Ioimeu DICK neld that was revela
ton to the spectators The quartette
skirted the ends and charged the line
IN a manner that showed plainly the
power or the Page attack On one oc-
caslon Graham received the kick off and
ran through the entire Hanover team
TOT touchdown Hungate, Black and
Phil Brown played well in the Butler
line. The one redeeming feature in the
play of the Hanover eleven was the work
OF T. Van Antwerp at quarter. The lit
tie quarter back, with Butler players
swarming in on him, got his punts away
from pocket time after time for an aver
age or forty five yards. He was the only
man on the visiting eleven that showed
either the ability or inclination to tackle
EAST THINKS
WELL OF WABASH.
wabash won the praise Of Eastern
football critics by game exhibition
against the Army Saturday which re-
suited in p to victory for the Cadets
The final score does not begin TO tell OF
the battle put up by the HOosier eleven
less tie, all of the Army scoring coming
IN the third quarter. In this quarter
wabash weakened and the Army seized
It's opportunity to put forth a supreme
effort and showed three touchdowns over
| the wabash line. An analysis of the
game shows that both elevens gained
| about the same amount of ground. The
| wabash line was a revelation to the
| soIdlers, lew gains being made through
it.
De Pauw Saturday took another step
| toward erasins the bad impression made
by the Notre Dame massacre when the
I Old Gold warrior slammed Yalpo for a
| Al TO victory. AS little is known about
! the strength OF Valpo this year De Paw
/ packers cannot figure too strongly on the
/ strength Of Saturdays victory, but a
| Al to defeat of any Indiana college
eleven Is not to be under rated. Not so
much by the score but by the actual
! performance of the members of the team.
I De PAW clearly demonstrated that il
has come back and it is safe to predict
! that by the end OF the season Walker s
| team Will have reached the standard held
/ by De Paw teams of the past. The oc-
easion Saturday was Old Gold day at
| De PAW and a large home coming crowd
cheered the victory.
About the only real upset OF India ma
college football Saturday occurred when
Rose Poly, following its 20 to defeat ut
I the hands of Butler, outplayed, and out
generated the heavier Franklin eleven tor
| a 1O to U victory, In the first home appear
ance OF the season of the Engineers. AT
! Of the scoring was done In the first quar-
/ ter, Rose showing over touchdown and
then kicking goal, which WAS shortly fol-
lowed by beautiful forty yard place
kick by Gilbert. franklin twice had the
Rose players braced savagely and held
| for downs.
! Had the work of the Purdue team Sat
! urday been half so good as that of the
I famous Purdue band before the game,
/ the large crowd which packed every inch
( Of Stuart field would have been treated
/ 10 a great gridiron battle.
| Purdue fans breathed a great sigh of
relief when Coughlin was called back
/ in the first quarter after going twenty
yards through the entire Purdue team
for a touchdown. and the Notre Dame
team penaliZed five yards for offsde The
sigh though when in four more plays
MOhardt went over for the first touch
down of the game.
I As usual, Colonel 'Birk was the best
man in a Purdue uniform. He was In
I there every minute, fighting as hard at
the last Of the game as at the first. He
was in every mix -up. either at the top
or bottom, and usually 1t was the bot
tom. The length of a NOtre Dame gain
was directly proportional to its distance
I from Birk.
( Notre Dame has enriched the great
game Of football by bringing to light a
new and distinctive play known as the
tumble play which was tried out with
! great success against Purdue. The play.
although comparatively simple, proved a
( great ground gamer for the Irish. The
( play in brief was this: Notre Dame
/ back at the start Of a play would FUN
BILE. The ball would roll ten or twelve
| yards through the Purdue line and then a
| NOtre Dame man would fall on It for q
substantial gain.
Another unusual method used by the
| Irish to gain ground was to get a long
punt away for fifty or sixty yards and
/ then run down and fall on ii after a Pur-
due man had successfully beaten the ball
/ away from him. Purdue soon foiled this
method Of attack, however, by refusing to
/ touch the punts at all, prefering to pu,
the ball back In play on the twenty-yard
line after 1t had rolled over the goal line.
! Mohardt was to Notre Dame what Birk
/ was to Purdue. The work of the fleet
/ Irish half back was the best seen on
! Stuart field in a long while.
The famed Irish aerial attack was kept
fastened to its moorings throughout the
contest. The Catholics attempted only
one short pass, which was competed.
/ Purdue also tried but one pass and it
was not completed. The failure of the
/ Boilermakers to open up when hopelessly
defeated surprised spectators, for efforts
to drive through the Irish line were futile
! In every quarter with the exception of
the last.
stands was Of high order. The students
Loyalty supported a losing team Satur-
: day. when Purdue finally does break
loose and win a big football lame, La
fayette is going into a state Of eruption
that will make Russia !G2k like Zion
/ City.
When the Purdue team came back on
the field at the start Of the second malt
on the short end Of q 80 to 0 score every
man In the Purdue stands rose to his
feet and cheered and sang, the band
I played Hail Purdue" yell leaders went
I into commissions and, In short, the team
was accorded all the glory of conc uerlng
heroes. The demonstration seemed to
put a lot of pep into the Boilermakers
for after starting off with a couple OF
fumbles they settled down and held the
/ invaders to 3 points in the rem3inin &
half.
Coach Dietz was always standing on
the sidelines waiting to throw his arm
around the shoulder of n man leaving
the field and slap him on the back with
a few words of encouragement
! On three different occasions when Pur-
due was forced to punt standing on its
own goal line, the loose playing Of the
Boilermakers came to light. Twice the
punt went straight up in the air and the
! third time three Notre Dame men broke
! for q touchdown.
The fact that Purdue was penalized
| twenty yards as against 120 for Notre
Dame is the biggest thing that can be
said about the play of the Lafayette
