REAL WORK TO
DO after REST
High Eleven Plans Tive Weeks of
Severe Training Before
Ottawa Contest.
BY PIGSKIN PETE.

The Rock Island high school
eleven in playing the next game al
Ottawa Saturday will have the sec
ond chance to compare the chances
with Moline on the following Sat
urday
With Moline beating Galesburg 7
to 0, the crimson and gold should
have an even chance with the
SWedes, considering the way the
locals trimmed the Knox county
lads on their own field several
weeks ago, II to 0. Hopes are pick
ing up in the home camp after hear
ing the results and the lads are
putting every effort forth this week
to take the Ottawa fighters into
camp and then prepare for the big
conflict with Moline.

and Ottawa, Sc to o in Moline's
favor, and what Rock Island and

home boys are confident, but not
overly such.
Not enough precaution can be
taken in the meeting of these teams
as was shown by the result of the
Monmouth game when the Island
ers were humbled 20 to IA. Over
confidence lost this game and the
boys are taking no more chances in
letting the little idol of dope and
architect of air-castles get a firm
grip on them The practice this
week will be filed with plenty of
hard scrimmage which is needed
and can be taken by the regulars
after having no game for two
weeks. The warriors are fully re-
covered from their injuries and
every man is in condition to put
some real fighting into the games.
The rest from a game last week
was good thing and will not at all
lessen the quality of the eleven.
Probably they gained more benefit

with two weeks of hard practice
things should be interesting in fri
city circles. Moline did not show
any particularly flashy PLAYING
with Galesburg and Davenport was
leteated by the Iowa City aggrega-
lion; Moline is now the only one
of the three teams that has gone
so far without defeat.

What OfEtcrs Say

Editor Rock Island Argus, Rock


Editor Rock Island Argus, Rock
Island, Ill.
Dear Sir: / have Just had
the pleasure Of seeing Rock Is
land win from Detroit. / GER
tafniy hope the Rock Island
business men and the clean
sport loving public of nay home
town realize what n sterling
qu&fffy-big advertising foot
ball team You have representing
you.
These fellows deserve the nm
limited loyalty and backing
every citizen in Rock Island
can give them. You've got an
organization therein that is
carrying a pretty fine opinion of
your city around the country.
The score today was big
enough, but the score doesn't
tell the real results. There
was but one team on the field
Rock Isfand-eleTen players
fuRctioning as a unit Their
ability to follow the ball result
ed In their touciad0wns. There
were no breaks. Rock Island
played the game. The ball was
always in Detroit territory. On
two occasions Rock Island had
the ball desperately close to the
goal line but could hardly have
hoped to score on line plunges
as the two teams were evenly
matched in playing strength.
When two teams contain the
stals Rock Island and Detroit
carry on their lines, gains
through the line are almost i'm
possible. Rock Island won be-
cause they followed the ball.
Every man on the team did his
part and did il well.
Detroit is talking about Won
tonight, Rock Island. You've
made the big town applaud
your name.
The success your team de-
serves can only be obtained by
the backing you give it at home.
Remember me to my many
friends.
Yours very sincerely,
WALTER F. YOUNG.

here. even though with a Mexican
accent Some of the players ex-
pected to find a city unaccustomed

the games merely out of curiosity
to see the sport that sets all the
United States on its ears for so
many months each year.
Instead they found a city with
at least 10 first-class diamonds. two
full-fiedged leagues and a number
of independent clubs-all of them
Mexican or Spanish. They met
critical rooterS who were not loath
TO tell the umpire that his eyesight
was lost or to pan" a runner for
making poor slide to third.
Baseball is a popular sport in
Mexico and has been for many
years. Introduced by Americans it
was readily taken up by the Mexi-
cans and for some time a city
league has been maintained here
which each year meets the cham |
