Kewanee, ILL.,. Oct. s.-If Coach
Senneff's huskies Of Moline engage
nothing more formidable than Ke-
vance in their dash for state cham
pionship honors, then they will at
tain the coveted title without a
struggle. That they will, 10 q mat
ter of fact, but it is hardly possible
that they. will encounter another
opponent during the present season
from whom they will win with sRch
seeming ease and grace as they
did from the orange and black
eleven Saturday. The score was 80
to 0, giving the Moliners a total Of
1875 points to their opponents 0 in
the two games this season as they
registered 90 points against Prince
ton week ago Saturday.
The lopsided count is a fair rep
resentation Of the brand of foot
ball seen on the Kewanee field Sat-
urday afternoon with nearly one
hundred Moline rooters urging the
maroon and white men on to VIC
tory. Lester Weinroot, the peppery
little cheer leader, was a power in
the ranks of the rooters' fraternity
for the visitors.
In word, Moline did all that was
expected Of it and not many Ke-
vance fans we're surprised by the
outcome. That the excessive
weight Of the Moliners, averaging
between 10 and Is points more to
the man, would be an important
factor in favor Of the visitors, was
certain. And SO 1t proved. The pow
erful attack of such sturdy backfield
men as Captain Schmidt, Toline
and Carlson was irresistible and
the diminutive quarterback, Simp-
son, completed a mighty classy
-Four of Kind" for any mans
team. AS for the other seven men,
they presented stone-wall defense
that was impenetrable, besides pre-
senting brand of speed and dash
that completely dazzled the home
team
Wagered on 30 Points.
Moline hackers, who are inclined
to lay little dough on their favor
ties, Showed tabout 500 bucks in
front OF the Kewanee fans, willing
to lay it that Moline would win by
at least SO points. There were no
takers, SO it was evident from the
start that Kewanee respected the
gigantic machine from the river
town. 80 u
With IA touchdowns, comprising
total of "a points, and nine addi-
tional points for goals from touch
downs, detailed story of the game
would be about as listless a yarn
as is conceivable. Toline penetrat-
ed the Kewanee goal for the first
time just three minutes after the
opening of the game when the ball
was advanced to the five-yard line
on straight football and showed over
on line bucks. Thereafter, Toline's
huge form was frequently seer
playing through the light Kswanes
line for consistent gains.
Confronted with tremendous
odds, the kewaneeans gave a very
favorable account of themselve:
and reflected credit upon the fine
work of Coach Wykoff, of Iowa
who is striving hard to give to Re
vance sue ha team as. it had il
1908 when it was serious con
tender for first honors in the state
won that year by East Aurora. A
no time during the game did The
kewanee coach make a change il
the lineup, keeping the same clever
men in the game throughout The
four periods. They assumed a de
fensive attitude from beginning II
end, their principal idea being tt
hold the score down, rather than tt
pile it up.
With the Moline huskies co1ftinu
; ing to put up the brand of football
that they showed the Kewanee fan.
Saturday. there is little doubt bu
they will come up to the Thanks
giving date with as creditable ;
record as any high school team il
the state.
