CLOSE MARGIN OF 6 TO 5
Moliners Had 1t on the Heavy Squad

served to Win the Game.

The Moline West Ends cinched
their title of state champions by de-
feating the First Regiment team Of
Chicago in hard fought game yes
terday afternoon on Athletic field in
Moline. The game was won by the
narrow margin of 6 to 8, but the West
Ends had the better of the argument
throughout the contest and were de-
servedly the winners. The touchdown
which the soldiers made against them
was the result of a fluke, while the
Moline boys earned their scores on
good hard football. Henry, Chicago
right half back, failed to kick an easy
goal after making the touchdown for
Chicago and this lost his team the
game as, after the West End touch
down, MacManus lifted the ball over
the bar for the extra point which de-
cided the contest.
Chicago Team Strong.
The Chicago team was one of the
strongest that ever lined up on the
Moline field. All of the noted players
OF whom they Dragged did not appear
In the lineup, but their manager mod
estly stated before the contest that
the men who filed their places were
as good, if not better. They averaged
in the ne.ghhorhood of IFS pounds to
the man and they presented a most
formidable appearance against the
West Ends, who average q few pounds
under the 1G0 mark. 1t was the gen
eral verdict of the spectators after
seeing the two teams practice that

story of the Game.
Moline received the kick at the east
goal and after making a few short
gains punted. The soldiers found they
could gain nothing on the West Ends
and they punted in turn. The bal
then went back and forth for ten min
utcs until on a tackle through tackle
play by the West Ends CarlmarG
dropped the ball and Henry picked it
up on the run and went 80 yards for
touchdown He failed in the attempt
at kicking goal
The West Ends came back strong
and before the half was ended they
had carried the ball twice to within
short distance Of their opponents goal
line. but on each occasion they lost It
before going over. The half ended
with the score to 0 in favor of the
visitors.
In the second half the West Ends
were not to be denied and on sheer
speed and fast play they carried the
ball down to the 10-yard line. A five /
yard penalty helped them here when I
Chicago man got offside, and that gave |
them three trials at making the re-
five yards. 1t took all three |
attempts, but on the third down the |
ball was over the goal line by a mar |
row margin and the game was tie. /
The West Ends took the lead by one |

they had the wind in their favor and
