The Flying Wedge.
DePauw formed the flying wedge
and the point of assault was Purdue's
right end. Albright was carrying the
ball. but he was downed before five
yards had been gained. A scrimmage
followed with no gain for DePauw, and
Purdue's followers were exultant. Capt
Whitcomb called for KuykendalI. and
the little full-back went through the
center for a gain of nine yards. Travis
went through the left end for three
yards and Albright was sent around the
right end for seven yards. The pace
was a merry one and Purdue showed
some signs of being ratified and Capt.
Whitcomb urged his men to even faster
work. Albright was again entrusted
with the ball and seven yards more
were added before he was downed.
Kuykendal and Travis ON assaults OF
the left end added five yards and ALL
bright gained three yards, going
through the line between the right
tackle and guard. Travis was sent into
the center, but failed TO gain and Kuy-
kendall was also stopped. The ball was
on Purdues fifteen-yard line. BY means
of a wedge and splendid interference
WhitcOmb advanced the ball twelve
yards. and It was within three yards
OF the goal line and almost in front Of
the posts. WhitcOmb was then sent
through the rushline between the right
end and tackle and by main force was
pushed over the goal line. DePauws'
followers were almost crazed with de-
light at the fact and when Whitcomb
kicked goal a moment later the enthuSi-
asm for few minutes knew no bounds.
The grand stand looked like a sheet
Ill
methOdists from the crowds increased
the confidence they apparently pos
sessed when they appeared for prac-
tice.
Lining Up Again.
The teams lined up again and Purdue
formed for one of the many flying
wedge tricks Quarterback Aldrich
stood in front and the ball was passed
TO Jamison. The runner advanced sew
enteen yards before being tackled. Pat
tison and Buchanan, the half-backs,
made gains at each end of six yards and
Jamison of three yards. After these
short gains DePauw's rush line was be-
coming somewhat demoralized. Capt.
Fulkerson tried an end play next and
IT was successful. Pattison went around
the left end for a gain Of twenty yards.
goal. but a disastrous fiulIe occurred at
this point. Robertson snapped the ball
carelessly and Albright got a golden
opportunity and took advantage Of II.
Aldrich fumbled the ball and the little
half-back picked himself out of the heap
OF players and rushed for the Purdue
goal. His sprinting ability was tested
tully, but he proved almost as much of
a mud lark as his opponent. He evaded
To-,
ten-yard line before he was tackled.
Five yards were given for an off side
play and there were but five yards TO
cover for a goal. Kuykendall was sent
through the center for this and his rush
line backed him up. He jumped over
line. Once more the cheers of DePauw
men rent the air and the score was:
DePauw. ~; Purdue. o.
Another start.
Purdue again started with a flying
wedge and Buschman carried the ball.
He was tackled foully by Mounts and
was given fifteen yards. making In all
a gain of twenty-five yards. DePauw's
tactics OF fast play were adopted and
Buschman was sent through the center
for a gain OF FIVE yards Pattison made
another gain, this time OF ten yards.
going around Collins. and on being
downed passed the ball TO Crowell, who
gave II TO Buschman on a criss-cross
and the latter went around the right
end and secured a touchdown behind
goal. Fulkerson. as had Whitcomb. sent
the ball sailing between the posts and
high over the bar for a goal. 1t was
Purdue's time TO yell and cheers were
given with a vengeance. DePauw tried
to drown out the noise, but could not
phase the Purdue enthusiasts The
score was now: DePauw, 10: Purdue. g.
The flying wedge with DePauw again
netted ten yards. Albright carrying the
ball. Travis went through the left for
five yards and Albright made short
gains. Kuykendall was sent through the
center for ten yards. but in the next
scrimmage DePauw lost the ball on a
tumble and Buschman made five yards
for Purdue. Pattison made neat
skirmish around the right end for twen-
ty yards ana kuykendall made a foul
tackle and the referee gave Purdue ten
yards more ground.
Aldrich passed the next ball TO Jami-
son and a clever dodge between the
right end and guard netted thirty yards
before the little full-back was downed
The ball was lost at this point on four
