On DAVENPORT
5se II


Battling before q tumultuous
crowd Of 5000 fans. the Moline
High school football steam roller
moved down the willing but light
~ Davenport high machine by q
oe0re Of - to yesterday after
lloon. Browning field was jammed
% the hilt with eager partisans
when the teams lined up for the
bIg game of the season.
The score does not nearly indi-
cate the superiority Of Senneff's
charges over the Hawkeye invad-
1rs. Moline backed Davenport
against the wall shortly after Ref
cree Willard piped the overture on
IDS nickel-plated whistle. And Mo-
line kept Davenport there during
the entire combat. Not once did
the Iowans threaten Seldom were
they beyond the 50-yard line. Most
OF the time they were within the
shadow of their own goal posts.
Even though Moline was SO de-
cidedly the peer OF its foe, the con-
test was all that an inter-city con-
fict can be. The Iowans display
ed a world of fight and a highly
commendable spirit. Not once did
they show signs OF the dishearten-
ing fight they were waging in the
third and fourth periods. Not once
did they finch. Even though the
Hawkeyes we're baffled at almost
every turn, hurled back with sur
prising vigor, alertness and physi-
CAl determination, they waged a
worthy battle. There was no dis
grace in their defeat They fought
like true soldiers.
Score Comes Early.
The Maroon and White crossed
the Davenport goal line after about
four minutes Of play had elapsed
A poor punt by Camp, a beautiful

White of another marker in the
opening period. Toline scooted of
tackle behind perfect interference
from the 17-yard line over the goal

the play. A 20 and is yard gail
by Toline featured this period.
Moline was penalized when fiv'
strides from goal at the opening o
the second period. A few moment
later Captain Schmidt skirted RICH

goal line missed the clutches 0
Simpson and Carlson by hair
breadths. Incidents like these pre-
vented Moline from crossing Day
exports goal line in the secon
quarter.
Davenport steamed forth wit
surplus power at the opening {
the second half. Three times Nc
lines backs were thrown fo
losses. Once Yeager reached til
line Of scrimmage, but stoppe
there. But Davenport's encourag,
ment was short-lived. ,Quarterbac
Camp saw fit to attempt forwar
pass within the shadow of his ow
goal posts, questionable chant
to take, especially with the coul
