Confident OF
TEAMS POWER
Swedberg Takes Is Men ON Trip to
BIOOmington-Meet Wesleyan
Tomorrow.

Eighteen football huskies accom-
panied by Coach Art Swedberg
boarded the 4:3O rather for Peoria
this afternoon enroute to Bloom
ington, where Augustana will meet
Illinois Wesleyan college eleven
tomorrow afternoon The team will
snend tonight in Peoria and then
go on to Bloomington tomorrow
morning
Fridays tilt will be the first con-
ference game of the season for
Augie, and also promises to be one
of the hardest on the years sched-
ule. Both squads are represented
with exceptionally fast backfelds
and we'll balanced lines. The re-
suit of Fridays fracas will go
long way in doping out the cham
pionship of the l. l. A c. Barring
upsets, it is probable that the win
ner will fight it out for the honors
with Mi1likin university, last years
champions.
Swedberg, the Augustana mentor,
is confident that his men will take
Illinois Wesleyan into camp. Ev-
cry member of his team is in the
pink of condition and all on the
squad are eligible to play. Art
sent his proteges through long
workout yesterday afternoon. The
first half hour was spent in receiv-
| ing forward passes. The last week
has shown a marked improvement
| in this department, and Augie will
no doubt use this method of foot
ball to its advantage against Yves
| leyan. With the game against Par
sons college last Saturday, the Lu-
therans were noticeably weak in
the sky attack, but much practice
during this weeks workout has
practically done away with this
fault. The backfield has also great
ly improved in giving interference,
another factor which was not as
good as it might have been against
Parsons. With these remedied, and
a stone wall line, Augustana should
come home Saturday with the ba-
con.
Swedberg will take his men to
Galesburg Saturday to witness the
Knox-Millikin game.

An idea of the strength of the
Detroit Tigers, whom Rock Island
played to scoreless tie here IN
the opening game of the season,
is CLEANED from their victory over
Dayton Triangles at Detroit Sun
day, 10 to T. Anyone who may
have doubted the pre-game state
ments about Detroit's strength must
needs change his opinion now it
will be remembered Dayton smoth-
cred the Independents 81 to 0 last
year. Detroit's victory would indi-
cate Rock Island is much strong
er this year in answer to Ques-
ton that has often been heard in
the last few weeks.
Walter STillie" Voss, giant end OF
the Tigers, who stepped the offen-
siVe of the Independents so clever
ly, was the greatest obstacle in the
path of the Triangles. Besides
playing q wonderful defensive game.
he contributed the Tigers only
touchdown and winning score when
he recovered a blocked punt and
ran IS yards to the goal. The drop
kick was the work of De Gree. who
played tackle against Rock Island
DaytsR's celebrated forward pass
attack did not appear until the fiRal
quarter, and then it was too late for
the Trangies to make more than
one touchdown, although the Tigers
were fast firing when the final
whistle blew.

huff DIRECTS
SUCCESSOR
ILLINI TEAMS
Has Been One Responsible for
Bringing University Into
LimeligIt.

Urbana, Ill, Oct. 13.-The ath-
letic successes and the sterling
reputation of Illinois in athletic
circles is due for the most part to
the efforts Of George A Hun. di-
rector of athletics.
Director HUFF began his athletic
career at the University of Illinois
in 1889. He was a member of the
first football team that ever repre-
scented the university, and also a
member of the baseball team, being
captain and manager the last two
years. During the season OF 1894
1895 he attended the Dartmouth
medical college, where he was a
member of both the football and
baseball teams.
In 1895 Mr.. Huff returned to the
University of Illinois as director of
athletics and coach of football and
baseball In 1901 he received the
additional appointment as director
of physical education for men and
has served in that capacity ever
since.
When Coach HUFF took charge Of
the Illinois baseball squad in 1895
there was a small student body
from which to draw candidates as
| compared with the much larger en-
rollments at Michigan and some Of
the older rivals. Despite this dis
advantage, the Tlini were soon dis
putting championship honors, es-
pecially with Michigan, and by 1900
a western championship was won.
The record of Director Huffs
baseball teams year in and year
out is unparalleled. Illinois won
the western conference champion
ship in 1900, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1903
1910, 1911, 1914, 1915 and 1915, and
tied for first place in 1909 In other
years his teams were invariably
the runners-up in the race. In1902
Coach Huff's team invaded the east,
and defeated Yale 1914, Princeton
81, West Point 6-5, and Pennsyl-
vania 11-3, losing one game to Har-
ward 81. The same year practice
series with the Chicago Nationals
resulted in five victories for the
professionals and four for the uni
versity, with the series a tie when
I06 HluLu game Was WIN ny NLU7
Cubs. In 1910 the Illinois nine
made its famous 1000 per cent rec
ord, winning every game played.
In 1911 Director Huff lost one out
of Is games; in 1915 and 1916 one
game each year was lost. In 1877
the team tied for first place.
Some of the men who learned
their first baseball on Illinois field
under CO. HUFF later became world,
famous big league players. Jake
Stahl, manager of the worlds cham
pionship Boston American club in
1912, and Carl Lundgren, for eight
years a pitcher on the famous Chi
cago Cubs team and now coach OF
baseball at Illinois, received their
first lessons in baseball under bis
tutelage.
Fred Falkenberg, Ray Demmlt
Jimmy Breton, Jack Bradley, Beebe,
Pfeffer and other big league play
ers attribute much Of their success
to the training they received 81
| Illinois under Coach HUFF.
Mr.. Hun formerly devoted DIS
summer months to scouting for the

and recommended many star oSh

HIGH EXPECTS
NO DIFFICULTY
AT MONMOUTH
On Basis of Comparative Scores
Locals Should Gain Easy
Triumph Saturday.
BY PIGSKIN PETE.

First scrimmage of the week in
preparation for the tussle with Mon
mouth high school at Monmouth
Saturday was held by the local high
grid aggregation at Reservoir field
yesterday afternoon. Coach Kimmel
was careful to make it a compare
lively easy workout as several of
his performers have not recovered
entirely from the effects of bruises
and sore spots incurred in the game
at Galesburg last Saturday.
The mentor is giving his attention
to perfecting the squad in new plays
and signals, which he believes will
materially aid the team in the COM
ing hard scraps, particularly against
Davenport and Moline
The Islanders are not anticipat-
ing great deal of trouble in upset
ting the Monmouth lads, but there
is always a chance of the other fei-
low pulling the unexpected. There
fore the team is training as faith
fully for the game as though it was
one of the tri-city rivals to be met
Saturday.
Judging by comparative scores,
Monmouth is considerably lacking
in the class of the local tsasu. No
line defeated Kewanee 40 to 6 and
Kewanee in turn BUNDLED the Maple
City lads 80 to z. On this basis
Rock Island would have to win by
go or 70 to O to show class equal
with Moline, but this score need
not be looked for as Coach Kimmel
intends to use his second string men
most of the way if the situation
warrants. It is the victory Rock
Island wants; not a big score. The
coach feels it is better to keep his
men under wraps and maintain
their condition for coming battles
that should prove much harder.
Moline Wel-Drilled.
According to reports, Moline high
is rounding into a well-drilled ma
chine in which individual stars are
lacking. 1t is getting good coach
ing and this has inspired a splendid
spirit in the players. Schmidt, full
back, is the cog around which the
machine operates. He is a fast, hard
line plunger and undoubtedly car
ries the brunt of the Moline teams
work Extensively.

Saturday at the high school grounds
was. called OF late today to al

attend the Iowa-Illinois game at

1t is not known whether the

ANGLES OF GAME
BY PAUL R MALL0N.
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Oct. 13.-The New
York Giants are on the brink of a
world championship today because
they have produced the hardest
slugger, the best pitcher, the best
fielder and most consistent hitter
of the World Series.
There has been no hero-no SUI

The breaks of the games have
been against the spectacular.
Babe Ruth succumbed to injur-
les. Frank Frisch started off like
an idol, but cracked after the first
two games.
The only rival to Mathewson is
Jesse Barnes, and he has not yet
pitched an entire game.
The best" of the series are:
George Burns, Giant outfelder
and lead man, who has proven the
heaviest slugger. He has four
doubles and a triple.
Little Johnny Rawlings, Giant
second baseman, is the defensive
etdl Win d pcIlCSI aver age. ne
has handled Al chances without a
bobble.
The pitcher with the best aver
age is Jesse Barnes. who has al
lowed but 10 hits and four runs in

Irish Meusel. Giant outfelder. is
the most consistent hitter. He has
the best batting average of those
who have played in all the games.
He has "a times at bat, 9 hits and
percentage of $3.50.
