TITULAR FIGHTS
ON TOMORROW
Independents and olympics to
Settle Tri- City Gridiron
Championship.
GAME IS IN ROCK ISLAND
At Moline the West Ends and the
IIlInI VIII Battle For the PIow
City Honors.

Two football titles in the tri-cities
hinge on games which are to be play
ed tomorrow in Rock Island and Mo
line. The tri-city honors are at stake
at Island City park where the Moline
Olympics with a strengthened lineup
are to play the Rock Island Indepen-
dents and in Moline the West Ends
and the Illini will meet at Browning
field to decide the city title.
The rumor that the Olympics were
packing" their team in hopes Of de-
feating the locals, seems TO have some
ground for the announced lineup for
the contest includes the stars OF the
Davenport West Ends who incidently
gave the Independents the hardest tus-
sic OF the year. Whether or not the
Moline team when it appears on the
field of battle will have the services
of the stars of former days in addi-
ton to the younger blood, remains to
be seen.
Coach Dick Lift has put the indie
pendents through a stiff drill this
week so as to have his squad pre-
pared for any emergency. All the
players are in good condition and
with the polishing up which the Of
Tense has received, the best exhibition
of football OF the season is to be ex-
pected. The probable lineup is:
Coleman, c.; Smith and Brewin. g.; r.
Salzmann and Swanson, l.; Murphy
ond Behnamann. e.; MacManus, OBJ;
Davenport and Robb, hb.; and A.
Salzmann, fb.
WEST ENDS HOPEFUL.
The Moline West Ends are enter
tanning hopes Of winning the cham
pionship Of Moline by defeating the
1llini tomorrow. The West End ag-
gregation has improved greatly in the
last two weeks and now averages 10
pounds to the man which gives it a
slight advantage over the Illini. Fred
Woodyatt will referee the contest,
Carlson will umpire, Lockhart is
head linesman and Nystrom time
keeper. The West End lineup is: Ed
c.; A. Gilman and Venere, g.; Zeb, Lo-
gan, Gilman or Johnson. t.; Hall
gren, Berger McKeever or Williams
e.; Anderson, OBJ; Kipp and Curtis
hb.; and Wolters or Pearson, fb.

At Augustana

Seeking to keep the freshies from
learning Of their banquet plans. the
sophomores of Augustana college re-
sorted to clever ruse last night and
almost got away with it, 1t had been
previously arranged that DR.. E. F.
Bartholomew, guardian of the sophie
more class, should give a Thanksgiv-
ing address before the Adelphic So
ciety last night The sophs relied on
this fact to throw the freshies off their
guard, inasmuch as no banquets are
held by the classes without the pres
ence of the guardian.
The freshies, however, refused to be
misled, and early in the evening be-
came suspicious that something was
in the air. When sophomores began
to gather at $50 O'Clock and proceed
in the direction of Moline, their sus-
picions were confirmed. Unwilling to
risk an open engagement with the
sophs, who have several times demon
strated their superior strength over
the freshmen. the latter followed the
upper classmen to the Moline Y. NJ. c.

hope of ca ching some late straggler.
Their hopes were realized. when Will
liam Schroeder, a soph, appeared at
late hour. He was Immediately seized
and held a prisoner by the freshies for
almost an hour, when he was released
and permitted to enter the banque-
room. When DR.. Bartholomew was
brought from the college in taxicab,
following his address, the sophomore
fold was complete and the banquet be-
gan. The following toasts were given:

way back to Rock Island.
Professor Olaf Grafstrom, art in
structor at Augustana college, has been
unusually busy during the last months
in painting altar pieces for churches
in the Augustana synod. Since the be-
ginning of the fall term he has exc
cuted three paintings and is working
on a fourth at the present time. The
three finished paintings were sent to
their respective destinations this
week. They include a beautiful work
on Christ in Gethsemane," for the
| Lutheran church at North Easton,
Mass, of which Rev. Axel c. H. He
lander is pastor. Another, on Christ S
| Ascension" was executed for Rev. H.
| S. Chilgren's church at Argusville, n.
! D. The third went to (. T. linden S
church at Harcourt, Iowa The subject
was THE Good Shepherd" Professor
Grafstrom is now working on The
Sinking Peter" This painting will go
to Rev. Theodore Seashore's church at
FL Cameo, Texas The large range of
Professor Grafstrom's artistic work in
biblical subjects has made him popu-
lar as q painter of altar pieces, and
he is constantly receiving orders for
paintings from all parts of the coun-
try His paintings are executed at his
studio at the college and are always on
exhibition.
