The third road trip Of the season
for the Rock Island high school
football squad is scheduled for Sat
urday. when the team will journey
to Burlington. Iowa, where they
will combat the fast aggregation Of
that city. The strength Of the Bur
lington team is not known, but II
usually turns out strong team
and this year is not expected To
prove an exception.
Burlington fans have displayed
more than passing interest in the
Rock Island team all through Jthe
season, having requested scores
and particulars OF all Of the Grim
sons games, and expect the fuss
on Saturday to be the hardest
game on its schedule.
Burlington is new team On the
Islanders list. For that reason NOT
much is known about 1t. The squad
from that city but rarely visits this
part Of the state, its only game
with team known to the islanders
being against Monmouth. That
game this year was at the Maple
City and the home team was victo-
rious by a small score. Monmouth
lis hard to beat on its own field and
a defeat by small score is not
much basis for comparison.
The islanders went back into
training yesterday afternoon with
a long practice at the Reservoir
field. With the exception Of Cap
tain Hall. the majority Of the play
ers are in good condition. Hall will
probably be out Of the Burlington
game, as his wrist will not yet be
healed. With Alvine and Mayer
both back in shape the loss of Hall
will not be felt so much.
Another member of the Rock Is
land squad who should be Of help
is Norman Kone. Kone played in
wonderful fashion in the brief
space of tine he was allowed to
perform against Davenport. Kone,
although light, is one of the best
Hnemen in the tri-cities. A close
follower CT the ball and a sure and
deadly tackler he is valuable man
for any team. He can play at any
position, but likes to work at cen
Ter. he played the entire game
against Moline at guard and all of
the Sterling fracas at center, Clark
going to tackle.
When injected into the game at
Davenport IN the MIDDLE of the first
quarter, he made three straight
tackles and several more at snort
intervals. Shortly after he was
Withdrawn from the ARRAY.
Greer. who played the major por-
ton at quarterback Saturday, is
the probable choice for that posi-
ton IN the coming game Greer is
coming right along as a pilot and
can run the team in fair fashion.
Anderson played in capable style
during the Davenport invasion, es-
pecially showing up we'll near the
end of the game.
Viner is one Of the best backfield
men who has ever worn Rock Is
land uniform. His fighting spirit
and natural ability makes him one
Of the greatest line plungers in this
section OF the state. Viner is never
licked and fights until the last
whistle, no matter what the score.
The line is the islanders strong
est fort. II the team was not pos
sessed Of a strong forward wall
the game against Davenport would
have been an easy victory for the
Iowans.
Moline has tasted the first severe
injury of the seas on in Axene, who
is in Moline hospital with a badly
twisted knee. He will probably be
out Of the Swedes' next game,
against Peoria, robbing the Molin-
ers of their best lineman.
Moline has settled down to hard
training again and hopes to correct
the faults displayed against Cham
paign.
