for the last two years. will be the
greatest menace to the Rock Island
football squad when the aggrega-
ton from the Moline school and
the islander cripples meet in their
annual tussle next Saturday aft.
ernoon, at Douglas park.
In Schmidt Moline has an athlete
who shines in all branches Of sport,
es the Moline captain has been all
tournament guard for the last two
years and is . sure point winner
when performing on . track field.
II Schmidt shines at any one
branch more than another it Is foot
ball. His great speed, strength.
punting and passing ability make
him a very dangerous man on the
offense and when the other team Is
in possession of the ball, Marvin is
a demon on breaking up interior
ference, tackling, breaking up
passes and running back punts. 1t
has been said that a man without
interference never gets by him and
that when the ball carrier has help
he has no more than an even chance
to get by the Swede leader.
Probably the outstanding feature
of the Rock Island team will be
Captain Hall. In the giant Islander
leader there is a tackle who can
hold his own. against any other
player a high school team can put
forth. Hall has been out of the
last two games on account of an in
/ jury to his neck, but he is now In
good condition and could have play
ed against Clinton last Saturday it
the Islander coach would have al
lowed him.
| Hall takes the game seriously
and a win over the MOliners is one
of the main thoughts in his mind
nowadays.
Cripples Improving.
The Rock Island casualty list is
improving slowly but surely. All
of the men, with the possible ex-
ception of Alvine, are likely to be
IN fair shape for the Swede con-
HlSLs but DCSoASC vi lllC hAOSho thCy
have received all through the year
the team will be far from the con-
dition attained by the Moliners
who have come through the early
part of their schedule with. only &C.
casional bruises.
Alvine is reported to be about
the same; that is, if complications
d. cox ~, :, n will not c,,feor
his injury but if he becomes worse
he will be out of the coming game
for sure. If Alvine is out of the
game it will make the third tackle
put out of commission during the
season. Can any one dispute tha
? Rock Island has had hard luck.
Practice sessions have resolved
| themselves into a business PROPOSE
, tion for the Crimson men. The grin
reality that they will face one o.
the best football machines in the
middle west has made the Island
. ers practice as they never have
before and if they are defeated il
will be a team that has trained
faithfully that goes down.
Every man, you can be assured
will fight as never before for the
Crimson and Gold when the cham
pionship affair is called. The "Bea
Moline" slogan has changed thu
. fighting spirit to a superbattl,
spirit and this has been absorbed
into the souls of all of the boys.
Beat Moline Saturday" tag
were distributed at the school thi
morning and the student body will
advertise the rest of the week wha
they want to do to Moline.
Moline, too, has settled down t.
a stiff grind and is training faith
!. fully even when they know the,
< are doped to win. This shoul,
5 make the Islanders train even NOR,
D than they have because their hes
9 will be needed on the last day o
this week.
