EekersaH Hurries Game.
Walter Eckersau, former Maroon
star and nov reputed TO be one of the
greatest football authorities in the
country, was present in q big white
sweater and refereed the battle. The
only thing that can be said 10 Walters
credit IS that he kept the boys going
and put the game through in short or
der. but better officials have been seen
here this fall His greatest fault lay
in not watching the plays close
enough. Toward the last part OF Inc
second half the Indians started on {
steady march down the field. blowing .
Evanstons center for repeated and ,
substantial gains. and it looked for ,
time as though they would score. In ,
