TWO GAMESFOR
GENESEOFANS
over WEEKEND
High School Playing East Moline
and Independents Meet keWanee
Sunday.
1snecial correspondence

Geneseo. ILL.,. Oct. 22.-The fol-
lowers of football in this city and
vicinity have another feast IN store
for this weekend. The township
high school has scheduled game
here this afternoon with the East
Moline high school at the American
Legion ball park, and tomorrow aft
ernoon the Geneseo Independents
meet the Kewanee All-Stars in a
game at the same place.
On past performances of this sea-
son the Geneseo high school should
win its game from East Moline,
and possibly by such score that
Coach Pruitt, in the latter part or
the game, may be able to use a
number of his second string play
c-s. 1t is not to be inferred from
this statement that Geneseo is over
confident. and feels that it has an
easy game on its hands today.
Plenty of opposition is anticipated,
but the fact is that the substitute
players are coming so strongly,
that they compare very favorably
with the strength of the regular
lineup and can be used without the
loss of d great deal of playing
stI ength. The Booster club will
be out in force to again cheer the
team on to victory.
The GeneSeo Independent
Kewanee All-Stars game tomorrow
afternoon at 2:30 should prove TO
be as interesting a game as that
which was played here last Sunday
against the SiIvis A. c. kewanee
has several players who were on
the noted Walworth team of last
year, when it played against the
StaIeys. This game certainly Will
be severe test for the indie
pendents and victory would raise
them very highly in the opinions
of their local followers.
It is to be regretted that Rennett
will be unable to appear in the line
UP. The injury TO his knee in last
Sundays game, by which a llga-
ment was torn, may keep him out
of the game for the balance of the
season. Coach Pruitt is encouraged
in Benefits absence by the return
to the game OF Dewey Armstrong.
Dewey was one of the strongest
players on the team last season. He
played his position at tackle with
speed and power which made him
valuable man TO his team both in
offensive and defensive play.
The Independents will line up to-
morrow with the exception of the
Beunett-Armstron change, as It
appeared last Sunday against Su,
Wis. Meyer Norris will again Off
ci;te in the capacity of referee.
