Maintains Innocence.

George Bastunas Of East Moline
was found not guilty of rape of
Elizabeth Francis, aged IA years,
by jury in circuit court yesterday
afternoon.
Acquittal of Bastunas was achiev-
ed through lack of evidence on the
part of the state and an ingenious
defense represented by H. NJ. Nc
Caskrin and j. W. Maucker.
Sam Cassello, a paroled convict,
was brought into court and through
his attorney, John X. Scott, pleaded
guilty to a charge of robbery. He

Haltingly, with a decided linn,
De Leon entered the court room
When he edged into a chair it was
with a caution that indicated he
would prefer to stand during the
hearing of his case. His limping,
unsteady walk and the care with
which he seated himself were the
only outward evidences of the load
of shot with which Sheriff Miller
peppered the Mexican in effectiHg
his capture near Colona Wednesday
afternoon.
Margetis, who resides at POS Sec
ond street, Moline, testified on the
stand that he was assaulted at his
residence as he opened the door at
4:30 in the morning in response to
repeated knocking He faced a gun
in the hands of De Leon, who order
ed him to throw up his hands. In

.COMMODORES BEAT
"OLE V|RG|N|E" BY
VERY CLOSE SCORE
Big Josh Cody Wins An
other Game With Edu-
Gated Toe-Virginians
Fought Hard

Charlottesville, Va, November 10.
Vanderbilt university defeated its
ancient enemy. Virginia, on LAM
beth Field today. 10 to g, in a game
ciean1y fought, but devoid of the
spectacular playing which has
marked the meeting of these
elevens in past years. Entering the
game long odd favorites. the Conn
modores bevildered the big crowd
of Virginia adherents by scoring
within three minutes.
The Tennesseeans kicked off and aft
er forcing Virginia to punt rushed the
ball to the 35yard mark. where Cap
tain Cody's team mates put him in
position to add additional goals from
the field, but his two attempts failed
Virginia began to show a latent pow
err I'm the last part of this period, but
it was not until Vanderbilt had run it's
total to 10 in the second period that
the Orange and Blue developed
smashing attack which was to sweep
the ball across the goal line and acarry
it on two other occasions inside the 10
yard mark. Those last two threats
found the Commodores fighting gamely
and successfully.
Vanderbilt's touchdown came early in
the second period and resulted from the
only tumble by the Orange and Blue.
After his team had been held for downs,
Zerfoss punted 40 yards and Burnett
fumbled Several players were after
the ball. but Hendrix scooped 1T up
and raced 80 yards across an open held.
Cody made it an even 10 points by kick
ing goal
1t was after this that Virginia
opened it's smashing attack. Burnett
started it by running back a punt 20
yards to Vanderbilts 40-yard line. Line
thrusts and short end runs in which
Kuyk, Fl. Rinehart and Russell alter
mated and one of the two successful for
ward passes of the game carried the
ball to the five-y yard mark. where Kuyk
was sent over for a touchdown.
VIRGINIA THREATENS
Virginia twice threa tened in the third
period, but the first time after cover
ing 30-yards 1t was halted on the To-
yard mark and on the second occasion
a Virginia player was off side on
play in which Kuyk broke through to
the eightyard mark. The five-yard
penalty proved more than Virgini
acould overcome
From this time on Vanderbilt showed
a complete reversal of form and kept
the Virginians on the defensive with
line plunges and end runs in which
Floyd, substituting for Wade, wigs
and Latham did clever bits of work
The commodores tried several forward
passes, but all failed, either through
grounding or blocking by their oppo-
nents.
Despite these failures, however, the
Commodores kept the ball well down in
Virginia's territory throughout the
closing period and twice were within
striking distance. Each time Cody
tried unsuccessfully for field goals.
Out of this game there arose a new
star in Goodwin Kuyk of Richmond
who was substituting at fullback for
Dunn, injured in the game between Vir-
gnia and Georgia last week. Kuyk.
with terrific line smashes. gained most
of the ground for Virginia and it was
seldom that he failed to come through
when called upon.

A tumble by Russell on his own two
yard line in the Second quarter was
recovered by Herb Boner for the only
touchdown of the game. Except for
this momentary misplay. the contest
was a toss-up from start to finish.
Auburn made only seven first downs
to A. MS nine. but Auburn gained
a total of 166 yards to the Aggies 1855.
The visitors resorted to the forward
pass frequently. no less than II aerial
attempts, seven of which proved sue
cessful, being recorded for the Aggies
by our statistician.
The day was ideal for football Old
Sol beamed benignly throughout the
combat, but there was just enough nip
in the atmosphere to put the athletes
on edge for battle.
The AgRies received the kick off but
punted on first down. The Aggies
soon recovered the ball on a tumble,
however, and made first down through
the line but fumbled and Auburn re-
gained the @ll, but was forced to punt.
The two teams snapped punts, after
which Auburn made drst down again.
An exchange of punts followed and the
Aggies recovered the ball on an in
tercepted pass. Neither side was able
to gain and punting was resorted to
frequently until near the close of the
first quarter. when the Aggies made
two first downs on fake kicks.
THE TOUCHDOWN
After Howard and Shirling had
carried the ball 30 yards to the
Aggies' I5-yard line in the sec
ond quarter Auburn lost the ball
ON downs. Russell, attempting
end run from a punt formation,
fumbled poor pass from the CEN
ter and Herb Benner, who had
broken through the line. fell on
the ball for n touchdown. Pete
Bonner kicked goal. Auburn as
stunned the defensive after this
score until the half was up.
Neither side was able to make much
progress in the third quarter, punt
ing being resorted to very frequently.
Play was in Auburn's territory most
of the period. but the Tigers held
tightly when their 10-yarI line was
reached The Aggies lost 40 yards on
a fumbled punt in this quarter which
carried the play into their territory as
the period ended.
Shirey proved a consistent ground
gamer for Auburn in the final round,
making two-thirds of the Tiger gains.
After Shirley had carried the ball to
the Aggies' 1S-yard line the visitors
presented a stonewall defense and
took the ball on downs. An exchange
