When Rock Island and Moline
high schools football teams lineup
against each other at Browning
field, Moline. tomorrow afternoon
it will be the 18th historic battle
between the rival institutions on
the gridiron. Starting in 1899 the
teams engaged in the annual game
each consecutive year up to and in
Guiding 1911. Following the Is
Iander's victory that season, an i'm
promptu celebration took place,
the rabid followers going SO sar as
to invade Moline. A near-riot re-
suited and relations were broken
for two years.
The game tomorrow is not ex-
peoted to be without all the usual
thrills that stir the blood Of two
cities. Hard workouts In prepara-
ton for the contest have put both
teams on edge.
The teams are about as evenly
matched as possible. Moiine's line
slightly outweighs that of Rock Is
land, but the latter's backfeld car
rtes more heft than that Of the
Swedetown aggregation. The out
come of the game is a matter OF
conjecture. In any event a close
contest is anticipated, and the
team getting the breaks will prob
ably be returned the victor.
Fieseler Of Iowa and Truitt of
Davenport have been secured TO Of
fciate. The former will act as ref
cree and the latter as umpire.
Same Lineup.

same lineup on the field that has
played in early games for Rock Is

scrimmage Tuesday night that will
keep him on the sidelines. LOT

EXPORT high school.
Anderson at right guard is ex-
pected to do good work tomorrow.
At the first of the season he was
inclined to charge too slowly but
is now making good at guard. At
center DOMAIN will again be mas
ter of ceremonies. Although he
was injured in the GaIesburg game
he will be able to start tomorrow
with his old time pep. At tackles
the old standbys, Milstead and
Henke are waiting anxiously 'or
the game. Although this is the
first year that Henke has played
tackle he has made a success of 1t
and proved himself a fitting run
ming mate for Milstead. The cap
tain is better this year than he
ever was Every one who has fol-
lowed the high school football
teams for the last few years will
remember two hard hitting foot
ball men by the name of Littig.
The third member of the family is
now making his debut at end,
where he shows the same hard
tackling. never weaken attitude of
his brothers. At the other end
Ohlweiler will start.
Curtis Blankenburg will start

burg will play full He was ineli-
gible for the game last week but is
