BY NAT GEIsNAR.

Due TO . last minute change Of
plans, the Rock Island football!
team Win 30 into action against
the strong Colchester high aggre-
cation tomorrow instead Of Satur-
day. The Colchester team is doped
% one Of the strongest in that Sec
tion OF the state and the Islanders
wilt have to work in order to come
ont on top.
II Il planned that the Rock Is
land squad will see Knox and Wes-
leyan battle at Galesburg on Sat
urday. coming into the Siwash
town Friday evening. Knox and
Wesleyan are two of the strongest
teams in the state and the game
will be an affair worth seeing.
The Islanders will go into battle
without the services of George
Kone, who has played his last game
in a Rock Island uniform. George
reached his 21st birthday the other
day and that makes him ineligible
for further competition In Illinois.
His loss leaves the team with but
one substitute. Ramser. With only
one reserve the team is weak in
the backfeld and it may be neces-
sayy to put Houston at halfback, d
place he is to fill next year. Ram
ser Is also reserve end. If an end
is injured and it is necessary to re-
move a backfield man, the team will
be out of luck.
The Islander crew will play the
same sort of game as displayed
against Burlington, Davenport ant
Sterling-an open attack that is
supposed will upset the enemy. L
it works with the success it die
against Burlington, the Islander;
will have no trouble in crossing
the Colchester goal line.
II the high scores run up by the
miners in previous games NEAR
anything, the small towners have
an offense Of their own that is no
to be sneezed at. The locals have
had one experience with a team
with great scoring combination
and this game will be a test for tn,
Crimson and Gold defense.
The burly miners will probabl,
smash away at the Rock Island lin
in an attempt to find it's weakes
point. OF course, they may show
large assortment Of trick plays an,
wide end runs, but it seems prob
able that they will hit the line q
all times.
A few new trick attempts hav
been added to the Island catalogu
this week and the team ha
brushed up on the old ones in orde
to have them perfect Friday.
The Colchester authorities hav
allowed transportation expense
for only Is men, which is not
great number for a team that ha
used II and Is men in one gam,
The locals are now in good cond
ton and unless something happen
Is men should suffice.
The following men will make th
trip: Captain Hall, n. Kone, Co
lier. Houston, Alvine, Mayer, Asl
Clark. Chambers, Reid, Anderson
Whitfield, Viner, Ramser and eithe
Cr0mpton, Haddick or Ekholm.
Moline and Davenport Nest.
Moline and Davenport squad
are resting this Saturday SO th'
they will be in the prime for the
Thanksgiving tilt. Local fans al
waiting for this game with int
est. Many are looking for the me
from across the river to upset Il
dope again.
Although Moline has q wonderf
team there are many who thin
that Davenport has a good chan
to be the victor in the champiol
ship struggle. The Iowans have a
ways been the jinx for the Plov
men. and when pitted against Il
Norsemen, they have alwa,
fought like tigers.
