IN GAME WITH
ISLANDER HIGH
Locals Stage Ard.Foaght Rattle
Against Fast I0wans and
Score Is Is O.
By xPIGSKIN PETE,

Aided by the breaks of the game,
Davenport defeated Rock Island
by the score of Is to 0 in one Of
the hardest fought contests ever
played between the two schools.
The Islanders were weakened by
the loss Of Henke, star tackle, who
dislocated his arm in the first quar-
ter, and Olsen, halfback, whose side
is still giving him trouble.
The locals were by no means
outfought and although in the last
quarter they were clearly beaten
they continued to put up a good
fight and held the red and blue
scoreless that period. The huge
crowd, the largest that has assem-
bled this season went mad when
Rock Island held Davenport for
four downs on the islanders two
yard line and Dufiin punted out
from behind the line safely.
The Illinois shift as used by the
Iowans, worked fairly well and the
manner in which five men got in
front of the ball was responsible
for many of the successful end
runs. Davenport, however, didn't
have the shift worked out as we'll
as it ought to have, the men shift
ing into the wrong formations and
having to do it all over time and
again.
Davenport scored toward the end
Of the first quarter when after
steadily pushing the ball down the
field Layden carried it over on a
criss-cross. The puntout was
dropped and the score when time
was called was Davenport, 6; Rock
Island, 0. Layden made the second
counter in the middle of the second
period after the ball had been ad.
vanced down the field on long end
runs. Stetson allowed the punt.

the score II to 0. Towards the end

pass and ran 40 yards for the third
touchdown; Frutiger kicked goal

For the Islanders, Milstead play

brothers also played good games II

export A. C. Boys.

Curley Anderson's clubhouse
team Of Moline startled the natives
of Peoria yesterday when it slipped
over a 10 to 0 victory on the Peoria
Caterpillars, the same aggregation
that defeated the fans association
team earlier in the season, Z to 0,
and which was later beaten by the
Minneapolis Marines, 20 to Z.
Before the game the Peoria fans
were inclined to believe their team
was going to cop by big score.
Afterwards they were forced to ad-
NIT that the tri-citfes have 1t on 'em
in . football way.
De Clerks drop-kicking was the
feature Of the game. The Moliner
placed two beautiful ones over the
cross-bar, one from the 55-yard
line and the other from the 30-yard
line. Alsene scored the touchdown.
In the face. Of this victory, Cur
ley thinks his team has q right to
meet Davenport A. c., for the Sec
ond place honors in the tri-cities.
The comparative scores show that
the clubhouse has it on the fans

since the latter has disbanded the
dispute cannot be settled any other

Urbana, ILL.,, Nov. 17.-Keyed to
the highest pitch Of the season. IL
linois will invade Columbus Satur-
day hopeful of beating Harley and
his fleet Ohio State champions. The
Illini have been accelerated to the
highest point of tension only once
this season-for the Chicago game.
The game may wrest the title from
Ohio in case of an Orange and Blue
victorys The percentages Of this
years conference football season
would show Illinois decisively top
ping the list Of teams, in case Of a
victory.
With Michigan and Ohio on sue
ceeding weekends, it was impos-
sible for Zuppke to put his eleven
under a double strain. The little
coach simply had to take chances
that his men with ordinary precau-
lions could outplay the Wolverines.
To the Illini the decision against the
Buckeyes resolves into q question
of stopping Chick Harley. and
Zuppke,s men seem to think they
can do it.
Even I'm Annual Series.
Since the regime Of Zuppke,
honors between the little coach and
Jack Wilce are even. In 1914 the
Illini champions won decisively, but
in 1915, when Illinois tied Mime
sofa for first honors, with Potsy
Clark, Harold Pogue, and other
regulars on the side lines with in
juries, the Buckeyes gained q tie.
In 1916 Ohio earned the top end
Of 7-6 score and in 1917 Wilce's
men won by Is to 0. Last fall I'LL

The Chicago and Minnesota VIC
tories demonstrated that the Illini
are q fighting bunch, and Zuppke's

seasoned and hardened them. They

Last Game for Four Men.

Last Game for Four Men.
Four veterans will play their
final football against the pride
Of Buckeyedom - Bert Ingwersen,
tackle; Clarence Applegran. guard;
Otis Petty, tackle, and Dutch Stern
aman. halfback. Ingwersen will
continue as field captain II Bill
Kopp remains on the bench, which
Is probable as long as Jack Crangie
keeps his health.
The work of these veterans, not
ably that of the three forwards, has
been Of the greatest value to the
eleven. Ingwersen, by his con-
sistent playing at tackle, has earn
ed the right to be considered one Of
the best tackles in Illinois annals,
and Is belieevd to be of all-western
caliber.
Applegran got a late start as q
regular. but his readiness as we'll
as his playing has been a factor.
Petty is not a spectacular player,
but has borne the brunt of fierce
attacks and held his own.
Rely on the Ends.
Zuppke will spend much time
with his ends next week. It is
probable that Charley Carney and
Dick Reichle will be assigned to
the extremities as the best bets to
curb Harley. Mohr, Smith. and
Doepel will be in reserve for signs
Of wavering by the regular wing
men.
Bob Fletcher will direct the play
from quarterback, and the Illini
bank lot on the craftiness Of the
little pilot. Zuppke Is we'll fortified
with reserves for the line. but he
has few backs on whom to call.
There was a large sale Of Ohio
seats all last week, and II the Illini
conquered the Michigan outfit it
was expected that an effort to run
a special train would be made.

France Feels Unable to Carry
Her Full Share Unoided.

PARIS, March The council of the
great Powers entered to-day upon con-
sidsration Of financial and economic
problems, both a. affecting the treaty OF
peace and permanent the conditions
after the war. This far reaching sub
ject is taken up after weeks given to
hearings on territorial questions
The subject was presented to-day in
two specific reports One was from the
financial commission, OF which Louis
Klots. the French Minister of Finance, 10
chairman. and Albert Strauss and Nor
man Davis are the American members.
The other report was from the economic
commission. of which Albert elemental

The report o. the financial commission
was brief document. giving the main
headings OF the vast financial reorgan-
ization that IL now required. The re-
port does not embrace reparations and
indemnities for tho war, as that subject
Is being considered separately. Most Of
the headings were presented without
recommendation, which are left to the
council and the plenary conference now

subject will be reported to the Supreme
Council. unless there IL further delay

the Allies will give Germany certain
credit on account OF food which Ger

bring back on the ships used for carry
Ing troops homeward from Europe.
To expedite the work OF the Peace
Conference In defining the approximate
future frontiers OF the enemy countries
the Supreme Council has decided TO APP
point a committee comprising one mem
Der each from the United states, Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan. The
committee will outline the frontiers on
the basis of the recommendation OF the
territorial commissions already appointed
or yet to be created and submit the
delimitations for the consideration OF
the conference.
Tho committee also will make recon-
mendations regarding parts OF frontiers
Of enemy States which are not Included

OF the total probably $4,000, o0o, 900

within a year, divided as follows:
First, n certain amount Of gold now In
Germany; second, securities owned by
Germans in different parts Of the
world, for which the German Govern
ment must settle with tho German
owners; third. German credits outside
Of Germany. OF these quick assets 1t
Is estimated that s75o.ooo.ooo are in
the United States.
The remainder of the reparation
payment by Germany will be covered
by annual installments extending over
period Of not more than twenty
years. The treaty win stipulate that
these payments shall be made TO a
commission of the Allies, which will
undertake their distribution among
the Allies in proportion to the dam
ages suffered. This commission will
be appointed at the peace conference.

and German concessions In shantung
and other parts Of China.
Most Of the foregoing subjects are
being considered with view TO per-
manent conditions after the war, al
though the requirements concerning the
war and pre-war debts OF the enemy
may figure In the treaty Of peace.
Features of Economic Report.

council was similarly comprehensive,
covering the vast economic Reimbursement
following the war. II proposes an ex-
tensive inquiry with respect to raw ma
terials, their surplus and shortage In va
rious countries. with q view to stabiliz-
Ing exports and imports according TO the
worlds needs.
The most important subject mentioned
relates 70 equality Of trade opportunities.
This does not affect, tariffs or customs
among the various nations. but seeks TO
end trade discrimination. unjust State
monoplies, dumping methods and IA
vored nation treatment.
Owing to the extent OF the reporth
presented. discussion by the council II
expected to take considerable time.

that the problem as whole has been
presented.
One OF the main headings concerns
war debts and debts made before the
war in enemy countries and whether
they are to be paid or repudiated. the
manner OF payment II paid and the
priority OF payment. Another heading
deals with State property in territory
! taken over such as State mines and
State railways.
The most important heading lie en-
thled disappointment OF the War
Debts Of Allied Countries on q Fair
Basis" While not presented In detail
this heading opens one OF the largest
questions presented to the conference.
According to the French point Of view
the huge debts piled UP by the war have
fallen unduly on France, which ID now
carrying the largest per capita load. II
Is maintained. therefore, that a certain
portion OF these allied war debts should
be pooled so as to be international OBJ
legations instead OF being carried alone
by France This is on the theory that
the war was not fought only as a de-
fensive measure by France, but as an
international conflict In which France
bore the brunt because she was near est
to the battle line.
Thus far the proposal 20 redistribute
favorably by the British, American or
Japanese members The British do not
wish to add to their present burdens by
taking part Of the continental burdens.
while Japan believes that she should
hold aloof from European Indebtedness.
May BE Referred to League.
At first II was suggested that this re-
apportionment of war debts be incorpo-
rated in the treaty OF peace, but because
OF differences Of opinion this suggestion
has been given up and the present sug-
gestion contemplates a reapportionment
OF the debts under the financial section
Of the League of Nations which was re-
ported favorably yesterday.
Neither suggestion, however, has yet
been passed upon by the Supreme Coun-
ell or the p1enary conference and the
| magnitude of the proposals leads TO the
belief that there will be n very full dis.
cussion before any such measure as
sumes definite form.
Another heading OF the financial re.
port concerns the method OF stabil,zIns
international exchange. which has beer,

To signalize the change in char
acter which the conference will UNI
dergo when this stage Is reached, the
present plan Is to have the full con
ference repair to Versailles, and prob
ably the Germans will not be allowed
TO come to Paris at all but will be
lodged at Versailles.

All negotiations with the Germans
will be done in full conference II pres
ent plans are carried out, no oppor-
tunity being given for secret parley-
ing, which is repugnant to the ideas
of all the associated Powers. Ger
man remonstrances are expected, but
they will have to be made In the
plenary sessions Despite the present
talk Of Germany, emanating from
weimar, there is no idea that the
Germans will hold out long.
After signing the peace treaty the
Germans will have a chance. II the

adopted by the conference, to signify
