Two former Notre Dame stars
are included in the announcement
of players given out today by Man
ager Walt Flanagan of the indie
pendents. Dave Hayes. end for the
last three years, sends word that
he will arrive in Rock Island the
latter part of the week Edward
Duggan, a team-mate of the great
Eichenlaub, has also been signed
to a contract. He was a backfield
man alongside Eichenlaub, who
several years ago was a nation
wide sensation at fullback.
Hayes played alongside of Frank
Coughlin, who will captain the In
dependents this fall. His home is
in Hartford, Conn, so that he is
coming a long way from home to
play, but he seems perfectly salts
fed to be able TO lineup alongside
OF Coughlin again. Hayes was the
receiver of many of the famous for
ward passes of the wonderful
George Gipp.
Duggan has been playing pro-
fessional football since leaving col

cause of his knowledge of Eichen-
laub's methods, Duggan will be
tried at fullback.
Corrals Knox Star.
It is often unwise for the pro-
fessional football manager to over
look the stars of the smaller col
Iege because of the lack of news
paper reputation. Therefore, Flan-
igan has secured Lane Bridgeford,
for four years brilliant performer
at Knox college, for a backfield try
out. Bridgeford lives at Joy, III.
Bridgeford was, perhaps, the great
est individual scorer Knox ever
had In one season he registered
upwards of 200 points for his team
He finished his career last year as
captain. Chances are, Bridgeford
would have starred on most any
university teams in the country.
Transfer StaIey Game.
The game between the Staleys
and Independents which was orig
inally scheduled for Oct, 9 at Rock
Island, has been transferred to Oct.
10 at Decatur, at the request of the
American legion of Illinois. The
legion holds it's annual convention
at Decatur the week beginning Oct.
10, and it was urged that the big
football game be staged for their
entertainment. After considerable
dickering, Manager Flanagan agreed
to the arrangements, but at the
same time the StaleySs transferred
their second engagement with the
Independents to Rock Island. This
game was planned as a Chicago at
traction on Nov. 20, but instead
Will be the piece de resistance for
tri-city fandom.
1t is expected the contest at De-
catur will draw from 10000 to L.
600 admissions. At least 10000
legionnaires will be in Decatur that
day, and there is no other enter
tainment planned for them. Gen
eral John J. Pershing is counted
upon as a guest at the game.
The switch in schedule leaves
Rock Island fans without a game
on Oct. 3, but it is anticipated that
several hundred will journey to
Decatur. -
Manager George HaIas of the
Staleys today announced the sign
ing of j. r. ''Tarzan" Taylor, for
three years mainstay of the Ohio
State line. Taylor is the third
member of the famous Buckeye ma
chine to affiliate with the Staleys,
the others being Pete Stinchcomb,
star of 1920, and
Chick Harley, All-American half
back of 1918 and 1919.
