DISRUPTION FOR
ATHLETICS UNJUST
Tri- City High School Students
Should Not Suffer on Ac-
count of Rowdies.
NOW is TIME TO RESUME
Lessons Are to Be Learned on Field
of Play the Same as In the
Class Room.

That a resumption of athletic rela.
tons between all the high schools of
the tri-cities is desirable, is evidenced
by expressions from Moline and Dav-
export papers, and it is barely posi-
BILE that there will be a tri-city grid
iron title again in the near future. As
stand now, Rock Island does
not meet either Moline or Davenport
on the field of honor in an athletic
way and the situation has aspects
more TO be considered than the finan-
cial loss to each of the schools which
is thereby entailed.
AS pointed out by a Moline paper,
there is no bitterness of feeling be-
tween the students of the various high
schools, on the contrary there is con-
siderable friendliness. Therefore it is
the actions Of certain ''rowdy town
element" which are accountable for
the disruption of athletic relations
and not the fault of the students to
whom the games mean the most.
stHooAAF OLA VIE.
Regardless of who was at fault in
the affairs which caused the sever
ance of athletic relations between
Davenport and Rock Island and Mo-
line and Rock Island. it is true never.
theless that the students are made to
bear the blame. The disruption of
athletics is an affront upon a school,
as a school, while it works no particu-
lar punishment upon individuals. 1t
would seem that in justice to the stu
dents and the schools, athletic rela-
tions should be resumed, otherwise it
is an admission on the part Of the
school authorities that they are will
ing to iniure the students in order to
prevent two sets of rival towns bows
from mixing in a more than half
friendly melee.
NOTHING Is GAINED.
The severance of athletic relations
between schools gains nothing for the
interested parties, on the contrary il
costs them much. One of the greatest
accomplishments of high school ath-
letics is that it broadens out both
those who take part in the games and
those who attend. They mix and learn
to meet with others on equal terms
The battle of life is not unlike a foot
ball game. Loyalty, courage, fair.
mindedness, ability TO take defeat as
well as victory, are all valuable as
+ sets in the battle with the world and
/ these are fostered by athletic encount
/ ers with rival schools. Schools owe il
to their students to teach them these
| accomplishments rather than to cur
/ tail their means of learning them
BY all means let the students of the
three high schools meet with eact
other on the athletic field. When the
element which caused the disruption
gets control Of the schools. then i
will be time to sever relations, bu
until that time comes, why cater tC
the minority to that extent at sucl
injustice to the students and the Iowa
followers and patrons of the schools.

THE FIRST CRAY
HAIR SIGN Of ICE
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair and
Make It Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care of the
hair, to prevent it from losing its color
and lustre, is just as important as to
care for teeth to keep them from dis
coloring. Why spend money for cos
metics and creams to improve the COM
plexion, and yet neglect your hair, when
gray hair is even more conspicuous and
suggestive of age than wrinkles or a
poor complexion? OF the two, it is
easier to preserve the natural color and
beauty of the hair than it is to have
= good complexion.
All that is necessary Is the occasional
use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, a preparation of common gar
den Sage and Sulphur, combined with
other valuable remedies for dry, harsh,
faded hair, dandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair. After few applications
cf this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair will gradually be restored to its
natural color, in short time the dan
Ccutf will be removed, and your hair
viii no longer come out but will start to
crow az Nature intended it should.
Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make or
mar your good looks. You can buy
MS remedy at any drug store for
Gfty cents q bottle, and your drug
gist viii give your money back il you
are not satisfied after using. Pur-
chase a bottle today. You will never
re~ret it when you realize the differ
cnce 1t will make in your appearance.

Rock Island Has No Entry in
the Field.

Miss Elizabeth Allen, the woman
champion of Rock Island Arsenal Golf
club. bids fair to carry off the honors
in the women's handicap tournament
in process of completion this afternoon
over the club course. Yesterday Miss
Allen defeated Miss Helen Vincent,
runner-up in the championship tourna-
mont, up and to play. Miss Aliens
score OF 50 could not be overcome by
Miss Vincent despite her handicap of
eight strokes. Today Miss Allen is
playing Miss Alice Ficke in the finals.
Miss Ficke has q handicap of Is. Miss
Grace Darling defaulted to her yes
terday. Today's play ends the season
as far the women are concerned.
The eight men who were winners
in the handicap matches for men dur
ing the golf season are paired to be-
gin play tomorrow for the mems han

Schmidt are paired.
No CHANCE FOR u. l.
Rock Island, for the first time in
years, has no chance at the club hon
crs. Not a one OF the local golfers
succeeded in getting into the handicap
cup flight and consequently, Moline
and Davenport are practically alone in
the battle. Major D. NJ. King of Rock

Pat Sexton. who shared honors with
Salzmann, Tremann and Hughes on
last years high school football team,
has returned to school and will begin
to practice with the squad at once.
Larkiu. Familiarity known as Pete"
has also registered at the local high
school. Pat held down one end of
the line all last season and Coach Cor
neal said he would match him with
any other high school end in the state.
Fast on his feet and .heady player,
he was one of the shining lights of the
team. Larkin also was good player.
He was placed with the substitutes for
the greater part of last season, but will
in all probability make the team as
regular man this year The return of
both these men to the squad will in
crease the number of Rock Island men
to seven instead of two, as it was at
the first of last week.
TO HAVE SCRIMMAGE.
The football squad. which for the
past week has been having only pre-
