While scouts from the camps of every opponent on Indiana Uni versity’s schedule held seats in the I. u. stadium, sly Pat Page split up his group of veterans, interjected some Of his promising sophomores and turned in a double victory at Bloomington, the Reserves taking into camp Indiana State Normal, 800, and the varsity beating Wa bash, 14–0. The scouts expecting to fill a couple of notebooks with Pages pet plays were greatly fooled. They saw nothing more than old-style straight football and some very excellent punting. Wabash Is Stubborn A lack of good punting hurt the Terre Haute squad against the Crimson reserves. Wabash put up a stubborn battle, mostly because they had Indiana plugging up hill, because of the splendid punting by Bayer. Capt. Bennett did some nice ball toting and scored twice. Certainly the two games demonstrated that I. y. is due to upset somebody in a six game conference schedule. Notre Dame eked out a last minute victory over Loyola of New Orleans. That game nearly produced a sensational early season upset for the nation to talk aboCt. The Southerners, veteran group, drew first blood in the second period when Lopez wiggled through the center of the Irish line for five yards and a touchdown. Poor Judgment Used Rockne was using first a regular line and a second string backfleld, and then reversing the system. Ed er skirted an end in third period to tie the count at six-all. The game was about to end that way when Loyola came through with a poor Judgment play. A Notre Dame for ward pass was headed for incompleton in the end zone and a touch back for Loyola. The ball was bat ted back into the field of play and grounded by slow thinking Loyola back. The Irish seized the break and Shay plunged over with the winning touchdown. Saturday night marketing was put off while Cincinnati University followers went out and watched their team hand Hanover a 200 defeat under flood lights. The Hill topperS played much better game than last year and Coach (Red) Money should have his team going strong when 1t hits Earlham next Saturday. Earlham Wins Easily Earlham, with large number of regulars in the lineup. defeated an unusually strong Antioch team at Richmond, $50. The Quakers presented a fair defense, which, how ever, must be strengthened for future games against Indiana opponentS. Concordia was no match for the Muncie Cardinals and Coach Paul Parker used every combination he had In running the count to $40. Valparaiso joined Hanover In suffering defeat outside the State. They lost to Albion at Albion Mich. 1910. Purdue University staged its an nual regulation game between var sity and freshmen. When WEIGH. Harmeson, Caraway, Cook and others finished galloping, the var sity held a So to 6 victory. De Paw. Butler, Rose Poly. Evansville and Manchester did not get into competition.
