Galesourg, nemesis Of ma,v !.
championship team, will inyaSss
fair shores of this city for ! ~
with the local high school fooss.s
ers next Saturday, in q game n
promises to develop into q strr.,l
as good as any championshjs II
fair. The boys from the Siv1
town are coming to Rock M,
for revenge and expect to - n
locals back for the defeat tho "a.
son handed them last year
The islanders will not be /, i.
best condition for this hard -.
and this fact will work mn, |
their chances. The Islanders ~.
had more than the usual RIM Il
hard luck, and the team has s.
fered accordingly. 1t seems mn
in every game some more OF 4.
stars are laid up. However. this i,
an unusual state of affairs and \
is expected that it will stop if n
end has not already come.
Had the backfeld played ~
Saturday as we'll as it did againS
East Moline the Macomb teal
would never have gone out of th|
game on the long end Of the scor,
The ball carriers seemed to laeiI
the force that they display usualh|
and the scoring power was conse|
quently SO diminished that the,|
failed to put the ball over the Linz
Macomb never had a chance nj
score a touchdown by straight fool
ball and were not successful in III
vancing the ball on any kind q
play except the one time that SpahlI
got away on a trick forward paSl
play, but that was sufficient To va|
the game.
Hail Is Power.
The Rock Island line, and espt|
cially the playing of Captain Hall
was easily the feature of the gans|
The Macomb backs lost ground u|
cry time they hit Halls side OF III
line. and this was mainly thruuhI
the efforts of the Islander leada|
Chambers at left end was ntkl
there in stopping the Macombsnl
and near the end of the game VI
enemy did not go near these ma
In addition to his stellar defensNl
playing Hall opened big holes d
the offense and the Islander gain|
were made in the most part thruuHI
him.
Chambers is a demon on recetI
ing forward passes and the Island
ers might do well to perfect an t|
attack during the coming weet|
Coaches are using the air methd|
of scoring more and more and
team with a good forward passill
attack has an advantage in . clss1
game because there is always pot|
sibility Of a man getting a pass fa|
a long gain. This was only tH
true last Saturday when Macons
with the ball on their own S0-yaN
line won the game with forwara
pass that put them in position To-
the place-kick that won the gams
Davenport came out on top d
their first game last Friday witt
West Liberty. The Davenport squat
put up a we'll coached game aM
had their foes at their mercy at M
times. although the West Liberu
gang put up stiff resistance durinl
the last half. Davenport showa
the result of two weeks of training
without the worry of a game at ID
end of each week.
Moline worked hard against tns
weak Princeton team and as a r.
suit had little trouble in running
up a large score. Moline found III.
tie fight in the Princeton line ane
the backs and ends knew little abou'
how to stop end runs and the NO.
liners circled the tanks at VIII
Altogether it was a nice day I0'
the Swedes.
