looked to be roll of canvas attracted
his attention. He discovered the girl,
bound hand and foot and then tied In

canvas.
Pat had heardsthem say that it was
their purpose later on to row her out
to motor boat, anchored some dis
lance down the bay and then proceed
to sea. What her ultimate fate was
to be she had not heard.
Kelly was immeasurably delighted

Rock Island high school football
team met defeat >at the hands OF
the alumni team Saturday after
noon by the score of to 3 at
Douglas park in one of the scrap
piest games that the undergrad
yates and the graduates have ever
played. Both teams were deter
mined to win and they played their
best. The alumni aggregation
bested the high school on the Of
fensfve while the high school lads
played rings around the alumni on
the defensive
The only way the alumni could
gain ground was through forward
passes but the majority of them
were blocked. The high school
held its opponents for downs four
times when the alumni took the
chance of making it's downs in
stead OF kicking. The alumni team
was not able to stop the smashes
that Paul Anderson gave the line.
Allen Milstead, the Islanders giant
tackle, was also called back to
make downs and did so each time.
Dempsey started the game at quar-
ter and Spider" Whistler played
one of the halves. Both of these
men will be remembered as having
played with the high school. They
were wonders at the game and

Kelley started the game at the
other half. These men were slow

when they tried to run with the
ball but when it came to forward
passing they were able TO get the
majority of them.
The first quarter started off with
the high school rushing the alumni
back to their 25-yard line and Paul
Anderson fell back for ten yards
and dropped the oval over the goal
post making the score 8 to 0. The
remainder of the half was a series
of up and downs on the field and
when the quarter ended the alumni
team was in possession of the ball.
The high school held the alumni
men in the middle of the field
throughout the second quarter.
When the quarter was nearly up
both teams exhibited their ability
with the forward passes. The
alumni intercepted one OF the high
schools passes and when the first
half was up the alumni had the
ball. The third quarter started
with the alumni kicking to the
high school The high players
were held for downs and were
forced to punt. Dempsey brought
the ball back to the 55-yard line
and through a series of line bucks
and end runs the alumni pushed
the oval up to the 20-yard line.
