Eastern College Games.
The orange banner Of the DePauw Uni
versity football team trailed in the dust
yesterday before the Light Artillery team
OF this city. The defeat, IL II had been
suffered at the hands OF a strictly amateur
team, would have been considered over
whelming and thoroughly discouraging.
But be it remembered that the Light Ar
tillery team is composed OF old college
men who have won laurels in many great
games, and who now constitute the strong
est athletic club out West excepting, posi-
bly,, the Chicago team managed by Corn
ish. Yesterdays lineup numbered two
crack players from the University of Penn

reliable end rushes. DePauw center and
Buffers last years captain Nichols, who
played quarter, Is one OF the best in the
State and won his laurels when Butler
was champion Of Indiana. With two ex-
ceptions the men have been stars in col
lege teams. and DePauw may be right
proud Of their plucky and gentlemanly
part In the contest. and with a months
training In the hands of Corbett, OF Har-
ward fame, they may expect to make the
Thanksgiving game interesting for Purdue
The showing OF the Light Artillery team
yesterday was evidence that the much
talked OF Athletic Club, If well organized
with clean and healthy policy, would not
lack in hrst-rate material. But 1t Is sad
10 relate that the pugilistic disposition OF
one or two members are not evidence or
previous good training-say for the min
istry. This is something, however, that the
captain can remedy on a suggestion. The
weather was ideal. Five hundred people
witnessed the game. The team made a fine
appearance as they came on the field, the
red stockings of the artillery being quite
conspicuous. The teams lined up as follows:

DePauw started with the ball, Corbett
kicking it the full length of the field and
over the goal line, thus making a touch
back and bringing the ball to the fifteen
yard line in Artillery's possession. Corbett
made this phenomenal kick three times dur
ing the game. The Artillery carried the ball
back by short rushes until Railsback raised
home enthusiasm by going six yards
through the center. Somerville made a
sweeping run around the left end for twen-
~ yards, and would have made goal but
for a great running tackle by Corbett. The
ball now changed hands twice on fumbles.
Somerville again made eighteen yards, and
