Contest Saturday With the

BIZ NAT GEIsMAR.

next Saturday. the ROCK Island nign
school grldders are working extra
time this week. The Clinton bunch
was defeated 10 to 0 at Davenport,
the Red and Blue showing complete
reversal Of form.
II is tho aim OF the local team to
swamp Clinton, but the Islanders
know that they will have to play
better football than they have dis
played SO far this season. However,
although the Crimson will make a
big attempt to defeat the Clinton
ians by a top-heayy score, 1t is
known that Coacn kimmel will take
no chance OF injuring. mrs men III
order to make more than good
showing.
a CAPTAIN Hall will be out OF the
struggle Saturday IN order that he
may be in the best possible shape
for the Moline game on the follow
ing Saturday. Hall has come
through his recent injury in fine
shape and he could play Saturday
il Coach Kimmel would allow HIM.
The Islander mentor states that lie
will not allow the captain to enter
the game even If it would turn a
defeat into victory.
Woodward has been lost to the
team for the balance OF the season
because of parental objections
This leaves the backfield even more
short of capable substitutes.
The team is now in better physi.
cal shape than it has been since the
opening of the season. Only one
or two men are nursing injuries. Ii
is hoped by everyone concerned
that the squad gets through thu
rest of the schedule without an,
more cripples.
Afew more trick plays have beer
added to the list of fake maneuver:
uf the Crimson, but it is though
that these will be kept more or les!
under cover until the Moline fracas
The team has taken the Moiln'
game TO nearI more tnan any squat
mas Tor some years and benind tn
vim in the practice sessions is tina
Little saying, Beat Moline.
VIner anu kone, who were lnel1
gible Tor the Monmouth game, viii
i probably be in the lineup at TIL
s.art OF the Clinton encounter
h Without these two men and minu
the number Of first string linemel
as the team was SATURDAY, tn
squad was an entirely olneren
lloking aggregation tnan the teal
when started the season against tn
the alumni.
A large crowd of roOters vii
probably accompany the team t
clinton on the weekend and hel
pep" up the bunch against the up
river crew. The trip lis not long
either for those who wish to motto
to the scene Of the battle or thos
who care to take the interurban u
the river. The team will probabl
leave Davenport from the l. &
station at $3.50 o'clock in the morn
ing and arrive at itSdestination a
II O'Clock.
The second team is scheduled t
battle the East Moline varsity squa,
at East Moline, Saturday, if the re
CURED number of men are on han,
to make up a squad that will be q
credit to the school. East Molin
has improved since the game wit
Rock Islands first stringers an
should defeat the reserves.
H Moline performed according I
dope and gave Galesburg a prett
Kicking Saturday. If any one is O
the idea that Moline is not NOR
ethan ordinarily strong they Nigh
Sas we'll discard the idea right away
THE Swedes have an aggregation O
seasoned warriors and they perform
Hike a we'll organized machine. A
syet they have not met team wit
"a defensive power like the Island
ers have, but the Moliners have
scoring combination that is a
strong as any ever put together a
the Moline school.
Any team that defeats the Swede
this year deserves all the credit il
the world, for Coach Senneff ha
fcertainly developed an aggregate,
of topnotch quality.
4 Davenport by its display of vel
coached and experienced football
senters strongly as contender TO
stri-city honors. Davenport is show
ling up just like it did last year, de
sveloping slowly but rounding GU
lat the end Of the year as grea
smachine. Some fans who are un
der the impression that Davenpor
will be easy meat for the Island
srs will have big surprise II
s,store for them on Armistice day
when the two teams mingle in thei
~ A~xty.
