Now that the story has come out
that Galesburg seeks franchise in
the Three-I league, DIR. c. F. Childs,

one who might be interested in the

he is interested, but not in the role

anxious to get back into the game,
commissioned him to make inquiries
as to the purchase of a ThreeI fran

pledge themselves to back a club in

rather that they would make that in

DR.. Childs told the Galesburg peo-

he does make il clear that he never

Much local interest was conferred in
the Cornell-Pennsylvani football
game at Philadelphia yesterday after

Rock Island boy, Guyer, left guard, on
the Cornell team.
Guyer's teammates closed their sea-

the 81 years the two teams have met
in football contests. The score was
81 to 0.
II was a great victory for the ltha-

teams played a scoreless tie.
With the exception of punting and
forward passing, Cornell showed SUI
periority in every department. Its
ability to advance the ball through the
line and its quickness in fathoming
Pennsylvania intricate plays sur
prised the followers of the Quakers.
The Pennsylvania eleven tried
everything it had in the way of new
and old football, and Cornell always
was there to stop it, with one con-
spicuous exception. This was in the
third period, when Capt. Young of
Pennsylvania ran AZ yards after re-
ceiving the ball from Chester Minds
on a delayed pass. 1t was the longest
sprint of the game.

Who Will Be Captain?
There is much discussion rife at
the Rock Island high school on the
question of electing a captain of the
team for next year. II has been the
precedent of the football players to
elect a player for the leadership who
has won two. but preferably three,
letters on the gridiron. With the grad
uation OF Whistler, Larkin, Andrews
and Glass, all OF the men who have
played on the team for three years
will have left the school. This com,
olicates matters, so that the choice f.,
of the field general is matter which !
will be much discussed during the [
next few days before the election (
will be held. Both OF the Clarks, |

With the opening of the football
season next fall, Coach Corneal will
! have the task of drilling practically
an entire new football eleven to rep
resent the local school on the grid
iron. Eleven players will graduate
next spring and among those are men
who have proved to be the strong
| hold on the eleven this season. Those
who have played their last game for
the high school, the number of years
| they have played, and the position
| played this year follow: Captain
Whistler, four years, left half two
years and full back this season; ex-
Captain Larkin, three years, end,

won four football emblems in as many
years at the local school, Captain
'Speed-emup" Whistler has lived up

has always had the preference, al
though both of his handles fit him well
and has always shown a speed that
recommended him for a backfield po-
sition. In 1910, he was playing sub
stitute end and quarterback. In his
second season on the squad he con-
tinued in this capacity, but last year
he nailed down his first regular posi-
ton, left half back, and in that place
made himself feared by all opponents.
This year, his last, he was elected
captain by a unanimous vote, Willard

badly that he had to drop football
