QUAKERS LACK PUNCH
TO PUT ACROSS WIN
over HANOVER TEAM

Haover dropped Earlham 19 to Q on
Reid field Saturday afternoon in the
annual Quaker Homecoming game
The game was closer than the score
indicates and it was only by virtue of
two blocked punts within scoring dis
lance that the down-state team got
away to winning lead Earlham
scored the first touchdown after about
10 minutes of play and 1t seemed that
the Quakers had the stronger team.
Hanover put across a touchdown early
in the second period which eyened the
score. Hanover got the breaks twice
in the third quarter which put across
her other two markers. The Quakers
fought hard all through the game but
seemed to weaken in their organiza-
ton after the first Hanover touchdown
and. lacked the punch to come back
strong.
1t was Homecoming Day at the
Quaker college and the whole campus
and all the buildings were decorated
in Maroon and White, the Quaker ath-
letic colors. Maroon and white bal
looms added a blaze of color to the
rooter section and the goal posts were1
wrapped in the colors of both Hanover
and Earlham. The long drive from
National Road to Earlham hall was
bordered with maroon and white to
guide motorists to the scene of the
afternoons conflict.
Hanover Entertained.
After the game members of the Han
over team spent the evening at Earl
ham where they were impressed with
the spirit of the institution. They
were entertained at dinner in the Earl
ham dining room and invited to the
movie in the chapel atSpight. Many of
the Hanover bunch expressed their ap-
probation of the support which the
rooters gave to the Quaker team. The
Quaker rooters stayed with the team
until the final whistle, fact which
greatly impressed the visitors.
Individually almost all of the Quak-
ers played a good game but were un-
able to get together for strong gains.
The Quakers worked well until after
Hanover's first touchdown and then
they seemed to become demoralized
and lacked good cooperation between
the line and backfield. When the
line would force a hole the backs would
be slow. in getting off and Hanover's
secondary defense would fill the gap
and when the backs would get off fast
there would be no hole in the opposing
that this was to be expected from the
number of new men in the lineup.
The Quakers lost nine letter men last
year while almost all the teams they
have met are stronger than last year.
The men put up good show of fight
and grit but lacked the smoothness
and hard-hitting punch which marks
an older aggregation.
Stanley Plays Well
w. Stanley who started at right end
and held down the wing position until
the final whistle played fine game
and in the opinion of the fans has
won a permanent berth at that posi-
ton His interference is good and he
plays a heady game at all times. j.
Raiford at center played scrappy
game and stayed throughout the fra
cas-. Townsend, who went in for Fades
played a good game at guard, showing
up better at this position than at end.
In the Quaker backfield Hinshaw,
Jones and Shumaker got away for
some fast work at various times, while
Hatfield played a smashing game at
full. scoring the only Quaker marker.
E. Hough, Cox and Van Ampwert
showed up we'll in the Hanover back
field and were responsible for Han
overs gains.
f. Hough kicked off to Hinshaw who
ran the ball back to the Quaker 81
yard line. Earlham failed to gain and
Hinshaw punted to HanoYer's As yard
line. Hanover fumbles and Earlham
RECEIVERS. Two line bucks and for
ward pass, Hinshaw to Hatfield, was
completed and Hatfield raced to the
yard line. Hatfield carried the pig
skin over on the third play. A place
kick by Hinshaw was blocked. E.
Hough kicked off again and after an
exchange of punts Hanover started
a march down the field The quarter
ended with the ball in Hanover's pos
session on the Quaker IS yard line.
Van Ampwert and Hough carried the
ball through the line for first down
and Z. Hough plunged across the
Quaker goal. E. Hough failed for try
for point. The rest Of the second quar-
ter the teams worked back and forth
near the center of the field. The half
ended with the score a tie Sc.
Punt Is Blocked.
After an exchange of punts in the
third quarter Green's punt was block
ed on the Earlham 15-yard line. A for
ward pass and line plunge by Van
Ampwert gained first down for the
visitors and E. Hough crossed the
Quaker goal line the second time. Cox
failed on place kick. E. Hough kick
ed off to Jones who ran the ball back
20 yards to the Earlham 35-yard line.
Here Cox intercepted a forward pass
and ran to the Quaker 15-yard line.
Earlham was penalized 10 yards and 1t
was Hanover's ball on the Earlham
five-yard line Here the Quakers put
r up a desperate fight and held the Wis
itors for downs by few inches. Green
dropped back to punt but Hanover got
through and blocked the kick. Caesar
recovered the ball for Hanover on the
cinder track but it added the final
touchdown.
Cox scored another point by place
kick. Nothing sensational showed up
the remainder of the period.
In the final period Coach Move used
all available combination in an effort
to find a winning combination but was
not successful in scoring against the
DOWNSTAIRS. The last quarter the
ball was kept near the center of the
field and the final whistle found the
bali on Hanover's So-yard line.
