Rochester Jeffs left Davenport
last night for Racine, Wis, where
they are slated to play next Sun
day, a badly disillusioned football
team. On a Undiscovered field and
in driving rain yesterday the
fasteners were. completely out
classed in every department of the
gridiron sport by the Rock Island
representatives, who won decisive
ly. rs to o.
In spite of a water-saturated
ball. which caused numerous fun
bles, and the condition of the play
ing surface. the contest early re-
solved itself into a succession of
marches I'M and down the pridiron
hv the Islandors and the net re-
sui, was four touchdownsN clean
cut, well-earned, unquestioned.
Jimmy Councilman and Buck Cav
in shared the scoring honors both
crossing the Jeffs' goal line twice.
while Jerry John brought the total
count to Is by two well-directed
place kicks for points after touch
downs. Making these scores pos
sible was the praiseworthy exhibi-
ton of eyery member of the squad.
All nlayed the game for eyery-
thing that was in il from the first
whistle to the last. and the unison
of the attack was marred only by
occasional unavoidable fumbles and
two or three instances of confused
signals. The line performed with
unbeatable preciseness, not only
holding the visitors out of Rock Is
land territory on all but two occa.
sions, but also in ripping the Cd
posing forward wall to shreds and
making it possible for the Islander
backfield to crash through almos,
at will for long, short and medium
sized gains.
Touchdown DELAYED.
The Isla nders didn't get the range
until near the end of the second
quarter. Twice thew were STONED
