The Rock Island Independents sub
mitted to another drubbing yester-
day, this time at the hands of the
East Ends of Moline, who trimmed
them by a score of Al to 0. The game
was a walkaway for the Moliners, as
the local boys failed to hold them at
any stage of the game. A large
crowd turned out to see the contest,
which was played in Moline, and wit
messed pretty exhibition of team
work on the part of the East Ends,
but outside of this the game was not
very interesting on account of its
one-sidedness.
Moline gained ground in nearly any
way they chose They ran the ends
bucked the line and executed forward
passes. The Independents appeared
miserably weak before the onslaught
of the victors and at no stage of the
game did they appear to have a
chance. The features of the game

in the center of the field and ran

out the entire contest and after re-
peated requests by the Socials, the
Moline team finally consented to the
calling of the game in the last half
when there was about 10 minutes yet

ing strong on offense considering the

powerful on the defense that Peoria
