Lineup Crippled.
With several men still on the
sick list from the Augie scrim-
mage, the islanders will start the
game with crippled lineup. As
this is the first team that both
Rock Island and Davenport have
played, the results of tomorrow's
contest is looked forward to by
many as an indication Of how the
big game will come out With Do
man, Anderson and Duncan, all
regulars, out with injuries, it is
sure thing that Coach Kimmel will
not push his charges to run up
big score.
All three were out Of practice
last night. Duncan hurt his injur-
ed shoulder in the first play Of the
Augustana game and was taken
out before 1t was over. DOMAIN was
clipped in the early part Of the
scrimmage and failed to show up
at school yesterday. His leg was
bothering him yesterday after the
game, and whether he will start at
his old posintion at center is still
in doubt. "Snus" Anderson, who
has been playing a whirlwind game
at guard and tackle, was out with
sore knee. He may be unable to
start the game, which leaves three
men of the first water on the side
lines.
All Ready for Moline.
All of these men will be in line
for the Moline game, although the
coach is doubtful Of starting them
tomorrow. The idea Of playing a
practice game with the Augie var
sity squad now and then through
out the rest of the season was
thought a good one by Coaches
Kimmel and Swedberg of the COL
lege. Although the high men were
treated rougher than usual, it was
good drilling. and there probably
will be. more of it before the sea
son ends.

accounted for some misplays.

coach his drafted an entirely new

difiiculty all season. there being .
lack of such material on the Mo-

Islanders Look Best
After comparing the scores Of
the games the two high schools
have played with Augustana, the
dope looks good for the Islanders.
The local high held Augie to four
counters, while over twice as many
were made on Moline in Is min
utes' less time. Although the team
Is not over-confident. knowing that
Moline will fight harder against
Rock Island than any other school,
the men believe that they are in a
position to avenge last years de-
feat.
Just who will start for the To-
calls is still q mystery. Harper will
very likely not accompany the
team, as he has been out Of school
all week. With the backfield al
ready weakened by the probable
loss Of Duncan, there will have to
be q shift Of players somewhere on
the team. On the line there are
enough first squad men to fill the
holes so that the forward wall will

team strengthened by several men
of first team caliber who are ineli-
