PUBLIC VERSED
IN GRID RULES
Incident in Yale. Bates Game
Shows Keen Interest of the
Spectators.
BY WALTER CAMP.

The big colleges will have to
bear in mind that the public with
a capital P is no longer ignorant of
the football rules. A typical illus
tration of this fact was forced
upon my attention in the Yale
Bates game. Johnny Mack, the
Yale trainer. seeing that one of the
Yale players was limping, ran out
onto the fed to look over the
man and see if he was fit to con-
tinue in the game. AS he did so a
spectator back of me, certainly
not college man, said to his COM
panion: IF that was in big
game, Yale would be penalized. She
ought to be now but these big .fel-
labs thinks they can get away with
murder against the little 'fellahs.' "
Saturdays games showed that
Yale<has a wealth of fine material
and that Penn State, despite the
loss of stars. is going to develop
a fast and resourceful team. Wash
ington and Jefferson looked slow
er and more ponderous than last
year. She evidently missed the
driving power of Russell Stein in
the line. Syracuse is loose and un-
knit as yet but she has potential
power beyond doubt. Carnegie
Tech evidently will put up a fine
brand of scientific football this sea-

AUcUSTANATO
OPEN AGAINST
CAIRO SCHOOL
Davenport and Rock Island Team,
to Clash Here on Friday
Afternoon.

The lid of the 1922 football seas
on at Augustana college will be
lifted next Saturday afternoon
when Coach Swedberg's green but
willing and Woodworking bunch
of football recruits mix with the
Palmer School of Chiropractic
eleven at Ericsson field.
Inasmuch as it will be the first
game of the season for both eley-
ems. there is little dope to be had
in picking winner Both teams
have been practicing faithfully ey.
cry afternoon and are determined
to snatch the victory. The chiros
walked away with the Davenport
high school team in practice
game Saturday morning. but little
information can be obtained as to
the backpunchers' strength from
that contest, as they outweighed
their younger opponents Is to 20
pounds to the man. II is certain.
however, that they will be repre-
scented with a very formidable ar
gregation. They have a wealth Of
material at the school from which
to pick their eleven, and the ma
jority Of these players have had
considerable football experience.
They want Augie's scalp, and the
Swedes are going to have to show
some real football if they want to
prevent such an occurrence.
Out of what seemed a homeless
bunch of raw recruits at the first
of the season. Swedberg has de-
veloped an aggregation which he is
confident will make a creditable
showing. Although no member Of
the squad is especially gifted with
speed and their appears to be no in
dividual stars, the first string line
up in practice is well-balanced
eleven, and what is all the more
gratifying, the second string bunch
could be injected into the fray with
out any great material loss Of
strength. This years squSl is one
of the Understanding that Swed-
berg has had and there will be a
fight for positions throughout the
season.

RINCK LEAVES
LOCAL SCHOOL,;
LOSS IS keen

BIZ NAT GEISMAR

Gloom, thicker than q London
fog, settled. over the Rock Island
high school football camp late yes
terday when it was learned that
Marvellous Rinck, star fullback On
the Islander eleven who, was last
year placed on the all-tri-city myth
ical team by all critics, was leaving
the local school to attend. Lake
Forest academy.
Just how much the loss of Rinck
will effect the team will depend on
how we'll a substitute can be de-
veloped to fill his shoes. There is
no doubt that Rinck is valuable
man and if no one can be found to
take his place the Islanders will be
all out of luck.
Who will take Rinck's place is not
yet settled, but it is thought that
either Reid or Viner will be shifted
back to fullback. Reid played al
this position the last half of Sat
urday's game but he is not line

has not had the experience of Reid
With March still in the hospital
and Mayer and Alvine also on the
injured list, the Rock Island line
is far from in condition. Mayer can
not be counted on to get into the
Macomb game next Saturday and
Alvine is still handicapped by his
hip injury to such an extent that he
may not play the whole Macomt
game from his tackle position.
MacOmb Strong.
And if reports concerning thf
strength Of the Macomb team are
true, the Islanders need all theil
men in the game if they expect tt
turn back the invaders at the small
end of the score. MacoEb is nevel
weak on the gridiron and its ag
gregation is expected to give tht
locals a battle royal.
The loss OF March will be greater
than in the next game as the stal
tackle has an injured paw that will
take some weeks to heal. The in
jury to his hand, the exact natur;
of which has not yet been found
became infected and is SO Sc
rious that it was necessary to re
move him to the hospital. His arm
swelled to the shoulder and had t.

Chief among the showings mad
in the East Moline game was tn
playing of Ekholm, substitute line
man Of the Crimson and Gold, Kon
of the local backfield, who bot
! staged field day at the expense o
the East Moline boys. Kone circle
the ends for lone gains, two o
which resulted in touchdowns, an,
generally performed in a name
that was dangerous to the visitor;
Ekholm showed a lot of fight an
by his showing deserves a chanc
in the big games.
Although the Islanders Ripe

last half for long gains, the tear
did not work together with tn
proper coordination and needs a lie
of practice and coaching before the
can become team of merit. TIL
Islanders have lot of materia
this year and there is no reaso
why they cannot put a real team O

Pipp's Slight Improvement At

Chances II the Worlds Series

The bat vas his but he failed to
arouse enthusiasm by mis- method
OF handling 1t. Had he WELDED q
Ehillelah no better at a Sunday pic
mic he would have been voted out
of the lodge.
Pipps batting percentage in 1921
for the World series games was
.154. That is childish Tor a first
baseman. In % times at bat lie
made four hits. A good choir boy
could have done that well. Wheh
at bat he acted as ii the importance
of the event in which he was par
ticipating had drowned his ego IN a
flood of may the good Lord help
me-.
Kelly did not bat much better I'M
til after the series was nearly over.
The Rng-legged Californian, built
like a skyscraper from his feet to
his hips, spanked the air with his
bat most vlciously but he overlook
ed spanking the ball. For the first
three games he did not make a nit.
In the fourth in his last time at bat
he hit for two bases and that broke
the ice for him. He finished with a
batting percentage of .233 and ne
made seven hits in 80 times at bat.
Not much of a record.
He may do better this year than
he did last but there is more likeli-
hood that Pipp will do better this
year than that Kelly will do better,
Kelly is in the same groove that
he worked in last season. He is
like a leather belt revolving over a
pulley. He will keep on going and
going one day like another and each
day doing his best and never strik-
ing a spectacular note unless he is
given an opportunity to throw-an
opportunity such as came to him in
1921-because he can throw further
than any first baseman in baseball
and with such accuracy that a RI
f1eman would find it hard to beat
him in a rough and ready perform.
ance
! II Pipp is as much better in the
world series as he has been in the
regular season then the Yanks are
10 points better at first base thar
they were in 1921, 10 points out OF
a possible 100, and it is eviden,
that an increase in ability like
that means something. If Pipp re-
lapses into a cOmatOse condition
when the series begins it will BIZ

en- technically as well as actually
by the fighting Senegalese. His
manager, Francois Descamps, kept

that he had guessed that the de-
cision was against him by the man

He says that he does not want

want to hear anyone mention the
fight with Sikh. All he wants, he
says, is to get well enough to go
down to Biarritz to be with his
wife and little daughter Jacfuelin.
Sikh is so popular that when he

MRS. FEIfNER J.
| APPEARS AGAIN
AS GOLF STAR
Her Defeat Of Miss
Hollins Elicits
Surprise.
RI H. B. MARTIN.

WOpyrtght, 1877, Oy The Argus
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
Sept. 27.-It was like old times to
see two such well known golfers
as Mrs. Quentin Feitner and Miss
Marion H64ins fighting out a
match in national golf champion
ship. One does not have to go
very far back to remember when
Mrs. Feitner, who was Miss Lii
fan Hyde, going into a woman's
championship as a strong favorite
but somehow always. failing to
make the grade.
Six times she won the Metropoli-
tan title and five times she annex
ed the Palm Beach championship
but it always was her luck to fail
in this event. Yesterday she
showed signs of returning to her
old form. Her victory was clean
cut and decisive, but, in justice to
Miss Hollins, it can be said that
she.has had little or no golf this
summer. Her game was erratic
and she left many openings which
were duly and promptly taken ad-
vantage of. Favorites were still
intact as play began today with
Che exception of the champion.
+ OF the 16 survivors eleven Of
them are married and five are
single. When play began Tuesday
the field was evenly divided, but
after the smoke of the days bat
tie had cleared away the married
women had the better of it. How
ever, when all of the returns are
in Saturday night the wiseacres
predict that the youngsters will
come into their own again and that
Miss Glenna Collett and Miss
Alexa Stirling will be seen in the
finals.
Course Is Dry.
The course here is dry and the
ball obtains a long roll. This suits
many of the short drivers on the
order of Mrs. Gavin whose deadly
short game may carry her long
ways toward the championship.
This also can be said of Mrs. Dor
othy C. Hurd, who chips to the
cup probably as we'll if not better
than any other player in the tour
nament.
Mrs. Feitner will do we'll to make
certain Of her approaches today
as she comes face to face with
Mrs. Hurd. Mrs. Gavin figures to
| outplay Miss Hadfield but she
| will only be jumping out of the fry
ing pan into the fire as she will run
into little Miss Stirling. = 1t is true
she defeated her in the recent Can
, adian championship but experts are
not prepared to admit she can al
so turn the trick here. The last
two holes on the Green Brier
course have caused a lot of trouble
among the fair contenders. The
18th saw many wrecks in the quail
flying round. but qualifying rounds
are past history after the first
match has been played.
None of the big stars has beer
left behind. Miss Cecil Leitch, the
former champion of Great Britain
who has her arm in a sling, is one
of the interested spectators, she
and her sister Edith, who failed
to qualify, having joined the gal
lery.
