Wabash Back From,
Big Leagues to Get
in Trim for Butler
Eastern Critics Little HGzy in
Geography, but They Praise
Teams Effort.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Ind. Oct. 16.-
Back from their jaunt into the big
leagues of Eastern football. the Little
Giants of Wabash College have started
hard practice drive for the big clash with
the fieet-footed Pagemen of Butler Col
lege, Friday, Oct. IS. at Irwin field, In
dianapolis.
At the rate Butler has been piling up
points, it looks as though Wabash Is go
ing to get plenty of opposition when 1t
marches on Iryington and for that rea
son Coach Vaughan has let 1t be known
that he means to keep his warriors hit
ting up a fast practice pace. Wabash
knows that Buffers chief desire this sea
son Is to beat the Little Giants and the
Scarlet gridders do not intend to be
caught mapping.
The invasion Of West Point last week
resulted in a defeat, but due to the fact
that Wabash held the Army heavy
weights scoreless in three of the four
periods the Little Giants won much
team Is a savage outfit OF veterans re-
cruited from everywhere and they be-
came moro savage than ever as the first
two periods Went by and they were still
scoreless. The Army line averaged more
than 200 pounds, but it was a surprised
forward wall when the Wabash line met
their onslaughts without wincing.
The batting rally" staged by the
Cadets In the third period was just one
Of those things" and before the Little
Giants could remobillze their defense the
Army had put over sufficient scores to
win. However, the Wabashers were right
there again In the fourth period and
fought the heavyweights TO a standstill.
The Army team Is made up In some po-
sitions Of players who starred on other
big teams previously and naturally the
soldiers are well posted on every trick of
football. That is why they are so saw
age-they know a lot of stuff and know
how to get away with it under cover.
Mulligan, tackle, one of the Army stars
in the Wabash game, formerly starred at
Columbia University; Garbisch, guard,
last year was the captain of the strong
Washington and Jefferson team and
Wood, half back, learned his stun as a
star at Johns Hopkins. With all this
experienced outfit, however. the Army
failed to shock the Little Giants in three
periods out of the four.
1t was great trip for the Scarlet war
riOrs and they did not mind the bruises
Of the game. They got to see West
CITY. Buffalo and Niagara ' Falls and other HT
points of interest. A Wabash team had
never been East before and the Saturday s
game proved of benefit to the college,
for the reports of the Wabash Army game
were carried In the headlines Of many big
Eastern papers. The defense and hard
fighting of the team was complimented
and the kicking Of Singleton was praised.
Eastern critics thought, however, that
Singleton took up a little too much time
in getting his ppnts away. The work Of
Kessler, Aul, Milstead and Logan in
the line also drew some kind remarks.
Some of the Eastern sport writer's
were a little hazy on the locatfSn Of the
college. They got Charlottesville, Ind,
all right, but one critic referred to the
team as "a ard-fghting vermilion
jerseyied team from the little college on
the banks Of the wabash" Well, YER
million was fair enough; Just SO he didn't
descibe the Scarlet color as violet, and as
for Sugar Greek everybody knows that
Sugar Creek won't object to being
classed as the Wabash river.
