The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-10-06

1t was perfect night Tor 1OOC-
ball and a large turnout Of grid
fans was on hand to watch the
north side warriors in their second
start under the new coaching re-
gime of Paul (Tony) Hinkle and
Wally Middlesworth, or to cheer on
their favorite Franklin eleven.
AS for the game, the Grizzlies
from Franklin were never in the
contest save maybe five minutes in
the second half. Seemingly con-
WINGED that with an eleven more
experienced than the one that de-
feated Butler 1872 last year and with
practically all those same players
intact in this years machine, the
result would be a victory. Franklin
appeared confident before the
game.
Pile Up Early Lead
But a determined, fighting and
poppy gang of Bulldogs broke loose
from the pregame pep talk by
coaches Hinkle and Middleworth
and went charging down the ramp
on to the field. They kept right on
charging until they had two touch
downs in the first quarter and one
in the second for an 1870 lead at
half time.
Shortly after the opening kickoff
the teams engaged in an exchange
of punts and Butler gained ground.
A long pass to Bats was good for
twenty yards and then big jim
Wulle went daShing wide around
his own right end and reached the
goal in the corner of the gridiron.
Within the next ten minutes the
north siders scored two more. Again
an exchange of punts gave the local
collegians an advantage. Again a
long pass to Bats was successful to
carry the oval to the Franklin
2O-yard line, and the driving tactics
of Buffers back field, particularly
Wulle, Stewart and Costas, earned
its destination when Wulle crashed
off tackle for his second touchdown.
Another Drive Launched
Franklin was still playing deep
IN its own territory after the next
kickoff and was forced to kick to
midfeId. This staged a setting
for Buffers third touchdown drive
of the first half and the real yard
age produced was a pretty pass and
catch by big Ed O'Connor and he
carried the ball to Franklin's f1f-
teen-yard line.
Wulle hit the line for nine yards,
but the Grizzlies were beginning to
fight and the Bulldogs had difficulty
getting the last yard. They made
il and first down on the courtyard
line and then a penalty on Frank
lin carried the ball to the vineyard
line, whence Butler scored, but only
after four efforts.
Franklin drove Butler back on two
PLAYS. Then Simpson battered his
way through and the ball just got
over the line on his effort. On all
the tries for points after touchdownS
in the first half Bob Stewart S
placements were either wide OF the
uprights or blocked.
Franklin looked like a different
club in the third quarter and once
punted the ball out of bounds on
the 5-yard line and had Butler IN
the hole. McCarty reeled of a
couple of good runs and the Frank
lin defense was tougher to pierce
as the visitors held Butler scorelesS
in the period.
Stewart Goes Over
Franklin had reached the Butler
25-yard line as the quarter ended.
On an exchange Of punts in the
last period, one of the bounding
ovals struck the Franklin safety
man in the face and Butler recov-
cred on the Grizzly 8-yard line.
Musgrave picked up five yards and
Stewart the remaining three for
Buffers fourth counter. Stewart
place kick was good on the last try
for point.
Buffers forwards played fine ball
against Franklin's powerful line
men, and. coupled with fine play by
the ends, enabled the Butler de-
tense to smother the fast Franklin
backs. Wulle did some fine kicking
and Costas used good field general
ship.
The sweeping Butler offenSe at
the start took the invaders of their
feet. and as one old Butler grad
expressed himself after the game,
the Bulldogs played the best game
have seen them play since 1922.
