WHISTLER GETS LONE SCORE
Goes over Line Near End of Second
Quarter-ResuIt of Game a
Surprise.

Outweighed almost 10 pounds to the |
man and facing one of the strongest |
football aggregations in the state, |
Rock Island high played rings around
Galesburg Saturday afternoon, defeat |
ing the college town bows on their
Icwn field, 6 to 0.
The lone touchdown was registered
by Whistler near the. end of the sec
end quarter after long runs 10y Rip
and Glass had placed the crimson
and gold men in position to score.
With the exception of the last guar
ter. Galesburg was on the deferse
throughout the game, whereas koCK
Island was not forced to pun. once.
When Rock Island warriors stepped
1 off the r. l. Southern Saturday morn
/ ing, the Galesblrg Giants sized them
( up for a bunch of kids and freely
"peddled' the dope that Rock Island
was soft and would be defeated at
least rs TO O." Galesburg had a man
in Cater, for whom the title of all
state center was claimed. When the
high school played Knox college, Cater
showed up his heavier opponent, and
was touted as a phenom
Cater resembled a chunk of wooden
money in Saturdays game, and W.
Clark played rings around him. Rock
Island registered a touchdown which
was not allowed, was twice held for
downs on the 5-yard line, once on the
1O-yard line, and made two unsuccess-
full attempts TO drop kick In fact,
Gllesburg was fighting desperately to
avert defeat, and towards the last
merely tried TO hold down the score.
The fight was all out of them.
HAMBLIN STARS.
Whistler, w. Clark and Glass were
the shining lights. although Dahlen, U
Clark and Ackley played their usual
/ good game. GalesburE's star man was
HambIin (colored). The smoky lad
pulled the sensational play of the
{ game, when he got away for a 6O-yart
run, being tackled by three Islanders
on the 5-yard line. The ball was
brought back 40 yards, owing TO the
fact that Hamblin ran out of bounds
