INDEPENDENTS LOSE OPENER October 8th - The Independents showed the rust and lack of preparation in the game. It appeared that late organization limited the team. With so many players moving on and with some jumping to the other Rock Island team it was not expected that the Independents would look good early in the season. Rockford A.A.C and Rockford Badgers combined to form this team. Flanigan failed to secure a lineup from the team. Source -Rock Island Argus October 9th, 1916 |
