than 1000 Earlham went down TO a 81

fensive of Pages big Bulldogs. on Irwin
field. Saturday afternoon. From the
first it was apparent that the Maroon
and White could not stand up under
the terrific onslaughts of the heavy
hard hitting Bulldogs who out-weighed
the Quakers by an average of at least
20 pounds to the man. Butler had 40
men in suit for Saturdays game. al
most all of whom got into the battle.
Middlesworth, varsity backfield star,
was kept out of the game because of
injuries. Butler used straight football
throughout the game and succeeded in
going through the Quaker line almost
at will. Most of the gains were
through the left side of the line.
II was homecoming day at Butler
and the whole of Irvington as we'll as
the Butler campus was in gala attire
Of blue and white. An airplane cir
cled over the field during most of the
game. 1t dropped a horseshoe wrap
ped in Butler colors but this failed to
land in the field Later a football
carrying blue and white streamers was
dropped in the center of the field by
the airman who dipped to within 80
yards of the ground Earlham's goat
was paraded between the halves as
revenge for the promenade that But
ler's goat made here three years ago.
Reserve Strength Counts.
Buffers reserve strength enabled
them TO keep fresh team on the field
almost all the time. Her substitutions
were not second-string men as might
De supposed, for near the end of the
third quarter after sending in about
eight men at once the lineup was
practically the same as the one which
beat Illinois. All of her men were big
men and at the end of the game the
eleven then playing was practically as
heavy as the one which started for the
Blue and White. Buffers backfield
men were all big and fast. They
probably outweighed the Quaker back
field by 30 pounds to the man. Nor
them who track fans will remember as
the husky lad from Sheridan who won
flrst place in the broad jump at the
state high school meet on Reid field.
last spring was responsible for one of
the Butler touchdowns. II was men of
his size and speed that characterized
the Christian lineup throughout the
encounter.
Three First Downs.
Earlham made only three first
downs in the game. The only one
coming in the first half was the result
OF a Butler penalty. In the final per-
iod Jones who went in for Emslie,
pulled off one of his characteristic END
runs for substantial gain, and then
went through for first down. Hinshaw,
Shumaker and Jones then contributed
short gains. On the fourth down
pass Hinshaw to Shumaker brought
another first down. but Earlham was
held for downs on Buffers Is yard
line. This was the only time that
Earlham threatened to score.
Colby Hinshaw kicked off to Strick-
land, of Butler, who returned the ball
to the 35 yard line. Smashing through
the Quaker line by off tackle plays the
Bulldogs marched down the field for
the first touchdown Nipper went
over and added a point by drop
kick. Butler kicked off. Earlham lost
the ball on downs and Butler com
menced another drive of straight foot
ball, which carried Woods across for
! the second score. Nipper failed on
an attempted drop kick The quarter

Ter scored again. Nipper went out
