final Count Is 32 to 0 and Victory It
a Well Deserved One for the
Local Warriors.
The Rock Island high school foot
ball warriors ended their appearances
on' the home grounds Saturday with a
brilliant display of ability which' won
the gamo from Peoria high school by
a soor of 32 to 0. The team which
represented Rock Island In Its last
home game was as different from the
team last seen here as night Is from
tfay. Coach Corneal spoke truly when
he said earlier In .the week that the
team had finally come Into its own and
was at last a worthy representative of
a school that always turns out good
squads. Peoria, despite a considera
ble weight advantage, was never la
the running and after the first quar
ter It was merely a case of how big the
score would be.
Whistler. Wlllett, Tremann, Glass
and Brough, were the particular Etara
The Ambroslans have won five out of six games played this season and entertain hopes of winning the last
one which Is with St. Joseph's college of Dubuque, a rival and much larger school. The one defeat to the Dav
enporters was administered by the Williams and Vashtl team of Aledo, which team Is now state champion and
contender for western collegiate honors. The Aledoans were held to the lowest score In their year's record, 24
to 0, by the Ambroslans. Reading from left to right, those In the pictureare: Hynes, qb.; McGinnis, le.; Bax

PBORUM Ol'Tri.AKII.
A strong weKt wind caused the col
ored captain of the Peoria Nm, to
choose the west goal when he won the
. tf8s before the game and accordingly
Rock Island kicked off. For five min
utes the ball see-sawed back and
fourth and the teams appeared even
ly matched and then Rock Island s
nuperlor football ability, training and
speed began to have its effect. Finally
cuing possession of the ball, the lo
cals rusned It down the field by short
but very ronslstant gains and hen the
quarter ended, the ball was on the five

Captain Tremann showed strategy
at the beginning of the second half
by letting his opponents have advan

so that his own team would have it
in the. final session. The result was !
thp visitors wore themselves out trv-l

when things were reversed, the Rock
Islanders literally tore them to pieces.

MI5S LUCILLE MULHALL, STAR OF
"CHEYENNE DAYS," AT THE EMPIRE
ine Moline Olympics came, saw
and were conquered yesterday after
noon at Island City park, the Rock Is
land Independents keeping up their
record of consecutive victories by tak
ing the measure of the visitors by a
score of 32 to 0, a score similar to
that made in the high school contest
on the same grounds the day before.
Though the score fails to show It, the
visitors put Up the best opposition
that the Independents have had this
year and the game was one well worth
witnessing. The local players had a
considerable weight advantage, but
idid not make use of it, prefering to
gain on end runs, forward passes and
trick plays. The Olympics never
threatened to score, but at times
showed ability to gain and continual
ly worried the local's defense. The
Moliners put up a dandy defensive
game and often threw the Indepen
dents for losses.

half backs for the Moline team, put
up dandy games and were hard to
stop while Seis at fullback was a bear
on defense. MacManus, quarterback
for the Independents, pulled off sev
eral of his sensational broken field
runs but neither counted In the scor

center and often museed up the op
ponents' plays before they were start
ed. The showing of the rest of the
team was up to the standard. One of
the prettiest plays of the day was a
forward pass of fully 30 yards from
MacManus to Swanson of the Inde
pendents, the play netting a touch
down after a short run. The pass
was perfect, the Moliners failed in
their efforts to block it,

announced that next Sunday the In
dependents will fight for the cham

the challenge sent forth by the locals.
The game will be played In Rock Is

expected. Spring Valley, with a vet

walloped all opponents this year and
the miners will come here with blood
in their eyes and a close hard con
