Hanover ELeUen Next
on Butler Schedule;
Pdgen,en Going Good

Coach Pat Page will point his gridders
toward the game with Hanover next Sat
urday at Irwin field, the second home
game of the season for the Pagemen.
Hanover has created quite stir in
HoOsier grid circles this year by its vas:
improvement over last season and it IS
believed capable Of making the local
warriors uncover q lOt of StuH to carry
OF the donors. Hanover opened me sea,
son by losing to Earlham II t" and
lost to Franklin last Friday by to
0 score. The clOseness of these scores,
however, clearly shows that there Is little
Saturdays game will give a pretty nc
cur te estimate Of Builc: position u
the l. C. A. L. race, which the Pagemen
are favored to win again this year.
Butler squad in beating Rose Poly Sat
urday, 20 to g. was a revelation, and filed
the large crowd who witnessed the game
with admiration. With Griggs and
Woods IN the kicking department, the
Blue and White is as we'll fortified in
this respect as any team in the State.
The Butler backfield Is ideally balanced
and capable of gaining ground against
any opposition the Pagemen will encoun-
ter during the season. The line this year
is heavier than it was last and more
powerful. 1t is not, however, as well
balanced as the back field. Good or
fensive ends are Pages greatest problem,
1t appears at this time. AIiddleswOrth Is
an unusually good defensive player, bu,
none of the ends has shown marked abil-
1ty on the offensive.
A defect showed up during Saturdays
game when a Rose player Intercepted
pass on the side Of the field and raced
for touchdown. The Butler back field
did not back up the throw at all and
when the Rose man once got his hands
on the ball he had a clear field down the
sidelines.
CHICAGO Oct 10-Coaches of big
Ten" football teams began pointing their
squads today for important games that
feature next Saturdays schedule. In
terest next Saturday VIII center in the
Illinois Iowa game at Iowa City and the
Minnesota Ohio game at Columbus.
Iowa's victory over Notre Dame Satur
day caused the Hawkeye eleven to move
up into the spotlight as contender for
the Big Ten" title. Although lacking
couple Of last years stars, Notre Dame
still owns a powerful aggregation. Iowa's
victory Saturday was IL first defeat the
Catholics have suffered in three years.
Illinois won easily from South Dakota,
and is certain to be in shape to put up
a fast game against Howard Jones pro-
teges Iowa has demonstrated. however.
that II has a good defensive team and.
with Aubrey Devine as the leader, its
offensive strength is unquestiOned.
Minnesota had little difficulty defeating
Northwestern, while Ohio fell before
Oberlln. With SCnchcomD ana WOrk-
man missing from the Buckeye lineup.
dopesters are predicting that the 1920
cham ions viii be dethroned while the
1921 season is young. Minnesota, with
Arnold Oss and Martineau. n new half
back. as the stars, shows promise Of be
csming one OF the strongest elevens in
the conference before the season ends.
Chicago. which was unable to dis
play very formidable strength against
Purdue, began work today TO develop an
offensive play for the game with Prince
ton at Princeton, on Oct %. Stagg will
drive his men hard during the next two
weeks.
