Burlington. Iowa, Nov. z0.-Dis-
playing the best ofYense Of the sea-
~ b. combining trick plays, wide
and Rms and line sulashss, the
Rock Island high school eleven
easily defeated Darlington high here
Saturday afternoon. 40 to 0. The
Islanders would have run up .
higher score but for the fact the
game was played in 10-minute
quarters In order to allow the Wis
ttOrs to catch an early train.
The victory was dearly bought,
~ Raymond Greer, stellar quar-
ter. was lost to the team because
Of > broken right leg received ear
" in the first quarter. The leg
was broken above the ankle.
Rock Island failed to make ma
terial gains through the line and
carly in the encounter centered
their attack on the ends. The in
reference was far superior to any
displayed by the Crimson team yet
this season and the long end runs
made by the Islanders can be at
tributed partly to the efficient help
Of the interference.
While the visitors romped up and
down the field the home team tried
in vain to pierce the Rock Island
line. Great defensive work by
Captain Hall, Alvine and Norman
Krone broke up many plays on
the scrimmage line and saved the
backfield . great deal Of work on
defense. On offense these three and
Collier opened wide holes that gave
the backfield men opportunity to
get into the open.
The game was one Of the easiest
ON the schedule for the Islanders.
No trouble was encountered in the
battle except for Greer's injury,
and the whole show failed to tire
Q man.
