Manager Hui received the in10rma-
ton that Clinton has disDanded for

ing. With Clinton cancelling the con
test with the islanders the locals will
not play any more this season.

gether that was defeated by the Mo
/ line and Davenport eleyens by large
/ scores. In years gone by Clinton had
the reputation Of having the fastest
school grid teams in the country and

/ championship. On The other hand
Rock Island is in the same class with
the Clinton team. The local school

this part of the country but this sea

were all wrong when they conceded
the Rock Island high school eleven as
state coutenders when they defeated

The kewanee victory was the only
win for the locals this season.
