-
University OF indianapolis teams at Wash
ingtoa Park yesterday afternoon lacked
interest the Shortridge team and the
louisville Male High School eleven fur
nished a brilliant and spectacular contest.
Tt seemed strange that two college teams
should play curtain-raiser 10 contest
between two high school elevens. but the
college contest could hardly be called
curtain-raiser easily did the Wabash
team wipe out the defense of the u. Of /.
team and pile I'D a total score OF 46 to
in twenty-five minutes OF actual play.
Wabash and Butler were to have played
fall game of twenty-five and twenty min
ufes halves, but so much time taken
out In the first half that it was o'clock
before the half was completed. The field
had to be relincuished to the high school
team, at that time.
Shortrdge won signal victory over the
Louisville team by score OF % to 3. the
visitors only points being made on a spec
tacular place kick for goal near the close
OF the second half. Shortridge hammered
and battered the Coloneis' line with appar-
ent ease. and throughout the contest
worked trick plays for big gains Even
the quarter back executed by McKin-
ney proved to be a good ground gamer
double passes were tried with good results
Seldom was the Shortridge team held for
downs. while Louisville did not score a first
down by line plunging during the first
half
Tie first half OF the high school game
witnessed clean playing. but an incident
I occurred toward the close of the second
half that rather niarred the game One Nor
( two swrangies had ruffied the tempers of
} the opposing players before the teams
mixed in a scrimmage on Shortridge's s
twenty-five yard line. Louisville player
struck at Gipe and Shank used uncOmpli-
nsentary language in expressing his opinion
OF the assault. Bucknert OF the Louisville
team. struck Shank and a general row
seemed imminent Coach Brewer, OF the
! Shortridge team, rushed, the field and
' gathered Roe, the Louisville quarter back
around the neck and carried him as he
would a child to one side. preventing the
= bellicose little fellow from striking an In
= dianapolls player from the rear Several
& police officers separated the belligerents.
;. and Balfour and Shank were ordered out
= OF the game.
/. CROWD ENJOYED. CONTESTS.
1t was an ideal day for football and half
3 the grand stand and the north bleachers
= were filed with high school rooters The
girls from the North Side school occupied
4 fthe grand stand seats and cheered as only
: enthusiastic high school girls can. Several
s hundred spectators gathered near the side
: lines.
4 The Manual Training Scfrool players oc-
{ cupied seats on the bleachers and when the
shortridge players had placed their scoring
machinery In operation and in short time
had run up a safe score on the visiting
players gloom spread over the red and
= white aggregation. A short time ago Train
ing School was defeated by the same Louis
vile team BY score of to and the sight
. OF Shortridge completely outclassing the
= Louisville aggregation showed plainly that
form makers are justified in picking Short
ridge as the winner over Training School In
4 the annual game to be played on Thanks
giving.
II was the first game OF any consequence
that Shortridge has played on the home
q grounds this season, anG the followers OF
the blue and white were agreeably sur
prised at the brilliant team work displayed
y by that team. 1t was the consensus of opin-
{ Ion that the team representing Shortridgt
. this year Is the strongest aggregation that
s ever wore the blue and white. and great
p credit Is given to Mr.. Brewers coaching
and the work of Captain Clark.
Shortridge never showed weakness durins
4 the flrst half OF the game, and only once ol
I twice In the second half did the blue anC
i white falter. Every man who PLAYED or
the team shared in the glorious victory as
each played his part and played it we'll Tn.
teani was especially strong on the defense
= while the offensive work showed grea

s quickly and the man with the ball lost littl.

gressiveness that completely carried TN.
