Where is Earlham this year?
Although beaten by ST. Mary's and
a team hailng from Hanover, both
of which have heretofore been cOnsld-
cred fairly easy picking, Earlham has
braced up to a considerable extent
and while she can scarcely be consld-
cred a contender for secondary hon
Ors, she may upset some football dope
before the season is over.
While she does not play Rose Poly,
apparently the strongest secondary
team in the state, she will have go
at Butler, Wabash, Franklin and De-
Paw before the season is over. 1t
would seem that her chances of TAX
ing the first three games are fair,
while she should hold the Methodists
to a low score.
Earlham's one best asset is Capt.
Bogue, formerly a halfback, but now
through the eXigencies of the Quaker
situation shifted to quarter. Bogue
is one of the best punters among the
secondary elevens, being surpassed in
this part of the game by only one man
Storms. the Rose Poly full back Ro-
wan of DePauw is good at the kick
ing game, but he shines especially in
the drop kicking stunt.
To Make New Play.
In the Hanover game Bogue got
away a nice one for full SIS yards,
which is good enough kicking for any
college in the country. He was handi-
capped last Saturday in getting off
his punts because he was pressed so
closely by the Hanover players i'm
mediately after the ball was passed,
due to the mistaken idea of sending
down the whole Earlham team under
the punt.
By letting the center Of the line
hold and the ends go down alone Bo-
que will have a better chance to make
a clean kick which will mean gain
of several extra yards. In the game
tomorrow with Butler this rule will
be observed.
Upon Bogues luck in getting some
kicks for extra yards the Quakers are
hanging their hopes of taking the big
end of the score tomorrow With a
wet field and both teams playing a
kicking game the odds are apparently
with the Earlharf1ites.
Butler Plays Defensive.
Butter is playing a strong defensive
game, but the Wabash score cannot
be taken as correct measure of
her ability in carrying the ball as she
was able to retain possession of the
in that contest.
The Earlham line, although rather
weak in the middle of the field, holds
very we'll when the men are drawn
up under their own goal Eight times
this line which was unable to hold
Hanover in the middle of the field,
held that team for downs on the Quak-
err five yard line. The presence of
the elder Thistlethwaite during the
last week has helped the line consid-
erably. Thistlethwaite formerly play
ed in the first line of defense and is
adapted for the work.
Bogue has something of a reputa-
ton as a place kicker, two years ago
sending over five out of eight at
tempts. Earlham tomorrow, however
hopes to be able to play the game
without making an attempt at a goal
from the field.
Ginger Put in TackIing.
The spiritless tackles which charac.
terized the defensive work in the Han
over game have been remedied to
some extent although the present
team apparently will never be strong
In getting its man in the open field
Sixteen men will be taken to Irving
ton tomorrow. but Coach Reagan
hopes to play the entire game through
with his eleven starters The squad
will leave at S:45 accompanied by a
few students. 1t was for a time hoped
that the game might be started at
1890 so that the players could have
an opportunity to see the Indiana-Illi
nois game. but 1t was impossible to
make satisfactory arrangements.
In the last five games, Butler has
won three, running up a total score OF
81 points against Sc for Earlham. In
