among their loyal supporters by the
desperate defense and scrappy offense
offered their ancient foe, Depau, the
Earlham eleven yesterday afternoon
fought the Greencastle team to
standstill until the middle of the last
half, when Depauw made a field goal
from placement and then fought the
Quakers down the field, yard by yard
until the ball was carried over the
Earlham goal line for the only touch
down of the game, winning the game
by the score of 10 to o.
The game was the most spectacular
and interesting seen on Reid field this
season and the desperate way the Qua
kers fought at first demoralized their
enemy, who was looking forward to
easy picking" DePauw outclassed
the Quakers in offensive play and in
!. field generalship. OF the latter Earl
ham was sadly deficient and had the
team been operated properly it is
quite probable that Earlham would
have made at least two touchdowns.
The Quakers were also robbed of
, drop kick by a poor pass made by
Center Stanley to Captain White. The
ball went wide the goal by about
foot.
The result of the instruction given
the Quaker forwards by Big Macy,
the former Earlham star, was shown
by the greatly improved manner in
which the linemen played. They
chargd low and fiercely and through
out the game the only DePauw player
who was able to make gains by line
bucks was Fullback Dennison, and his
gains were far and few between. Fran
els and Beebe, especially the latter,
played nicely at ends. Toward the
close of the second half Beebe weak
ened and was replaced by Reagan.
White the Star.
The bright. particular star of the
game was White, of Earlham. He
made two hair raising end runs, tack
led fiercely on the defensive and his
punting was the best exhibition ever
seen in this city. In the first half,
with the wind in his favor, Whites
punts averaged seventy yards and : in
/ the second half his kicks against the
otIOhS Wlhu oNOioSOu bSS"SSd Hwy
and sixty yards. DePauw was clear
ly outclassed in this department of
the game.
Earlhams most glazing weakness
was in her tackling. Grady, the clev-
er DePauw quarterback, was permit
ted time and time again to run back
Whites punts to thirty yards.
Earlham lost a golden opportunity
to make a touchdown at the start Of
the first half On the first play after
DePauw's kickoff to Earlham, Beebe
accepted a neat forward pass and
sprinted forty yards. Here it should
:. be noted that this was the first and
only successful forward pass the Qua
4 kers made during the game. but Quar-
terback c. Jones constantly labored
: under the impression that this play
was the only ground gamer he held up
his sleeve. For this reason Earlham
lost touchdown. After Beebe had
made his sprint and the ball had been
taken to the Methodist's twenty-yard
line by straigh football, c. Jones
called for a forward pass. 1t went
clear over Beebes head and out OF
. bounds.
; Lost Opportunity.
Toward the close of the first half
Earlham fell down on another chance
to score when within close range OF
DePauw's goal by Jones taking it into
his head that the riskiest possible
play, the on side kick, was the proper
one to pull off. 1t was executed and
+ Earlham lost the ball The first hall
