Football will run the risk of abolishment unless an alleged tendency to dirty playing, en couraged by certain coaches and un checked by officials, is eliminated. This is the belie! of Director George Hnff of Illinois.

However, there was a consider able number of bugs in this town and there w-as nothing to do but to play, especially as President Comiskey of the Sox came down from Chicago to witness the fray, and play they did in water and mud, accotunanied by a whistling wind from the north.

These world tourists are considerable attraction in this part of the country: The White Sox put tip an exhibition not entirely according to Hoyle. but there were plenty of alibis. Hal Chase was out of the game and Doc 'White subbed at first. That made some" dif ference. The grounds? accounted for the other.

Haiti checks were handed out at the gate and the crowd dispersed, ominous muttering? anC grumblings adding a regular "mob scene" effect to the scenario. The Isianders reached the field 15 minutes before the starting time, and immediately began to unlitnbcr. The Olympics were nowhere to be seen, and in fact, did not put in an appear ance on the field all afternoon. !. I fKKT.

As the li.l-.nder team filed ofT the field, the Moiine rooters issued a chorus of yells in which "yellow'' ami feet" predominated.

"I refer to unnecessary and unfair roughness. I don't criticise hard play ing, and football, as a matter of fact, is rough. But I have noticed a gradual introduction of the same tactics which nearly cost the colleges their favorite game. "Already this year I have seen 'neck wringing. I have seen players drag their feet over the head of an oppo nent. 'Piling up," even when easily seen to be unnecessary, goes unre buked. Every football players knows the difference between 'dirty' and hard football.

White, being unfamiliar (with the territory, made a couple of imiscues which helped some in swell ing "the score of the Giants. Faber, for the first time in bis league company, w-as too anxious to make a good impression and passed a couple of Giants at the wrong point, and this did not help the losers. Then, as luck, would have it, the errors came with the hits, hence the six tal lies credited to the winners. Russell started to pitch for the Sox, but Callahan took a chance on Faber i in the fourth and that youngster, who seemed to have everything but luck,! turned out to be the goat, v.s four runs were made during his time on the rubber.

"I am a believer in football as a square, manly sport, if properly super vised.

The hoosiers used a shift play, which the locals were apparently unable to solve, and gains of 10, 15 and 20 yards were the order or tne any. . At tne Rock Island goal line the visitors were held. During this period, the recj and gold men were ieariuuy outclassed ai every angle.

At the start cf the second quarter Whisler broke into the game and the. scenery shifted. The plucky little cap tain seemed to put "fight" into- toe rest of the men. After the ball had been taken well towards the Prince ton goal, Whisler broke through tne line for a 30-yard run and a touch down. Whisler kicked goal. Score 7 to 0.
