QUAKERS TIE BUTLER

Just wait till after the Saturday
games and we will give you the CON
rect dope on the relative standing OF
the secondary colleges" said the foot.
| ball coaches of the state last week.
Saturday has come and gone and the
| matter of the winner of the secondary
| championship of the state is lust as
much matter of conjecture as ever
With two important games played on
! this date, it promised easy to discard
the two losing teams and then by a
relative comparison of points scored,
pick out winner from the remainder
The unexpected, which is happening
with amazing regularity in the foot
ball world this year, interposed again,
so now it is probable that the best
secondary eleven in the state cannot
be picked until late i'll the season
Earlham surprised many by tieing
Butler, while the tie score between
Rose and Wabash came as a positive
shock. With Butler tieing Wabash and
Hanover beating Earlham it means
that all these teams must be consid-
cred in the running for state honors
Butler Has Edge.
Butler seems to have an edge on
Earlham, Wabash apparently has a
team slightly superior to Butler while
Rose has a stronger team than Wa
bash, even though the score of Satur-
day does not indicate it. This would
put Hanover on a basis about even
with Wabash with Franklin and De-
Paw still unplaced
DePauW has defeated Wabash, but
permitted Franklin to hold her to a
tie score. Should Franklin hold Wa
bash next Friday the Methodists and
Engineers would be on about the same
footing as rivals for state hOnors but
should Wabash run up a good score
against Franklin the Little Giants will
have as good a chance for secondary
honors is the rest
This is the dope and it is worth just
what it is worth. Rose Poly was a
strong favorite last week because of
her brilliant showing against St.
louis, but the best she could do was
% play crippled Wabash to a tie
core. DePauw. save for her defeat of
Wabash, has done nothing to indicate
ner real strength.
Favorable Comparison
According to the dope Earlham does
not seem to have exceptionally good
Hhances of taking state honors, but
when the scores of the season thus far
are compared she stands as an equal
# the Terre Haute institute which is
undoubtedly the superior of Franklin
and at least the equal of DePauw
Earlham will retain her present po-
'ltion for two weeks longer as her
next game is out of the state with
Kentucky U. While she is due for
trimming in this game, it will in no
wise affect her standing among the
secondary colleges of the state and
unless she suffers severe injuries to
her players, it may prove a positive
benefit to her green players who will
hen meet rivals of their class with a
Sreater degree of assurance.
Although Butler was on the verge
of scoring three times in the game last
Saturday, the Earlham line frightened
up in its characteristic manner when
its goal is endangered and held the
Baptists for downs. But in the middle
of the field the Quaker line was eX-
tremely ineffective, being torn asund-
ar time and time again by the Butler
back field
Bogue proved his superiority at the
licking game, easily outclasSing Burk-
hart and Good. who did the punting
for Butler. Although the Butler goal
"as not in serious danger at any time
Turing the game, Bogue made several
,ries at Il goal from the field one of
which, place kick from the thirty
two yard line in the third quarter,
came very nearly going over and win
ming the game for Earlham
The forward pass was little used,
Butler making only two attempts at
his kind of ground gaining, both of
which were successful. Paul, the But
left left half, was the star of the
game, being given the ball every time
it was necessary to gain and rarely
failing to make the required distance
Williams played a star game for the
Quakers, getting the biggest gain his
cam made, by a thirty yard run
around the Butler left end. He shook
off three tacklers before he was down
ed on the Butler thirty yard line
