and Is Taken Home.
Harry Reiger, left tackle on the
Sterling football team, which played
in Moline Saturday afternoon, met
with a serious accident in the very last
scrimmage which rendered him uncon-
scious for several hours and which
caused physicians to fear for a time
that he had received a conclusion of
the brain He was carried from the
field to the Manufacturers hotel, and
later was removed to the city hospi-
tai. He remained in a state of uncon-
seriousness until yesterday afternoon at
1 o'clock, when he regained his senses.
Coach Hess remained with the injured
lad and took him back home today. 1t
is expected now that he will be well
again in a very short time, as the
fears that he had sustained a concus-
sion of the brain are apparently
groundless.

Rheumatic
Pains

my mother is a great suf-

Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Royce6eld, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which SO frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create habit.
Why not try them? Get pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.
