Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-12-02

Melin, Moline, right end.
Sexton, Rock Island, left end.
Kittilsen, Rock Island, quarter
back
Crosby. Davenport, right half
back.
MacManus, Rock Island, left half
back.
Seis, Davenport, fullback.
HUGHES BEST LINEMAN.
Hughes, undoubtedly, is the star
Of the tri-city linemen. He has out
played every man that he has been
pitted against this year. On de-
tense, he is a terror in the hearts OF
the opposing team. A surer tackler
can hardly be found. He, possibly.
broke up more plays during the year
than any other man. His position at
center is undisputed.
Kempthorne has played a notice
ably good game during the season
and his work against Moline en-
titles him to a guard position. Sod
erstrom played center against
Hughes in the Rock Island-Moline
game, though he played guard in al
most every other game Of the year.
His ability is not overestimated when
he is given Undisputed possession of
the other guard position.
Salzmann, through his off tackle
runs alone, is entitled to a position
on the team His work on the line,
too, has been good. He generally
manages to pick a hole for his team
and clogs one up on defense. Ire
mann has played a steady game
through the year and generally, has
outplayed his man or kept him on
the run all the time.
ENDS HARD TO CHOOSE
When it comes to picking a pair
of ends, the task is no easy one. In
the game with Moline, Sexton out
played the Moline ends and thereby
wins his place on the team. MeIin
Moline's captain. has done some
mighty good playing and his work
in Davenport kept the Pretzels from
running up a large score.
!. The quarterback position goes to
Kittilsen. He knows the game thor
oughly, can run with the ball, is a
sure tackler, is sure on receiving
punts, can punt and his toe has won
games for Rock Island via the ali
route. Injury sustained in the
game with Aledo handicapped him
somewhat, but still his play contin.
ued in good style.
BACKS ALL STARS.
There will be little dispute in the
backfield positions. Seis. there i;
no question, is the best fulIback il
the tri-cities. His work has beer
responsible for Davenport's success
in every game and it is to him thai
the victory over Moline is attributed
He is a good all around player, eros
ky, another Davenport man, is alsC
good all around man. He is +;
youngster and has made good thit
year, outplaying older men through
out the season. MacManus holds
another undisputed position. Hi
work in the broken field outshinei
that of any other halfback in tn,
tri-cities. On defense, he is certain
of bringing down his man on a tackle
and seldom does anyone go by hi
side of the line. On returning punt
he is a sensation.
OTHERS DESERVE MENTION.
There are three men who deserv
particular mention. AS there ar
only II positions on the team, It /
hard to accommodate all of the goo,
men. Kavanaugh of Moline deserve
mention for his work at end, as doe
Voss of Davenport. Both have mad
creditable records dTring the year
Wright of Rock Island, though no
in the best of condition early in tn
year, came into his own in the gam
against st. Ambrose and played bril-
liantly.

Los Angeles, Dec. 2-Wolgast has
shown wonderful recuperative powers
since his operation for appendicitis
here and it is expected that he will
leave the hospital for his cottage in
Vernon in about 10 days. II no infec-
tions result from the operation he
should be able to enter the ring again
in about three months. Neither Fred
die Welsh. whom Woigast was to have
boxed, nor Tom McCarey foreclosed
had put up to insure weights and ap-
pearance. Welsh declared that he
would not think of taking the cham
pion's money under the circumstances.
McCarey made no explanation. but
sent the check back to Wolgast. Both
men could have claimed the money
had they so desired. Willie Ritchie,
McFarland's training partner, who
substituted for Wolgast In the battle
with Welsh, is the hero of the hour,
notwithstanding his losing the deci-
sion. He was unprepared for battle,
had not trained except as a sparring
partner would. and was carrying much
flesh. Welsh outpointed the Sub,

1t is 4 we'll known fact that although
Alexandria city is in a radius of six
miles Of Mount Vernon hundreds OF
people who Ike in our midst have never
made the short pilgrimage and perhaps
do not particularly care 10, bat their
patriotic desire nevertheless is to see
that The intention Of the founders OF
Mount Vernon is Kept sacred. The
citizens OF the entire country arc alike
intorc ted in the opposition to the desc
Grafton Of Mount Vernon by the
placing OF rcformatory within few
miles of the hallowed spot, where re-.
pose tho ashes Of George Washington,
the defender of his country, the founder
Of liberty and friend ot man. No one
thinks Of the grave of Washington
without feeling the thrill Of natural pa
triotsm The feeling is not alone
confined to citizens OF the United States,
for there is hardly q visitor Of promi-
Renee who reaches our shores from a
foreign country who does not visit the
mausoleum of Washington and lay a
wreath on his tomb. 1t is believed to
he a fact that there were many million
lighter hearts when Congress refused to
permit 4 rcformatory, etc, to be placed
within 4 radius of ten miles Of Mount
Vernon. Even though the money had
been appropriated and about loo
acres had been bought 4! the White
House Landing for the purpose, the
patriotic efforts of Congressman Car
lin, ably assisted By Messrs. Hill,
Mann and others, were rewarded and
there vii! be no workhouse at the point
designated. There is already one at
Occouuan, and it is not reasonable to
suppose that Virginia wants TO become
the rendezvous for all t':e criminals Of
the District Ct Columbia If the prop
osition met this fate in the House OF
Representatives imagine what it will
get in the Senate il it reaches that
body. when attacked by Senators Mar
tin and Swanson, assisted by other dis
tngrshed lawmakers. The fact that
4 few people would be benefited finan-
cially and the roads leading through
this section OF Fairfax county be i'm
proved should not for moment deter
the people interested in the hal!owed
spot from making the fight Of their
lives against the placing of e reiorma-
tory, work house, etc., so near the grave
OF the nations halloWed dead. Let
every Virgnian hold up the hands Of
Congressnan Carlin in this fight and
say:
Res. ON, cmbalmedhnd sainted Iead,
Dear as the blood you gave.
No criminal footstep here shall tread
The heritage Of your grave.

THURSDAY EVENING. FEB.

IN THE matter before Congress OF the
Panama Canal Exposition San Fran
cisco beat New Orleans and the latter
CITY gracefully retired from the contest,
showing she was a game loser, oI'
this subject we fully agree with the
Philadelphia Record, which says:
New Orleans ought to be glad that 1t
did not secure its selection by Congress
rs the site OF the Panama Canal Expo
sition. Affairs Of that sort may be
good advertising for i city, but the cos;
of the advertising is high. Nearly
every city that has had 4 big exposition
has lost by it. not merely in the fac'
that the outcome did not meet the
outgo, but in the dizziness OF business
ard the large number OF unemployed
after the show is over. San francisco
NAV plead incxpcriencc rs an excuse
for its determination to have an expo
sition, even without the patronage OF
the government If Congress had given
that TO the other city. New Orleans
had = worlds fair in 1850, and i very
good one, too; but it cost great deal
more than it brought in, and state
funds were used without authority OF
law to meet the deficit, and there was
great scandal. Neither. New Orlcan,
nor San Francisco has nearly enough
nopuiation within lwcnty-four hours
travel OF it to support 50 expensive
thing as q worlds fair.
