HIGH ELEvENIS
STRONGER With
TWO NEWL LADS
Whitfield From La SaIIe-Peru To.v.
and Ash VIII Help Bolster
Up Squad.
BY PIGSKIN PETE.

Hopes OF the Rock Island high
school football squad are rigi11
with the advent of two new PLAYERS
both rated as valuable men.
The newest of these is lance
Whitfield, who came to Rock Island
recently to live. For two years he
has held down a quarterback posi-
ton on the La Salle-Peru eleven ana
will probably develop into a wei
come addition to the Crimson and
Gold lineup. He weighs about 14O
pounds and his indications of heinz
a speedy and heady player.
Leland Ash, who held down
guard position last year and who
was knocked out OF the game with
a broken shoulder at the beginning
of the practice season, has an
nounced that he will be back for
the rest of the year and probably
will do his first work Saturday aft
ernoon against Ottawa. He has
plenty of beef with which to bolster
up the line. Mayer is weak as a.
guard because of injuries and with
Anderson and Clark, two lads that
were commencing to show some
real stuff, out of the game because
of injuries, utility men are badly
needed. It is not likely that Ander-
son will be back in the game for
several weeks and Clark, with a
broken shoulder, will be out of the
tussle longer.
According to dope the Islanders
should give Moline a terrific battle
a week from Saturday. The Ottawa
game Saturday should be an easy
game as Ottawa is not rated strong.
Moline beat it Sc to 0 and Rock Is
land should do as well. If this can
be called an easy game and Moline
should have a stiff one with the La
Salle-Peru eleven, it would make
the Crimson and Gold a slight shade
better in estimating the outcome
The mastering of plays so that
some real action can be given, and
scrimmage will make up the large
part of this weeks performance.
Most all of the men are now able to
take a hard workout with their
bruises almost gone. Several Of
them are still weak and will have
to take things easy. The lads have
had tough luck this year in Tecov-
ering from the scraps.

Football fans of the tri-citieS, and
Rock Island in particular, anxious
TO see the Independents in action at
Douglas park, are V0icing COM
plant ut the failure of the team TO
be at home. This feeling is natural,
and is heightened by the recent sue
rather have the team Mt home again
more than Manager Walter Flani-
gan. but he can do nothing now
to alter the schedule because he is
bound by iron-clad contracts to ap-
pear elsewhere. Could he have
fOreseen this interest before tie
season started, chances are 100 to
] he would have insisted on major
ity of the games at home. Now,
however, he must live UP to agree
mentS.
The contest Sunday at Green Bay,
Wis, will mark the fourth consecu-
tive week of the teams out-of-toWn
appearance, something unheard of
| in Rock Islands football annals.
Fans should take heart in the
knowledge that a break occurs on
the following Sunday, when the
team will be back amidst familiar
| scenes to battle the Minneapolis
Marines. At that time the team
| play of the locals should be devel-
Oped to a fine point, and those who
have been waiting patiently for a
| sight of the warriors in action
should be agreeably surprised at
their strength.
While the Independents are antic-
ipating a victory over the Green
Bay Packers, they are not going
into the game expecting anything
easy. Ever since Green Bay de-
feated the Rockford team BY a top
heavy count, Captain Jimmie Con-
zelman has thought of 1t in high
terms, for he contends that large
scores against any professional
team are difficult for the reason
most aggregatiOns lay greater
stress on defense than OffenSe. The
victory OF the Packers over the
Marines last Sunday. cen though
by one point margin, is enough in
itself to convince the Islanders they
are not going to have a lark of it.
Manitowoc, the training camp of
the Independents this week, is
about 80 miles from Green Bay. 1t
is just far enough to insure secrecy
and close enough to enable the team
to be on hand for the game without
the unpleasantness of a night ride
in a sleeper. The team will be
thoroughly drilled in the maneuv-
ers of the Minnesota shift and great
Improvement over the teamplay
shown against Detroit is anticipat-
ed The squad did not cast aside
the Notre Dame style of play I'M
til early last week, following the
releases of Coughlin, Hayes and
Malone, and naturally it was diff
ficult for the players to swing into
the new style properly. Neverthe-
less it proved more effective agains:
Detroit than could have been ex-
pected by use of the Notre Dame
attack.
Dave Hayes and Grover Malone,
former Independents, are said Ia
have signed with Green Bay and
are expected to participate against
the Islanders Sunday. The team
faced the problem of having a men,
Der of the opposition in possession
of signals at Detroit, so it is not
worrying any over the coming game,
The Independents were handicap

lInereIOTes lew paSS6S were dtbCWpt-
ed.
| The Minneapolis Marines are ex-
/ pected to leave nothing undone
looking toward a possible victory
over Rock Island in two weeks.
Before Eddie Novak departed for
| Detroit, he received a letter from
| his brother in Minneapolis, in
which it was said the Marines were
| telling everybody they intended to
| beat Rock Island. Perhaps nothing
would be sweeter to Chicken, Gun
derson, Ursella and Marshall than
! to humble the team for which they
| played two seasons, just as Buck"
| Gavin felt Gckled at figuring in the
downfall of the Detroit Tigers. They
are certain to play harder here than
against any other opponent, SO it
is unwise to Judge in haste.
| The Detroit Tigers are scheduled
to play the Buffalo AIl-AmerieanS
next Sunday at Buffalo. Buffalo is
not expected to have any trouble
winning, particularly in view of the
fact that Walter SSFilIie'' VOSS. the
backbone of the Tigers defense, has
been put on the shelf for repairs.
In advertising the contest. Detroit
papers stated Buffalo fans would
have chance to see Sucking
Buck Gavin, who bucked the line
SO well for Buffalo against Canton
in 1920, do some of his celebrated
bucking against the AIl-Americans."
! Sunday night at the Hotel StatIer
/ m N1St hn I'm hn
was going to inform the Buffalo
/ scribes that he is now bucking 'em
for Rock Island.
Gavin has a bunch Rock Island
can land Buffalo for game this
season because Of the victory a.
Detroit, and he is going to lend his
influence toward this end. There is
some talk of an Armistice day bat
tie between the cities with posi-
bility of its being played in Rock
Island. This undoubtedly would
be one of the biggest events in the
pro field during the season, for
Buffalo stands in a class by it
self in the east Among its stars
is Elmer Oliphant, who first game
fame at Purdue and then rounded
out a long career on college grid
irons with West Point. He is re-
cogniZed as one of the greatest
ever produced by the game, all
American honors having been as
! common for him as for Chick" Har-
ley.
DetrOiters might have been lust
treating the team nice. and then
again they might have been sincere,
but at any rate any number of them
declared the Independents were the
best seen in the automobile CITY
this season. They said AkrOn's 90
to 0 victory over the Tigers was all
luck and nothing else. All three
tOuchdOwnS are said to have been
the result of flukeS. while the Til
gers caused no end of damage TO
the Akron line.
Robson and Pollard, two dusky
stars. are said to be the whole Ak
ron team. Pollard is familiar to
Rock Island fans because of his
playing with Akron here in 1919.
when the Independents won, IT to 0.
Robson is huge end who is class
ed as one of the most fearless play
ers in the game today. He is said
to hurtle his mammoth BODY
through the air at interference or
brush four and five men aside with
consummate ease in going after the
man with the ball.

Little Rock, Ark.-A rapidly mount
ing death list that may exceed fifty,
dozens of persons injured, and proper
ty damage as yet unestimated, are re-
suits Of a tornado that cut wide
swRth across parts of Miller and Hemp
stead counties, Arkansas, and Cass
county, Texas.
Reports today from the storm area
augmented rather than diminished the
extent Of the damage and because of
paralyzed wire communications officials
were of the opinion that several days
might elapse before the full extent of
destruction is definitely known.
Apparently the heaviest loss of life
and property was caused in the two
Arkansas counties. In the rural sec
tions Of upper Miller county, near Tex
arkana, eleven persons are known to
have been killed and large number
injured. Near Hope, in Hampstead
county, press dispatches stated that
from Is to 20 persons were killed and
scores injured.
In Texas the damage was in the
vicinity of O'Farrell, thickly settled
farming community west of Atlanta,
dispatches reported an unknown num-
Der of persons killed and injured
there. At both Texarkana and Hope
measures were taken by municipal off,
GERS and citizens to afford relief to the
storm sufferers. Nurses and doctors
have been sent into many localities.
In some places ambulanc edrivers were
unable to penetrate the storm-swept
districts because of impossible roads.

British Labor Gets Hardest Blow in
Failure of Great Strike Set

London.-Labor forces of the United
Kingdom are today apparently broken
into sections as q result of the refusal
of the National Federation of Trans
port Workers and National Union ST
Railwaymen yesterday to continue
their support of the strike called by
the miners federation of Great Brit
ain on April LIST. Opinion prevails in
some quarters that the action of the
railroad workers and the transport
men means the death warrant of the
triple alliance.
Yesterday was the heaviest defeat
that has befallen labor within the
memory of man." begins the Laborite
Herald's comment on the sensational
break-away of the railroad men and

ing to minimize it. The workers have
not stood together and they have reap
ed the reward"
The newspaper declares that Frank
Hodges, secretary of the miners or
CARNATIONS, made a tactical mistake
by altering the old formula of the
union during his address before mem
bers of the house of commons Thurs
day night. The union has held it would
not negotiate until assured of the
establishment of national wage board
even if such a body would not begin
operations Immediately, but Secretary
Hodges changed the formula by declar
ing the union would negotiate imme
diately, postponing the question of
national board.

MOTHER'SLO
DEFIES PAIN
Edna Beyersdorf Regen-
thai Submits to Unusual
Operation.
WIDELY KNOWN HERE
Former Assistant Secretary of
KenOsha Elks in Operation
which Startles Surgeons.

Greater love hath no man than that
he give his life for his friend" and
greater love hath no woman than as a
mother she give of her flesh and bone
to save the life of her child.
Mrs. Edna Beyersdorf Regenthal,
former Kenosha woman, on Friday af-
ternoon submitted to an operation at
the Newark Memorial hospital in New
York, which is regarded as one of the
most remarkable ever attempted by the
science of surgery. Surgeons removed
from the right and left legs of Mrs.
Regenthal more than eight inches of
the larger bone and this is to be
splintered and transplanted into the
legs of the child of Mrs. Regenthal,
which was born in March with the
fibul@ of both legs missing. The op-
Grafton is being watched with interest
by students of surgical science
throughout the world.
The little child was destined to be a
helpless cripple and noted scientists
were called. "If we could transplant
the bone of an entirely healthy person
into the tussies of the legs Of the
child, believe that its life could be
saved and that it could be developed
as a normal child" said the noted sur
geon who had taken a heart interest
in the case of the child.
Mother Is Prompt Volunteer.
Without waiting a minute, Mrs. Re-
genital prepared to go to the hospital
to make the supreme sacrifice, if nee
cessary, to save the life of the little
deformed child. She was told that the
operation might result in her being
deformed, but she insisted on the child
being given the chance to live and live
right. kilograms from the hospital
today declare that the condition of
Mrs. Regenthal was normal and that
it was expected that she would recover
from the operation. The work Of
splintering the bone and transplanting
it into the legs of the child will take
some time, but 1t is believed that the
transplanting will prove successful.
Dashing Edna Beyersdorf.
at was just the sacrifice which could
have been expected from dashing Edna
Beyersdorf," declared one of the
friends of Mrs. Regenthal in Kenosha
today. "She had heart that was big
enough to do anything and she had
counted so much on that baby"
Before her marriage to Lieutenant
Ernst Regenthal, which occurred in
the early spring of 1919, she had been
assistant secretary Of the Kenosha
lodge of Elks, and she was in charge
of the desk at the new clubhouse when
it was opened. She was very active in
the work of the Elks in Kenosha and
was widely known socially. To some
of her close personal friends in Keno
sha she had sent letter on Tuesday,
announcing her determination to go 20
the hospital and give of her bone to
save the life of her child.
The parents of Mrs. Regenthal reside
in Milwaukee and it is said that they
had not been advised of her determin-
alton to give of her own self to save
the life Of her child.

TOHN QUINCY ADAMS was
born in the rural home of

mother, a woman of education and
exalted worth, watched over his
childhood during the almost con-
slant absence of his father. Dur
ing his first years Mrs. Adams her
self taught her son the elements
of English. At an early age
young Adams gave indication Of
the unusual talents and wisdom
which later made him the most
learned Of our Presidents. Few
Presidents were blessed with such
noble parents. No other President
was so fortunate in his youth to
have become associated with SO
many distinguished men of his
own country and of foreign ma
lions. When but eight years of
age, John Quincy Adams stood with
his mother upon an eminence, lis

battle on Bunker's Hill, and gaz-
ing upon the smoke and fame bill
lowing up from the conhagration
of Charlestown. Often, during the
siege Of Boston, he watched the
shells thrown day and night by the
combatants.
When he was eleven years old
he sailed with his father for Paris,
where his father was to join Frank

the new nation at the French
Court. The boy spent year and
