ed the Ottawa aggregat:D1 by a
score of "a to 0, Saturday after
noon at Ottawa.
Rock Island was the victim of all
the penalties and Ottawa, claim
ing mistreatment the entire dis
lance, received the benefit OF all
the decisions. The Crimson AMI
Gold decidedly outwelghed the OF
tawa lads, who were helpless in
breaking up forward passes, which
we've responsible for three of the
touchdowns. Lamp played hard
and fast game. making two of the
touchdowns from passes. Shelter
carried the ball over from a pass
and the other two were made from
lie plunges by Shelter and Rinck
Both lads stood out prominently
in their ability to hit the line for
valuable gains Hunter and Olson
did not work up to standard but
at the same time played hard and
consistent game.
Considerable improvement has
been made in the line, which held
the opponents like a stone wall.
Hall and March played a wonder
full game at the tackle positions.
Alvine, Who has proved his worth
as d guard since the beginning of
the season, was removed from the
game because of an injured hip.
Ash, playing the other guard, per-
formed in good shape, it being the
first time he had been in the game
since the initial practices of the
season when he was forced to re-
tire because of a broken shoulder.
Characteristic of their usual form,
DOMAIN at center and Pannell at left
end, played the same steady game.
The lads upon whom fell the de-
deaf fought every inch of the way
and despite their lightness and
youth, six of them only Is years of
age, put up good scrap. Two
of the best linesmen were back in
the game since their contest with
Moline.
Because Of arguments and sub
situations, the game was prolong-
ed and darkness began to fall. Had
the contest continued d few more
minutes it would have been neces-
sary to stop the playing.
