Good Line Bucking By the K. b. 1.

At EarIham the athletic season :
lust opening up. The new COACH
Mr.. Marshall of Purdue, an ex-
perienced man and one who, besides
knowing football as he knows the
alphabet, is a gentleman OF high
character as well, is getting the team
licked into shape, and teaching them
a great deal of the game. One OF
the things Mr. Marshall knows that
many coaches lack, is when not TO IN
struct. He does his work quietly
unostentatiously. and yet effectively,
Reid field is a beauty. Ii Is con
structed in basin, surrounded oy
terrace, giving the --LATEST possi pie
ground for playing and the best iacll-
tiles for witnessing the game. On
the north side of the field IS situated
grand stand that will seat between
700 and 800 people, in comparative
comfort. There will also be bleach
ers for half thousand or so. Inc
place is not only fine IN ltseh Ior
| football. but is situated in a sheltered
place that will keep off much OF the
wind that often has considerable to
| do with the outcome of football games
| The bows are all enthusiastic over the
new field, and as a result OF the
| impetus the new facilities have given
| to athletics, great things are
expected to be heard from that in
stitution all through the year, in
spite of the absence of Peacock,
whose loss everybody recognizes as
one well-nigh irreparable. A view
of the fellows at their football work,
| however, tends to create confidence
| in the team, and to make one believe
| that Earlham has a lot of good,
stocky, nervy and heady players this
| wear who win not lie down and let
| the best team in the state carry the
ball to the goal The boys are pre-
pared to fight every inch of ground
on the gridiron, and to do it etfec-
| lively.
Last evening the Business college
team from the city went over and
tried a game with Earlham s first
team. The first half was spent by
the X. b. c.. team in line bucking
that, while full of energy and speed,
was unsuccessful to the extent OF
making the score at the end of that
half % to D. The next half, however,
was characterized by more familiar
| NV Win tslStito oi4 tAAt
part of the r. B. C. s, and the way
they tackled and bucked and inter
fered was revelation to all who saw
it. 1t was splendid half, from the
standpoint of good playing and IN
terest, and the team from the city
held the score exactly where it had
been at the end of the first half.
Earlham did her best, and the inter
ference of the opposition was highly
effective.
The unpleasant rooter has already
begun to make his appearance on the
campus. There are rooters and root
ers. There were three or four boys
at the game yesterday afternoon
who were there solely because the
game was free. They abused The
privilege they ha1 on the grounds, by
