The White Sox on the other hand

Alumni for their game playing, and the
speed which they showed.
The old Purple and White spirit
was there in big gobs, and Evans,
Beach, Wells and Hancock tore up the
regulars aided and abetted by Devero
and a line that showed evidences OF
knowing the game and not having lost
an ounce of cunning in the few years
that separated most of the fellows
from participation in the game.
1t is hard to pick a star in the old
timers lineup. Evans made substantial
gains every time he got the ball, so did
Bud Beach, and Hancock has lost none
OF his cunning when ii comes 10 broken

in splendid fashion and his passing
was splendid. Devero played flashy
game and there were Buck, kinnaman
Odell, Stadler, Sargent and Shaffer TO
help these backfield stars shine bril-
liantly. Pyle, was loaned TO the
Alumni to play center in the first half.
The regulars played good football,
although Wyllie and Douglas We're
both out of the lineup. Edward Rich
played center, and played it well con-
sidering it is his first attempt at the
game in a purple and white uniform.
Ebersole showed up like a brilliant
meteor at all stages of the game, and
he was putting fighting pep into his
men every minute. Abel did some
good work in pulling down some passes
that were meant for the other fellow,
and generally conducting the team to
advantage.
No Scores For Three Periods
The first period was unproductive
of any scores for either team. The
regulars found the oId-timers giving
them . fight at every turn OF the
game, but they fought them back with
a rush In the second quarter the
old-timers gained considerable ground
on runs by Evans and Wells. When
ever they carried the ball into the
regulars territory, however, the var
sity strengthened and the ball usual
" went over on downs, and Ebersole
punted out OF danger. Devero and
Evans tore off a couple of good runs
in this quarter. The ball was in
mid-field as the quarter ended.
