Greatly bestirred are these three BU'l cities over the prospects of Itaorrow'i much discussed return Bttch between Rock Island's In fcpsndents and the sterling Staleys 4 Decatur, in what promises to be I irim, speedy football game which issli determine who's who in mlJ- mt professional football. Notwithstanding tneir last two rlttories over the Chicago Carda ns and Maroons, the Independents in fostering only a furtive hope that they will be able to stop thu SUleyi and retain the champion Ua contention in Rock Island. lMs is because they know, if they fall, the Starchmen will be accord- All UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW FOR ALL Eleventh hour announcement from lh Independent management to dty was to the effect that every football fan who attends the game wttl be afforded a clear view of the whole field of play, and that the poo will either be won or lost itrictly on Its merits. The Island en realize the importance of de biting the Staleys. Brains and kun will be matched to accom )hh their complete vindication for tit defeat of three weeks ago. The extra seating and standing capacities will consist of additional (eld chairs and sloping wooden ttuding platforms stationed at Ttrtoua open spaces along the side line. These platforms will have a iloplng surface in order that the oaei behind may look over the heads of those, in front, and thus tee the whole field of play without lfconTenienre. WIT INFLUX OF The whole community is so nraght up over this game that the oat-of-town attendance is expected to break all records for profes sional football in the middle west; perhaps, the country, outsiife the larger cities. The fame of the In dependents in the last two years hu spread to every nook and cran ny of this part of the state and that lection of Iowa in and aronnd Dav enport Tomorrow's game ia ac cepted aa THE game of the season and the majority of outside fans lll accept it as their excuse for the annual trip to Douglas park. Beatirred by championship hopes, the Staley delegation, which num bered onlv 200 at the nrevious game la Rock Island, is being estimated P to more than 1,000. Their spe cial tram from Decatur will arrive tomorrow before noon. Moat of the contingent have blocks of bleacher tickets ordered in advance, o they can shout encouragement to their champions as a unit.

Day .after dsy, the minimized ranks of the Independents have practiced faithfully to condition their physiques Jor matching them with none other than the Staleys, grimly waiting the hour when they shall take the field against the Starchmen to win or lose their one big chance.. Six regulars have been unable to leave their respective businesses in Omaha and Minneap olis to take part in the daily prac tice. This might or might not have a telling effect on the Independents' team play tomorrow The fact re- jjnains that the lack of practice in curred by the outside sextet, and the injuries to Ursella, Lyle and Buland, will make the Islanders enter the game, not as popular fa vorites but as contenders' with only a fighting chance against the well oiled Staler machine, which has been drilling with all the facilities of a big college team. Plans have been completed by the management to accommodate as many fans in and around the tri cities who wish to see the day's leading game in the national pro fessional field. The management has obtained the services of additional police from Davenport and Moline to as sist Rock Island policemen Jn pre serving order on the grounds. The outworks will be guarded so closely that immediate arrests will follow any attempt of miscreants to gain illegal entrance to the park. In case it proves necessary to open the field gates to allow a vast overflow to see the game, the police will be commissioned to keep the hordes within restricted areas. It is estimated that the management witl have a working force of fully 100 at the grounds. FANS IS LIKELY Betting today centered chiefly on even money, although there are many wagers that yield Independ ent supporters the privilege of odds at 10-7, 7-5 and 5-3. The gradual success of the Staley outfit is the underlying topic of discussion in betting circles. Givers of odds be lieve that the Independents cannot come back and many have wagered all lllcir utauauio .v ouyr'. such a belief. Ticket speculation, which was at tempted earlier In the week, seems to have been utterly suppressed, for no such complaints have been received by Manager Flanigan and his assistants. However, the al leged "specs" might be waiting to ply their trade at the last moment before the game. If this proves true, the fans should remember that tickets bought from speculators will be revoked at the park and every possible attempt umtfe to arrest and convict the guilty parties. WITH INJURIES in case of injury. Forthat matter, the versatile Webber could suh for Gunderson at center and still play a strong game. There is small chance that Bu land will start the game unless his lana Will mail. .uc gauio injuredNleg improves greatly within the next 24 hours, tsuiana nas oeeu on tne smennes store a clipped in the last Staley game, and 'is chafing under the atraia of his enforced layoff. If Buland is unable to play by game-time, Fred Denfleld, former Annapolis AU-Amertcan second choice guard, will get the opportu nity to win greater fame and a warmer spot in the hearts of tri city fans. Denfleld is in splendid physical ' condition-i-etrong and speedy. His line charging by which he rips open holes, should make it another tough day for Bert Ingwer son, former Illini. who suffered no ticeably three weeks ago at the hands of Walt Buland.

No 'decision has been reached for the reason that Peoria, Illinois and numerous other cities are also aft er the honors and there will prob ably be hot competition before the decision is made by the executive committee of the association.

AU3USTANAIIAS CHANCE TO END 111 2ND PLACE Mllllken Baa CUneked Tm It Ap pears, Bat Angle Has Clear Hold Oa Baaner-rp Honors. Bloomlngton, m. Not. S. With the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic conference football championship practically clinched by James Mil likenmniveraity of Decatur,, the teams which were considered cham pionship contenders at the begin ning of the season have set about to win the remaining games of their schedule ao aa to finish aa hirh' in the conference percentage column possible. The games scheduled for this week will have no bearing on the championship race, as there is but one of these contests which is even ly matched, that being the Bradley Wesleyan games scheduled for Peo ria today. The remainder of the tams for this week's schedule are very unevenly matched, most of which will be decided by large scores. Mllllken Classiest. Milliken demonstrated to the fol lowers of the conference that the kBlue and White machine is without a donbt the strongest in the state by administering a 34 to 0 beating to the strong Eureka college eleven at Decatur last Saturday. The result was even greater than what" the Milliken backers had hoped for. The Decatur Institution will take things easy this week, meeting the weak Shurtleff college eleven at Decatur Saturday in a game which the Pres byterians should win by a top-heavy score.,. Illinois college, which has lost but one game to date, will journey to Monmouth today, where Coach 1 annon's eleven is expected to hand Monmouth, a convincing beating. Illinois sprung a surprise last week by defeating Wesleyan at Jackson ville by the score of 13 to 7. the re sult of two fumbled punts which were recovered by Illinois men on the Wesleyan five-yard line. Coach Harmon is but to win second place in the conference standings and have no thought of losing any more games this season. Eureka Should Win. . Eureka meets the weak Heading aggregation at Eureka today in a contest which should be won by the Woodford county eleven by at least 50 points. This game will have no final result on the conference race in as much as both teams have al ready been eliminated from the run ning. Probably the most excitine eame scheduled for this week end is the Wesleyan-Bradley game which is being played at Peoria today. The two schools are time honored rivals and the annual contest between these institutions are always fierce ly contest regardless of the strength oi tne opposing elevens. Weslevan has a heavier team than Bradley ana a DacKneid which should show to advantage against the Peoria ag gregation. The fact that Bradley had a difficult task of defeating the weax iNormal team, 10 to 0 last Sat urday, tends to show that the Peo ria aggregation is not playing up to its usual standard. Knox vs. BIpon. Knox college meets Ripon at Galesburg in another non-confer ence game. -The "Siwash" eleven has demonstrated Its class by not aaving sunered a defeat to date, the latest triumph being a 7 to 0 vic tory over the strong Lake Forest team at Lake Forest last Saturday. It is to be regretted that Knox has not scheduled games with more of the conference schools in order that they could be rated in the confer ence standing. A movement is on foot to bring the Knox and Milliken elevens together on Thanskgiving day in a game which will settle be yond all doubt the supremacy of the Illinois inter-college conference, as possible. As the race now stands, Milliken is leading the conference with Au gustana second; Illinois college, third and Eureka, fourth. KNOX TO REMAIN IN CONFERENCE, IS COLLEGE REPORT Galesburg, m, Nor. C Contrary to rumors which hare been afloat In college athletic circles In the state recently to the effect that Knox intends to withdraw from the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletio as sociation.

The western football conference drew attention io the outcome of three games, which will determine the final con testants for the 1920 champion ship the Michigan versus Ohio game at Columbus (Ohio), the Chi cago-Illinois game at Chicago, and , the Minnesota-Wisconsin game at Minneapolis. Illinois, 1919 conference cham pions, and Ohio State, last year's runner-ups, offered undefeated teams for today's play, while Wis consin, Michigan and Chicago, each though defeated in one conference game, may go into a tie for first place unless the two unbeaten elevens can keep their slates clean for the rest of the season.
