Manager Walter Flanagan in the

night will have to admit.
The potentate Of the gridiron, in
the course Of his remarks about
prospects for the season, spoke of
the achievements of the past in
giving Rock Island a}major league
football team. This, he said, has
been possible because of the splen-

for the whole-hearted generosity OF
the business men football ON such

Chicago, Sept. 2.-(By the Asso-

in the history Of the Rock Island
Independent football organization
are tfnged with a particularly bril-
liant hue, and the opening OF the
season is Yet q month in the offing.
More than one hundred fans were
given something to talk about
when they gathered in the Cham
Der of Commerce rooms last night
and heard Manager Walter Flani-
gan enunciate the high spots of his
plans for the season. To intimate
that the 1922 representatives will
excel the wonderful aggrega.ions
of the past, especially ct such an
early date, is breaking long estab-
lished precedent. Those vino know
the independents boss best can ap-
preciate this most. Heretofore
Flanagan has in the main followed
the policy of keeping quiet until he
had his stars in the city.
OF course, it is names alone that
fandom is interested in at this time.
The little chief waxed enthusiastic
along these lines, but not until aft
er he had given the assembled bugs
a clear insight into the working
mechanism Of the American Foot
ball league, showing why it is pos
sible now for a manager to sign a
prospective player and feel reason
ably sure that he has the bird in his
hand. That $1,000 forfeit should
keep them all in line in the matter
of rules and regulations. Tamper-
ing with players under contract is
absolutely prohibited.
Flanagan has received word from
practically all of last seasons win
ming combination. With few excep-
tions,, every man is eager to get
back into the harness on the local
side. All of which means Rock Is
[, land will see the pick of the 1921
squad here again, fortified by the
addition of several new performers
of known expert ability.
| Famous Stars.
! There was a sharp intake OF
breath from everyone present when
Walter let it be known that he has
hopes of landing Utilize" Voss, the
giant end of last seasons Detroit
Tigers. Further, Walter Clago,
who was Voss' running mate, is
keen to line up here for the grind.
Another is "Chuck" Carney, all
American end at Illinois, who in
spite sof a brilliant reputation, is
finding difficulty breaking in some
where in the association. Besides
these there is Oke Smith and ODE
Wenig of last years team. There
is doubt as to big Wenig for the
reason that he is now lined up as
a coach somewhere near Sioux City
and has requested permission to
join the Independents every week
end. As Flanagan put matters, this
is out of the question, not only Tor
Wenig but for any others who may
be harboring a similar hope. EN-
NETT Keefe, guard, wants to remain
in Chicago the greater part of the
week. So far these are the only
1.-TWO from last season who seem de-
stined to lose out unless they can
Iarrange affairs to remain here per
Imanently. Eddie Novak, halfback
is married, and has besides his
wife a baby boy to look after. He
has indicated he does not want tt
give up a position in Minneapolis
to return for football.

considered for tackle tryouts, there
is Fred Denfield Of the 1920 team,
Horning, star tackle with Detroit
last season. and Duke Slater, the
dusky star of Iowa's 1921 cham
pionship team. Healey, Travis and
Buland OF the old guard are report
ed to be eager to get back.
At guards, besides Dewey Lyle
and Emmett Keefe, among the pros
poets are Jerry H. Jones Of the
1920 Staleys, Ralph Clay Of De-
troit university and John Pucelik
Of Nebraska university. Each of
these are men of formidable repu-
tation justly earned.
The team intends to rely on
"Jug" Earps, the Monmouth boy,
for center, but will bring on one or
two others to help out. At quar-
terback will be Jimmy Councilman.
Fighting for chance at this posi-
ton may be such men as "Chuck"
Lewis, Missouri university Tommy
Holleran, Akron Indians, and Mike
Casteel, Kalamazoo.
At half backs new selections are
such performers as Harry Eielson
and Erickson, both of Washington
I& Jefferson's champions of last
season, Don Peden of Illinois.
Jerry Johnson and Lane Bridgeford
will be back in the fold. Buck Cav
in, the slashing fullback, is coming,
bringing with him Dutch" Lauer
of Detroit university.
There are numerous others whom
Flanagan is in communication
with. Not all of the men here men
toned have been landed to con-
tracts, the fans should understand,
but chances are most of them will
be rounded up. The-names are pre-
T; scented with the idea in view of
showing fandom what is being done
, and what can be done to. bring one
of the greatest arrays of football
talent to Rock Island in the history
of the game.
As to Admission.
Admission at the gate will be
uniform all over the league. This
will be 81 not including war tax.
Flanagan told the fans that he aims
to provide between 1000 and $500
seats for general admission ticket
buyers. His hopes are to stage
campaign for the sale Of season
tickets and insure the financial
success of the venture before the
first game is played. Plans along
this line are being worked out
| Five games have been carded for
the local lot, which would mean
$3.50 per season book. If $500 OF
these can be disposed of, the man.
agement will have the needed as
surance to go ahead and bring the
big time stars on.
