QUAKERS SLOW DOWN AFTER STARTING WELL

Burst of Speed in First Quarter Surprises Kentucy Netting 10 Points.

KY. STATE COMES BACK

Center of Earlham Line Develops Fast Effective Attack.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 3. Starting the game with Big Nine speed the Earlham Quakers, Saturday, threw consternation into the Kentucky State side lines by running up a score of ten points in the first quarter. In the second quarter a number of scrubs who had been placed in the line to start the game for the Blue Grass boys, were taken out and regulars substituted, after which the Blue and White came back strong, ripping the Earlham eleven to pieces. When the whistle blew at the end of the game the score stood 28 to 10 in favor of the Kentucky team. Earlham got its points by surprising the State team with unexpected strength and following the ball closely. After the first quarter Earlham had no show at all, although it put up a game fight and made the Kentucky team play hard for every touchdown it made. The center of the Earlham line showed up well, but its tackles and ends were rather weak. Captain Bogue and Halfback Bowen were the stare for the visitors. The line-up: State. Earlham.

CROWDS TO ATTEND BASKETBALL GAMES Y. M. C. A. Officials Make Plans to Fill Galleries on Basketball Nights.

Active work will start within a short time by Y. M. C. A. members to awaken the city to the fact that there will be good basketball games played here this winter. The association proposes to use the same methods as those used by Earlham college to secure financial assistance and attendance of the business men of the city. A large letter "Y" will be offered for sale to each merchant for display in his show window which will show that he is a contributor to association athletics and will incidentally entitle him to admission to all games played in this city. The Y. M. C. A. first team will open its season on the home floor within a couple of weeks with probably either Marion of Portland. It is planned to have the team play two games each week, at home on Wednesday evenings and abroad on Saturday evenings. The All Star team composed of exoollege stars has not yet been booked for games. Season tickets will be offered at special prices to association members, while other special tickets at reduced prices will be sold to boys under certain ages.

IN LASTJUARTER Sheldon's Men Take Game by Lucky Fluke.

MINN

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 3 Ohio State lost its first football game in the Western Conference here Saturday to Indiana by a score of 6 to 7. The score is no criterion by which to judge the ability of the two teams, however. It was Ohio State's game all the way, and it was only by the flukiest kind of a fluke that Indiana was able to score at all. It was a great game. Ohio State Cot away to a lead early in the first period and was never headed until the last few minutes of the last quarter, when Graf, attempting to punt, fumbled the ball, and Fleming picked up the oval and dashed across the State line for the touchdown that won the game. Indiana kicked off, and 10 minutes later the State adherents went mad with joy when Briggs flashed over the line for the first touchdown of the game. Ohio State had advanced the ball from the middle of the field to Indiana's eight yard line by six plays, and Briggs went over on a delayed pass, Captain Grissman then lost the chance for a tie when he failed to kick goal, although the angle was an easy one. During the second and third quarters it was all State. Time after time the spectators were brought to their feet as first one and then another of the State backs would tear off gains or 10, 20 or 30 yards. Twice State put the ball on Indiana's three yard line, only to be held for downs when the necessary distance had to be made. Much Open Play. At the opening of the third quarter Indiana began to open up and the play became more like basketball than football. Every play was a forward pass, with about half of them successful. Twice they worked the ball down the field, passed it over State's goal line, only to have it called back because there was no one there to receive it. After the second attempt the second attempt the State bleachers began to rejoice, as there seemed no possible chance to lose. And then, like a flash, it came. The ball was in the middle of the field. State had the ball, Williman was outpunting Williams 10 yards and the crowd began to sing. Indiana punted right back, and Graf again essayed to fill Williman's shoes. This time he lost the ball, tried to recover it, slipped and fell, and watched Fleming trot down tne field with the ball for the lone touchdown. Becker kicked the goal and it was all over. But to Graf and Briggs and Pickerel and Williman must go the plaudits for the stellar work of the game. Williman was an enigma to Indiana, kickinfi long, low, wickedly twisting spirals that travel far and are hard to handle. Pickerel ran the team masterly, and was good for a gain whenever he carried the ball. Briggs was in the play every minute and made off several good gains, while Graf was a tower on defense, making a good i,0 per cent of the State's tackles.

ILLINOIS CRUMBLES AT MARSHALL FIELD Zuppke's Eleven Takes Lead to Start, But Fails Later.

ESOTA BEATS WISCONSIN 21-3

Badgers Lose Championship Aspirations Under Onesided Defeat.

MADISON, Wis., Nov. 3 Wisconsin's championship aspiration was given its final burial here Saturday, eleven scrappy fighters from Minnesota performing at the funeral. The gophers started slow, but warmed up and completely outclassed the badgers at the finish, winning going away by the decisive score of 21 to 3. Mora than 22,000 fans were present. It was not the sort of a championship game that these enemies of long standing generally play. Fumbles, carelessness in the line and poor interference early made it an individual encounter between such clever men as Shaughnessy, McAlmon, Mattern and Lawler for the victors and a host of back field men carrying the cardinal. Wisconsin played miserably and went to pieces in the second half. Mattern is Never Stopped. Mattern was the tower of strength exhibited by Coach Williams' eleven. He was never stopped, not even hesitated, and when he was relieved toward the finish of the game Minnesota rooters expressed their gratification for his work by a reception such as few heroes are accorded. McAlmon played a star game. He made the first touchdown for his team and afterward gained yard after yard by almost superhuman effort. Shaughnessy was great as a kicker, but he was late leaping into fame, the game being almost over before he dashed fifty yards for the last touchdown. It has been a long time since Wisconsin has put up such a weak showing against a well matched rival. Captain Tandberg was a disappointment. Rated the best full back in the west, he never once earned that name. He was forgetful and a slow thinker and it was his untimely fumble that gave Solon a chance to register.

Eli Bows to Minor Eleven for First Time.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 3. The football sensation of the year was sprung Saturday when Colgate smothered the Yale eleven with a 16-to-6 score. The little upstate college battered the Eli line, forced the play almost throughout and outplayed their big university rivals at every point. Twice they scored touchdowns on the Yale goal defenders and once they lifted a field goal from placement. Yale scored only one touchdown and at no time controlled the situation. The game made new American football historyfl for Yale has never before bowed the knee to a minor college. Only Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and Brown, of the big eastern universities, have defeated the blue, and it was left for Colgate to submerge the university that has won more football championships than all others combined.

ALL BUTLER EYES TURNED ON DE PAUW GAME THIS WEEK

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 3. All eyes of Butler men are now turned upon the game with DePauw to be played here next Saturday. Coach Thomas thinks after seeing the game between DePauw and Rose that Butler has a fair chance to win. A large number of DePauw alumni, residents of Indianapolis, and a number of undergraduates from the Methodist institution are planning to attend the game. By Its defeat of Rose and Wabash, DePauw is the favorite in the betting.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3. Superior speed, power and experience won the University of Chicago football team a 2S-to-7 victory over Illinois Saturday at Marshall field. The pupils of Alonzo Stagg furthered their cnampionship aspirations with a brilliant exhibition of varied gridiron tactics against a team that crumbled after a brave

showing in the early stages. It was another case of an overrated visitor at the maroon strongheld. Illinois was outclassed, so far as the whole battle was concerned, but it threw a panic into the Chicago band by finishing the first half with a score of 7 to 0. A sensational touchdown byQuarter Back Pogue, of Illinois, after less than two minutes of play, was all Coach Zuppke's men had to offer. Pogue Makes 70-Yard Run. Pogue won a niche among western heroes by receiving the kick from Captain Norgren, of Chicago, running through the entire maroon eleven for seventy yards, and Captain Howe got into the total by kicking goal. Aside from this lone feat, the Illinois attack was entirely ineffective, and the line showed well only in spots.

WEST POINT, Nov. 3. "We have met the Army and they are ours." That was the gist of a telegram sent back home by Captain Rockne, of the Notre Dame eleven late Saturday afternoon. And he spoke a mouthful, for the plucky hoosier eleven swamped, routed and beat the West Point eleven, 35 to 13. But this does not tell how much the visitors outclassed the soldier boys. The cadets managed to hold the visitors almost even in the first half, which ended with the score 14 to 13 in Notre Dame's favor. Then the fireworks exploded, for the second half of the clash proved a runaway for the university boys. Picking out an individual star was like selecting the needle from the

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3. Federal league magnates having concluded their two days' session in this city adjourned yesterday with the following announcements. That the league backers have agreed upon a form of contract that will be acceptable to the baseball players' fraternity, and that a number of contracts have been sent out for signatures. That a number of players are now ready to sign contracts. That a number of other players have been approached with fair prospects of securing their signatures to

contracts. j Tnat George Stovall has signed a i contract to manage the Kansas City j

team at a salary in excess of $5,000 a year. May Organize Another. Horace Fogel, who says he was promised franchises in New York and Philadelphia, said he would enjoin the new organization from Droceed-

Ing, and will organize a "third big i league himself. The Federal league I magnates are not inclined to take his i threats seriously, as they say he j could have had these two franchises

nad he showed that he was able to finance them. By the new contract drawn up yesterday, the player has been practically freed from the objectionable reserve clause. If his manager does not care to renew his contract at the same salary, the player at once becomes a free agent. This means that hiss alary man not arbitrarily be cut. Fogel Gives Opinion. Fogel, who was refused a franchise in the league, is outspoken in his belief that the organization will end upon the rocks. He declares that no big league can succeed unless it has clubs in New York and Philadelphia. He also declared that the Federal league magnates are unwilling to invest the required amount of money to make the venture a success.

MANAGERS RETURN FAVORABLEREPLIES Baseball Club Believes Competent Man Can be Signed for Next Year.

Several managers who have been written to by the Richmond baseball club, regarding the prospects of having them assume the reins of leadership of the local club next year have returned favorable replies. Four of the replies submitted terms sufficiently attractive as to warrant further investigation. Sporting editors, in the cities where these men have managed teams, have been written to by the baseball club which is very desirous of full information of all applicants before entering into formal negotiations with them. It is believed replies to all letters of inquiry sent out will be received withbe called to consider them some time in a few days, so that a meeting may this week. The directors of the club are very anxious to get a man who is able to manage men and will prove popular with his players, and will not wittingly consider any manager who cannot measure up to these qualifications.

uame squad did something at some time or other to get into the spotlight. Quarter Back Dorals used an open attach, almost from the start, and the forward passes he sot around the field bewildered the Army's best, at all stages of the battle. Dorais Uses Open Attack. The Array kicked oiT and Dorais started an open field attack, forward passing to Rockne and Flnnegan until the ball rested on the Army's fortyfive yard line. Another pass to Finnegan put the ball in play on the cadets' twenty yard line, and still another, Dorais to Rockne, took it over for a

touchdown. The Army then rushed '

the ball down the field and it rested on Notre Dame's ten yard line when the first quarter ended. Score, Notre Dame. 7: Army, 0. With the ball on Notre Dame's ten yard line, two plays gave the Army the oval at the visitors' one yard line and Hodgsen went over for the score. Woodruff missed goal. Score: Army, 6; Notre Dame, 7. A series of rushes and a forward pass gave the cadets the ball on Notre Dame's five yard line and Prichard went over on the next play and Hoge kicked goal. Score: Army, 13; Notre Dame. 7. Pliska Goes Through. Notre Dame scored again on two forward passes and a rush that shoved Pliska over the line. Dorais kicked goal. Score: Army, 13; Notre Dame. 14. The Army came near scoring again toward the. end of the third quarter, but Notre Dame's line held on the one yard line. The cadets then tried a forward pass over the line. It was incomplete and the ball went to Notre Dame on their twenty yard line. Dorais punted and the Army rumbled, the visitors getting the ball at midfield. Dorais on two runs carried it to Army's fifteen yard line, wtiere the quarter ended.

lapsed Saturday afternoon just before

the starte of the DePauw game with Rose Poly. The game was started after the injured had been removed from the field. DePauw defeated her most formidable antagonist, 14 to 7, and practically clinched the secondary championship of the state. Butler, Earlham and Hanover are still on the Methodist schedule, but the coaches intertain little fear of these elevens. Rose showed up strong at first, making the first touchdown of the game in the first five minutes of play, afterwards kicking goal. From this time on the Methodi6ts settled down to their work and outclassed the visitors for the remainder of the game. During the last two minutes of play Rose worked down to the Methodist two yard line by two forward passes, only to lose the ball on a fumble. Line-up and summary.
