BAT Terry B And
MOLINE NUNS
SUNDAY GAME
Much Interest Stirred Up Al Tri
City Rivals Asroe T. Set
tie Title.

Unusual interest is manifested In
the coming tilt between the Moline
Indians and the Battery B elevens
for the semi-pro football champion
ship Of the Quad-cities at Douglas
park, Sunday, The fact that the
fans are assured Of seeing . typi-
cal inter-city struggle, with its saw
age fighting on the field and the in
tense rivalry among the fans on
the sidelines, is the reason for the
surprising amount Of enthusiasm
suddenly stirred up among quad
city grid bugs.
For two seasons the Shamrocks
were considered the cream of Dav-
export semi-pros. They had large
following. Since the Battery B boys
trimmed the Irish, the fans have
rallied to the soldier eleven. There
has been much sentiment for a
game with the Indians and, if Cos
sip is an indication, Davenporters
will journey to Douglas park with
plenty Of money to bet that their
prides give Freeborg's clan a trim
ming.
The fact that Walter Brindley
will be at quarterback for the In
dams holds no fear for the Iowans.
He looks no better to them than
Earl Fuller, who pilots the Sol
diers. Fuller is a former Moline
man. He had some experience at
Minnesota university and later was
a member of the st. Paul Ideal ag-
gregation.
Fuller, claim Davenporters, is a
dangerous triple-threat man. They
even place him on an even basis
with Brindley, who, by some Rock
Island Independent fans, was con-
sidered superior to Jimmy Conzel-
man at quarterback.
Dau, Iowa all-state tackle with
Davenport last season, plays a
tackle position for the Battery. Dau
is among the leading linemen de-
veloped at the institution over the
river. Schroeder, center, played
with Highland park college in Des
Moines. Smith, right end, received
his football education at Hannibal,
! Mo-, high school. Thomson, the
| 1SO-pound left halfbatk, played
with the strong Centerville, Iowa,
high school eleven. Mckenzie, the
other half, played with the Red and
Blue and with St. Ambrose college
last season. He is a little fellow,
weighing only 1856 pounds, but
claimed to make up in speed what
he lacks in avoirdupois. Bruhn, one
of the substitutes, earned his letter
Il at Lombard college The rest OF
the men played with Davenport
high school,
The Indians will probably have a
slight weight advantage over the
Battery boys, but the Davenporters
are touted as whirlwinds on end
runs and trick plays. The team is
well coached and has practiced
three nights every week during the
season.

(Copyr1Snt, ISzz. Dy Inc ArguS.)
New York, N. Y, Nov. 30.AThe
question rs to how much good the
college man who plays football
gets out OF the game as founda-
ton for his future career in the
business world is always keenly
debated toward the end Of a foot
ball season. It is perfectly true
that some few-but very few-col-
lege football stars have been badly
spoiled by the adulation heaped on
them by their admirers and by the
great amount of national publicity
given them. But these cases have
not been typical.
The writer is inclined to the be-
lief, after many years Of close OBJ
servance of the game and OF, the
young men who play it and have
played it in the past that the good
that comes from football training
far outbalances whatever might be
the bad features.
One great element Of success for
q football team lies in the ability
OF the players to assimilate the
football instinct and knowledge.
This leads to self-reliance and in
dependence Of thought in critical
and unexpected events. A team
must be trained to think Of football
situations with the same Quickness
and accuracy as are called for in
critical circumstances which result
in after life. Each player must be
taught to make his decision and
act in a critical moment without
hesitation even though he may new
er have been called to face that
special crisis before. Ability to
think and act cannot but be a tre-
mendous success in business.
The thought which occurred to
the writer, however, was not so
advanced in support Of the grid
iron game as the living proofs of
the good in it as demonstrated at
the recent dinner attended by the
II men who played through the
season Of 1892 under the banner
Of Yale. 1t was on the eve of the
Harvard-Yale game that these men
got together at the University club
here. Every man who played ON
that famous eleven which scored
A13 points in Is games without be-
ing scored on by it's opponents, in
GLIDING Harvard, Princeton and
Pennsylvania, was present. There
were representatives also of the
wonderful 1891 Yale machine that
rolled up 400 points and blanked

DOPE IS UPSET
WHEN ATKINSON
1 DEFEATS ORION

4 Atkinson, Nov. 3o.-The Atkinson
high school basketball team won a
thrilling contest from the strong
community high school quintet OF
Orion by 16 to 10 scose.
The game was fast throughout,
although it looked like an easy win
for Orion when the first quarter
ended 3 to in their favor. The
never-say-die spirit came back in
the second quarter and the locals
had the better of the battle from
then on. The victory was a sur
prise as Orion is rated very high
here, having defeated the strong
Cambridge team last year and still
have all their regulars this season.
The visitors acknowledged they
were outplayed and praised highly
the work OF the Atkinson five. S.
Mowers was the outstanding star
for Atkinson, making IA Of the to-
tai 16 points. R. Steiner and F.
Brooks showed up we'll in defen-
sive play and Macafee made great

CORNELL LOOKS
TO 1922 SEASON
Iowa College Eleven to Remain
Practically Intact for An.
other Year.

Mount Vernon. Iowa, Nov. 3d.
With the 1922 season a matter of
history. Cornell football fans are
looking forward to next year with
expectations Of an eleven that will
rank high among the college
teams of the state and the mid
west conference.
Coaches Finger and Barker have
developed a slashing offense. and
a strong forward wall which will
not be touched by graduation. All
the regulars but Lakey and Hudel-
son, ends, will leave the campus
next June. The other regulars,
subs, and a host of Freshman
Coach Lees products-will open
football practice early in the spring
and will probably renew the condi.
tioning process again next Septem-
Der at their camp at the Palisades
on-the-C Cedar.
The backfield, composed of Kir-
win, Sagle, Hartwell and Greene
remains intact and should provide
merry chase for all 1923 oppon.
ents If its behavior against Wes-
leyan. Lawrence, Grinnell, and Coe
indicates what it can do in another
year. Sagle and Kirwin will be
playing together for their fourth
year and should place high in state
and midwest ratings. Greene and
Hartwell, precocious sophomore
who dumped regulars out of theiI
inherited berths last September
should also carve permanent
niche in Royal Purple gridiron ira
dition during the coming campaign

New York, N. Y, Nov. 30.-Prince-
ton, in looking forward to her 1928
schedule, will seek to arrange at
least two hard games leading UP
to the Harvard and Yale contests.
Have you noticed" said Will
liam Roper, Princeton's coach. to-
day, that in recent years when
Princeton has been most success
full her seasons have been extreme
ly rigorous? The way to develop
an eleven is to put it through the
fire. In this way the men are
hardened and collective and indi-
vidual flaws are revealed. And I
cannot see that players suffer any
more, il as much, against strong
opposition as against sloppy, play
ing"
1t looks as though Princeton
would welcome Dartmouth for the
fourth game OF her season. But
while Dartmouth and Harvard have
not yet hooked up for a late Octo-
Der engagement, the chances are
favorable that they will. Or Cor
nell would be a valued opponent
for Princeton at this time. The
Ithacans, however, would probably
demand a home-and-home agree,
ment and there ARE other dificul-
ties in the way Of such an arrange.
ment. Other possibilities for the
Tigers fourth game are Penn State,
Notre Dame, Georgia Tech or some
strong eleven from another sec
ton. There is said to be a chance
that Center will come north to
play Princeton some Saturday next
fall this engagement taking the
place Of the annual trip Of the
Kentuckians to Cambridge.
Yale coaching this season was
adequate. The team had enough
plays and facility in launching
them to have beaten Harvard by
two touchdowns, according to a
Harvard man who has followed
football for the last 20 years.
What was lacking? Some say the
divine spark. Others. more prac-
tical, say that the Ellis fell down
simply because they had no out
standing star such as Owen Of Har-
ward, Smythe Of West Point, and
other gridiron geniuses who pos
sess the ability to swing contests
through their own efforts. Perhaps
SO. A coach can do much with an
eleven. but no mentor has the pow
er to teach q man to catch . punt
and wend his way through an en-
tire eleven or to teach him to gain
AFTER his Interference has disinte-
grated and he is his own. Ability
OF that sort is born in a boy. and

the Yellow Jackets win enjoy their
visit to our town as much as we
enjoyed our visit in Atlanta. We
found the Georgians clean and

an honor to meet, and their treat
ment Of us off the field was hospi-
tality ITSELF"
In making up an all-American
team this season the critic faces an
unprecedented array Of backfield
material. Seldom in the history of
the gridiron have there been so
many stellar backs whose prowess
clamored for recognition.
1t is pleasant to see the Virginia
military institute following North
Carolina from the southern sea-
board to the far south. The cadets
will play Georgia Tech at Atlanta
on Oct. next year and all the dope
is that they will present 1898
aggregation hardly, If any. below
the standard Of the great 1920 team.

Leading Chicago Professional Elev.
ems Were Scheduled for
Morning Game.

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Bears and
Cardinals were scheduled to clash
this morning at the White Sox park
for the Chicago postgraduate foot
ball title. The battle means much
to both elevens, because each has
won one in the past two years, and
the third clash has been a tie. Kick
off this morning was scheduled for
II o'clock.
If the field is at all fast the game
is almost certain to be an open
and an aerial one. Both teams spe-
cialize on this method of attack
and the fans will see some of the
speediest open field runners ever
developed in the west in action.
Pete Stinohcomb was picked by
Walter Camp while at Ohio State
largely because OF his dash and
his ability to gain through a bunch
Of tacklers. Paddy Driscoll OF
Northwestern and Mohardt of Notre
Dame are both superb carriers of
the ball. and Paddy is better today
than when he won fame at North
western.
Both Backfields Strong.
In the Mcmahon brothers Of
Harvard the Cardinals have Q full
back and a quarterback Of unusual
ability and drive. They have been
