Trims GaIesburg.

The st. Ambrose college team had
walkaway Saturday with the team
that came to Davenport TO represent
Geneseo high school, the visitors be-
ing showed under by a score OF 81
TO 0. The collegians outweighed their
opponents and excelled them in knowl-
edge of the game 1t took but three
minutes for the collegians to score
their first touchdown and after that
they came thick and fast Morrissey
of the college eleven kicked off and
the ball was down on the 20-yard line.
Geneseo failed to advance any and the
ball changed hands. 1t was fumbled
Immediately, however, and Geneseo
recovered it and gained a short dis
lance on several line plunges and a
forward pass. The college then held
and forced a punt. Hines of the col
lege got the ball and made a good re-
turn. An end run gained ground and
then came a forward pass to Fitzpat-
rick. who ran so yards for touch
down. One of the features of the
game was a 90-yard run by Haley, who
received the kickoff in the third quar-
ter and ran the length of the field for
touchdown.
Moline Ties Urbana.
The Pillow City high school boys
sprung a surprise at Urbana Saturday
by holding the DOWNSTAIRS to a tie
game, 0 to O. Urbana has a good team
and has been able to administer some
crushing defeats to other of the down
state high schools. but the Moliners
proved Tartars. The game was pretty
evenly played, the ball changing hands
frequently, neither side being able to
carry it consistently. The home team
outweighed the Moline aggregation,
but failed to make use of this advan-
tage. as end runs, forward passes and
trick plays were used most of the
time. The Moline team went to Ur-
bana Friday. getting there shortly af-
ter O'Clock in the afternoon, and rest
ed I'D from then until the game the
next day so that the long trip had no
i'll effect upon the men.
Davenport Wins Another.
Davenport high school added anoth-
er scalp to its string of five by defeat
ing GaIesburg Saturday afternoon, 80
to .. The game was played at Gales
burg. The Davenporters played rings
around the Illinois boys and used
their surplus weight to advantage
The points secured by the losers were
the result of a blocked kick. Daven-
port was defending it's goal line with
a very few yards leeway. Seis went
back of the line to punt out of danger,
but the Galesburg line broke through
and blocked the kick. Fortunately a
Davenport man recovered the ball. else
the play would have resulted in the
first touchdown of the year against the
Davenport team. Shuler, the clever
back field man, who was so much in
evidence in the three opening games
of the schedule. but who was forced
TO lay off for a time because of bad
knee. was used at quarterback part of
the time and he showed that he is able
to play that position with the best of
them.

brose-G eneseo high school contest, the
college scrubs defeated the Davenport /
high school scrubs by a score of II TO /

bition, both teams playing a hurry up
game and trying hard for scores.
