E<dI dAl AiopCo VA DSAAS SooAA'~" 49,
q contender in the secondary champ
ionship, vanished in thin air Saturday
afternoon when the fighting Quakers
were defeated in the game with De-
Paw on Reid field by the score of II
to s. The odds were against the
Quakers Saturday, according to dope
so they made better showing against
the strong Methodist eleven than was
expected.
In reality, the Quakers were defeat
ed by "Dago" Thomas, the spectacular
half back of DePauw, who was put in
the game in the first quarter and was
chiefly responsible for all OF DePauw's
touchdowns. His playing was the best
seen on the local field in number OF
years. The Methodists would have
been defeated had it not been for
Thomas, who was the chief groun4
gamer for the visitors. RoWen, at
quarter, also played a good game.
Rowen Stops Thornton.
Thornton was the star of the Quaker
tnually for consistent gains through
the Methodist's line. Twice he broke
through the entire line but was
stopped by the deadly tackling of
Rowen. Logan also played fast
game but as has been his failing,
especially in the Butler game two
weeks ago, he showed lack of judg-
ment in calling some of his plays.
His open field running, however was
spectacular and several long gains
were made by runs around end.
The heavy line of the visitors seem
ed to be able to hold at will and
consequently every time Earlham got
within striking distance of the goal
line, they were held for downs. Six
drop kicks were attempted by the
Quakers, two of which were success
full, making the only scores. Logan
attempted five of them and Thornton
one, two of Logan's being successful.
DePaUW's scores were made on TWO
touchdowns and one drop kick.
The playing was married by fumbling
on both sides. Earlham, however,
suffered more in this than did De-
Paw Several disastrous fumbles by
Logan resulted in the losing Of the
ball at critical times in the game.
Calvert Plays Well
Calvert who has been shifted to
right guard from the end position,
played good game at that position
Saturday. He frequently broke
through the Methodist line getting the
.DePauw players in their tracks.
The Rugby pass, which has been in
troduced in the East this season, was
used three times by DePauw. The
first time they used it, they lost sew
eral yards. The second time resulted
in gain of five yards and the third
time a gain Of ten yards was maze py
this elusive play.
DePauw made eleven first downs in
the game to Earlham's five. The
Methodist line was much superior to
Earlham's defense despite the fact
that Coach Whiteside has been at
tempting through every means pos
sible to develop a better defensive
machine The weight of the visitors
was a determining factor in the game.
Play Scoreless Quarter.
The game opened with DePauw re-
ceiving the kick Off They made two
first downs Immediately by line
plunges On Earlham's 25-yard line,
ROwen attempted a drop kick but fail
ed, placing the ball in scrimmage on
Farlham's twenty yard line. In the
second Earlham play, Logan fumbled
and DePauw regained the ball on Earl
hams 25-yard line. An attempt at
forward pass failed Calvert breaking
through blocking kick. The ball
then went from one side to the other
neither team being able to gain. The
quarter ended with the ball in Earl
hams possession in the middle Of the
field. Score 90
Earlham was forced to punt at the
opening of the second quarter. The
spectacular open field running of
Thornton featured the playing Of the
Quakers i'll this quarter. Logan at
tempted two drop kicks but failed
Captain Thomas was put in the game
after DePauw worked the ball, through
a series of line plunges, end runs and
two attempts with the rugby pass, to
Earlhams twenty yard line. Thomas
made three long gains through right
tackle and right end, taking the ball
to Earham's one yard line. RoWen
went over for the first touch down
Score DePauw Z, Earlham 0.
Logan Kicks Goal
The second half was featured by two
successful attempts at drop kicks by
Logan after the Quakers succeeded in
pushing the Methodists back to their
fifteen yard line. The quarter ended
