Plajinf; a K rill la lit Game, Which la ItneMed by a Crowd of Four Thousand People Great Thanksgiving Grldiron Event. Fully 4.000 people gathered at the Rock Island baseball park yesterday afternoon to witness a contest for supremacy on the gridiron between elevens representing the universities of Illinois and Iowa. While it was a one-sided game throughout, the ad mirers of the vanquished took their niediciDe bravely and smiled at the class yells and shouts that issued from the throats of the- thousands who rooted for the victors. Tri-city so ciety turned out in force, the "navy blue and orange of Illinois and the old gold of Iowa standing out con spicuously in every section of the im mense audience. Iowa was decidedly in the majority. The rooters brought big and little" horns, cowbells and two 1 5-yard runs and many shorter ones. Iowa Wins Tom. Williams1 work at quarter and his generalship of the Iowa team are worthy of note. The details: Capt. McLane won the toss and chose the north goal. Warner kicked to Illi nois1 25-yard line and Wadsworth was downed in his tracks: Oh the first down Johnson punted 25 yards, Williams returning the ball 10 yards. Gritlith and Warner alternated in hammering Illinois1 line for gains of from three to eight yards, then El son, behind nice interference, crossed the goal line for the first touchdown after seven minutes of play- War ner missed goal. Williams returned the ball 15 yards on the next kickoff of 40 yards. Warner, followed by Eby, hit the line for gains of three aud five yards, when Edson again skirted the end for a ran of 55 yards and a touchdown. Only four plays were needed and only four minutes needed in which to execute them for this second touchdown. Warner kicked an easy goal. Score, Iowa 11, Illinois 0. On the next kickolT the ball was re turned by Williams to the center of the field. " Grillith. Morton and War ner by line bucks failed to gain the necessary five yards and Warner punted 15 yards, Wadsworth return ing it three." Illinois immediately re turned the punt the ball going about WILL BE OF! GROUND, Rock Island to Have Representa tive at Omaha Baseball Meeting. CITY CAN HAVE A FRANCHISE. A Circuit of First Class Towns Picked for the Proposed League Which it la Planned to Launch Next Monday T. J. Hlckey the Bead of the Movement to Organic, for Next Season. The baseball meeting called by T. J. Hickey, of St. Joseph, Mo., for" the purpose of organizing a league, is to be held at Omaha next Monday, and the prospects are that Rock Island will be represented. The franchises, it is not improbable, will be placed as fol lows: Rock Island. Peoria, Des Moines, Omaha, Sioux City, Topeka, St. Jo seph and Leavenworth. Rock Island is weary of cheap Fourth of July leagues and does not intend to tie up with any more quitters. Substantial Itaseball Towns. There may be some rather long jumps in the foregoing circuit, but they are all susiantial baseball cities, and as a league, would doubtless lea success. pnrBTroTrBTroTTBTrBTr THE WINISliS G TEAM Ut TESI EKUAI'S t QUI BALL GAME.

The Iowa university band was stationed in the grandstand an 1 occasionally broke forth with a lively tune, alternating with the toots of a monster horn, on either side of which the members tof the band were seated. At the conclusion of the first half Harry Jackson, of Des Moines, a son of ex-Gov. Jackson, of Iowar. called to gether his clans, a merry crowd of Iowa students, and led them into the field, where a series of marches end ing with a cleverly done Cakewalk, were executed. A detail of the Rock Island police force was on the ground to keep the crowd from breaking onto thegridiror. Although very enthusiastic, the crowd, for one of its'si.e, was unusually well behaved. How Teams Sized Up. The teams as they lined upaveraged about the same, Io'wa's weight being 163, Illinois 165, though on the field Illinois app-ared fully 15 pounds heavier. Straight, hard - football was the game, neither team attempting tricks. Illinois placed too much faith in her defensive power, and after the first kickoff started the game with a punt, thereby . lessening the danger to her own goal and hoping to be able to hold Iowa for downs, but this esti mate of Iowa's prowess was not well placed, for the latter advanced con tinuously from the first touchdown in seven minutes of play. Seldom was Illinois able to make her five yards, and the third down usually brought forth a punt. Johnson's punts were never long, .averaging atout thirty vards. and Williams, for Iowa, handled them well, never fumbling and frequently returning them 15 or 20 yards. Illinois1 style of defense was not fitted to her material; to play a loose line, the men must charge, and charge low to fill the openings, but never did her linemen seem able to close them. Her tackles played up in the air and needed only to be pushed back for the necessary gain. Iowa's line played low and close and was well barked up never was Illinois able to make more than three or four yards throtrgh her line.

Guards back through the line aud around the end failed in three successive downs to gain their five yards, and the ball went to Illi nois. Johnson, by some, terrific plunges off tackles, gained seven yards. He was followed by Stabl and Hall for five and seven more, but here the procession stopped, Iowa holding guards back by plunges a delayed pass on end run by EJson netted 35 vards, and Brockway was pushed over for a touchdown. W'arner kicked goal. A succession of guards1 back plays and end runs resulted in a touchdown by Morton. Warner kicked a diflicult goal. Kdson's Great Ran. On the next kickolT Baker made a beautiful catch. It needed but two line bucks, then the great 85-yard run by Edson, but Iowa bad used bands in pushing oil tackles, and the ball changed hands on the foul on Iowa's 30-yard line. Two bucks through the center by Johnson netted 10 yards, when a fumble lost the ball. The first half ended with the ball on Illi nois1 40-yard line in Iowa's posses sion. In the second half Little replaced Brockway at guard. He proved a splendid ground gainer. Touch downs came in rapidly this half. Both side9 were penalized many times for using their hands. Iowa's delayed pass and fake at center proved a win ner, yielding many yards. Warner's try at goal Irom place kick from the 4S-yard line struck the cross bar be tween the goal posts. On returning the ball Stahl ran 20 yards, but from there Illinois could not -gain, and Lundgren punted. Gritlith catching the ball and running 35yards through a broken field for a touchdown.
