SCORE MADE ON PLACE KICK

Stimulated with ginger that Coach
sLong john Miller injected into
them in two days practice, Earlham
met the heavy Wittenberg eleven,
averaging 165 pounds, yesterday aft
ernoon at Springfield, Ohio, and took
them into the Quaker camp by the
score of 4 to 0. The credit of this
vistory, in a great measure, is due to
the clever "foot work. of Lawrence,
the fast little left end, who kicked
a field goal from placement on Wit
|tenberg's thirty yard line. Earlham
had possession of the ball the major
|ity game end the ccntest sRas
fodgfit nearly altogether on Witten-
|berg's territory. Except when the
sSpringfeld boys were in critical
places the Quakers had no difficulty
in blowing through their beefy line
\ men, but when their goal was in SER
jious danger of being crossed then the
iWittenbeg line would brace and put
up a front to the Earlhamites that
was as inpenetrable as stone wall.
Both sets of ends put up swell
game and a strict blockade on end
runs was established by them.
Toward the close of the first half
/ Earlham forced her way to the Wit
stenberg three foot line and after
three desperate assaults the Quakers
were forced to surrender the ball,
which was promptly booted out OF
sdanger. Shortly after this repulse
Lawrence tried for field goal from
the thitry yard line, but the stiff
wind blew it out of its course. Five
sminutes after the start of the second
Shalf Lawrence kicked a beautiful
field goal after Quarterback Wilson
had fumbled and recovered the ball.
After this score Wittenberg strained
