ton, Davenport. tomorrow morn
ing At 10 o'clock for Clinton, where
they will battle the high school
team Of that city in game that Is
doped to be q hard fought encoun-
tt from start to fnish. The men

Haddick, Clark, N. Kone. Witt
field, Reid, G. Kone, Anderson. Vi
ner and Greer.
Along with the team will go
many high school students. Some
OF the fans will make the trip by
interurban with the players and
others will drive.
The Islanders will enter the
game in better physical condition
than they have been in for many
q game and there is no reason why
they can not play accordingly. Al
though Captain Hall will be on the
sidelines the rest of the bunch is
in almost perfect shape.
While the first team is mixing
with Clinton, the reserves will go
into initial action Of the season
against East Moline at that place.
The lightweights are all set for a
hard fight and their expectations
are not likely to be upset. The
East Moline team really made a
better showing against the first
team than the score indicated and
should have little trouble in defeat.
ing the second team.
The opening lineup at Clinton Is
a Just -before-game matter. 1t il
known that Coach Kimmel will mo-
work his men hard and will keeI
all Of his new plays in secret. Il
may even come to point where
victory may be sacrificed. but tht
paramount issue is to beat Moline
and let everything else be side
tracked in favor of this.
The Crimson staged one of thu
longest practices last evening tina
they have INDUCED in this year. AL
of the stunts on the program wer'
dished up. The penalty for missin.
a punt was "A session with thu
tackling dummy and a trip arount
the field at fast pace was tn
punishment for fumbling a pass.
Some of the new formations wer
gone through and by the time O
the Moline encounter these shout
be mastered so that they can b
pulled with clock-like precision.
All Of the Islanders are eligibl
for the Moline tussle and this zoe
Na long way in bolstering up tn
spirit Of the team Also it i
/thought that all of the serious in
juries of the year have been ha
and the rest of the season will b
free from hurts.
Anderson broke all his record
for punts yesterday when he boot
ed the pigskin for more yardag
than he ever has. Toad" is de
velOping into very dependabl
punter and in addition his passinf
drop kicking and his ability to ad
vance the ball have made him tn
triple threat" of the squad. A
though Anderson will do the pun,
ing, Reid and Whitfield also Civ
the ball nice ride every time the
do the kicking. Whitfield perform
ed most Of last evening at hall
back. Reid playing at the pilot pos
1t may be that this is the best CON
bination.
Houston will probably do tn
kicking off in the future. Inc
dentally Houston is playing bes
game of his career at end and !
one Of the most feared men in tn
Rock Island line.
Moline tackles Canton tomorro,
on the Swede field. Moline is con
fident that it will continue its hig
scoring tactics. Moline wants t
end up the season as point a mir
ute aggregation and so far hav
more than made that mark. 1t i
hoped that next week the Moliner
will be considerably off color.
Davenport and Iowa City hig
school are slated to mingle tomor
row in game that should civ
even more dope on the strength @
the Davenporters. Iowa City i
known to be strong and a fin
game Is expected. Davenport vii
enter the game in much bette
shape than they were In las
week.
