Molfners Are Sent Home by Henry
County Lads on Short End of
81 TO 10 Score.

The Moline high school basket
ball team was handed a bitter sur
prise at Cambridge last night in
the form of 81 to 10 defeat by the
Henry county lads. Now, Moline
you know, journey to Cambridge
running over with confidence. Had
not Rock Island upset the Cam
bridge team last week and had not
Moline trimmed the Islanders this
season Therefore the the tribe of
Senneff felt the clash would be in
the nature OF good workout.
All of which would indicate Rock
Island can't afford to be too cocky
tonight when the locals battle the
Cambridge boys for the second time
this season. The game is to be
played in the Rock Island Y. NJ. C.

SIGN JOHNNY GRIFFITHS, AKRON,
TO MEET MORRTE SCHLAIFER. OF
OMAHA ON MARCH 3 FISTIC CARD

I called it draw, although admir-
ers of Murphy claimed victory for
him while it was vice versa for
Schlaifer.
To quote Griswold: $50 far as
the Schlaifer-Murphy joust was
concerned, it was a regular old he
Cataclysm, and when the gong call
! ed for a cessation of the sayagery
at the end of the last round, the
! two men kept going, ripping and
! tearing and slashing away like a
couple of wildcats. until each was
within the grasp of seconds and
referee. who had pob holding
them even then.
When they did conclude that it
was really time to cease. they
quickly gathered themselves to-
gether. and in a spirit OF real
craftsmanship, grabbed each other
in a clasp Of undoubted friendship.
So much for the elevation of the
boxing game.
Fans Differ.
But the fight. If you should ask
every man who is a friend of Nor
RE Schlaifer who won, he will say
that Schlaifer won, and if you ask
every Murphy man what he thought,
he'll tell you that Murphy won
The referee, however, represent
ing both sides, said it was draw,
and that was what it was despite
the personal opinion OF the ring
siders. and they were about as
equally divided as such huge as
semblage could we'll be.
LAS savage as the affair was from
the hop-off to the wild and weird
close, as many hammering blows as
were exchanged, and as much pun
ishment as each took, there were
no knockdowns or any blood, and
yet it was a cruel collision"
This is only further evidence of
Schlaifer's fighting ability. He
showed tri-city fans plenty of it
when he met Welch here, but WEIGH
was really no match for his vic
ious blows. Grifhths should stand
the gaff much better and there are
many who think he will lace the

DAVENPORT HAS
CLEAR HOLD ON
TRI-CITY TITLE

Ri ART WILLIAMS.

Rock Island high school received
one OF the worst trouncings OF the
season from Davenport last night.
The score was "a to IL. The game
was played in the ]. b. Young gym
nasium IN Davenport.
From the first note OF the starting
whistle, the Islanders were out
classed by the husky Red and Blue
lighters. At no time did the Is
landers show any sgns OF evening
the count
The usual pep and fight of the
locals seemed missing last night
After a substantial lead was gain
ed by the Iowans they had every
thing their own way. The lanky
Davenporters worked machine-like
and easily kept the ball in their
possession. Three field goals were
the main counters for the Islanders
and five free throws gave them the
remainder of their score. The field
goals were made by Edwards.
Woodward and Writ.
The Red and Blue lads have a
powerful machine and are fully
justified in winning the trl-clty
honors this year. With their 10 lg
arms and sturdy build they have
fine team work. Krasuski and
Jebens shared honors in piling Up
the field goals. Each one had six
to his credit. Another outstanding
player on the Iowa team was True,
who did spectacular work at de-
Tense.

AUCIE QUINTET
AND ARMOUR To
CLASH TONIGHT
Swedberg is Anticipating Strong
Opposition Prom the Chicago
Cagers.
RY KENNETH CONREY.

The first of five games which
Augustana college basketball quin-
tet will play in the next eight days
will be played tonight ON the
Augie gym with Armour Tech OF
J Chicago furnishing the opposition.
The academy five will play cur
tain raiser against church team
OF New Era, Iowa, starting at 1880.
The varsity tilt will be called
about 8:45.
Coach Schooner. mentor at the
Chicago institution, has developed
fast working five this year that is
determined to sweep Swedberg's
proteges off their feet Three men
are back from last year, around
whom the Chicago coach has devel-
oped its team Schumacher, play
ing his third year for Armour, is at
his old position at left forward.
This shifty players was one of the
keenest basketball players seen on
the Rock Island floor last year, and
reports are to the effect that he is
going better than ever the present
season. Witashas is again cover
ing the other forward position, and
Ritishauser is holding down the
ers are all experienced men, and
have the advantage of having
played together for two years The
Schumacher Witashas combination
is especially effective, these two
men being Armour's mainstays on
the offense. Armour, like the ma
jority of teams which the Lutherans
have met this year, is playing the
five-man defense and four-man Of
Tense style of basketball and have
perfected it to an art. The
strength of the Chicago quintet can
be somewhat surmised in the fact
that both Chicago university and
Notre Dame defeated Armour by
narrow margin, Armour coping
the lead at one time during its
tussle with Notre Dame. Valparaiso
underwent drubbing at the hands
of Armour, anu other teams of SIM
liar calfbre have gone down in de-
feat by the Armour aggregation.
Last year Augustana broke even
in its contests with Armour, win
ming the initial fracas on the home
floor, AZ to 16, and losing to the Chi
cago team SO to 81 in the return
game.
Get Hard Drills.
Coach Swedberg has been putting
his squad through some long work
outs during the past week in an eff
fort to locate the cause of the poor
showing made by his team at Eu-
reka and Bradley last week. In
ability to locate the basket appar-
emily was their greatest drawback.
and SO much time has been spent in
shooting at the hoop from all angles.
The Augie fives have been showing
exceptionally good work in their
daily practices, and Art expects that
they will hit their stride against the
Armour quintet tonight
The Augie coach has not given
his definite lineup for tonight but
Andreen is sure TO be covering the
pivot position at the first whistle
and Captain Swanson will start at
left forward. Rosenkranz, Lundeen
or Aronson will work with Swanson
at right forward, and o. Johnson
and Rydholm are the probable
guards.

night. The locals clearly Outclass-
ed their opponents in every depart

boys did not have a chance after
the first quarter The teamwork
the locals had was easily the feat
ure of the contest. Lindquist, Gregg
and Herbert comprised the offense
of the winners, which swept Atk1n-
son completely of its feet Greene
and Ross played excellent games
at guards, holding their opponents
to eight baskets. The Atkinson

BY FAIR PLAY

Copyright. 1922, by The Argus !.
New York, Feb. 11.-Benny
Leonard has almost as few real on
ponents left in the lightweight class
as Jack Dempsy has among the
heavies. The lightweight cham
pion's eyes are already looking to-
ward the welter title and it is pos
sible that his next important bat
tie will be with Jack Britton. To
be important, his next battle lust
sabout has to be with Britton. By
defeating Rocky Kansas decisiveIy
last night, Benny has fought him
self out of lightweights who can
really give him an argument.
Who are left? Well, Charley
White, for one. Charley is not 20
good as he was once and he never
was of real championship class
Kansas took the wind out of TnG-
ler's sails in the championship last
fall. He performed a similar elimi-
nation for Willie Jackson. Tend
Ter, however, served to show that
Sailor Friedman has the wrong
head size for a lightweight crown.
Joe Benjamin is far from ripe. Joe
yelling is outclassed by Leonard
and Johnny Dundee is looking
down in the weights, not up. The
junior lightweight champion is all
set to make Johnny Kilbane race
him for the featherweight title. He
says he will claim Johns title and
defend it unless Kilbane meets him.
A battle with BrittOn is logical
enough to draw the gate receipts
and that's what Leonard is after.
Kansas Outclassed.
Leonard opened up the same pace
il his battle with Kansas E-3t night
and showed the fans q most super
ior line of goods. He spread OFT
everything a champion ought to
have except knockout The title
holder was at the real lightweight
limit and there was no indication
that taking off weight had weak
ened him or slowed him. He had
speed, marvellous footWork and the
punch. His judgment Of distance
was seldom at fault, his blocking
was almost perfect and he had con-
mand of the situation from the first
gong to the last
Leonard's left hand was as good
O. defense as a suit of armoF. Every
time Rocky set himself for a punch
that left snapped his head back and
killed the effectiveness of his blow
before it started.
Rocky Down 0nca
The one thing that Leonard did
not show was any enthusiastic de-
sire to stow Rocky away. In the
boxer clearly for a count of seven
boxer clearly 70 "a count Of seven
with a vicious left hook to the jaw
Kansas rose dazed and punch
drunk but Benny made little effort
to finish him off and the rugged
Italian soon recovered.
