Buchtel rooters had chance to shout
to finish Saturday afternoon on
Buchtel field when Buchtel beat Hiram
by a score Of II to 6. The weather
was ideal but the field was not. At
the west end there were large pools Of
water and into these 20 gridron war
Tiors would occasionally fall and then
the crowd would laugh
Despite the mudy field, the faithful
who wandered over to the grounds saw
q game that was well worth going to,
from the Buchtel standpoint, at least.
From the manner In which the team
played Saturday, spectator would
scarcely have recognized the team
that was everlastingly beaten by WOos-
ter and Heidelberg.
As on the two previous Saturdays,
Buchtel stacked up against an eleven
that was far heavier than itself. But
the contest had gone on but a few mo-
ments before the spectators were
eware that weight is not the only requi-
site OH football team. Buchtel's do.
fensive work was astonishing. Out
weighed 18 pounds to the man, yet
Buchtel's line held like veterans white
on offensive. Buchtel's line tore holes
IN Hiram's through which Buchtel's
light backs darted for good gains.
The manner in which Pitkin and
Parshnll, each of whom weighs about
LBS pounds would gain several yards
with one or two heavy Hiram men
hanging onto them, was astonishing.
Parshall played the best game of the
year. His dodging while running with
the ball and his defensive work are de-
serving OF the gentest praise. His op-
ponent on the Hiram team was 20
pounds heavier, yet 1t was necessary
to take out timo on several occasions
while the Portage youth recovered his
bearings
Prettier tackling than was done by
Weary has not been seen here this sea-
son, On ono occasion. Woodruff,
Hirnm's 170-pound halfback, and a
crack player, broke away from the
bunch and set sail with n clear field
with the exception of Weary. And
Weary stopped him by perfect tackle.
Then everybody waited while the beefy
HiramItc found his breath. Fitchthorne
was used for good gains. He hit the
line hard and never failed to advance
fhe ball.
Hiram won tho toss and chose dry
land that ON the east side OF the field.
Weary kicked OFF to Williamson. Wood
bury went around right end for Is
yards. On the middle of the field
