Others Say

Mr.. Sporting Editor, Dear
Sir: Am n Staley rOoter but
can't help giving your team a
world of credit for their show
ing here Sunday, at the Cubs
park. Have followed pro foot
bah long time but never saw
a line charge lie that Rock
Island line did. You sure have
a wonderful team down there
and one deserving of all the
backing in the country. Had
heard about your team but new
er had the chance of seeing it
play. It sure ranks right up
with Canton, Akron and the
others On a dry field | think
Rock Island would trim the
Staleys, much as it would
hurt seeing them lose. Hope
your team comes here again
before the season closes. Wish
ing yOu and the team success.
Yours truly.

F0RLAST CAME
ON HOME FIELD
High School Dickering for a Con.
test At Douglas Park Next
Saturday.
BY rsGSEIy PETE,

The next game of the Rock Is
land high school is still uncertain
although last night it was said a
game may be arranged with Steri-
ing for Saturday at Rock Island.
Sterling has a strong aggregation
this year.
The Thanksgiving date is still
open but it is likely that the Grim
son and Gold warriors will travel
to Rockford for the Turkey day
contest.
The team resumed practice this
afternoon The players are in fairly
good shape after the even break
with Davenport Armistice day. Al
vine, who has been in poor condi-
ton for several weeks, is expected
to be ali right for the remainder
of the season and the other men
have practically recovered from all
the little aches and pains Al
though the muddy field hardly
made any action noticeable Friday,
Coach Kimmel1s men have improE-
ed since the battle with Moline. The
Islanders were unable to work for
ward passing with the slippery ball
and were prevented from making
a score because of this fact. With
this weeks training they should all
be back in the tussle again and be
ready to put up a hot game with
Sterling, if it is arranged This
would be the last game at home
this season
Davenport and Moline.
Davenport and Moline will fight
for the td-city championship
Thanksgiving DAY on the Davenport
field Davenport is loading its guns
for the Swedes in hopes of a vic
tory According to scores and the
record of each team this year, the
Plows have the edge on the Red
and Blue men, but previous scores,
as has been proven before, are
worthless in estimating the out
come of a football battle. Moline
has not lost a battle this year and
is going strong. They have been
fortunate in receiving the breaks
of the game through the entire sea-
son but it will take a team of merit
to stop them
Local fans are inclined to believe
that Davenport will spring a sur
prise on the MOliners. Each eIev-
en- has an even chance before the
contest and providing things go
fayorably for the men across the
river they will show Moline a hot
battle. The unexpected often hap
pens and Moline, thinking their op-
ponents Will fall easy victims, NAV

/ ways goes with a surprise attack a
| great many coaches, however, are
dead against the set series of plays
According to a majority of the
coaches with whom 1 have talked
| their chief objection to the Sc
quence plays are:
First, they invariably disorgan-
ize the team using them
| Sesond, they invite too many
penalties for off-side plays because
Of the hurried lineup.
| Third, they often serve to wax
en- up the opposing team, which is
not to be desired
Fourth, they often invite a heavy
| gamble on 4 fourth down with a
couple of yards to so, when a punt
is the logical play
| ROckne'S Plan.
Notre Dame in the Army and
| Rutgers games overwhelmed those
two eastern elevens because of the
speed with which the plays were
run off. Coach Rockne is said to
be one of the few coaches still us
ing a modified form of the sequence
plays.
In using his shift formation, from
which the ball was either thrown,
kicked or run with, Notre Dame ap-
peared to put the plays into exc
cution without any signals being
called. This of course hurried the
plays, the main essential, because
it aided in the offense outstarting
the defense. However, Rockne
eliminated the element of danger,
by using only three plays in a
series. This gave the field general
a chance to size up the situation
on the fourth down and select the
proper play for the best interests
of his team.

The words he spoke TO Councilman
were harmless and the referee
should have considered things from
this point of view.
As far as Manager Flanagan be

probable loss Of a touchdown, it is
absurd, to say the least II Han
son had reported to the referee and
precluded the chance of the pen
atty, there would have been no
eruption. When a substitute runs
onto the field, no power from the
sideliDe can control his subsequent
actions. 1t was logical to send a
fresh man in at that stage of the
game, for the entire efforts of the
Independents were centered in
their OGense. ConzeIman himself
declared the situation warranted
the substitution Witness the fact
that instead Of sending Hanson
back TO the sideline. he replaced
Dewey Lyle with him. This was
done because Barker was still com

Not Distance Enough.

The query of the veteran star in

sequence plays were no longer pop
ular. Since then 1 have talked the
matter over with number of the
leading coaches. They all seem to
agree that the sequence plays were
all right in the old days, when the
distance to be gained was only five
yards in three downs
With the greater distance to be
gained, quarterbacks can no longer
run their teams with the reckless
abandon Of the old days. They must
select their plays from a greater
variety, and always take into con-
sideration the defense of their op-
ponents, in making such selection.

REFUND AND APARTMENTS ON
 FEDERAI, INCOME TAI

Important changes in income tax pro- cedure, directed by Commissioner David H. Blair. are embodied in a treasury de- cision effective Dec. Is, which provides for the prompt adjustment of claims for refund and abatement of federal taxes. Heretofore when an over assessment or r-payment was disclosed by the audit of an income tax return, the taxpayer was invited to file a claim for the abate- ment Of the oVer-assessment or the re- fund of the over payment. When received the claim was registered and filed away until reached in due course Of considera- tion. Because Of the large number of such claims fled, delay in adjustment necessarily resulted.
 After Dec. Is taxpayers will not be ad- vised of their privilege of filing claim for the refund of taxes which nave been paid in excess of amounts legally due, but instead will reeve a certificate of over assessment and a check in correction of the error, or if an assessment is outstsnd- ing against the taxpayer for income or excess profits tax, the oyer-payment will be applied as 6 credit against the assess

Five Cent Fares Fall or.

The five-cent fare trial in Bridgeport ordered by the public utilities commis- sion, resulted between December i and 10 in an income loss of $4.432.27, as com pared with the period November 13 to 19. This is shown in a report to the commission by President L. s. StOrrs Of the Connecticut company. The in- come for the first named period was $348z9.31 and in the November period under the straight ten-cent fare s3s,- 2G15S. The report of ths(company fur tber sta&es:
 During the week We carried a to- tai of 433,948 five-cent passengers and 1S2,779 ten-cent passengers.
 During the holiday shopping period the receipts of the last three weeks in December are normally materially higher than at any time during Novem- Der.
 We will. therefore. expect to see less of a falling off during this portion Of the test period than has been true under the initial period of the test and than will be doubtless found to be true after the first of January
