DE PAW HAS BIG DAY
ny HEZE CLARK.


While some Of the Indiana schools have
open dates on their football schedule Sat
urday. there are others which have i'm
portant contests scheduled. Four games
between Indiana college elevens will have
4 direct result on the State championship
race.
Butler meets Earlhsm, De Paw plays
franklin, Notre Dame clashes with VAL
paraiso, and wabash will be Rose Poly s
opponent. Purdue and Indiana rest Sat
urday.
Indianapolis football fans will watch
Butler and Earlham at the Butler athletic
field That is sure, to be a bitterly
fought contest. Last year Earlham de-
feated Butler, 8 to o. That game was
played at Richmond. This year Coach
Move brings his Quake1s to Indianapolis
fresh from their three victories over
Hanover, Wilmington and Rose Poly.
The latter game was won by Earlham by
1-to-6 score in a hard-f0ught battle last
Saturday at Richmond.
Coach Pat Page did not have material
at Butler which, early in the year, would
indicate that he would have a chance
against team as strong as Earlham- The
Butler men lacked experience The Blue
and White hit tough team at the very
start of the season when Wittenberg,
the champions Of the Ohio Conference,
won by q 20-to-0 score. However. 1t ap-
peared to be a game in which Etter, the
star half back of the Ohio aggregation,
thing about that game, from a Butler
standpoint, was the fighting spirit OF
Pare men.
Then came the Hanover game. Butler
seemed to be Just finding its scoring
power After Hanover scored in the
opening quarter, the Blue and White
athletes got busy and with an offense
that showed promise Of developing into
a great scoring machine, Butler piled up
a top heavy score.
The Wilmington team invaded Indiana
three times and Franklin started by pill
ing up a 55 to 0 count against the green
jerseyed aggregation and EarIham also
piled up big count against Wilmington
Then came the "a to victory Of Butler
over Wilmington. Butler never made
that score as large as Butler could have
made It. but the size of the score indi-
Gates Butler has offensive strength.
STRONG DEFENSE
WILL BE NEEDED.
How about Buffers defense? That is
probably just what Is in Pat Page
mind today. His team has had no real
defensive test since the Wittenberg
game. Some followers of the gridiron
sport seem to fear that possibly But
Ter has developed a maehine-like ofense
but has not had the opportunity TO de-
yelop its defense.
Butler will need a strong defense
against the Quaker eleven. The strength
of Coach Moves team lies in its big,
powerful line, and 1t would appear that
Earlham has a shade on Butler in the
line, in weight at least. However, the
Butler students are eOnsoling themselves
with the old saying, "a strong oHense Is
the best defense At any rate there
will be a great battle at the football heId
in Irvington Saturday.
s'Ofd Gold day" at Greencastle VIII be
celebrated by football game between
De Pauw and Franklin Last year the
Tigers won BY the margin of one touch
down. scored early in the game. Coach
Buss and Coach Thurber both point their
teams to this annual contest and the
game Saturday is sure to be good one.
Last year the two teams met on muddy
field in 4 driving rain and the players
Of both teams could not snow their best
This year the field will be dry and a
great game of football is sure to be
played at Greencastle when the Baptists
meet the Tigers.
Wabash vs. Rose Poly at Terre Haute
is game attracting State wide attention
Wabash held Chicago in the first period
Of the game on Stage field last Saturday,
but the MarOOns swept over the strug-
Cling Little Giants in the last three per
iods. Coach Vaughan has had bad luck
on injuries at Charlottesville and it is
hard to say just what shape the Wabash
team is in. Coach Lefty" Gilberts has
lost two tough-Iuek games this season
Rose lost 10 st. Louis University, ) TO o.
and TO Earlham, { to 8. The Engineers
viii be out to do a comeback Saturday
and the game with Wabash will be q
battle. Last year Rose and Wabash met
In rain storm and the field looked like
lake The score was TO D with three
minutes to play when Wabash scored q
field goal and then a touchdown.
yALPO GAME
TO BE WATCHED.
Many football fans are wondering
what viii happen at Notre Dame when
Valparaiso meets Coach Rockne's com
bination. Valpo has slipped into the
center Of the football map in the West
In just two years and Valpo PLAYED
Harvard to a 0-to-0 tie in the opening
half this season, though the eastern
school scored q to 0 on the Hoosiers in
the last half. Notre Dame won its first
games by top heavy scores and then de-
feated Nebraska at Lincoln last Satur-
day This indicates that Coach Rockne
again has a powerful eleven.
There is one game not played by In
diana teams, but which is attracting ma
tion-Wide attention. That game is the
Harvard Center College (Ky.) battle al
Cambridge Saturday. The Indiana foot
ball fans are watching Centre, as 1t is a
western team and is scheduled to play
there are who believe Centre will defeat
Harvard However, Centre will not equal
the eastern eleven in the line and the
difference in weight is sure to give Har-
ward a great advantage. RED" Roberts
and "BO" McMillin, the Kentucky bach
field stars. will trouble the eastern ath-
letes with their speed, forward passes
and trick plays, but still the advantage
Of Harvards line gives the easterners
