  LHAMITES IN GOOD TRIM NONE OF THE PLAYERS THE WORSE FOR WEAR. FATAL FUMBLES AGAIN Mar the Chances of the Quakers Football Dope. The Earlham team, comparatively fresh after their hard battle on Saturday with De Paw were out for light practice yesterday afternoon. The eleven as a whole has a small collection Of “Charley Horses, Z” bumps, scratches and sore muscles, but considering the sound drubblng that the Methodists administered to them all the players are in good TRIM The fatal fumbling of the back field once more lost the Quakers one if not two touchdowns. An Earlham back was sent over once for a score only to loose the ball to a De Paw man. This same thing happened on De Pauw’s ten yard line. Earlham s defense was weak but this can be accounted for because Of the light line and the “storming’ ability OF the heavy Methodist backs. Summing everything up the De Paw game only goes to show the crying need for efficient back field watching. Inc record Ol TIC IIdllHdl tS”lli la the four games played this season Is as follows: Earlham, O-Wabash A. c., 16. Earlham. 0-Purdue University, IS. Earlham. 6-Indiana NEEDLES, 6. Earlham, Ode PAW Univ. 30. Total Points scored by Earlham- 6; total points scored by opponents So. Some interesting football “dope’ on Indiana teams can now be dis cussed by the local followers of the game. 50 far the three teams that usually fight for the college cham pionship Of the State, Earlham, De- Pauw, and Wabash, it looks like the race had settled down to a runaway affair. De PAW. a nose to the good Of Wabash Earlham was defeated by Purdue. % to 0. Purdue is only able to defeat Wabash 6 to 0 while De Paw rolls up a higher score on Earlham. 35 to 0, than Purdue did. From the showing Indiana, Purdue and Notre, Dame, “the big three’ it looks as though Indiana had the superior team. Still football dope is very unreliable.
