Dixon, averaged so yards with his
punts.
The locals were three times in
scoring distance but lacked the
necessary punch to carry the oval
over. In one instance they were
about a half yard from goal and
failed to carry it over mainly be-
cause the whole Dixon line was Off

poor, the Navajos complained to-

Calkins and Duffn advanced the
ball many yards on offense for the

GIANTS START
HITTING GAME
McGraw's Outfit Gains Impetus of
Steam R0Iler-Mays Had STUFF
Bat Hit
by HAROLD n. JACnRS

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct 10.-The Giants
and Yankees were all square when
they entered the fifth game of the
worlds series today, but the for
mer were coming and the latter
going.
McGraw's outfit had the impetus
of a steam roller descending the
Woolworth building up in
their slaughter of the American
league champions in the last two
starts.
Only yesterday they had soundly
trounced Higgins pitching ace,
Carl Mays, and that without a sin
gle contribution from the bat of
Frank Frisch.
But perhaps the most significant
thing in this defeat of Mays was
the fact he apparently lost none of
his stuff" the Giants just began TO
hit and forgot to stop.
As matters stood before today's
game, McGraw had three depend
able pitchers who had shown their
worth in the present series-Phil
Douglas, Art Nehf and Jess Barnes.
While it is true the first two had
beatings chalked up against them,
they were great even in defeat The
only Giant pitcher who had been
hit hard was Fred Toney, whom
Barnes relieved in Fridays game.
For, the Yankees, Waite Hoyt had
stood out as the one hurler with a
clean record. His two-hits shut
out in the second game was by far
the finest performance in the series
to date. Mays, after his initial
shutout, was pounded numerically
yesterday. Bob Shawkey, Jack
Quinn, Rip Collins and Tom Rog-
ers had all proven easy in Fridays
batting orgy. Higgins had in re-
serve only Harry Harper, his south
paw as yet untried in the series.

Moline high schools football
team defeated Ottawa by the de-
cisive score of Sc to 0 Saturday.
The boys work together like a we'll
drilled army, showing the results
of good coaching and splendid spir-
it among themselves.
Only twice were the locals held
for downs and this cannot be laid
to the lnemen. Holes, big as A
house, awaited the backfeld men
every time they were called upon
to carry the pigskin. -
Only one weakness was notice
able on Moline's line. The ends
were taken out of the plays too
quickly on several occasions. but
this was due to the excellent in
reference by the Ottawa team.
The visitors formations were ex-
cellent; were worked with a lot
of snap, and the Ottawa backfeld
was exceedingly fast.

much improvement as a field gen.
eraL Toline is improving as an

second marker shortly after the
second quarter started, but in this
period the visitors threatened, the
only time during the contest
In the second half the Moline

line smashes by Moline brought
one touchdown after another.

Quarter.

Augustana successfully opened its
home football season Saturday aft
ernoon by defeating Parsons col
lege of Fairfield, Iowa, % to IA. All
kinds of football was dished out
to the fans, some high class and
then some only mediocre August
ana played nothing but straight
football during the entire contest,
diverting to the aerial attack but
three times. Three of Angles
tOuchdowns were made during the
initial half, and then feeling that
he had the game safely tucked
away, Swedberg substituted al
most his entire string of second
men into the fray. The result was
evident, inasmuch as Parsons scor-
ed it's IA points during the second
period Augie's line was weaken
ed materially by the substitutions,
and Gossick, plucky little quarter
for Parsons, Immediately took adj
vantage Of the weakness, and sent
his backfield men through the line
for several large gains.
The Iowans could do nothing
against the first string players as
they did not make first downs a
single time during the entire first
half. Parsons first touchdown was
fluke in the third quarter. Aug
ustana fumbled on its own 40-yard
line, and Stevenson scooped the pig
skin, racing the distance of the
field for the marker. Their other
touchdown was made in the last
period when Parsons began a
steady march down the field to
the 30-yard line. and completed two
pretty forward passes for the ne
cessary distance.
Rog Peterson, Quarterback. AMI
Gully Wilson, right end. were out
standing features. This is Rog's
first year at the generals seat, and
an. Rog made the feature run of
the day for Augustana by circling
around fright end for IS yards and
a touchdown in the first half.
Gully Wilson performed in stel-
lar fashion at the right wing po-
sition. He was down on every punt
to nail the receiving man in his
tracks, and was responsible for
Angles second touchdown.
Norton and Alsene also lived up
to their regulations as real foot
ball players, Keeling off some neat
open field running. Solmonson and
Anderson, left tackle and right
guard respectively. playing for their
first time under the Blue and Gold,
also showed that they have the
markings of real football men.
Saturdays game brought 10
light some dope as to the real
strength of Augustana's football
team, as well as some weaknesses.

In the backfeld Swedberg has real
groundgainers. The interference
at times was not what it should
have been, several times a runner
being left entirely to himself, max
ing long runs impossible. This,
however, was especially evident in
the second half. At close-range
play, Parsons was helpless against
the defensive of the Augie play
ers, but in aerial attack made first
down several times. Much work is
sure to be in line for the August
ana players the coming week cor
recting these faults, both in giving
interference and breaking up for
ward passes.
Augie mas had very few teams
which were better at offensive play
than that which Swedberg has this
year. 1t made yards at will at the
opening of the game, breaking the
opponents defense on end runs,
line plunges, and off tackle plays
In. the line, each player is a mas
ter at his respective position, and
tear large holes in their opponents
line, making gains possible Tor

fensive, which they are sure to get
this coming week, should develop

GREATEST GAME
FITS HISTORY
Independents On Edge As Thou
No sands Prepare to Storm Gates
Of The Field.
By J. L. HUGHES.
fStaf Correspondent


Decatur, III, Oct 10.-Intense
excitement gripped this city today
as thousands OF American Legion
visitors and citizens prepared to
crowd into Staley field this after
noon to witness what is expected to
prove the greatest athletic event in
the history of the city-the gridiron
battle between Rock Islands indie
pendents and the Staleys, two OF
the greatest professional teams that
have ever thrilled a crowd
indications at noon pointed to
crowd of between 5000 and
10000. There was some doubt that
sStaley field is capable of accommo-
dating the immense throng that is
certain to storm the gates. officials
of the big manufacturing plant
were directing their energies this
morning toward rushing to compile
ton temporary bleachers, in addi-
ton to those which were set up
early last week.
The game is the feature of the
entertainment prepared for visit
ing legionnaires, who have been
been pouring in all morning from
every portion of the state. It is
doubtful if the spirit of expectancy
has ever been surpassed, even at a
great college contest. The former
soldiers appear about evenly di-
vided in sentiment, those from the
western part of the state being out
and out Independent rooters, while
the delegates from the south are
backing the StaleyS to win.
The two teams are made up of
individual stars selected from the
strongest university and college
teams in the country. For skill,
strategy, brains and Drawn the
contest is expected to equal, if not
surpass, any similar game ever
staged in the United States. The
result is to be noted nationally.
Locals On Edge.
Every member of the Independ-
ents appeared on edge for one of
the greatest games in his career
when seen by the writer shortly
after breakfast. The fact that the
Staleys seem to have the odds with
them, SO far as wagering is con
cerned, means nothing to the Is
landers. They know their powers
and are confident that the finish
will find them on top.
Manager George Halas of the
Staleys, announced that his team
would take to the field in first
class condition, result of a week
of strenuous preparation. He
was undecided whether he would
start Pete Stinchcomb, a1l-Amer-
lean from Ohio State, at quarter
back or employ Walter Pearce
field general of the 1920 Staleys, al
the important post. Pearce seemed
to have the edge due to his knowl-
edge of signals and plays.
March to Park.
The parade of legion men, which
is to open the convention officially
was scheduled to start at l O'clock
two hours before game time The
line of march is comparatively
short through the business dis
trict. The legionnaire6 will main
tain ranks until the entrance of the
Staley field is reached. A spec
ial portion of the seating has been
reserved for the former soldiers.
