- Twenty players accompanied Dy
Manager Walter Flanagan and
group of rooters boarded the Rock
Island train for Peoria this after
noon on the first lap Of their jour
ney to Decatur, there to buck
against the Staleys in what I'M
doubtedly is the most important
game on the schedule Of the indie
pendents-
~ The party Included ODE Woenig,
Dave Hayes, Oke Smith, Frank
.Conghlin, Walter Buland, Ed Healy,
Emmett Keefe, Duey Lyle, Freeman
Fitzgerald, Harold Hanson, jug"
Earps, Grove Malone, Eddie Novak,
Jim Councilman, Walter Brindley,
Sid Nichols, Eddie Duggan, Lane
Bridgeford, George Wander Loo and
Paddy Quinn.
The probable starting lineup
will be: Woenig and Smith, ends;
Buland and Coughlin, tackles;
Keefe and Lyle, guards; Fitzgerald,
center; Nichols, quarterback; Con-
zelman and Noyak, halfbacks; Van
der Loo, fuilback.
A change in previous plans for
making the trip were announced
this morning by Manager Flanagan.
Instead of leaving Peoria tomorrow
noon, the team will await an Hi
nois Central train at 5 o'clock. They
will have supper in Peoria Arriv-
ing in Decatur about o'clock,
every man Will be hustled into bed
at the Trait hotel.
Wander Loo, we are informed that
is his correct name, made a favor
able impression at fullback yester-
day. His work. stamped him as the
best bet for the position and it is
more than likely he will start. He
weighs about IT'S POUNDS and is con-
structed along speed lines.
Oke Smith seems u have the call
over Dave Hayes at end. Oke did
not get into the game last Sunday,
but Hayes defensive work could
not be classed on a par with Oke's
known ability.
While Nichols has been out of uni
form for several days this week, his
condition remains unimpaired and
the chances of him starting at quar-
terback are the best, apparently.
Noyak and Councilman undoubted-
ly will start at the halfback
berths. This pair is expected to
create plenty of trouble in the ranks
of the Staleys.
Walter Buland and Captain
Coughlin will be seen in at their re-
spective tackle positions. The Sta
leys are expected to come to grief
in trying to smash through these
two powers.
While Duey Lyle will start at his
regular guard berth, the other job
is a toss up between Keefe and
Healy, with either likely to get the
first call. Healy impressed with
his work in the Detroit game.
Officials.
doc" Lambert of Ohio State uni
versity will referee. Moore of chi
cago university has been secured
for umpiring duties while the work
of headlinesman will be taken care
of by Keown, an employee of Spaul-
dings in Chicago.
These three officials enjoy we'll
earned regulations for efficient
work and are expected to judge the
play from a dispassionate point of
view.
