Annual Rivalry Game at Irvington — N.D.-Princeton Tops Eastern Card

WABASH AND BUTLER IN LOCAL FOOTBALL CLASSIC Pagemen Rule the Favorite, Owing to Reserve Strength —Usual ‘Pep’ Marks Activity of Rooters. Once more Wabash has arrived in town for a battle with Butler. There was no doubt about the battle part of it, although there was considerable difference of opinion as to the final outcome at Irwin Field this afternoon. In the past two years the local team has nosed out the Little Giants, 9 to 7 and 2 to 0. Those defeats have not been forgotten by Wabash. Butler has not forgotten its narrow escapes either.

With such a condition existing the contest is liable to start out with both clubs very cautious. But should one get a break and score, then a different story very probably will be told. The team which happens to be behind if such a thing happens will open up with everything. There is no doubt but that each team will give everything it has in this contest. Each considers the fray one of the most important on the schedule There will be no holding back. Both squads are in fair condition. The usual bruises are present, but minor ailments will be forgotten in the heat of conflict. Before the struggle Butler ruled ™uite a pronounced favorite here, but many disinterested fans were of an opinion that the game was a tossup. Page has greater reserve strength. The usual Wabash pep was In evidence this morning in the downtown parade. If there was any doubt in the Crawfordsville rooters’ minds about the final result it was carefully concealed.

INDIANA CENTRAL 111 FINEVICTORV University Heights Gridders Defeat Danville Normal, Showing a well-drilled and smooth running team Indiana Central College football eleven defeated Central Normal of Danville Friday at University Heights, 3 to 0. The margin of victory was a place kick by Good in the second quarter from the twenty-two-yard line. The Normal team outweighed the winners, but lacked the co-ordination shown by Central. The ball was in the Danville team's territory throughout the first half and the local team lost a fine chance to score in the first period when a player fumbled on the Normal one-yard line. Indiana Central tried four place kicks, only one of which was successful. The last half was more evenly contested. The visitors threatened only once when Carpenter got away for a long run and took the ball to the locals’ fifteen-yard line. They could not gain an inch however, and a fifteen-yard penalty erased all hopes of a score. Coach George of the winners deserves much credit for such a smooth-working grid outfit. Only two men on the team ever played football before and only one received a letter in high school in the grid sport. The showing of the team under such a handicap is remarkable.

MAROONS FAVORED TO DEFEAT 01 IN HOTSTRUGGLE Big Game of Day in Western Conference Is Staged at Columbus, ■ By HENRY D. FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 25 Facing a def eat that will remove one prominent championship contender the undefeated Chicago and Ohio ! State elevens drew up for the big j game of the Western Conference i here this afternoon, j W'th both coaches refusing to ad- | mit any great hope of winning the | game, it seemed that the issue was j more of a fear of defeat than a confidence of victory. a victory by either team will mean much, as it not only will keep the winner in the race for a while at least, but it will offer a fine chance j for a clear title to the Conference j championship as each team has a I later game with Illinois, which is | running a strong favorite for the i title. | Chicago was picked as a favorite j in neutral quarters and even around I the Ohio State campus there was a ! rather gloomy expression that was I very much in keeping with a gray, | hazy morning. Although Ohio has earned the ' name of the "hitless wonders” because of a weakness in the offensive jin the games played this season, the j Chicago coaches were not boasting i of their chances. They admitted that | Ohio has scored only seven points in j two Conference games, but they j want it believed that they believe that Ohio hasn't shown all their stuff ; and they are awry. There was indication of a com- ! plete sell-out of the huge stadium. A I crowd of 50,000 was predicted at the athletic office. 1 Football Games Today STATE COLLEGE TEAMS Wabash vs. Butler at Irwin field. Earlham vs. Hanover. Franklin vs Rose Poly.

play I can recall having seen in football. Several times during the game Driscoll swung outside Notre Dame’s left tackle and broke loose for long runs. After a few of these sallies, the Notre Dame defense began to widen in an attempt to stop them. This defensive maneuver was at least partly successful, for Driscoll’s gains were materially shortened. Finally Driscoll started again. From the same punt formation. And for the same point outside tackle. But he never struck. Quick as lightning changing his course, seeing that his path was blocked, the redoubtable “Baddy" turned back over center. There he found the hole he was seeking and flashed through, to emerge with only the safety man of the Notre Dame team in front of him. And soon he, too, was sprawled in Driscoll's wake, for the elusive "Faddy” was a past master of the art of dodging. What hail looked like a certain loss had been converted into a touchdown. Quick thinking did it. Seeing ’lds path blocked in front of him, Driscoll did not plunge ahead anyway, Just because that was where he had intended to strike. Instead, he was quick to see where there was an opening and take advantage of it. Driscoll’s feet carried him to the touchdown, ■>but his head showed the way. Brains scored again.
