and King were out of the game, and the
formers loss was trreparable. With Spauld-
ing in the game Wabash would have played
far better ball, ard no doubt there would
nave been a diffeSent story. Wabash did
not play in her usual form, and this ex-
plains her defeat. For Wabash, Harp, Mar
shall and Singer, q local high school extra,
played the best g:ime. Gordon was put in
during the last I've minutes, and made
gains of from ten to thirty yards. For
Earlham Captain Stanley played the best
tackling game. Time and again he got
around and tackled the Wabash runner for
a loss. Binford, Clark. K. Macy and Brun-
son played good hall. Referee Gossem gave
unsatisfactory decisions. Wabash lost for
ty-ive yards on ofs-side plays, and Earlham

his men off the geld. Finally, after much

of the Western gridirons this afternoon by
playing Northwestern TO a standstill at the
American League ball rounds. When
time was called at the end of one Of the
most desperate battles of the season.
neither side had scored. though on form
the men from Evanston were considered to
have a shade the best OF it. The result
came as a surprise 70 the northwestern
men. who had expected to win.
Notre Dame played a hard, plucky game
all the time, and the defensive work near
the end of the first half was the best seen
on any field this year. With the ball on
the two-yard line. the Notre Dame line
held the fierce charges OF the Northwestern
backs and gained the ball within less than
half a foot from the line. On the punt by
Salmon the ball went out Of bounds on
the fve-yard line and again Notre Dame
held. Almost all OF Northwestern's gains
were made by straight line bucks. a few
guard back plays, however. netting small
gains. At least five times McGlew or
S~haughnessy, the Notre Dame ends, tackled
ocean for loss or no gain when he at
tempted the quarterback run with which
he gained so many yards for the purple
against the smaller teams. Lineup:

S5-yard line by HaTs. During the first half
De Paw lost N~ysy;ander, who received a
broken collar bone. . De PAW was greatly
surprised at the scare. A special train of

The defeat was discouraging to the fol-

little Improvement over the game they
played earlier in the week against the Gen.

work of the Training school against the

contest ended in a victory for the Louis

Near the close of the contest when the
timers were w%rangling Coach Orme took
occasion to say that he has decided to make
every man on the Training School team
buckle down TO work during the ten days
before the Thanksgiving day game and they
will be compelled to pay strict attention to

intentions, and 1t is to be hoped that the
players will help him, it might be said that
the proper time to have used 1.-The club

Much is said by those who are not familiar

p~erquisites enjoyed by officers of the army

the officers of the lighting branches have
small opportunities to secure graft" All
their expenditures are carefully regulated
by law and the controller and auditors.
The mileage allowed to army and navy off,
GERS is but 8 cents a mile, so that a trip
on public business from Washington to New
York and return is but about S12; and there
is no chance of grating in such an in
stance unless a pass can be obtained or the
trip can be made within the limits of time
allowed to the purchaser of an excursion
ticket. The travelling officer is allowed
enough to enable him to go by good trains
and in parlor or sleeping cars. and TO stop
at decent hotels. Even & limited amount of
tipping is permitted. But the opportuni-
ties for graft" are very well restricted by
law and the watchfulness of the auditing
officers.
