feat of the season here Saturday.

the strong Parsons college eleven
to the tune of q to 0. At no time
durin. the 40 minutes Of play did
the Augustana have a chance Of
scoring, 80 yards being the closest
which Swedberg's men came to the
opposing goal. 4
Clean play and good sportsman
ship marked the play throughout.
Not once was there bit Of un-
craftsmanship shown, and the
clean manner in which the ath-
letes of both teams played brought
commendable remarks from every
one of the 500 spectators. But four
penalties were inflicted during the
game, three of these being on Par
sons and one on the Augie war
riors. All of these were for he lg
offside, with the exception OF one
15-yard penalty on Parsons for the
using Of hands on offensive play.
Varied Attack.
Every form Of attack known in
football play was used by the Fair
field representatives, and all pro :
duced gratifying results to the Par
sons rooters. Coach Devine's men
used the aerial attack TO great ad-
vantage, completing pass after pass
for substantial gains. The open
field running and line plunging OF
the Parsons players was pleasing
to watch, even to few Augustana
team. The line Of the Fairfield
team was impregnable. Again and
again the Augustana runners would
hit the opposing lipe and equally
as many times would they find a
stone wall defense. The fact that
Augustana carried the pigskin for
first down but four times during
the melee, while the Parsons eleven

That seemed to be the turning
point for the Independents, and
even when Jimmy Councilman fail
ed to score an extra point by a
drop kick, hopes remained high,
The islanders apparently had the
situation solved and seemed good
for at least another spectacular
march. But that's where the
guessing went wrong. True, the
team did try desperately for the
winning marker and came within
Is yards of a second touchdown, in
the last five minutes, but the dash
that featured the touchdown was
gone The Bears took up where
they had left off in the first half,
and out-fghting, out-chargihg, saw
ed the day for Chicago.
Lauer and Wenig Star.
Dutch Laue-. Ohe Wenig, Jimmy
Councilman and Buck Gavin were
the outstanding lights in Rock Is
lands attack. Lauer's ground-gain-
ing was perhaps the best piece of
individual work of the game. Re-
peatedly he smashed the line for
substantial gains and showed his
versatility by completing numerous
passes from the expert hand Of
Councilman. Wenig entered the
game near the end of the second
quarter and shortly began to show
that his old cunning in completing
forward passes is still with him.
Between him and Lauer with Con-
zelman doing the throwing, life was
made miserable for the Bears
backfield the remainder. Of the
game. On one occasion ODE accept
ed long pass with two or three
hanging to him, bearing him to the
ground even before he had the ball
tucked safely in his big paws. This
was in the last quarter, and the
play put Rock Island within Ii
yards of a winning sa2re. Gavin
showed well by his line smashing
and Lauer, besides his line drives
made two exceedingly brilliant re-
turns from kickoff.

Playing -heads-up football from

the Independents most of the time,
the Chicago Bears, formerly Sta
leys. danced away with another of
those victories oyer the Rock Is
land Representatives yesterday aft
ernoon at Douglas park in a SEN
sational contest.
The score was 10 to 6, and the
Chicago aggregation owes its mar
gin of victory to the celebrated toe
OF Dutch Sternaman, and to the
f1eetness OF foot of Pete Stinch-
comb, whose reputation on the
gridiron extended from coast to
coast when he was making touch
downs for Ohio State university by
out-running the rest Of the field.
1t was Stinchcomb who really
gave the Bears their chance for
victory and it was Dutch Sterna-
man who bolstered up the count by
booting two goals from placement
one followed the touchdown and
| the second Undertaking. from the
30-yard line for three points.
Runs 81 Yards to Goal.
Stinchcomb tossed a monkey
wrench into the machinery by dash
ing 81 yards with less than 10 Sec
onds to play before the end Of the
first half for the touchdown that
meant defeat to Rock Island. That
scared jack rabbit description
stands. He didn't sidestep; he out
ran the field by following perfect

1t was a spectacular dash, and
coming as it did with only seconds
left to play, the spell of the ole

The Independents staged a brill
liant comeback in the third quarter
getting possession Of the ball soor
after the kickoff and marching Il
yards to a touchdown. This msrcl
of the islanders to overcome odds
brought out the best football shown
by them at any stage of the game
1t was an irresistible onslaught

They had expected 10 be punished for
their sins, bur il seemed to them that
their parents had overdone the punish

padded good. And, after Mikes parents
had inflicted what Mike considered ter
rifle torture his sister took him In hand
and gave him what, 10 her mind. was
exactly $32 worth of spanking. Mike, by
the way, is eleven years old and Nelson
is eight.
1t seems that Mike and Nelson ran
away from home Sunday morning for
no other reason than they wanted to see
Coney Island. They didn't know each
other until they got down there but
now they probably will be friends for
life. having ventured together Nelson
was sent by his mother to a bakery
way lie got 10 thinking about Coney
Island, which his small sister had seen
and which she never tired OF telling
about. So Nelson decidedsto take the
ten cents and see the sights. With this
end in view he rode on a Third avenue

then took the i. r., T. subway for the
rest OF the trip.

but in prowling about the Bowery he met
Mike and Mike seemed literally to be
made of money SO they became friends
and saw the sights together. They rode
all the rides. went into all the shows
and did everything but go bathing.
Bathing, they had always thought, was
such an awful waste of time and energy.
Anyway. they hated clean boys.
But Coney Island began 10 get dull
about midnight Sunday. The shows
closed, the rides stepped and the lights
began TO go odt. So the two boys de-
cided to go home They got on a sub
way train and presently found them
selves at the plaza in Long Island City.
They were strangers there in strange
land. so they dived into another subway
and brought up at the Grand Central.
That didn't look good. either. so they
went back to Long Island City. But
that was worse, the second time. so
back they came to the Grand Central.
On this trip they attracted the atten-
tion OF a platform guard. who turned
them over to Patrolman Dennis Murphy.
Fatrolmaa Murphy took them to the
East Ffty-frst street station, where
Mike was found to have $S in his
pockets and Nelson $3.50. Mike told
the police that he had found the money
on the beach but finally admitted that
1t belonged to his sister. Both boys
were fed and then turned over to their
parents.
