the recipient OF a safety. Rock
island was on it's own 10-yard line
and after falling to gain Lamps

nIson recovered the ball for the
Crimson and Gold behind its own
goal.
The Islanders were in poor con-
a;tion and called for rest many
times for injuries. The Plows
stood I'D we'll in the battle and
showed the effects of hard and con-
slant training. Following their
silent signals they snapped into
Mace and tore the Rock Island line
for valuable gains. The weakness
Of the line was evident when the
swedes broke through repeatedly
and blocked drop kick and punts.
The Crimson and Gold aerial at
lack also failed. Only two forward
masses were completed and one OF
,bem after it was received by
Lamp and supposedly tucked away,
was fumbled and went to Moline.
The fullbacks on both teams cas-
,lv stood out as the stars OF the
clash. Schmidt. the Plows' cap
tain. made progress through the
line and played hard game, figur-
ing in most of the plays. His only
l weakness was shown in punts.
