Eheu the Rock Island high men
1noot Monmouth tomorrow after-
- q : o'clock q Douglas park
~ viii have the. hardest hight
I1o9A they have had % far this sea-1
-. Monmouth has the same team
I toeh that held Rock Island 10 one
1aehd0wn up until the final guar.
~ last season, and are confident
q winning.
II aAy dope can b. gotten from
scores, the Monmouth squad Ii q
little stronger than the Islanders.
On paper. the Monmouthites should
rive the local high . drubbing, but
Whether they will or mot remains
70 ~ seen. Last Saturday Mon
mouth defeated Quincy, Z to .. on
~ Quincy neld. The week before
onincy had defeated Keokuk, to
o. Last Saturday Rock Island
drubbed Keokuk TO 0. So on pa
pef Monmouth looks q little
islanders on Color,
DE They will blow into Rock Island
ID the best Of condition, which can
i not be said for the locals. Due to
vacation and the number OF men
Who are working, practice has not
been what 1t should have been this
week. Old Man Weather also al
lied himself with Monmouth and
thu field was too wet to do much
last night.
Monmouth stock jumped sky
Nigh when It was learned that Lee
Brummel. star fullback OF last
year, would be able to play the
game against Rock Island. Brdm-
mel has been III and unable to play
so far this season. Even without
him. the Monmouth squad has won
it, games. With Brummel back in
the lineup, the Monmouthites should
give the locals the fight Of their
4 young lives. Last year he was the
most consistent scorer on the Mon
mouth squad. Monmouth hackers
say that he has improved this year
and will be one Of the reasons why
Monmouth will win from Rock Is.
N land.
4ea 70 Win or Bust.
Although the dope looks bad
against them. the locals are goinf
into the game intending the pu
forth every effort to win. II the,
can run up . large score they will
b. able to put up q good figh
against any squad. The team ha,
especially been weak in offens'
this year. The Islanders could hol,
it, opponents scoreless, but woul,
be unable 10 score themselves
This was true in every game tina
the high school has played, and
has been one Of the greatest din
culties that the coach has had I
combat. Besides the lack OF 4 de
: pondable scoring machine, the 9th
!. or trouble that is holding the tear
back is the lack Of fight until til
goal 10 threatened.
Last Saturday the locals wer
Il unable to stop Douglas, the speed
keokuk half. in midfield, but q
soon as the all got within the 10
yard line. lie was unable to Eai
an inch. II the squad would hav
fought in the middle of the grid
iron as 1t did under its own Cos
post. the score might have bee
different.
Usual Lineup Stands.
The usua! lineup will start tn
game as far ~ is known now. A
the men are in good shape an
have gotten rid Of minor injurie
rom the keokuk battle.
Duncan will again start at qual
ter. He is the fastest man on tn
Islander squad, bar none, and looh
like one OF the most consistel
ground gainers.l Blankenburg an
Harper will play the halves an
Captain Henke will start betwee
them. These boys played we'll Ia,
Saturday and should go better I,
morrow. As it looks now, Il
Eame will be played on a mudd
field. so that straight football wi
be used. At straight line bucks. ii
Islanders believe that, with the
heavy line. they can defeat the
opponents hanJily.
PANEL and Litt!g will play Ii
ends. Hall and Anderson tackle
McCollister and Campbell, guard
and DOMAIN. center. Although la!
week was Anderson's first game i,
tackle he played the position lib
! veteran and probably will renal
there the rest Of this season. tn
! Tine has been the Islanders maj
stronghold so far this fall and wi
be needed tomorrow.
Other Tri.City Games.

I, also play important contests t,
