AUCIE PLAYERS
SUFFER DEFEAT
Illinois Wesleyan Basket Players
Prove Too Strong for College
Lads in Fast Battle.

Illinois Wesleyan defeated the
Augustana basket men in the open
ing game of the season at the Au-
gustana gymnasium last night. The
Gnal count was 26-13 The game
was fast throughout and contained
some lively spurts but Wesleyan's
aggressive tactics gradually wore
down the hard fighting Lutheran
college quintet. During the first pc
riod the two teams were running
neck and neck and both put up
good exhibition OF the short-pass
game. Anderson made three sensa-
tional shots from the center of the
floor and it was hard to pick win
ner. The half ended Gil. In the
second period the Augustana men
seemed unable to locate the loop
with the exception OF Rydholm. who
Gagged two while the visitors repeat
edly worked the ball down for easy
shots.
Mace started the scoring with a
long shot from the center of the
floor and followed with a success
full free throw. The Augie men

baskets by "Kootch" Anderson and
things began TO warm up. Mace
dropped in two more and Bengston
retaliated with a successful short
shot and free throw. Sutherland
and Leitch Gagged one each, Ander-
son responded with another and the
half ended, gil.

none as far as effectiveness is con-
cerned. Think of it! over $50
convicted men from penal inst'tu-
tiOnS in this state were released on
parole and sent to this vicinity il
order that an alleged acute labor
shortage might be alleviated.
I'm choosing those to pc sent it
seems that shocking lack of care
was taken to see that the best, not
the worst, would be given a chance
to make good their parole here.
Instead of that, on glancing over
the list, we find that some Of the
most degenerate and vicious types,
men convicted of offenSes most
serious in the category of crime,
have teen loosed upon the citizens
Of Rock Island county. 1t is a
wonder to me that more o. us
have not been murdered, sluSged
and held up. and that more of our
daughters and wives have not been
attacked and raped.
Shows Lax Supervision.
And these men are not even eff
fectiveIy supervised. That is TO
more than could be expected, how
ever, for it is practically impCs-
sible to efficiently keep tab on such
large body of prisoners or pa
role. Evidence revealed that some
of these convicts nave gone as
long as 10 days without a report
on their actions being demanded.
They are q dangerous. des-
perate lot, hardened in crime and
reckoning little on the value of hu-
man life. Even in confinement
some of them can't behave. for
only recently an attempt TO escape
from our Jail was made in which
boilerplate iron about one-half
inch in thickness was sawed
through with tools Struggled in
to them by outside acc0mplices.
I'm your appointment of a sher-
iff to succeed Jake Nigers, IL
seems highly important that you
select a man who is familiar with
the serious conditions facing ell
liens and officials of Rock Island
county"

This condition has been brought
