Lutheran Crew Puts Up Great Fight
Against Strong Peoria
Team.

Bradley Polytechnic of Peoria
added one more victim to its string
Saturday afternoon and continued
its march for the championship of
the l. l. A. C. conference by thor
oughly trouncing Augustana col
lege at Erickson field to the tune
of "a to 0.
.Augustana players put up a brave
fight and at times had Coach Rob-
ertson's men very much ON the de-
fensive, but experience and weight
took their natural course, and
Augie was forced to accept its sew
enth consecutive defeat Of the
season.
Thrills were plentiful during the
48 minutes Of play. Bunny Gross,
one Of the fastest football players
ever donning a uniform at Bradley,
treated the spectators to one Of
his specialties. With but 80 sec
onds Of play remaining in the first
half, Augustana, carrying the ball,
attempted a forward pass. Gross,
always on the alert, snatched the
leather ont Of the hands Of an Au-
gustana player on Bradley's 4o-yard
line and ran 60 yards for the Peo-
rians goal.

PADDY PADDLES,
CARDS TO Win
Chicago SOuthSiGers Continue Win.
ming Streak at Expense
OF Akron.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-Scoring their
lone touchdown by means OF sub
marine plunge, the Chicago Cardl-
nails wn their sixth straight victory
in ankle deep mud on White Sox
field yesterday and put another
scalp in their belts by trimming
the Akron Indians, Z to 0.
The greater part Of the game
was played in the deep mud OF the
infield. because, once anchored in
that mire, neither team could kick,
run or pass out of it save that once,
when a forward pass resulted in
one of the strangest scores ever reg
istered, and gave the unbeaten
Cardinals more grounds for hop
ing for the championship of the
POSTCARD league.
How Cardinals Scored.
The score came early in the sec
ond quarter. The Cardinals gained
possession of the ball near the
Akron 40-yard line in the edge of
the swamp, and A. Mcmahon
dropped back and shot the soggy
ball over Akron's left end to Paddy
Driscoll, who was splashing along
at top speed, and, catching the ball;
swerved suddenly past the tackler
and broke for the goal line with a
clear field. Sheeks was in hot pur-
suit-and you know how those
Sh!eks pursue. Driscoll hit an is
land, gained; then came to the ford
across the scalped baseline, Just as
Sheeks leaped after him and
grabbed him by both legs below the
knee. Together they dived into the
mud at the 5-yard line, half sub
merged, and still locked together,
with Driscoll sliding on the side Of
his face and ,Sheeks' nonskids re-
fusing to hold, they slid six yards
through mud and water, stopping
a yard past the goal line.

Bring on this gentleman named
Morris Sch1aifer," opined Billy
Wells, pride Of Great Britain and
one of the greatest welters ever
produced by England, today as he
talked to a group of tri-city news
papermen. Wells, speaking with q
decided English accent, had a de-
termined look on his face as he let
the words slip from his lips. He
said he had heard "Mr. Schlaifer
spoken of as an exceedingly ard
gentleman to defeat"
Surrounding Wells this morning.
as he stepped in a local cigar
store, was a group Of local fistic
fans who shot questions at the
Briton so rapidly that he had hard
ly time to breathe. But the good
natured fellow from across the big
pond was patient and stood up
against the bombardment OF quer-
les, gamely.
Wells with his manager, Charles
Harvey of New York, arrived in
Davenport early Sunday morning.
He rested Sunday, but this morning
took a long jadnt on the road and
was prepared late this afternoon to
don his training. togs to work at
Smiths gymnasium. He was not
expected to box today, but will
probably step a few rounds at the
same place Tuesday afternoon at
|2::30. ~
The Englishman declared he was
ready for next Friday nights i'm
portant clash with Schlaifer at the
Coliseum. Pm in perfect condi-
tion," remarked Billy. He escaped
unmarked from the Tillman bout
Speaking of that engagement, Wells
remarked that he was sorry he was
compelled to give the st. Paul box
er such an unmerciful laeing. "You
see," he said, John is a bully
chap, but then you know it's our
game to deal out punishment"

late Saturday. Billy Rolfe of Oma-

Milligan of Sioux City in the six
round semi-final. Milligan is a
classy scrapper. His latest victim
is Archie Amons of Marshalltown

BY NAT aRISMAR.

In one Of the greatest duels ever
fought out by tri-city schools. Rock
Island and Davenport Saturday
played a scoreless tie. It was the
second time in two years that the
Crimson and Red have battled t.
scoreless ties.
! The battle was just like these
two rivals always play Fight from
beginning to end featured the COM
bat At no time did either show
marked edge, although at first Dav-
export staged a march that sent
fear into the hearts Of the Island
ers.
1t was the great fighting spirit
that saved the day for the Crimson
and Gold. Entering the fray on
the short end of the dope, the Is
landers overcame their handicap
by demonstrating 4 fighting spirit
that could not be downed. The
Davenport squad, strong running
backfield, could only occasionally
penetrate the Islander front wall
and time and time again they were
stopped on the scrimmage line by
the fighting islanders.
The game might have been won
by field. goal. Both had chances
for field goals from about the 20
yard line, but each time they chose
to try for touchdowns, and failed.
1t was the defensive strength of
the islanders that saved the day.
The Davenport backfield was stop
ped whenever danger doomed. DAY.
export presented a weaker defen-,
sive line, but the Islanders, al
though displaying the best attack
Of the year, lacked the punch to
gain consistently:
Is Moral Victory.
Although the shore was q tie, the
game will be written in history as
moral victory for the Islanders.
The locals were picked to be de-
feated, but they overcame their
handicaps by demonstrating a
fighting spirit that held the great
backfield of the Iowans.
Spectacular Run.
What was probably the most
spectacular run of the game gave
the locals their chance to score. in
the last part of the third period
On an end-around play Houston
travelled Is yards to the Red and
Blue 20-yard line. where the Is
landers tried for touchdown with

The islanders remained in DAY.

Peoria school, but if any individ-
ual deserves commemorate re-
marks, it is Bunny Gross. Besides
furnishing the big thriller Of the
fracas, Gross was instrumental in
advancing for his team little by
little until within striking distance,
and scored two markers.
Cornell, playing left tackle for
Augustana, stood head and shoul-
ders above any other lineman of
the two elevens. Few were the
gains which Bradley made through
his side of the line, and his terrific
charging made some nice holes for
the Augie runners which netted
substantial gains.
Anderson, playing his first year
OF football, was the chief yard
gamer for Augustana.

was brought to an end when
Rock Islander intercepted the ball
when in air.
The Crimson went right back up
the field, but we're halted before
they reached dangerous attacking
distance of the Davenport goal.
Davenport opened the game with
q squirt, making two first downs
right at the start and following
this with third moment later.
The Rock Island line turned into
a stone wall and Davenport was
stopped.
Many Penalties.
Numerous penalties were infiict-
ed on both teams, The squads
seemed over-anxious and several
times were penalized Is yards for
holding. Four 15-yard penalties,
two on each team, were inflicted,
and this slowed up the game.
The Davenport backs several
times went through the middle of
the Rock Island line for gains. but
these proved Of little consequence.
Eckstrand was the most consistent
ground gamer for Davenport, al
though Camp was the most spec
tacular when in possession OF the
ball. Camp was responsible for
the holding of the Islanders, as he
broke up several passing attacks.
LeBuhn was the strongest Daven-
port iineman on defensive.
Vfner is Star.
Viner did the heaviest offensive
work for the Islanders and made
several tackles that STAYED off long

angles and the largest score by
which the Independents ever
have been a recognized leader
of the pro league.

In all fairness to Dayton, it must
be admitted about 80 percent of the
breaks went to Rock Island. With
a little luck, Dayton might have
prevented at least four of the six
touchdowns. Forty yard passes to
the goal line often do not happen.
There were two of these. Voss
picked up tumble and ran 40
yards for a touchdown. Mike Cas-
teel by a brilliant 35-yard run made
a touchdown. On the basis of good.
hard play by both teams, Rock Is
land is just about two touchdowns
better than Dayton.
