The weatherman and the college stu
dent evidently did not come to an
agreement as to the opening of the
foot ball season. Instead of light
overcoats and big chrysanthemums
being In season, it was a day for the
shirt-waist man. But the game was
n good one, and one which especially
gave great credit to Akron's team
Case has, for the past few years,
proved terror to every college in the
State and to come and play tie-game
with Buchtel was certainly an eye
opener to the Western Reserve. Her
playing was lstless and careless.
with the exception of few mo-
ments in the first half, she displayed
no snap or vim, and the ball was in
Buchtels possession most of the time.
But the home team played a wonder
fully fast game, considering the great
heat. Rockwell at left end did remark
able work, especially In offensive play.
Washer at the other end, made many
brilliant tackles and repeatedly won
applause from the spectators. Robin
son played good steady game and
managed his team well. With some
good systematic signal and forma-
ton practice. Buchtel will turn out
n winning team and one that should
receive the support of the sport-lovlng
part of Akron's citizens. The game
in detail follows:
Buchtel won the toss and chose the
west goal Quarre kicked to the 3
yard line. Rockwell brought It back
20 yards and Easton and Robinson
gained yards on bucks. Easton was
violently shouldered by Hummel and a
skirmage ensued which resulted In

forced TO punt Posky caught thu
ball on Buchtels forty-yard line. Enc

but the ball was then lost on downs.
For the first and only time during
the game, Captain Quarrle OF Case
