game, but these we're often smeered
by the Knoxmen, and the visitors
abandoned the aerial attack in the
second half. Otis Morrison Of Knox
scored first in the initial fourth by

HIGH SCHOOLS BRISTLE.

THE annual Rock Islah< high

their good Judgment. Pas games
have proved that the dope IS 7or:H:-

Still, Rock Island has the edge on
all-around super-play and II they
can be drilled to resist the usual
helplessness that forerans this an
nual interscholeS1c classic. they
should win handily over their an

From the writer's observation
the high school backs should be
taught to smash the opposing line,
not walk into 1t standing up. There
is considerable drive needed to
make q scoring machine. Pedes-
TRANS have no place in football.
