The Indiana team came provided with an
unusually ornate and comprehensive yell,
which would have wearied the echoes to
reverberate mad they achieved victory.
1t went after thiswise:

point being made that Brewer had been

downs without progress by Indiana, and
moved toward goal.
FIRST POINT SCORED.
1t soon became apparent that Butler was
fieeter Of foot and the team better in hand
than Indiana. though the latter did some
excellent rush-line work, center rush Shafer
being a tower of strength. Parker. of But
Ter, got the ball in tumble and made a
good seventy-yard run, some fine blocking
being done by Scott. Touchdown was
made, but Scott failed to kick goal. Butler,

On the next lineup Indiana carried the
ball forward eighty yards and lost il on a
bad tumble by Helm. This was followed by
series OF ScrimmageS with varying
chances, the push favoring Butler which
never at any time allowed the ball to get
within hailing distance of the adversary's
goal. Somervine carried the ball over the
line and made touchdown, which was fol-
lowed by Scott kicking goal Butler, IA;

on the next lineup Indiana made seven
yards a wedge, and after three downs
without further gain Butler took the ball,
which was passed to Lister. who made a
gallant round the end for fifteen yards.
Indiana took the ball. which, after being sat
upon by Burford, went into the hands of
Moore, who made ffteen yards for Butler,
TO which was AIDED ten yards by Lister,
and was then lost TO Indiana The visitors
failed to profit, and Butler was again in
possession. Here the IndianaS did some
famous bucking, and Eagleson, the colored
right half of the visitors, made some excel
lent play. carrying the ball ten yards into

distance by eight yards. Miller punted, the
ball falling in touch Butler got the leath-
er, and a promising run was headed off
by a prompt and daring tackle by Herkless.
Indiana felt moments encouragement
when Holloway made gain OF fifteen
yards, which was followed By smaller gains
wedge rushes. Parker, for Butler, made
a long run across the Held and gained eight
yards. Moore carried it ten Yards furtner
and lost to Indiana on a tumble. The play
then progressed with varying chances until
Butler got the bali vTitnIn three yards OF
the goal line, when time was called.
SECOND HALF.
on the second half Butler opened bril-
liantly with the flying "V," the famous
Yale strategy. The movement took the en-
envy by surprise and Sonerville carried the
ball onward twenty-five yards. Here Indi-
ana struggled nobly against the wedge
which had closed and was moving forward
slowly but with seemingly irresistible
power. Shaffer threw himself before the
wedge and went down under the heap. He
was taken out with mis- nose bleeding pro-
fusely. On examination 1t proved to be
broken, and the big center rush was, much
against his viii, compelled TO abandon the
field. Several others Of the visitors here
showed up with bloody noses, while Others
were scratched and bruised Holloway was
taken out of q heap GREATNESS from kick
in the stomach, but soon recovered and
sumed play. Shaffer claimed that he was
struck by Buffers right guard, and others
of the visitors raised the cry that Butler
was all Buffers. Another touchdown was
followed by a goal kick in short order
Butler, 20; Indiana, 0.
IL was remarked that the Ltler player
induged in too much interference with
their hands, but as the field was becoming
dark it difficult to see exactly what
was taking place The spectators. overran
the field and several times seriously inter-
fered with the movements OF the game
On the next lineup the usuai scrimmage
