DePauw, 2; EarIham, 3.

While some 500 faithful fans alter
nately shivered, sighed and lent vocal
encouragement, Earlham generously
presented DePauw with a 7-S victory
on Reid field yesterday afternoon.
Eleven free passes to first and half
dozen errors in the field tells the
story Of the Quakers initial loss of the
season
The Quakers excelled in the hitting
department Of the game, securing a
quintet Of bingles to but four regis
tered by the visitors. The three runs
that the local collegians did annex
were earned runs which is more than
can be said Of DePauw's scores. While
the markers Of the Earlham aggrega-
ton were due to timely hitting the
counts Of the Methodists, with the ex-
ception of two, were due purely to
the generosity Of the local crew.
Weather Freezes "Pep."
The weather was far too cold for
fast play and this may in some way
account for the showing of the Earl
ham finger Wallace seemed unable
to find himself or the plate. A few
times he did manage to locate the
plate. The men in the infield seemed
to be suffering from frost-bite as they
displayed most woeful lack of pep
The aff1iction seemed to have affected
the fie1ders somewhat, too, as the To-
cal gardeners found considerable
trouble in taking care Of the swats
that did come their way.
DePauw, on the other hand, although
getting but four safe hits, played a
good game in the field and managed
to nip any threatening rally that the
Quakers might start. Sission, the
Ll-A
ent smile, proved effective at all times
with the exception of the fourth, and
then he managed to extricate himself
from bad hole after some slow field
ing Of his teammates had filled the
sacks. Sisson famed thirteen men as
his share of the proceedings and de-
serves credit for the visitors win. But
one error was committed by the in
vaders. and that by Harris, who let d

were each presented with free trans
pOrtation to the first station and
standing room on the paths was at
premium The kind-hearted Wallace
at once proceeded to relieve the con-
gestion by passing Bridges, forcing
home Mr.. Bruder. An infield tap by
Sission showed another Methodist
home.
DePauW Counts Again.
The second stanZa was a repetition

Iiberality Of the Quaker HEAVIER caused
another count to be chalked up to
DePauw's credit. Two free passes and
a clout by Moore counted another in
the third. The Methodists finished
their work of execution in the sixth
frame, when Thomas and Bruder
scored through infield boobies and a
pair of walks.
Earlham enjoyed but one big round
the fourth. AS a starter, Hunnicutt
cracked a safe one past the second
sack, White was passed by Sisson
and Stanley got life on the lone err
ror of the DePauw keystone man.

Way out in left field Moore was seen
to turn and run. Then he gazed at
the speck in the sky and then he ran
some more. And he continued run
ming, too. Things were meanwhile
happening on the paths. Hunncutt,
White and Stanley circled the bags
