Despite Visitors Weight,


feating the North Henderson eleven
at the Island City park yesterday az
ternoon. Sc to 0, proved that Il the
Moline Red Men are looking for pick
ings" next Sunday. they had better
steer clear Of the locals camp.
Lifts men bumped against an ag-
gragntion OF hnskies in the Henderson
team and made such a clean show
ing against men Of their equal weight
that the stock Of the locals assembled
TO par II not point or two above
that Of the Red Men in the estimation
Of the local fans who witnessed the
game The bugs we're all Of the opiu-
ion that If the Red Men are looking
forward to something soft next Sunday
they are doomed 10 disappointment.
The local followers also believe now
that If the Red Men figure that they
outpiayed the Independents in their
first meeting this season, and that as
a result the alleged shade they have
an edge on Lifts men. they will suffer
the embarrassment of watching their
dope go wrong.
The Independents yesterday were
an eleven of clock work harmony The
limo stood strong against the heavy
North Henderson team and time al
ter time broke breaches In the visi-
y tors line preliminary to smashing
i gains made by the local backs The
a attack of the Independents was Won
derful made so by the team work de
veloped during tho past two weeks and
the collective playing that was 10 q
great degree absent when the indie

was not at all lacking yesterday The
bugs got an eye fun Of what real in
reference amounts to in ground gain
ing.
Have Big Variety Plays.
The Independents showed q big va
riety of plays that is sure 10 be battling
TO any team it meets the balance Of
the season. Their open style play
showed marked Improvement shifts
and forward passes being responsible
for half of the scoring Of the locals
In receiving forwards, Kolls starred,
getting away with two and making
touehdowns Cook Brandt aud Art
Salzmann also scored on forward pass
es. Davenport and Cook also went
for al Fx-Ir ut
Not only was the attack of the phe-
nomenal variety, but the defense was
of the 1915 brand. Not once did the
North Henderson team make its
downs being forced to punt each time
after a trio of trials at ground gain
ing through the line or with the for
ward pass.
II Is true that the visitors lacked
much science and team work, but the
fact that they were of equal weight
and hoasted of three 200-pounders
must be taken into consideration,
showing that the victory was not at
sll an empty one.
Here Is what the Independents did ;
Scored a touchdown within two min
utes after the first whistle.
Were held TO downs only once.
Held the visitors TO downs every
time
Three times tailed on end runs
Made touchdown on fake forward.

locals at quarter Vic" was present
at all times and the couple OF instances
that the signals went wrong. he car
ried the ball himself and got away
with big gains in each instance.
After the kickoff by North Hen
derson, five plays put the oval over
the line for the locals. Bredimus
made so yards on forward Brandt

port. who scored after 40-yard dash,
-Davy" proved an elusive dodger and
had world of speed. Salzmanu kick
ed goal. Score. $50.
The second quarter opened with
Kolls scoring on a forward pass after
81 q 2a-yard run. The big fellow picked
the oval out OF the air In nice shape
snd got away frcm all dumping at
tempts Of the visitors. Score. $50
The hair closed with the bali on
North Headersou's Vineyard line and
touchdown likely would have been
made bat for the Intervention OF the
whistle,
Scores In the second half were
made as follows. Art SalzmanR. on 6
forward pass, after 20-yarG run
Brandt. through the line; Kolls, on a
forward pass and 2o-yard ruu; Dav-
] export, through the line; Roy Salz-
mann. on a tumble of the visitors on
their 20-yard line
Altogether the showing Of the locals
was great and boners in their play
were as scarce as dough in Moline
when betting time comes Unless The
Il locals undergo a complete reversal in
form during the coming week. which
n IN not likely since the hospital list Is
down to minimum and Robh is to be
back in harness again, the Independ-
