GENESEO ELEVEN
WINS GAME WITH
SO SCORE
East Moline Lineup Defeated Last
Saturday-Sabs Pat Pep in
Game in Third Quarter.
Especial Correspondence

by virtue Of winning the game but
rather blythe score which was roll
ed up against the East Moline ag-
gregation. While a victory was an
ticipated it was not dreamed that
a score of SO to 0 would be credit
ed to the local team After the
possibility of high score seemed
possible the rooters clamored for a
so total but this was easily sur
passed.
While the big score indicated a
one-sided game. which it really was.
not little credit is due the members
of the East Moline team for the ag-
gressive spirit they displayed
throughout the game in their will
tngness to battle the Geneseo bunch
for every foot of contested ground.
They had very few substitutions,
practically the entire team going
/ through the game. 1t must be stat
ed in fairness that this is East Mo-
lines first year in football Their
| backfieId is very light and showed
! the lack of previous experience
which is true of the team as a
whole. Coach Heimbeck has to his
/ credit the fact that while he is
! teaching his boys the rudiments Of
I football he is eaching them to play
a clean game in a sportsmanlike
; manner.
| Geneseo Kicks on.
The game opened by Wiesjahn on
. the kickoff, booting the ball to
East Moline's 20-ya<d line. On the
+ first play Geneseo recovered the
| ball on a tumble. L. Smith and A.
Schultz failed to make any gains
J but Captain Wiesjahn made ten
yards for a first down. A Schultz
/ then added eight and Hamann went
! over for the first touchdown of the
game. Wiesiahn kicked goal Score,
/ Geneseo, z; East Moline, 0.
After the second kickoff the sec
ond touchdown was duplicated by
practically the same playing. East
Moline again fumbled on their 49,
yard line. Line bucks by A Schultz,
L. Smith and two more by Schultz
and Wiesjahn added one by d goal
kick
! After the next kickoff East Mo-
line made its only first down of the
game by an off tackle run which
was good for II yards. Bassett
again fumbled and it became Gen
eseo's ball on East Moline's 3S
yard line. McBroom plugged
! through for 10 yards. Geneseo lost
4 four yards and then a forward pass,
A Schultz to Combs, placed the
/ ball on the six-yard line. 1t be-
came Geneseo's ball on the one-foot
/ line on the fourth down and Ha-
mann fell over the line for another
/ touchdown. Wiesjahn failed on goal
kick Score: Geneseo, 20; East
| Moline. 0.
| On an exchange of punts it was
| Geneseo's ball on the 40-yard line
They carried it right down the field
/ for the last touchdown and goal of
| the quarter with the score, Gen
eseo, 27. East Moline, 0. Laurel
/ Smith made this touchdown.
Genesee Slows Up.
| In the second quarter Geneseo
did not follow its advantage and
! scored only one touchdown, which
was made by McBroOm and goal
was kicked by Wiesjahn. This lapse
| of strenuous effort is one of Gen
! eseo's faults. They seem content
/ to keep a few touchdoWns ahead
and if the opposing team has such
q lead they do not continue to dis
play their fighting spirit and use
| the playing strength and ability
which is within them. Had they
I played the good football of which
; they are capable, with heads up and
! driven on by spirit of never say
quit" the games with both Rock
! Island and Moline would have been
, held to closer scores if not victor
les. The half ended Geneseo 81.
/ East Moline, 0.
During the third quarter Coach
/ Pruitt began to send in q few sub
stitute players, who added some
! pep to the play. A Schultz, soon
j after the kickoff, made touch
down. Toward the end of the quar-
ter McBroom boosted the total for
six points and Wiesiahn added u
goal kick for a total at the end OF
the third quarter of Al points for
! Geneseo. At no time did East Mo-
line threaten a possibility OF break
ing through for count
In the last quarter more Substi-
tute players were added so that
only two of the men Who started
the game were in the lineup These
were peanuts" Schultz and Ha-
mann. But the substitutes played
! with a vim and dash which will
\ keep some of the regulars on their
! toes TO retain their places on the
( regular team
( Hamann soon added a touchdown.
Then after the next kickoff by East
Moline, the ball was received By
Hamann on the 20-yard line He
started away very fast The inter-
| ference came 10 him very nicely
and protected him to a clear field
and a touchdown from kickoff. The
work of the Geneseo team in giving
! him such excellent interference is
g very encouraging sign Of the
work Coach Pruftt Is doing.
( The next counter came on long
forward pass, a. Schultz to Wies-
jahn, for % yards, followed by a
run to the goal line The next
i touchdown came by Combs receiv-
ing forward pass with a run
! across the line. Ellingsworth went
around right end for so yards for
another marker. Hamann and
Hackett. added two more. Hack
ett's touchdown was the result ot
a 35-yard run through broken
field and by excellent lodging. With
! goal kicks the total for the final
quarter was an additional IS points
with the ball in Geneseo's posses
sion on East Moltne's 15-yard line
