r put onaa burst of speed and
N fairly leap over the ground,
his long legs taking him in tre-
mendous bounds out Of threaten
ing danger? That is the picture
OF Sturtridge of De Paw Satur->
day at Irwin field against Butler.
1t is a picture that some 5000 spec
tators will not soon forget.
The De Paw half back sllirted
the Butler wings with a speed
that could not be matched by
any man on the field. He simply
ran away from every one. His
own interference could not keep
up with him-and he didn't need
it. He out-distanced everybody.
The Gary youth has waited some
time to put on such an exhibition
in Indianapolis, but Saturday was
"Sturtridge Day" He was
threat that never was effectively
stopped by the locals.
The Tigers started almost ev-
cry play from a punt formation
which offejed a triple threat OF
passing, kicking or running. 1t
was an offensive that always had
Butler guessing.
The Irvington eleven hit the DE
PAW line for many first downs,
but it just wasn't the local teams
day. All Of the backs made good
gains. but Northam was the real
star.
That big fellow in his last year
Of competition could not be
stopped on off-tackle smashes.
When Northam feels just right he
is a whale. Ie was feeling just
right Saturday.
The defense of both clubs was
rather weak while the offense
was wording to perfection. This
made the contest one OF the most
interesting seen at Irwin field.
The fans like to see action and
they couldn't complain about
Saturdays struggle. /
Butler played much better ball
than against Franklin, the. week
before. De Paw was not to be
denied, however. The "break" of
the game came when Red
Fromuth's attempted drop kick
was blocked and converted into
a De Pauw touchdown.
So r;t
II looks as though Ohio State
has football club. Those two
O's in Ohio don't mean thing
unless applied to the opposition.
Ohio evidently has taken the
middle part of their name for
slogan and are hitting on "Hi."
Surely the score against Iowa
wasn't low.
. ZINE must give Florida credit.
Ii Sport promoters down there
J are always willing to take a
chance. The latest stunt is
Grand Circuit harness race meet
at Seminole Park on the Dixie
Highway between Sanford and Or
lando. Plans of the Seminole
Racing Club call for 'fifteen-day
meeting. starting on Nov. II.
It will be the first time in his
tory that the harness horses have
gone to Florida after summer cam
paigns in the North. Very at
tractive Inducements have been Of
fered in an effort to get some Of
the best PAGERS and trotters.
The plan calls for no purse less
than $1,000, with no entrance
fees and deductions. In stake
events all nomination fees and
starting fees are to be added to
the purses, which range from
$1,000 to $4,000.

The Acme A. A. football team
is up to it's old tricks again. Last
year the local eleven played five
tie games. SO far this season two
contests have resulted in no de-
cision verdicts Previously the
Acmes and Ferndales went to a
3-9 draw Sunday Az AS and
Tuxedo Bulldogs played Il 0 to 0
battle. Some of these times the
Acmes are going to win or lose a
game.
