-O0e Oh the greatest DCOfluS Gom-
binations ever put together in a
middle western high school will be
ono Of the attractions offered to
fans attending the Rock Island-Mo-
line championship football game
at Douglas park, Saturday Said
scoring machine is the Moline
eleven which has run up total of
; 1913 points in the four games play
ed this season..
This averages more than 80
points per game and any team that
can do this is good. for no matter
how weak a team is it is no easy
matter to pile up points in such
great amount. When an aggrega-
ton scores at will in all of their
games it is a good sign that they
have real strength.
Moline has scored in every pos
s!ble way, through the air, by
forward pass. long runs. short
runs. line plunges and off-tackle
runs. The opposition to the Mol
iners has only been fair, but they
have defeated all Of them by more
than usual scores. To score more
than 80 points in a game in seas
on is something. To do this three
times out of four chances it is
more than of passing notice.
All of the Moline backfield and
many linemen have shared in the
point getting and many of the sub
stitutes have added scores in all
games.
The one team of well recognized
strength that Moline defeated was
the gang that represented Gales
burg high. The lads from the ST.
wash school came out OF the tussle
at the bottom of a AZ to 7 score
The touchdown scored by the
Galesburgers was made when they
blocked Moline punt while the
line positions were mostly filled by
substitutes.
