GENEROSITY OF
FANS PROOF OF
HOW THEY FEEL

Some there were, who forecast
ignominous failure of this booster
edition when it was undertaken a
few weeks ago. T'ri-city CONNER
cial and industrial interests and in
dividual well-wishers of the team
would be unwilling to give again
for football, it was freely predicted.
This edition of The Argus is
living example of how far from the
beaten track these prognosticators
II was made possible by the COM
bined generosity of $50 loyal sup
had permitted themselves to stray
porters of clean, high class sport,
exactly IS more than contributed
in 1920 for a similar undertaking
They have opened their hearts and
purses with greater loyalty than
ever before.
Is this proof that football is a
big proposition in Rock Island?
There can be only one answer, and
that is an unqualified yes"
These 100 advertisers, thorough
boosters, are for the Independents.
first, last and all the time They
prove it by helping the team along
the rocky road to financial success.
Let every lover of football be and
do likewise.
The Independents are to meet
the best in the business practically
every week this fall. They may not
win all; that is too much to expect. /
But the players must surely al /
ways feel a keen regard for Rock !
Island fandom, no matter what the |
fates hold for them on the gridiron |
during the season at hand

TWO DIVISIONS
OF GRID LEAGUE
ARE SUGGESTED

With Rock Island, there are q
other cities between the Atlantic
coast and the Mississippi compris-
ing the American Professional
Football association. Included
with this city are such important
places as Chicago, Canton, Buffalo
Decatur, Detroit Akron, Toledo,
Dayton. Cleveland, Tonawanda,. n.
Y, Columbus, Hammond, Roches-
ter, Minneapolis, Muncie, Evans
vile, Louisville, Green Bay. Gin
c1nnati, Washington and New Ha-
ven, Conn.
The members are limited to COM
petition from within the associa-
ton unless given special dispensa-
ton by action of the governing
board to play against a team out
side the organization.
The suggestion has been made
that the association be divided into
two distinct and separate divisions
to be designated as major and mi
nor. The major division could be
determined from the standpoint of
drawing power and include such
cities as Rock Island, Dayton, Buff
falo, Decatur, Chicago, Canton, De-
troit, Akron, Toledo ard Cleveland,
with possibly two others.
1t should be remembered the
above apportionment is merely a
suggestion and no doubt might
stand changes. Many of the cities
not included in the major division
are capable Of playing just
as good football as the others, but
they are not given effective sup
port at home.
