did not figure in the point getting, but

CROWD BEHAVES WELL.
The manner in which the teams and
the crowd behaved was pleasing and
the fans are hopeful that the Moline
board of education may think better
of their action last fall and again es-
tablish the old athletic relations with
the local school. A few resented the
talk of the Moliners after the game,
but it was only natural that they
should be happy after winning such
hard-fought game, especially one from
Rock Island. Though the officials
we're not as strict as some that have
worked here before, they showed no
favoritism and did their best to call the
fouls and keep the play within bounds.
