The game was never in doubt as Rock Island ran and threw the ball all over the field. The Independents were able to complete several passes on the day 2 of which went for touchdowns. Eight players scored touchdowns and Coleman was able to kick 4 extra points. Rock Island moved to 4-0 and will host the Moline West Ends next week. Source -Rock Island Argus November 4th, 1912 |
