always in doubt. The Galesburg

eimping still on the Crimson and
Cold trail as Captain Hall went on
the lnjuied list with a sprained
neck received at the start of the
.fourth quarter. The Rock Island
leader was removed to the hospi
tal where examination showed that
hfi skull was not injured as first
thought.
The invaders scored first when
Kost, left end on the Siwash ma
chine, recovered a fumble of Vlnnr
and raced 45 yards-to the locals'
13-yard line. Alvine, nursing a bum
-rwrist, was sent Into the affray, but
the visitors with the aid of a five-
, ysrd penalty crossed the goal after
the Islanders had held three time
on their one-yard line. They failed
. to make the extra point when a
" place kick failed.
The Islanders came back after
this and went after the Galesburg -era
relentlessly. Viner plunged
through , the line time and time
' again and Anally went over for a
touchdown." The Islanders also
tailed to get the extra point when
1 drop kick failed. '

;' outstanding feature of the game.
The Galesburg team found the
Rock Island front wall almost in
vulnerable. Captain Hall led the
linemen by playing a great game.
He made tackle after tackle and
do man was safe within 10 yards
' of him. Alvine, who played, al
though injured, when the Islander
goal was in danger in the first
quarter, and when Hall was in
jured, was a tower of strength and
" a veritable tank on offense.

Playing -heads-up football from
whistle to whistle and out-fighting
the Independents most of the time,
the Chicago Bears, formerly Sts
ieys, danced away with another of
those victories oyer the Rock Is
land representatives yesterday aft
ernoon at Douglas park in a sen-'
sational contest
The score was 10 to C, and'the
Chicago aggregation owes its mar
gin of victory to the celebrated toe
of Dutch Sternaman, and to the
fieetness of foot of Pete Stinch
comb, whose reputation on the
gridiron extended from coast to
coast when he was making touch
downs for Ohio State university by
out-running the rest of the field.
It was Stinchcomb who really
gave the Bears their chance for
victory and it was Dutch Sterna
man who bolstered up the count by
booUng two goals from placement,
one followed the touchdown and
the second materializing from the
30-yard line for three points.
Runs 57 Yards to Goal.
Stinchcomb tossed . a monkey
wrench into the machinery by dash
ing 37 yards with less than 10 sec
onds to play before the end of the
first half for the touchdown that
meant defeat to Rock Island. That
scared jack rabbit description
stands. He didn't sidestep; he out
ran the field by following perfect
interference to one side and then
That seemed to.be the turning
point ; for the Independents, and
even when Jimmy Conzelman fail
ed to score an extra, point by a
drop kick, hopes remained high.
The? Islanders apparently had the
situation solved and seemed good
for at least another spectacular
march. ' But that's where the
guessing went wrong. True, the
team did try desperately for the
winning marker and came within
15 yards of a second touchdown, in
the last five minutes, but the dash
that featured the touchdown was
gone. The Bears took up where
they had left off in the first half,
and out-fighting, out-charging, sav
ed the day for Chicago.
Lauer and Wenig Star.
Dutch Lauer. Ohe Vifenig, Jimmy
Conzelman and Buck 'Gavin were
the outstanding lights in Rock Is
land's attack. Lauer's ground-gaining
was perhaps the best piece of
individual work of the game. Re
peatedly he smashed the Mine for
substantial gains and showed his
versatility by completing numerous
passes from the expert hand of
Conzelman. Wenig entered the
game near the end of the second
quarter and shortly began to show
that his old cunning in completing
forward passes is- still With him.
Between him and. Lauer with Con
zelman doing the throwing, life was
i made miserable for the Bears'

The lopsided count is a fair rep- high school football team lost its

However, all of the linemen were

Viner, with his great plunging,
was the star bf the backfieid.
Rinck at his best was no better
than Viner was Saturday and if
Rock Island had another ground
gainer like him it would have all
games on ice. ,
Frakes and Kost were big guns
for Galesburg and gave the Rock
Islanders plenty to think about.

First Quarter.
Galesburg won the toss and
elected to receive. It took the
left to play, the spell of the old
Staley jinx settled down- .on the
big Sabbath crowd.
The Independents staged a bril
liant comeback in the third quarter,
getting possession of the ball soon
after the kickoff and marching 70
yards to a touchdown. This march
of the Islanders to overcome odds
brought out the best football shown
by them at any stage of the game.
It was an irresistible onslaught,
line smashes and passes being mix
ed to perfect advantage. But the
sad part of the whole thing was
seeing the team settle back into the
rut that characterized their play
ing in the first half. With full
steam ahead for the Islanders, the
Chicago outfit first faltered and
'then seemed to crumple. Halas
west goal with a strong wind in" its rushed in numerous reserves in a
avor. Reid kicked oft and Rock vain attempt to stem tne aeaaiy

tracks. Galesburg made a first
4own on three plays but could not
fain on the next trloand kicked
Oyards to Rock Island. Ramser,
lOrrting the game at fullback, went
.through renter for five yards.
Rock Island 'found the Galesburg
line saft and made their first
flowns with ease. Galesburg stif-
advance. The Independents seem
ingly made the mistake of expect
ing the Bears to stay down in the
face of the changing situation.

and Lauer, besides his line drives,"
f lade two "exceedingly brilliant re
urns from kickoff.
Pete and Little Joe.
Stinchcomb and little Joe Sterna
man were really the whole show
for the Bears. The younger Sterna
man ran the team from quarter
back with the precision of t. vet
eran, working his star backfieid as
if it were a clock, and himself re
peatedly sliding through the left of
center for gains. Dutch Sterna
man's most outstanding bit toward
victory wasxontributed by his toe.
Rock Island's line played below
its standard during the greater part
of the game. Too often the Bears'
forwards were permitted to seep
through and throw Rock Island
runners for disheartening losses.

team. The line or the ratrfleld
team was impregnable. Again and1
again the Augustana runners would
bit the opposing lipe and equally
as many times would they find a
stone wall defense. The fact that
Augustana carried the pigskin, for
first down but four tirrfes during
the melee, while the Parsons eleven
made a total of 13 first downs.
shows the difference in the two
teams. -,
Augustana is offering no alibis.
The Augie players played one of
the cfeane8t games that any Blue
and Gold athletic representation
ever played, and equally as hard.
They were simply outclassed. . ;
Bendle and Johnson Star. .-r
N The work of Bendle in the baok
field and Johnson at center stood
out most prominently for Augie.
although this is said with no re

were all in th"re rtivrng everything
they had. Bendle mnde most rf t!.o
