Scarlet Plans Fast 0ffense
Against Rivals Saturday
at Bowl.
BULLDOGS DRILL HARD
Coach Clark Taking No
Chances on Surprise.

Butler and Wabash marked time
today, as interest in their annual
gridiron rivalry classic here Satur-
day continued to climb. Wabash,
much defeated but determined to
brighten a mediocre season with a
victory over the Bulldogs, has drilled
increasingly on a speedy offense.
Butler, held scoreless for two quar-
ters by De Paw, has taken the
scarlet threat seriously, with four
defensive drills in as many nights
of practice.
Renewal of athletic relations with
Wabash this year promises spirited
game and one of the largest crowds
of the season is expected, with the
blue and white school celebrating
Dads day. Kickoff at Butler bowl
will be at 2 o'clock.
Few Injuries
Neither team will be weakened
greatly by injuries. However, both
elevens will start without the serv-
ices of one regular back. CavoSie,
who was injured in the De Paw tilt
last Saturday, probably will be re-
placed by Jarrett in the opening
combination for Butler, while Ions
berry will get the call for Matthews,
Wabash quarter back, who was hurt
two weeks ago.
The Blue defense has shown q
weakness for passes, forward and
lateral, and it is this type of play
that Coach Vaughan Of Walsh
hopes to employ successfully.
Lineup Changed Little
Practically the same line will face
the Scarlet that worked last Satur-
day. Captain Hosier, regular
quarter back, will work at end,
with Brock on the other side.
Schopf and Walsh will be seen in
the tackle roles, Ruff and Heddon
at guards and Puett at center.
Reynolds probably will start at
quarter back, Jarrett and Hinch-
man at half backs, and Watford at
full.
Coach Vaughan of Wabash con-
tinued with his offensive formation
workouts Thursday, taking but brief
time to explain Butler plays as en-
ployed by a freshman squad. The
veteran Scarlet mentor continued to
attempt a revival of the old Wabash
fighting spirit, and has keyed his
squad to high pitch. The entire
Wabash student body will invade the
city with the team Saturday morn
ing.
Groves and Woods, veterans, are
expected to start on the Wabash
wings, with Bjork and CumminS at
tackles, Weingardner and Gale at
guards and Powers at center. Ions
berry will call signals, Weist and
Engle will work as half backs and
Cyan at full.
