Especial correspondence

Sterling, Ill, Oct 24.-The Rock
Falls high school football team won
a victory over Byron Saturday on
the Rock Falls field, 81 to Is, in the
initial home game before a crowd
of enthusiastic rooters. The two
teams were fairly well matched and
for a while it appeared as though
it would be a tie game. Rock Falls
secured two tpuchdowns due to ig-
norance of the rules on the part OF
the Byron players. These two
touchdowps were deciding factors
of the contest. One of the touch
downs came when the ball re-
bounded back of the Byron goal
line from a punt by Rock Falls and
a Rock Yalls man fell on the bali
Another touchdown was obtained
when the hall was kicked of by
Rock Falls and one of the Rock
Falls players fell ON the ball back
of the goal line
The Rock Falls team showed up

BY PIGSKIN PETE.

While the Rock Island eleven
was enjoying a rest, enforced
through the canceling ofsthe same
with Aledo at the last minute, its
tri-city rivals were engaging in
hard conflicts, which brought vic
tory to Moline and defeat to Dav-
export. Moline registered z to
0 win over Galesburg high school,
while Davenport lost a close. hard
fought battle to Iowa City, by the
narrow margin of Is to IA, and
with it a chance for the Iowa state
football championship.
Bewildered and surprised by the
speed and fight Of the light Iowa
City eleven, Dayenport's line crum,
bled at crucial stage in the third
period when, after Iowa City ad-
vanced the ball to within> striking
distance of the red and blue goal
line, the Davenport forward wall
gave in TO desperate charge made
by Powers, who smashed eight
yards for the touchdown that elm
mated Davenport from the race for
Iowa high school football honors.
Game to End.
Davenport bowed in defeat, how
ever. only after a desperate effort
in the fourth period when their
second touchdown was scored after
pounding the Iowa City line time
after time for short but steady
gains. Then with the score 16 to
IA against them, the red and blue
warriors started another drive for
touchdown which time alone, per
haps, stopped.
1t was the brilliant forward pass
attack which the Little Hawks
used against the warriors of the
red and blue which led to the Iowa
City triumph. Time after time dur,
ing the contest the visitors shot
long passes which went for big
gains.
Davenport had little success with
the aerial attack and relied also
entirely upon straight football to
advance the pigskin. The two Dav-
export touchdowns were of a fiukey
nature.
Iowa City outpIayed Davenport
during the greater paH of the game
both Extensively and defensiveiy
and scored a well earned victory.
Fighting every minute of the game
and getting the better OF the
breaks, the visitors took advantage
of every opportunity, while Daven-
port. although fighting desperately
at all stages, was not SO quick to
take advantage Of the breaks that
favored them.
1t was Captain Beal's drop kick

The Saints ofTense displayed a
decided improvement over last
week while the line showed I'D
well also. Bouquet and Mckenzie
were the strongest gamers for the
locals tearing through the visitors
line for big gains. The Ambrosians
used the end run to great advant-
age and gained much ground ON
OF tackle smashes. During the
third quarter Quincy made several
long passes but were unable to
hold on to the ball and lost every
chance they had of scoring
The strong work of the line vas
the outstanding feature of the
game Time and again the Saint
linemen would break through and
throw the backs for a loss. MalIoy
and Nolan were the strongest men
on the Saints line and it was due
to their work that the backs were
able to walk through the visitors
line. Murphy and Green also play

ry on the offensive and an ability
to block Knox indefinitely any place
inside the 10-yard line were the
assets that gave Carleton college a
Il to 6 victory over Knox here sat
urday afternoon. Carleton found
the locals a hard proposition-the
hardest Of the year. So the men
said-while Knox, scrapping to the
last ditch, had TO put forth their
best to hold their own Touch
downs by OBrien and Bach in the
first and second quarters accounted
for CarIeton's score, while Knox
rung in a touchdown from forward
pass in the last two minutes OF
play, Hosford carrying the ban.
Through the first half of the first
quarter Carleton, keeping the ball,
tore gaps through the Knox line
plays were used, and this style
was adopted by Knox during the
rest of the period O'Brien, Cowles
and Bach were terrible ground
gamers, and for Knox, WEIGH, Lud-
wick and Gorham carried the ball
for gains. The big shade went to
Carleton until late IN the half. when
Knox's line was patched up and
held better.
The contest developed into an
aerial battle in the second half, and
passes were frequent The Garlic
ton ends made big gains on passes
until Barry's boys got the hang Of
breaking such plays up, and Knox
later used passes to advantage.
Twice Knox got down within the
10-yard line, but met a granite
fence in the concentrated Carleton
team and lost the ball both times.
The end of the game found the Pur-
pie team still going strong and
Carleton falling back toward the
Knox goal line.
