| was first intended TO go tonight but
| the evening train would not get
| them into rockford until late. and
late hours are bad tor athletes,
/ Coach himmel contends.
Thanksgiving gay is always a
big football day at Rockford. The
fans there turn out in great throngs
in support of their nigh school
The Crimson and Gold squad has
a reputation in Rockford and has
always been greeted in manner
Inat shows that the fans expect a
real fight. There is some senti-
ment about the Camp Grant city
that the islanders are not strong
enough to battle the RabS on Tur-
key Gay. the same folks said SIM
liar tnngS last year, but they went
away Sa(lstied with the exhibition.
The Rabs are not in the best of
physical condition but have been
working hard Ralph Baker,
/ Rockford backneld man, VINO closes
three successful years of playing
TINS season, will be one OF the men
that the locals Will have to watcn.
He is an all around player and
p4acucaEy the whole squad is bulIt
n q rfH q n !, Ntt ,,
faced Rock Island last year are
Seal, Derr and Fridly. 1ney will
probably know something OF the
locals style and proves a menace
TO the execution OF plays.
Small Lineup change.
The Islanders have been taking
light practice this week Most OF
it has been devoted to signals.
Last night light scrimmage was
held. Tho finishing touches were
ADDED and every player that start
ed the season is IN shape for the
last contest. All injuries are for
gotten. George Pannell, who was
out of the Sterling game with a
slight attack OF pneumonia. and
Marcellus Rlnck, who had a cold,
viii also be back for the tussIe.
Coach Kimmel announces a slight
change in the lineup. Reed will
probably be started at the right
n2f position instead OF Hunter.
Reed has been playing a spectac-
ular game of late and Hunter is
considered a valuable man to keep
IN reserve in case anything hap
pens in the backfeId. The Grim
son and Gold is fortunate in hay-
ing men on the sidelines equal TO
the regular men. Searle, Cham
bers, Boehme, Anderson and Ma
ger are fully capable of going into
the battle at any time and carrying
through successfully. The rest or
the lineup will remain unchanged
with everyone in their regular
holes.
Lamp will start at right end.
March, right tackle; Alvine, right
guard; DOMAIN, center; Ash. left
guard; Hall, left tackle: Panneu, /
left end; Shelter, quarterback; /
Reed, right halfback; Rinck. full
back; Olson, left half

have been secured by the Rockford +
management. Tony Haines. Yale !
will referee the game and r q /
St John, Notre Dame, will be the
umpire These men are among the I
most prominent officials in the Big
len conference. Charity, Beloit,
mas been secured as head linesman.
Moline Confident.
Moline is confident OF winning
from Davenport tomorrow. The
SWedes are in good condition and /
according TO records the Red and
Blue squad should not prove dan
gerous. II has been reported that
Stetson. Davenport's star fullback
will be out OF the game with a
spralned ankle. This will weaken
them considerably. 1t is possible
also' that Freeman, a dependable
man on Moline's line. will he ont
or the game because OF an injured
leg: Davenport has a fighting team
and will no doubt put UP a hard
Dattle before succumbing to the
FloW attack. Fans are sure nj
seeing a good game in all eyents
and, as many slip is frequent in
tootDalI games. some surprising
things might happen.
