Moltne's hopes under q score Of
81 to 0 at Douglas park yesterday
afternoon before less than zoos
wet-weather bugs. Moline never
had chance to score. Attempts
to plunge through the stone wal
resistance of the locals. skit the
ends or forward pass failed for the
Moliners at all stages Of the con-
test, and the amount of territory
they covered would hardly exceed
20 yards.
Rock Island performed in the
most brilliant style seen this sea
son at Douglas park. Despite tbs
fact that the field was a sea o,
mud. the Islanders put up a won.
derful exhibition Of open field
work. Had the day been favorable
1t is probable that the score would
have mounted to the sky.
Tom Henry celebrated his return
to the lineup after couple OF
Sundays on the sidelines by scor.
ing three touchd0wns, one being

yards. Incidentally in the last two
minutes of play he reeled off his
third long run of the game. which
was another as yards, bringing the
ball inside the 10-yard line from
where Ursella carried 1t across.
Henry's offensive work was cas-.
lily the most spectacular of the sea
son. His method Of putting on full
steam through the mud was te

heels in a mad gallop and this

luck during the matinee. In the
last minute of the second quarter
Oak Smith received kickoff ard

where he handed 1t to Ursella or
the 2O-yard line. Moline's tacklers
were drawn over to intercept Smith
and RUDE slipped around the other
side under full steam with Henry

Bobby Marshall enjoyed himself
immensely throughout the pastime

he eluded tacklers in a 35-yart
