fBy Tort.)
EarIham II; Franklin 8.

On Reid Field yesterday afternoon.
Earlham defeated Franklin college,
slow but scrappy team, II to e. The
one score made by Franklin was due
to an excusable error on the part of
the Quaker back field. the poor throw
OF back pass. From the view point
of the Earlham rooter the game was
pleasing, not that 1t was so very well
played, but because the Quakers show
ed decided improvement in form not
withstanding the fact that nearly all
the men still felt the effects of the
bruising Purdue game the previous
Saturday. The forwards played low
er and charged fiercely, holding the
Franklin outfit at bay nearly all the
time throughout the entire game. The
offense also showed decided i'm
provement. The backs bucked the
line hard and several spectacular end
runs were pulled off. In this line of
work White monopolized the lime
light, making two long dashes for
touchdowns. On the defensive Right
End CASTOR of the Quakers, was the
decided star. His spectacular work
was feature we'll worth seeing.
The Richmond boy time and time
again went through Franklin interior
ence and downed the man carrying
the ball. His work attracted parti-
cular attention throughout the game
as did his work in the Purdue game
last Saturday week
In the first half White of Earlham
and Bryan of Franklin had a pretty
punting battle, but their good work
was married by the miserable manner
in which each team handled punts.
In the second half there was consid-
cradle punting and the Quakers i'm
proved in their work of handling the
ball, but Franklin still continued to
perpetrate coarse work.
