The curtain will fall on the 1921
football season at Augustana col
lege tomorrow afternoon. The Lu-
therans meet the formidable Eure-
ka eleven in the last game of the
season, and the contest promises TO
be one of the Nbest of the year.
Ericsson field will be the place of
activities and the time has been
set for $50. Seventy-five cents
will admit anyone to the game.
When the first whistle blows, the
Augustana football squad will be
facing a team which has been
forced TO accept defeat but once
this season. The Eureka team has
trounced each of its opponents,
with the exception of Illinois col
lege, who turned the tables on Nc
Kenzie's men last Saturday, hum
bling them - to 0. Such teams as
Illinois Wesleyan, Monmouth. He'd
ding and Carthage have fallen be
fore the onslaught of the visitors.
and they are coming to Rock Island
TO defeat Swedberg's men. The Au
gus.ana players are equally deter
mined that they are going to hand
Eureka walloping and close the
season with a win.
Augustana will go into the con-
test with the same men in the line.
but several changes have been
made in the backfeld The alb
sence of Gully Alsene has made
this imperative. Although it is not
absolutely certain that Gully will
not be in condition to go into the
fracas. it is sure that he will not
be able TO play more than half of
the contest. Although slowly i'm
proving, his knee is still far from
being in the best OF condition. His
absence will necessitate Rog Peter
son being shifted to the half posi-
ton, and Ericsson directing the Au
gle eleven. Holland will cover the
other half and Willard Larson will
Re al full Larson has developed
into a smashing fullback. and if he
can hit the stride which he set in
the game against Bradley last Sat
urday, he can be counted upon to
make his share of the yardage
against the Eureka aggregation.
Ericsson will direct the team for the
b
ed at quarter against Monmouth
{ and showed that he has the making
OF a good general Swedberg be
lieves that this combination viii
form d great offensive attack and
that his team Will be able to win
over its opponents.
! Augustana will be greatly out
weighed, but plans TO offset this
with speed and terrific charging.
! If. in the event that no yardage can
be made in straight football, Augie
will revert TO the sky attack Much
! time has been given over this
method of attack during the last
week. and the Swedes have l. down
to perfection. Ericsson passes with
great accuracy. and with Wilson
and Swanson covering the wing
positions it is anticipated passes for
substantial gains will be complet-
ed. Those witnessing tomorrow s
contest will see some real charg-
ing on the part of Augustana, and
no doubt on the part Of Eureka as
well. The way in which Swed-
berg's regulars have been tearing
holes in the seconds defense this
week gives assurance that some big
cavities will be opened in Eureka's
line.
Two teams more evenly matched
have not made their appearance in
the tri-cities this season. and to-
morrow's battle promises to be well
worth seeing.
Special attention is called to the
time OF the game. The contest will
start at 2:30, due to the early hour
of darkness.
