w The Fourth Down ZL ■ v By Willie Punt With the Bluffton game not history, the Yellow Jackets are determined t» make North Side pay tom trow for Wednesday’s defeat. Eair weather is forecast and a big crowd sh: aid witness tomorrow’s game. The Redskins ate playing their first year of football, but they have been making nice improvement under the coaching of Mark Bills and they are expected to provide plenty of opposite n tomorrow. A game that will attract much attention tomorrow is tW Columbia CityKendallville battle a Kendallville. The two teams ar? tied for the lead in the Northeastern Indiana conference. Bluffton sport writers and columnists were very nice in their writeups ami comments on the game here Wednesday. They were good winners. We were willing to let by-gones bo by-gones until our good friend Rip Offs in the Bluffton News dwelt at length on the fact that this was Bluffcon's second victory over the Yellow Jackets and that the Tigers won last year, 3-0. Going back a little further, the score of the Bluffton-Decatur game in 1925 was Decatur 12; Bluffton 0. In 1922, it was Decatur 32; Bluffton. 0. No games were played between the two old rivals in 1923 or 1924. Total scores in the last four ganres between the two elevens: Decatur. 50; Bluffton, 17. We now turn today's column over to the Bluffton scribes; "If we weren’ possessed of surpassing modesty we would lay emphasis on the fact that we predicted in the column yesterday that ('oat h Louis Means' ( proteges would win over Decatur by a count of 14 to 6, but as it is we shall just merely call it to your attention and will no dwell on our forecasting adroitness. However, if any fans contemplate wagers on future games we shall be glad, after going into a seance to advise them as to which team will win and what the score will be. Only private audiences granted. (Adv.) O Happy Day! •■J y urn -1 red and ut ■ reigned in ..li parts of this locality v hen the pleasant word t ame that the Tigers had trampled on the aspiring Yellow Jackets the way they did. The count was net overwhelming, but was decisive enough and fans in every corner gave copious vent to their feelings. Several hundred Tiger looters had journeyed to the game and there were many more hundreds at homo win were just as intensely interested as those on the lines of the field of battle. From 3 o'clock until 6 o’clock the Evening News telephone rang continuously, due to fans calling for the score. Many stayed at this office until th<- final score was received and then there was wild exclaim among them. Autos loaded with fans returning from Decatur joyously tooted their way into Bluffton. It was a great victory for the Tigers and we heartily compliment them one and z all, including Coach Means. Good Sportsmanship “Despite the intense rivalry that always exists between the two schools fine sporsmanship was displayed at every hand. It has been said that a good loser takes away half the joy f.-om the victor and Decatur was what we say a good loser. Their team fought va’iantly especially to stake a winning rally in the last quarter, and that they are a highly competent outfit is without question. Everything went off nicely—without a ripple. It was a game taught with the highest degree of ri(alty and avoid of any undesirable fragrannies among the fans.” —Rip Offs, Bluffton News. Hooray! “The Tigers climbed above the clouds for sure yesterday when they won from the Decatur Yellow Jackets in the annual game, which in itself decided whether or no’ the season has been a success. As predicted before the game, the contest was hardfought throughout, with both teams putting every ounce of fight and energy they possessed into the battle. Over 1,000

Northwestern University’s Pass Attack Too Much for Stagg By SOL METZGER Bl AT CHICAGO!" was the slogan at Northwestern last season, and North wi stern surely administered a pasting, winning 38-7.

• • • v • i; i The I-ay was splendidly conceived and is an unusual typo of forward pa s. From an unbalanced line, from which Northwestern jiad a nicely working reverse play, the play started just as the reverse, the ball coming back to Levison. No. 2. who turned . nd passed it to Gustafson. No. 4 back, ' the latter continuing his run to the short side, giving ground i- order to avoid being rushed. Lewis. No 2. after handing the ball to N 4. protected him from the rear. The No. 5 guard and No. 3 back were u s‘d to block (he I defensive end and tackle. No. ti. tied, went straight dow n and then cut in to I draw with him the defensive htf'f on that side. 1 That was the plat, of the play. Its success, however, depended on 'Moon Baker. No. 1 back. Bakety instead of beating it straight off to the left to take the | ass. first gave a line exhibition of trying to take out tile Chicago right end, running straight at him and then swerving just nside him to avoid c< nlact. Baker continued to hear to the left and fially caught a pass from Gustafson in open territory. Passes played to ends or backs wiio break at sharp angles arc favorite ones. Tomorrow I want to shew how a small team, Richmond College, Va.. bioke up a great passing attack worked by Furman, an attack that has records of victory over such strong Southern teams as Georgia. Virginia and Florida. t

fans, many of them f.om Bluffton, wit-'] nessed the battle and all were well i satisfied with the playing of the teams. I Both teams f light hard and the fans from both cities have a right to feel . . proud of their teams. Bluffton fans' i were unusually jubilant, for the Tigers! came through with the vict try, the to-J ken of all the gio: y. and fame that goes with an athletic contest, and one i that will long be remembered—at least until the annual clash in 1928. Were Great Hosts "Bluffton fans all reported fine treatment both before, dining and after the ■ game. ’More than 1.000 footlaill fans saw , the game at Decatur yesterday. Between 200 and 300 Bluffton fans motored i ver to the game and they sure ' made their presence known. The Yel-1 low Jackets are to be congratulated , on their field. It was in fine shape yesterday, smooth and fas:. Plenty <f iy diawbaek that we could see was the Lo t that a la.ge number witnessed , the game from the bridge and the , highway. | | "Decatur had a tough break when t Billy Bell, star quarterback, was forced out of the game in the fourth i quaiter because of injuries. Bell was j the <Tensive treat of the Yellow Jack- i ets, and aftet his removal from the , game, the Decatur scoring punch was missing. "Decatur was all dressed up for the game Wednesday. Colors of both sch ails were flying from flag poles all over the downtown district, autos were decorated and the field itself was decmated. Ail the st' res in the downtown ! district were c losed at 3 pin. and everybody went to the game.” —Gridiron Djine, Bluffton Banner.
