Owing to injuries, it was at first
deemed advisable to keep the Island
err captain out of the game. Rock Is
land kicked off and Princeton then
began a steady march down the field.
The boosters used shift play, which
the locals were apparently unable TO
solve, and gains OF 10, 10 and 20 yards
were the order of the day. At the
Rock Island goal line the visitors we're

In the third quarter Whistler inter

for a touchdown. During the time
Whistler was in the game, he made
fully one-half of the Islander tackles.
Time and again he plunged through
the line and spilled the plays before

SUFFER RELAPSE.
I During the last quarter, Whistler
was laid out, and Immediately 1t was
the same old story Rock Island was
powerless to stop the boosters, WHO
tore down the field for long gains.
With the goal line in danger, Cornesl
yanked Reeves from the quarterback
position and sent in Kipp to save the
day. On the next play the Princeton
left halfback went around Kipp for
touchdown The goal was missed
Then Whistler got back into the
