ENDED In SECOND HALF.

Visitors Left Field.

The Hanover College football team came
to indianapolis yesterday to play the Short
ridge High School eleven. The game was
scheduled to begin at o'clock, but the
Hanover men announced after arriving
here that they would have to leave the
city at o'clock, and therefore the game
would have to be called earlier and the
halves shortened to fifteen minutes EACH
This was agreed to by the Shortridge play
ers. But the game broke up in a row. The
Shortridge team scored twelve points in
the first half, while Hanover failed to
score. In the second half the ball was
kicked out of bounds, and before 1t was
placed in play a Hanover player secured
1t from Referee Hall and made dash for
the goal. He covered about sixty yards
before he was downed by Scott. A wrangie
ensued, as it was claimed that the Hanover
man took the ball before it was put in play
and the gain made by him should not be
allowed. Hasson Hall, the referee In the
second half, made the statement that the
ball was not in play and should be re-
turned to the place where 1T went out OF
bounds. The Hanover men objected TO
this, and while the wrangling was in prog
ress the visiting players decided that they
would have to leave the field to catch
train, so the game resulted IL to in favor
of Shortridge.
The game, as far as 1t went, demon
strated that the Indianapolis High School
boys had all the best of the argument.
They were able to hammer the opposing
line for successful gains, and their defen-
sive work was much better than the de-
Tense of the college men. Shortridge has
taken a brace and displayed more ginger
in yesterdays game than in any contest
during the season.
