The management has obtained
the services of additional police
from Davenport and Moline to as
sist Rock Island policemen in pre-
serving order on the grounds. The
outworks will be guarded so closely
that immediate arrests will follow
any attempt of miscreants to gain
illegal entrance to the park.
In case it proves necessary to
open the field gates to allow vast
overflow to see the game, the police
will be commissioned to keep the

ISLANDERS BESET WITH INJURIES

in case of injury. For that matter,
the versatile Weber could sub for
Gunderson at center and still play
strong game.
There is small chance that Blu
land will start the game unless his
injured leg improves greatly within
the next "a hours. Buland has been
on the s:delines since he was
clipped in the last Staley game. and
is chafing under the strain OF his
enforced layoff.
If Buland is unable to play b!
game-time, Fred Denfield, former
Annapolis All-American second
choice guard, will get the opportu-
nity to win greater fame and a
warmer spot In the hearts OF tri-
CITY fans. Denfield is in splendid
physical condition-strong and
speedy. His line charging by which
he rips open holes. should make it
another tough day for Bert Ingwer-
son, former Illini. who suffered no.
ticeably three weeks ago at the
hands OF Walt Buland.
Harry Gunderson will start at
center. His play against Trafton
OF the Staleys will. perhaps. prove
one of the most interesting side
lights of the game. "Gundy" Just
