MOLINE TEAM IS BESTED BY LOCALS

October 13th - The Moline Illini, the 1911 Tri-City champions were beaten at Browning field up on the bluff in Moline. After recovering an early fumble, Moline’s center Soderstrom was called for an illegal flying tackle which aided the Independents in getting the ball down to the Moline 5 yard line. Roy Salzmann was called from tackle to the backfield on a  3rd and goal. Salzmann took his first carry and was met at the 3 yard line by several Illini players. On 4th down from the 3, Salzmann shot towards the line and dove over coming down head first for what would eventually be the game winning score.

Key Players - MacManus at quarter had several nice runs and many long kick returns. On defense, center Caulfield repeatedly broke into the Illini backfield to break up several plays.
