Rock Island Has Strong Team Now Stars From All Colleges Gathered to Contest ^ Olympics. Many Rock Island football fans are expected in Omaha for the contest between the Rock Island Indepen dents and the Olympics. Frank Cer ney received a telegram from one of the Rock Island representatives last night asking him to reserve one block of 50 seats in a bunch. There will undoubtedly be many others here, who will take seats in various parts of the grandstand. C. E. Elliott, Ottumwa, la., a for mer Northwestern university man, has been named as field official for the contest. A rule of the profes sional football association is that the field official must be named by the president of the association. Joe F. Carr, Columbus, O., wired the selec tion of Elliott last night. • The Independents hold an enviable record of 15 defeats out of 89 games played in 11 years. In the last three years they have' lost six games, tied three games and won 17 games. They have played but three games this year and have won all of them. One of their victories was over the Chi cago Bears. Two former Notre Dame stars, Bari Walsh and R. R. (Red) Phelan, both backfleld men, will oppose one an other Sunday afternoon In the con test between the Omaha Olympics and the Rock Island Independents at League park. 9 Both young men learned their foot ball under the famous Knute Rockne, who has recently succeeded in bring ing a light team into the east to hand the powerful Army eleven and the great Princeton eleven, each a decisive beating. Welsh played halfback and has been called by Rockne, the greatest defensive halfback Notre Dame has ever turned out. Phelan, who plays fullback for the Independents, is 25 years old, weighs 185 pounds and is 5 feet 11 Inches tall. He played on «»the Fort Madison high school team for two years before going to Notre Dame. Last year he played half back for the Toledo Professionals. In the stands watching the conflict will he another teammate of the two men, Chet Wynne, now coach at Creighton university. Johnny Armstrong, quarterback on the Rock Island Independents, was given the position of quarterback on the all-Iowa State high school team two years in succession over the great Aubrey Devine, who later In his days as pilot of the Iowa uni versity eleven, was made unanimous choice on the all-American team. Armstrong played quarterback for Dubuque high, when he was chosen In preference to Devine. Later he went to Georgetown university, where he was named all-eastern quarterback by several Atlantic coaat gridiron critics. • Sol Butler, colored, halfback on the Independents’ team, has won whole track and field meets by himself. He has won many events in the Olympic games and has treasured his medals -sway In a safety deposit vault. A Chicago firm recently displayed the medals in its shop windo%, filling the window. Butler is a hurdler, a sprinter, a wiistanco runner and, most of all a football star. Other great football players are listed in the Rock Island lineup. Her bert Sies, giant Pittsburgh guard, who 'was named all-American guard two years ago; Max Kadesky, Siatet s running-mate at Iowa; horrest G. (Fod) Cotton, all-American tackle when he played at Notre Dame, and Bill Giaver, famous Georgia Tech halfback, are among the others. Slater, * virtually single-handed, repelled the powerful onslaughts of the great Notre Dame backfleld and enabled the Hawkeyes to emerge vic torious over the South Bend eleven. It was Slater, backed up by the ex cellent offensive play of Gordon Ixtcke, his teammate that enabled that same Hawkeye team to defeat Yale in Y’ale’s own stadium, 6 to 0. Giaver played halfback opposite the famous Joe Guyon at Georgia Tech. AVhen the Independents defeated Rochester two weeks ago, the speedy Giaver scored four touchdowns in the final period. Giaver is 24 years old, stands o feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 188 pounds. He first played football with St. John Military academy and was chosen all-western prep fullback; at Keewatln academy the following year he was reappointed to the ail-western prep honor team as a halfback; he was captain and coach of the Thirty-third division team and later went to Geor gia Tech, where he became famous as halfback on tha Golden Tornado team._ **forinnell Claims More Historical Honors Now Grlnnell, la„ Oct. 26.—The claim that tha first football game in the west waJ played here In 1899 between the University of Iowa and Grlnnell college has brought out thei state ment by H. W. Matlack, Orlnnell alumni secretary, that the local In stitution also participated In the first Interstate gridiron contest. That game, Matlack declared today, was played In 1890 with tha University of Minnesota. Grlnnell also claims the distinction of having staged the first Intercol legiate track meet held In the west.

Lincoln, Oct. 2ft.—Coach Fred Daw son and 25 Nebraska football play ers will Invade the lair of the Mis souri Tiger this week-end for the pur pose of renewing the gridiron warfare which was started in,1892. It is doubtful if Captain Lewellen will play. He has a bruised shoulder which seems to be affecting his en tire right arm. He was given a last minute "going over” by the team physician and trainer and will be subjected to more treatments in the hope of getting him in shape for Sat urday. Otherwise the team Is In good shape, physically. Heinie Bassett, veteran lineman, is suffering from a muscle bruise on one of his legs, but this will probably be rubbed out by game time. ' In case Lewellen does not start. It Is hard to figure Just how the Ne braska backfield will look. There Were three practice periods on the home field this week and at all three of these Coach Dawson ordered long sieges of scrimmage. Rufe Dewitz was calling the sig nals. with Sed Hartman back at full back; Herb Dewitz and Dave Noble at halfback. This would put the punting responsibility on R. Dewitz. When Captain Lewellen was forced out of the lineup before with an in fected knee, Roland Locke, sopho more. was put in his place because he could punt and pass. Possibly this will happen again Saturday. There is one thing about a Nebras ka team. The members are never told whether they will start the game until about 30 minutes before the opening whistle. Judging, from the manner In which they practice to gether Is the only method of picking the team which will start. And then, as likely as not, the guess of the bleacher hawks is found to be wrong when the Huskers line up. The game last Saturday has awak ened Nebraska followers to the fact ttOt there are other teams in the Missouri Valley conference. Spoiled by too many victories, the scoreless tie which Kansas *w:is able to put over has reacted in ail sorts of ways. There are claims that fraternity favoritism was responsible which is so ridiculous on the face of it that this rumor was short lived. The facts are these: The majority of Nebraska's players this year are green.. Footbal^ is !1ke anything else. The player Is not born with a knowledge and knack of it. He must learn it in one of the most exacting schools of all —the school of the gridiron. If there were errors of commission or omission in the Kansas game It can be laid to the door of inexper ience. And. above all, Kansas brought a team here this season that was wor thy of its steel. George (Potsy) Clark believes it is the best team he has ever produced in Kansas. And when he mude that statement it was not at a moment when he was carried away by enthusiastm. It w»as the night before the game. He has a pair of ends, Griffin and McBane, who do their stuff with a nicety and dispatch. But the Valley hasn't seen a better race for the championship in several seasons. This coming Saturday will settle all kinds of arguments going around now. The Huskers making the trip to Co lumbia: Backs: Captain Bewellen, H. Be wltz. Hartman, Bloodgood, Noble, B. Dewitz, Ivocke, Gstely. Ends: Myers, Rhodes, Collins, Mc Allister, Robertson. I.innmen: Halbersleben, Bassett, McGlasson, Hendrickson, Packer, Wefr, Berquist. Hubka. Rorby.
