FRANKLIN SCORES ON QUAKER ELEVEN Earlham Football Team Defeats Visitors on Reid Field, 17 to 6.

GASTON'S WORK A FEATURE HIS STAR GAME ON DEFENSIVE PLACED HIM IN LIMELIGHT BOTH TEAMS SHOW UP POORLY ON HANDLING PUNTS. (By Tort.) Earlham 17; Franklin 6. On Reid Field yesterday afternoon, Earlham defeated Franklin college, a Blow but scrappy team, 17 to G. The one Kcoro made by Franklin was due to an excusable error on the part of the Quaker back field, the poor throw of a back pass. From the view point of the Earlham rooter "the game was pleasing, not that It was so very well played, but because the Quakers showed decided Improvement in form notwithstanding the fact that nearly all the men still felt the effects of the bruising Purdue , game the previous Saturday. The forwards played lower and charged fiercely, holding the Franklin outfit at bay nearly all the time throughout the entire game. The offense also showed a decided improrement. The . backs bucked the line hard and several spectacular end runs were pulled off. In this line of work White monopolized the limelight, making two long dashes for touchdowns. On the defensive Right End Gaston of the- Quakers, was the decided star. His spectacular work was a feature well worth seeing. the Richmond boy time and time again went through Franklin interfer ence and downed the man carrying the ball. His work attracted particular attention throughout the game as did his work in the Purdue game last Saturday a week. In the first half White of Earlham and Bryan of Franklin had a pretty panting battle, but their good work was marred by the miserable manner Jn which each team handled punts. In the second half there was considerable punting and the Quakers improved in their work of handling the ball, but Franklin still continued to 'perpetrate coarse work. t First Half. t Earlham kicked off. Franklin felt 'out the Quaker defense then punted. Lang sprints by White and Harrell took the ball to Franklin's ten yard line, where the visitors held and punted out. Earlham failed on a forward pass and a quarterback kick and the ball went to Franklin. Earlham held and Franklin punted cleanly, A rapid exchange of punts followed. Franklin finally got the ball and Bryan made two pretty dashes but was brought down each time by the reliable Gaston. Franklin then tried a drop kick but it went wide. After an exchange of punts Earlham started a rally. By line smashes the visitors ranks were torn open, Jones finally squirming over for a touchdown. White failed at goal. Score Earlham 5; Franklin 0. After Franklin kicked off and punts jhad been exchanged, Earlham battered Its way to the Franklin 10 yard line, where the visitors held. Franklin punted out. and Hill of Earlham rushed the ball back to Franklin's 15 yard line, where Franklin again held and punted ' safe. ; Time .was called with Earlham in possession of the ball on Franklin's 35 yard line Second Half. t Franklin kicked off and punts were exchanged. Finally the ball was pass ed to white on a fake kick formation White fumbled but to the delighted surprise of everyone, recovered and ran fifty yards, hurdling and dodging, lor a touchdown. He kicked a lucky goal, the ball striking a post and bouncing good. Score Earlham 11; Franklin 0. Earlham kicked off and after both teams had exchanged punts and had fought desperately with honors even, Earlham started another rally. After pushing the ball to Franklin's 40 yard line White accepted a pretty pass and shot down the length of the field for a touchdown. He' kicked another lucky goal, the duplicate of his first one. Score Earlham 17; Franklin 0. Earlham kicked ? off and Franklin for the first time showed any class whatsoever In offensive work, battering the ball to the Quaker 10 yard fine. Bryan attempted a drop kick but failed. Kicks were exchanged then Earlham started a march for the Franklin goal, this, however, was interrupted by a poor : back pass of Jones to White, ' the ball going wild and dropping Into the clutches of Graham, the Franklin left end, who dashed down the field for Franklin's sole count Bryan kicked goal. Score Earlham 17; Franklin 6. The half closed shortly after this touchdown 1th the ball in rnidfield. Lineup and summary: Earlham Franklin lTaucls ....... tmhe Francis, Morrison Graham !

OHIO LADS SCORED EARLY IN CONTEST BUT RICHMOND THEN SETTLED DOWN AND BUT ONCE WAS GOAL IN DANGER. Steele High, 5; Richmond High, 0. Dayton, O., Oct 17. One of the fast est games that the Steele high school football team has yet played, was this afternoon when it defeated the fast team representing the Richmond high school. The game was played on the Y. M. C. A. field north of Dayton. The side lines was packed with the stu dents representing the Gray and Black, as this game had been predicted to be one of the best of the Beason. There was also a few supporters of the Red and White that had accompanied the Richmond team on its trip to this city. It took the Dayton pigskin rushers just a little over five minutes to plant the oval fairly and squarely behind the goal posts. They did this by a succession of forward passes and trick plays which they were able to work during the first part of the game very effectively. The Dayton team failed to kick goal. At this point the mighty little Quakers took a brace and not again during this half were the Buckeyes able to get within hailing distance of the goal posts that loomed up in the distance. At the close of the half the sturdy Quakers had the ball on the 15-yard line. During the intermission between the halves Coach Horton took his men off the field and gave them a few pointers and cheered them up so that they were more confident The second half opened with Dayton kicking to Richmond. The Richmond team worked the ball to the middle of the field where it lost it on a forward pass. Steele worked the ball down to the goal posts, and here fumbled the ball and Brown of Richmond, by a dive, secured the ball "for a touck tack. This, however, did not give Richmond a score. The ball was taken out to the 25 yard-line, but neither team failed to make any headway. In speaking of the game. Coach Hor- : ton. of Richmond, said. "Well, we srot heat but we made the Steele team work for every thing it got. I feel that we : can beat the team when it comes to Richmond in several weeks. It was anybody's game throughout both halves. I am very well pleased with the work ; or my men. Not the Boy He Wanted. "So you want a position as office boy? 'Yes, sir." "Axe you perfectly truthful? "Yes, sir." -Never tell lies, eh?" "No, sir." "Then yon won't do. I want a boy who can say I'm not here when I am and get away with It." Chicago Record-Herald. Wednesday October 21, is hospital day.

NEW FOOTBALL RDLESJInTORES Plays Introduced by Them Have Done Much to Make Game More Popular.

ADVANTAGES POINTED OUT. GREATEST INTEREST BEING TAKEN IN FORWARD PASS CAR LISLE INDIANS DO MOST TO ADVANCE IT IN FAVOR. From the experimental stage of the last two years the new football rules have come to be looked upon as fixtures, and the plays introduced by them are both successful and popular. It is indeed the increased popularity brought about by the remodelled game which" has caused a demand for tickets this year. Yale and Harvard graduate managers estimate- that about 100,000 persons will apply for seats to (he Yale-Harvard game on Nov. 21, while there are accommodations for only 31,000. The stands were thought to be ample while the old rules were, in force and monotonous line-plunging was the order of the day. Then two teams of about the same strength would spend seveneights of the playing time grinding away through each other's rush lines, gaining the necessary five yards two or three at a time by concentrated mass plays. This was not only a cruel test for human endurance, but a game that gave the onlooker scarcely a glimpse of the ball, and he would have to get most of his thrills out of the direction in which the bundle of arms and legs fell. The ten yard regulation, requiring twice as much ground to be gained in tnree downs, immediately did away with these tiresome close formations and gave us a game easier on the players, with an increased chance for strat egy. At. the same time it so opened up tne play thai trie spectator can now easily follow every formation of the elevens and each movement of the all important pigskin. The possibility of gaining the neces sary distance on end runs and line plays was, of course, out of the question, and so the resourceful rules committee created several new plays, all of which have been tried out and found to work well. These are the quarter back run, the on side run and the forward pass. From the stands the first is not easily distinguished at a glance, for it calls for a formation much like the ordinary end run, with the quarter back carrying the ball. The outside kick on".ftie other hand is quickly recognized, as it goes very low. generally for a short distance, the kicker's team being allowed to get the ball as soon as it touches the ground. This call for great accuracy in placing it out of the hands of the opposing backs, and ves an opportunity for a fine display of dash and agility in recovering the bounding leather. As one side kick poorly attempted gave Princeton her touchdown against Yale at New Haven last November, but a week later in her game against Harvard the blue gained half the length of the field, and a score, after Alcott captured the ball close by the Crimson goal line, from a kick by Jones. Of the new plays, however, the one of the greatest interest and by far the most spectacular on the field today is the forward pass. In writing of the All-American team for 1007 Walter Camp, the well known expert, calls- It an eleven which must first be able to resist the attack by and form a defense to "that all Important feature the forward pass." This, strong ground winner was at first looked on with disfavor by the conservative coaches, as it seemed to leave too much to chance. The play is executed by the ball being tossed forward over the rush line by one of the backs, who must run five yards to the side before he throws it. This short run causes an uncertainty in the minds of the defenders and generally brings in many tacklers to check the threatened advance. Just before these players reach him he passes the ball swiftly down the field, with a motion much like that used in base ball, into the hands of a team mate who has gone forward at the signal to a prearranged position. If the ball is successfully caught, the catcher makes a dash for the goal line, but if, as it sometimes happens, the ball falls to the ground without being touched the passer's side is penalized fifteen yards for the failure. This play was used conspicuously during the championship games last year: but the wonderful Carlisle Indian school aggregation were the players to make the greatest advance toward perfecting it. In their annual game with the University of Pennsylvania the wiry red men repeatedly hurled the ball over the heads of the stock Quakers, and in nearly every case galloped off with it for substantial gains. The result was a signal victory for the Indians to the tune of 26 to 6. After a setback by Princeton, who made up a special defense for the Carlisle form of play, the ' eleven met in succession and defeated Harvard 23 to 15, Minnesota 12 to 10, Chicago IS to 4. In all the games the scoring came as a direct result of the forward pass. Cornell, too, owes much tothis form of attack, as its defeat last season of the strong and shifty Princeton team was due to two long passes by Earle and Walder that carried the play within striking distance' of the Tigers' goal line. For the season of 1908 the wise men of the game are promising even greater things and more sensational developments in this- never failing thriller of the gridiron checkerboard.

WEST POUT PLAYS OLD ELIJLOSE GAME Blue Struggles Hard to Defeat Army Men. West Point, N. Y., Oct. 17. Yale defeated West Point on the Plains here this afternoon by the score of 6 to 0. It was a great game despite summer weather and was won by the Blue only after a grand rally in the second half that simply carried the army ofT its feet momentarily. There was bits of daring running and plenty of hard tackling, but outside of Chamberlain, the Army star full back, who was Injured in pulling down Coy, none suffered other than from exhaustion caused by excessive heat. Though beaten, the army showed that it has material for a grand team and displayed more speed than did Yale. PURDUE JBPBOVES Runs Up High Score on Monmouth Saturday in a Good Game.
