LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept H.-In driz-
zling rain this afternoon Purdue piled up %
points against Franklin College in the open
ing game of the local season. The play was
loose and there was considerable fumbling
with the slippery ball. Franklin's line, al
though strong in some points. went down
repeatedly before the onslaught of the
"Boilermakers."
In the first half there were several star
runs by Osborne, who advanced the ball for
Purdue each time 1t was given him. Emise,
at center, Davidson, at tackle. and Captain
Leslie showed up exceptionally strong. Five
minutes after the kickoff Miller made
plunge through center after a series of end
plays, and placed the pigskin behind
Franklin's goal. Davidson followed soon
after with forty-yard dash through the
opponents line for a second touchdown
Kaylor was soon showed over for third
score, and at the end of the first half the
score stood 80 to 0.
In the second half Coach Best changed
the entire eleven by putting in substitutes,
and 1t was practically the second eleven
that lined up against Franklin. When En-
Use and Leslie retired there was not var
sity man in the game. Zimmerman, a SUBJ

One man who will be badly missed is

BLANK TIE AT EARLHAM
NJ. T.. H. 8. HOLD THE HEAVIER QUA
KERs DOWN TO NOTHING.
But Are Themselves Unable to Score
High School Football Games.
,ecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. H.-In drench-
ing rain and on a field ankle deep in mud
the football team from the Manual Train
ing High School of Indianapolis played the
team from Earlham College this afternoon,
with the result that neither side scored.
The college team averaged twenty pounds
heavier than the visitors. This did not
deter the schoolboys from entering the
game with a show of pluck and energy
that soon won great respect for them. The
Earlham team throughout the game tried
mass plays, but the M. T. H. S. boys, with
their scientific work, kept them from doing
much damage. Notwithstanding the heavy
condition of Reid Field, the college players
resorted to punting, and in several in
stances gained good distances. The M. T.
H. s. boys were not discouraged by this,
however, and brought the ball back into
safe territory.
The work Of the NJ T. H. S. players was
somewhat of a surprise to the collegians,
tation of winning by good score. The
work of Bonham and Fesler on the M. 7.
H. S. team was considered remarkable.
They played good clean game, and at no
time was the umpire required to caution
them for off-side plays. The new men on
the visiting team showed up WELL and
Manager McComb expressed surprise at

said for the collegians, who lost several
valuable opportunities by dropping the ball
at critical times. The lineup:
