Butler fought like demons and when
time was called for the first half had the
ball at Depauws fifteen-yard line, after a
succession of battering-ram attacks on the
center and ends of the weighty line before
it.
Darkness was fast coming on when the

From that time until the teams left the
field what was done can only accurately be
known by the men in those two heaving
lines. Backwards and forwards they
strained; now time would be called to let
some man recover his sensibilities and
now some man would complain to the um-

COMMENTS ON THE GAME.
Butler men last night were jubilant
Their team played q snappy. aggressive
and defensive game. Most of the playing
was of the bucking kind, but when the
runners were tried the blocking of David
son, Robinson and Hall showed what an
addition their years of experience Is to the
team. Lister showed remarkable apti-
tude for breaking through inter
ference and the opposing line, and
Shackleton.< though he had man
forty pounds heavier than himself at GEN.
ter, held him down, and played gritty
since it's play here with Ann Arbor. but it's
prospects with Purdue do not seem to have
frightened much. 1t certainly lacks team
work. Fry made some pretty runs yester-
day, but they would have been prettier
and longer had he had some interference.
Minor pounds the line as hard as be ever
did. but if his own line could but seldom
make holes for him To 60 into in Buffers
line it is doubtful if it can do any better
with Purdue.
Every man on both teams was more or
less injured in yesterdays game, and il
was chiefly due TO the fact of the unmerci-
full smuggling. 1t was so apparent that ev-
erybody on the grounds was talking about
it, vet no player was disqualified. Didn't
you notice it. Mr. Officlalsf
The championship game in the city will
be on Thanksgiving day. when the irresist-
able Purdues will appear.
