QUAKERS WIN OPENING GAME ON REID FIELD

Earlham Defeats Hanover on Mud Soaked Field, 18-7; Coach Lewis Pleased. Bv DON WARFEL "If It hadn't been for the mud, we would have won." said Hanover. -if it hadn't been for the mud, we would have made them look like Miami mad us" said Earlham. - But mud, or no mud, Coach Lewis and hia Quaker pigskin chasers, outclassed Coach Miles' artists from Han over on Reid field last Saturday after noon and tied the Earlham count In games for the season, making It two won and two lost. The score was is to 7, Earlhcm. but this does not indicate the decided advantage that the Quakers had throughout the game. One of the outstanding features of the game was the driving force of the Quaker baskfield. With one exception, the Quakers made all of their touchdowns after long marches down the field, with line plunges, in which Ihe Quakers tore through the Hanover defense almost at will. In these line plunges, most of the gains were made by Jessup and Cy Fitts. Time after time, these two men drove through the Hanover line for gains of from one to five yards, and in at least one instance, Jessup plowed down the field through the Hanover line for gains for fifteen yards, much to the delight of the small crowd of loyal rooters that huddled In the grandstand to escape the driving rain that pelted the players for the entire first half. Earlham Loses on Penalties. Earhlam was handicapped on several occasions by the failure of the Quaker ' line men to observe the holding rules, and thirty yards were lost through DenalLles for this offense. Ground was also lost on several occasions, by lack of lieadwork on the part of bnyaer. the Quaker quarterback, who called for end runs in a field of mud. The Quaker backs lost five yards through a futile attempt to gain ground with this play. For Hanover, the work of Paulus, the speedy quarterback, played practically the whole game. Paulus kicked, he tackled and he plunged, and his work in running the team on the field deserves much credit. The only ef fective play of the Hanover eleven was through center, where the ball was carried on their march for the only touchdown of the game. Earlham scored Its first touchdown after about four minutes of play in the first period. After a series of drives, in which gains were made by Pitts, and Jessup, carrying the ball to within two yards of the Hanover goal, Snyder took the ball over the line at one side of the field for bIx points. On the punt-out, Pitts failed to kick goal. Quaker Line in Steadier. For the next two periods, neither side scored, although Hanover had the ball on the Earlham five-yard line. At this point, the Quaker line, which had been showing improvement throughout the game, braced up, and the ball was lost on downs. In the final period. Pitts made a brilliant run for fifteen'yards through the Hanover line, and was stopped on the Hanover three-yard line. He was denied the privilege of carrying the ball over for a score, however, and Hoerner, plunged through for the second touchdown. Pitts again failed to kick goal. A Quaker sub cut off a second chance of the Hanover eleven to score in the fourth period. After the second ' Quaker touchdown, Paulus took the ball and on an end run,

The late Les Darcy was virtually! hounded to death In this country a few short months ago by persons who flung the ugly word "slacker" in his face at every turn. That was before the United States entered into the war. Six months have elapsed since this country declared war on Germany and thousands of young Americans have enlisted in the army or navy, yet among these there has been only one boxer of prominence Joe Welling, who enlisted in the Naval Reserve force. Pete Herman, bantamweight champion, is in the National Army, having been drafted after his plea for exemption was denied. Jess Willard, Mike Gibbons, Ted Kid Lewis, Bt-.nny Lenoard, Johnny Kllbane and others holding titles in their respective classes or generally regarded as leading contenders have all failed to enlist, yet there has been no protest from those who were loudest in their cries against Darcy, who, according to reports from Australia, had a family dependent upon him and was in no position to offer his services to England. Incidentally, it might be remarked that on the night Darcy died in & Memphis hospital, Ted Lewis, born and reared in London, boxed in New York without arousing any protest because he wasn't where he belonged in the English army. "I fussed about in the major leagues for ten years and then I went to work." That is the way Ed Cicotte of the Chicago White Sox explains his sudden and unexpected blossoming forth as the leading hurler of the great American league. To prove this he displays a well-worn belt. This handy article of apparel he has used for three years. Away over toward the fag end there Is a hole in which the buckle was inserted in 1915 and 1916. Not there is a hole four Inches toward the other end. This Is the place where he now wears the buckle. "I am proud of this belt" Cicotte says. "It shows the difference between a pitcher who could wqrk six or seven innings in style and a man who can go the route.

Notre Dame Prepares To Meet West Point

NOTRE DAME, Ind., Oct 29. Acting Captain Frank Rydrewski of Chicago, will lead the Notre Dame varsity to drills such as the squad never before has experienced, in preparation for the annual Army game. The soldiers, with Elmer Oliphant, have beaten every opponent this season, but will meet a worthy foe In Notre Dame next Saturday. After the game with South Dakota West Point scouts did not hesitate to say that Notre Dame had a better team on the field than they expected. What surprised the scouts was the stone wall defense of the Hooslers and the brilliant playing of the backfield. Harper saved fonr of his stars for the Aftay game.' King, Andrews, Philbln and Degree did not participate against South Dakota. Degree, the star punter f who was injured three weqks ago, may play Saturday. His absence in the Wisconsin and Nebraska games was severely felt Allison, quarterback in place or James Phelan, now in the national army, acquitted himself satisfactorily and seems to have the Job cinched. However, Bahan is pressing Allison for the Job. eluded the entire Quaker field, with the exception of Hoerner. who made the prettiest tackle of the game, and stopped the Hanoever star on Earlham's 20-yard line. Here again the Quakers held and Hanoever lost the ball through a fumble. Raiford, who was put in the game for Jessup, recovered the ball, and made a clever run of 40 yards, after which the Quakers plunged for the final score of the game. Paulus Outwits Quaker Subs. Hanover's only touchdown, was made through the failure of the Earlham backfield, to play up to snuff. Clark, who was put in for Hoerner, was outguessed by Paulus, who carried the ball over the Quaker line, and around between the goal posts, while the bewildered Earlhamites wondered what was happening. With the varsity backfield showing strong, and a great improvement in the scrubs, Coach Lewis will .devote this week to the development of the Quaker line, where several holes were still noticeable. .

"I used to joke I did not take baseball seriously. Finally I came to the conclusion that if I wished to be a really good pitcher I must train harder than I ever trained before. I am now at the age when one becomes fat This spring I went to work. I hustled. I pitched often. I did everything that one couia do to make himself more proficient.- The results of this kind of living are apparent in my record. "I have lone been a firm heK that no player is better than his rec ord in the book and I am willing to stand on what has been recorded. The fanB of Chicago were exceedingly kind to me when 1 just went along, and they have been wonderful since I commenced to win." The Denver News prints a story in wnich it suggests that George Tebeau selling his Kansas City club, may re turn to Denver and take over the Bears, keeping them in a reorganized Western league. Tebau back in the estern league would be odd, considering baseball history of fifteen years ago, but then stranger things have happened in baseball and many an old sore has been healed by time. If memory is right Tebeau's former connection with Denver ended when the Western league took his franchise away from him, on the ground that he was trying to wreck the league by assisting in organizing the then outlaw .American Association. Bob Fitzsimmons held three titles simultaneously, middle, light heavy and heavyweight. Yet he never tipped the beam at more than 170 pounds for his most important ring contests. He weighed about 150 pounds when he whipped Jack Dempsey and 154 when he defeated Maher in their first battle. He scaled at 156 for the scrap with Corbett at Carson City and carried not more than 165 when Jeffries won the title from him at Coney Island. For his knockout victories over Ruhlin and Sharkey the Cbrnlshman tipped the beam at 168 and 170 pounds respectively. He also weighed 170 In his second combat with Jeffries on the Coast. He might have been a trifle heavier in subsequent contests, but he was out of the championship runniug.

CHICAGO, Oct: - 29. Reports were current here today .that Albert R. Tearney, known as the "live wire of the minors," maysuceeed Ban Johnson as president of the American league when Ban marches off to war.

Sheckard May Lead St. Louis Cardinals ' CHICAGO, 111.. Oct. 29. Jimmy Sheckard, famous outfielder of the old- Cubs, may pilot the St. Louis Cardinals next season. The St. Louis owners already have approached Sheckard, who is well qualified for the position, and his many Chicago friends hope he will land the place. Last season Sheckard 'acted as scout and coach for the Cubs and gave Manager Fred Mitchell valuable assistance. He knows baseball from A to Z and has managerial experience. having piloted the Columbus club of the American association one season. LIEUT. MARKLEY IS SENT TO CAMP TAYLOR Lieutenant Stephen C. Markley, of Richmond, has been transferred to the base hospital at Camp Taylor.

Coach Stagg of the University of Chicago is having his worries in building up a title contender in the western football conference this season chiefly because the most of last season's veterans are now serving Uncle Sam. Of the seventeen men to receive varsity letters last fall only four have returned and around these a team must be built up of the second string squad which in the early games so far remains something of an unknown quantity. Captain-elect Pershing is in the ordnance department Captain Jackson is in the marines, Gordon at the Great Lakes training school, Norgren and Schafer at Fort Sheridan, Graham in the Urbana aviation school, Hanisch and Cahn are driving ambulances in France, McPherson in the Red Cross, Fisher in Canadian government work, and Agar, Knipschild and Fluegel are graduated. Sellars, Marum, Stezer and Whyte are subs of last season now serving. Most Important among, the men who are forming the strength of the Maron team this fall are Brelos, a veteran end; Gorgas, guard; Parker, end; Bondzinskl, guard; Higgins, all-western end, and Rouse and Kahn, freshman stars. Elton and Jackson, freshmen last fall, and Harper, who has been second-string center for two seasons, complete the little group upon which Stagg is founding most of his hopes. Block!, , a youngster, has been doing some beautiful punting in the early games this fall and looked great against Purdue in the game a few days ago. Coach Stagg's plunging game has been getting results and Stagg hopes to spring a number of surprises in the conference race this fall. The Kaiser thought America didn't mean it when Congress declared war. He" will change his mind when he learns that 22,000,000 American women have signed the Food Administration pledge.

(By a Football Coach.) My team this fall is a little light. All of last season's backfield is in the army and all of the linesmen are in the navy. Or maybe it's the other way round.
