Of Rock Island. The game should
prove a rare treat to football fans

greatest teams in the history +
the sport in that little Indiana COM
munity.
Good, snappy football weather Is
anticipated and this should bring
out the lovers OF the sport by the
thousands. 1t is the first time Pine
Village has ever come this far west
to play contest. Enthusiastic
ones are confident the crowd will
I rival, and even surpass that which
assembled to see the costly aggre-
cation Of stars that represented
Hammond earlier in the season.
This means that the ones not lucky
enough to secure a chair reserva-

in line for a game with Canton,
claimants of the worlds title on the

Hammond here on Oct. IL. II the
report is true, it boosts the visitors
stock considerably.
King. Harvard's all-American
product, Is counted upon by the
villagers to create Eavoc with the
independents. The fact that he
Joined them early this week can be
taken to mean he will have drilled
the team to stop the Minnesota
shift employed by the locals.
But it should not be taken to
mean Pine Village will depend sole
ly upon the ability OF one orstwo
star players. The opposite is more
