SCHEDULE BEGINS
EarIham and Butler to Meet on
Gridiron at indianapolis
Next Saturday.
BOTH SQUADS WORKING
THE SLIGHT INJURIES WILL NOT
AFFECT EITHER TEAM MUCH
QUAkERS TO HAVE DELEGA-
TloN-OFFiClALSS SECURED.

The real football schedule Of Earl
ham college will begin Saturday when
the Quakers meet Butler at Indiana
polls. The games with Cedarville and
Antioch were but preliminary to the
schedule qualifying the Quakers in
their contest for the secondary cham
pionship of Indiana. Frederick Vail,
who coached the Quakers last year
arranged the program of games for
this year SO that Earlham would have
the real Indiana gr1diron contests be-
gan. The foresight shown by the for
mer coach is appreciated by only a
few students, the others maintaining
that the Quakers should have jumped
into Indiana games at the opening Of
the season.
Butler won from Earlham last year
by score of 81 to 0. This year that
college has spent more money for a
coach and has expended more energy
securing football stars. The men
have been run through hard practice
since the opening of college and have
met teams in this state and now they
have two victories to their credit. Ac-
cording to dispatches Butler is work
ing hard for the game with the Quak-
ers. They were surprised when Earl
ham won from Cedarville and Antioch
and during the past week they have
redoubled their efforts. The men have
been put through some hard practice
which has told on some members of
the varsity.
Butler Players Hurt.
During the past few days some
members of the Butler aggregation
have been injured. This has kept them
out of practice and will affect the
playing to some extent Saturday. This
includes Captain Thomas and Geier
Both u the men constitute the strong
est varsity material of Butler. In the
practice last evening Coach Gipe play
ed on the second team in order to
show up the weak spots of Butler.
But while Butler is making a hard
fight IN practice the Quakers are los
ing no time. The men are kept on
Reid field until dark each evening.
Coach Thistlethwaite who has been a
hard worker this week on the gridiron
and in lectures to the men realizes
Saturday and all the plays and means
of securing team work are being drill
ed into the squad.
Fear Buffers Line.
One of the points the Quakers fear
from Butler is their line. Most Of
the practice this week has been de-
voted to breaking through the line.
The second team has been placed
against the varsity and dummies piled
back of the team and then attempts
made by the varsity to break through.
Fully one half hour was spent at this
one play Tuesday evening.
Earlham is also suffering from the
injury to sevc>al players. Haworth.
one of the strongest men in the back
field has a bum knee and the col
lege physician has been working on
him the past few days. He will not
be out of the game Saturday, however.
Bruner and Turbyville are also COM
planning Of injuries, but unless there
are other developments they will be
in the game against Butler. Coach
Thistlethwaite is striving to develop a
man at left end. and Hughes seems
to be the most formidable. He quit
the game last week because of paren-
tai objection, but the game had too
much of hold upon him and he again
made his entry.
100 Students viii Go.

next Saturday. They have been grant
ed rate of $3.50 round trip and
the tickets are good going Friday and
returning Sunday.

ington park in Indianapolis and the

les Tighe of Indiana, umpire and Scott
