AUGUSTANA AND
ST.AMBROSET0
PLAY THIS week
Rival Schools Anxious for Victory
Game May Be Played Friday
Afternoon

| Football practice at Augustana
college will be behind closed doors
this week. Augie meets St Am
brose college either Friday or Sat
urday, and Swedberg, the mentor
at the Lutheran Institution, thinks
that the teams workouts should be
held away from peering eyes.
Whether the game will be played
Friday or Saturday is still a Ques-
ton. Saturday is the day the game
is scheduled, but Moline and Rock
Island high schools also clash on
that day There are many tri-city
football fans who are DESTROYS of
Witnessing both games, and If play
ed Saturday. one will naturally de-
tract from the other. Swedberg is
trying to arrange for the Augie-
st. Ambrose game on Friday and
in this way afford fans chance of
seeing both contests. The exact
day will be definitely decided upon
late this afternoon or tomorrow.
The tilt between Augie and its
rivals across the river will be the
first of its kind since football was
made a school sport at Augustana.
Negotiations for a game between
the two schools have been under
consideration for years, but for one
reason or another have never ma

the contest which they have so long
been pulling for.
Augie players came out OF the
contest with Monmouth without
nishap. A few are still stiff and
sore, but this afternoons practice
did away with most of this. The
Saints gridiron players also are in
good condition after their defeat
by Kirksville OsteopathS Saturday.
Swedberg and Brindley will both
send their elevens through some
stiff practices this week in prep
aration for the coming tilt.

Augustana camp included an hours
