They didn't try many passes.
Afraid to take the chance, probably.
Most of those tried were intercept
ed by the Bears, anyhow. And
then ODE Wenig was apparently for
gotten until all hope had fled. ODE
was called upon in the last min
ute, after Sternaman had checked
up the three points. There was
time only for three plays then. aft
er the kickoff, and, Of course, ODE
couldn't help much.
There were q few other high
lights to the game. Captain Jim
Councilman furnished one Of them
when he fell into a trap laid by the
crafty. Bears. It was fourth down
for the Bears. 10 yards to go, and
they were near midfield. Three
passes had failed. On fourth down
Walquist, instead OF punting, hurl-
ed the ball 40 yards, directly into
the waiting arms Of Councilman.
Three tacklers charged down the
field. Jim made a beautiful catch
on Rock Islands 10-yard line,
where he was downed. That one
act came close to being responsible
for a score by the Bears in the
first half. Naturally, the Island
ers we're forced to punt from their
own goal. The Bears quickly
brought the ball into danger terri
tory. Dutch" Sternaman went
through the preliminary motions Of
getting set for a placekick. The
signal called for a forward to
Stinchcomb instead, but time was
up for the half and the danger
averted for the moment.
Spectacular Dash.
Utilize" Voss' 72-yard dash after
intercepting one of Walquist's pass
es was by all odds the most thrill
ing piece of work of the afternoon
for Rock Island fans. Sterna-
mans placekick was depressing.
We all thought "Tillie" was sure
bet for a touchdown, while he COW
cred chalk line after chalk line
with Buck" Gavin trailing slight
ly in his wake. But little Joe Ster-
naman and Larry Walquist came
dashing after "Tillie" from two
different angles. Walquist was
cutting more across field, and
Gavin had to leave Voss to his own
legs to take out the former Illinois
star. Joe caught up to Voss inside
Rock Islands 20-yard line.
Slater Point Of Attack.
The Bears played the left side
of Rock Islands line for its weak
est point. Ed, HeaIey and Dewey
Lyle effectively checked anything
tried their way. The Bears massed
play after play at Slater's tackle
and often found openings directly
at the center of the line. End
runs failed to net the Bears any
substantial yardage Gavin play
ed nice defensive game at full
back. He retired near the end
with a damaged left leg.
There was no outstanding play
er among the Bears unless it was
Dutch Sternaman, who not only
kicked but did most of the ground
gaining. Garvey. playing end,
stopped many of Rock Islands off
tackle smashes, but nit was team
work that told.
The first three quarters of the
game were remarkably free of rag
chewing. Near the end of the third
quarter, however, Mike Casteel and
Anderson got on the outs, showed
it. and both we're banished from
the game. There was only one
penalty inflicted for roughness,
and this against the Bears after
they had reached Rock Islands Z
yard line.
Big Crowd Sees Game.
The crowd was variously estimat-
ed between 1000 and 5000. 1t was
the largest turnout of the season
at Cubs park, we we've infoI med.
