Sept. 22. — (United Press)—With three prominent college elevens and the powerful Notre Dame machine scheduled to see action this week, Hoosier football camps were scenes of marked activity today as opening games of the 1925 grid season drew near. While all of the contests carded in Indiana Saturday are termed practice affairs for the stronger teams one of these games may prove a severe test for the Hoosier opponent. This clash is scheduled for Greencastle where the DePauw team will engage Bradley Tech, of Peoria, Illinois. I With a new coach in charge and fine prospects for a strong eleven the DePauw Tigers are confident that they can turn the trick Saturday and send Bradley back to their home field beaten in a decisive manner. According to reports coming from Peoria, the Tech squad is equally optimistic over the outcome and promise a surprise for their Hoosier foe when the two elevens meet at Greencastle. The Noire Dame-Baylor tilt at South Bend should also prove.of unusual interest as it will give the state f raternity an opportunity to gage the strength of the new Rockne eleven. Other state attractions scheduled for the week end Include the EarlhamButler game at Indianapolis, the Han-over-Wabash game at Crawfordsville, and the Indiana Central-Franklin scrap at Franklin.

(The Fourth Down! BY WILLIE PUNT

AU present or accounted for at Yellow Jacket practice Monday evening. There were no casualties in the Auburn game except for a few sore muscles, one or two chariey horses, a black eye and a sprained ankle The Yellow Jackets made nine first downs to four for Auburn Saturday. All of which speaks well for the locals. The Decatur-Auburn game here Saturday was unusual for an opening vatne in one respect, namely, the small number of penalties imposed. The Yellow Jackets received no penalties while only two five-yard fines were tacked on the visitors, one for off sides and one for the backfield being in motion. Penalties are numerous in opening games, as a rule. Led by Harry Stuhldreher, Notre Dame's All-American quarterback last year, the Providence Rhode Island Steam Rollers defeated the West Point artillery eleven last Sunday, 127-0.
