Yost that, barring two or three po-
sitions. nobody had a cinch on their
places. caused a furry among the
Wolverine squad, and perhaps I
was a nip of frost in the air, and
perhaps it was a dislike TO see the
alI-fresh played up and themselves
neglected: but. whatever it was, the
varsity showed its first real pep
in a signal practice that lasted a
full hour last night.
The Michigan men have seemed
under the impression that football
was a gentlenGnly game, so far
this fall. and have put little red
blood into their work.
A chap named Crawforth, from
out in Nebraska, showed up for a
backfeld fob on the all-fresh tsam.
He comes with a brilliant prep
school record, ard seemed to inter
est both the varsity and the all
fresh coaches. If the present all
fresh material keeps up its present
pace. keeps up its scholastic work
and returns to college next fall.
Coach Yost ought to be able to put
up the old time point minute

export A c. will lock horns at
Douglas park next Sunday in what
is expected TO prove the deciding
battle to determine the football
champs of the tri-cities. Daven-
port practically eliminated Moline
last Sunday by defeating the
Swedetown aggregation. Rock Is
land has no game scheduled with
Moline, but a decisive victory over
Davenport is all that is needed u
make the locals claims to the hon
Ors stand undisputsd.
The D. A G. team started the
season with a comparatively weak
lineup. The popular prediction
was that Moline would take its
number. Reports on the game in
dictate that while the teams ap-
peared evenly balanced, and the
score of 6 to 0 would indicate as
much, still Davenport Is admitted
to have had a slight edge.
There is reason for this. In the
past week additional stars of IN
questioned ability were signed by
Coach Sizes Among them is Bur
lingame, a huge fellow at fullback.
Back five or six years ago, this
Burlingame performed on the won

ceptionally fast on his feet. The
offensive strength he adds to Dav-
export should not be underesti-
mated.
Favor Islanders.
But, at any rate, Rock Island
will rule the heavy favorite for
the honors. Followers of the game
argue that D. A. c. this year cannot
compare with the team of two
years ago, and still that organiza-
ton was beaten in the last game
with Rock Island by a good sized
count. At this time Rock Island
was strengthened by the addition
of five Minneapolis Marines. Four
OF those same men will be seen in
Sundays game. And there is an
other to make the fiftn, Lyle. Add
ed to this the Islanders have sew
eral other strong players who were
unknown two years ago. On the
face OF things It is safe to say that
Rock Island should win.
However. q tri-City contest has
always produced the best in each
player because Of the intense
rivalry. end local supporters should
not expect to see Davenport showed
under by a heavy count Fans on
the other side OF the river are al
ready demanding odds in the form
Of points, Is appearing to be the
figure most in demand. It is con-
sidered a foolish stunt to wager on
the score. Il is better to give odds
that Rock Island wins, ana the
fans should hold in check and not
get wild.

MAROONS ARE NOT
CHEERED BECAUSE
OF LARGE SCORE

Chicago, Oct. 14-Little cheered
by the fact that they could run IN
a 1913 10 0 score over the bunch N
gobs that came down from Great
Lakes Saturday, the University OF
Chicago football team started work
yesterday for its first real game OF
the season against Purdue next
Saturday.
The fact that dispelled any 10Y
that might come from the record
breaking score was that the sec
ond and third string players found
the sailors just as weak as did the
first team, which started, and that
the subs actually outscored the
regulars. Men who may not be
seen in another game this year ran
up a bigger count than did the
regulars.
