Rock Island high school will not be

to be held May in Keokuk. This will
be the fifth annual meet of the schools
of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, and
Rock Island will probably miss out on
the meet for the first time since the
organization of the tri-state associa-

conference at Monmouth the same
day that Rock Island will not compete
in the Keokuk meet. OF course more
interest is attached, locally, to the
Monmouth conference because OF the
close proximity of the competing
teams from the other cities. Coach G.
B. Corneal will take the local track
team to Monmouth and he is training
the boys for that event.

advised that he consent to an imme-

says that he will not submit to the
knife, as the trouble is one that both

season and that he will recover as
soon as he has a chance to rest. In
New York an operation was advised,
but the manager would not submit.
DR.. John B. Deaver, noted surgeon,
says Doom is suffering from what is
known as intussusception, or twisted
bowel. If the kink does not relax
there is danger of gangrene and an
operation would be too late.
