Sports Editor The Star. UTLER UNIVER SITY'S football squad le brated the formal opening of its wonderful new stadium with a track meet. Franklin college saw nothing all afternoon yester-; day but the hurry- opposition. w. The Bull dogs masticated the visiting collegians by the top-heavy score of 55 to 0.

A crowd estimated at approximately seven thousand witnessed the massacre. Figures Tell Tale. There is no better barometer to show how thoroughly the Franklin- ites were outclassed than a study of the actual figures of the game. These show that Butler made the required ten yards or better for first downs thirty times against one successful effort by the visitors. The table follows: FIRST QUARTER.

Their last offensive was broken up in the last minute of the game, a forward pass being intercepted by Montroy, another Notre Dame substitute, after the Middies had battled their way to the fifteen-yard line. This was the third successive defeat for the Naval academy's eleven, which has failed to score a point in three engagements with Davis and Elkins, Boston college and Notre Dame. The Sailors didn't show anything like an effective attack through the first three periods, in which they were decisively outplayed and lucky to keep the Hoosiers from scoring. When they did finally get a hardhitting- backfield combination together in the final period, the scoring punch still was missing. Joe Clifton, the Paducah plunger, counted on as a big Navy ball-carrying threat, played less than three minutes of the opening period, and Harold Bauer, Castree and "Whitey" Lloyd were tho stars in the final quarter thrusts.

(Jhevigny Irish Ace. IHF1L PERIOD Pagemen Outplay Revamped Wolverine Team During Entire Tilt 40,000 Watch Contest. ftprcinl to The Indianapolis Star. ANN ARBOR, Oct. 1,1.

Indiana university tore the revamped Michigan football team to shreds here today and won the first Western Conference game of the season, 6 to 0. Forty thousand fans saw the Crimson machine gain sweet revenge for past defeats suffered at the hands of the Wolverines. Brilliant play by the Hoosier forward wall made it possible for Frank Faunee to score the only touchdown of the battle in the final period. Indiana outplayed Michigan during the entire contest and only the breaks of the game prevented tho Pagemen from piling up a twenty-point margin of victory. Crimson Gains 308 Yards.

The tremendous bruising which the aroused Hoosiers administered Coach Yost's eleven is clearly indicated in the statistics. These figures credit Indiana with 308 yards gained hv rilBhino fnrrinarpH urith aivf ir.fnup for Michigan. Indiana registered in IV rfll lllDU four of which came in the opening quarter. During the last half Michigan failed to make a single first down by rushing but counted on a long pass for one and got another through nn Indiana" penalty. "Chuck" Bennett, Indiana's offensive captain, repeatedly tore througn and around the Michigan team for long gains.

It looked twice as though he was sure to get away but the Michigan isafety man finally stopped him when he was within ten or twelve yards of the Wolverine goal line. Reinhardt did well and Har-rcll's punting and blocking was excellent. Indiana's line was firm throughout and seemed to strengthen as the game progressed. Likewise the drive of tho backs seemed to gain momentum. Instead of weakening in a way which marked the downfall of the Hoosier eleven in its games last season, Pat Page's reserves rose to the occasion throughout the game.

Final Gun Prevents Tally. When the final gun cracked, "Chuck" Bennett was planting the ball on Michigan's twelve-yard line for the final first down of the contest. It looked as though Michigan could not possibly have withstood the attack for a second marker had there been sufficient time. Randolph held Indiana's center firmly against all attack. Catterton broke through time after time to throw Michigan backs for losses.

I'nger outfought the much-touted I ''ommering at tackle. It was a great Indiana lineand a powerful back field against what was said by sports writers to be a 100 per cent improved team over that which wore the Michigan colors last Saturday. Truskowski stood out for Michigan in the line and Rich and Totzke did well in the back field. Indiana's successful drive to the goal came about the middle of the last quarter. Alternate first downs by Faunce and Reinhardt brought the ball to Michigan's eight-yard line, from where Faunce tore through a big hole to a touchdown.

Reinhardt missed the kick. Pat Page substituted fourteen times during the game and each new man did his job thoroughly. Illinois Scouts See Game. The game was spectacular throughout from the Indiana standpoint, though a crushing disappointment to the Michigan followers. A dozen scouts lined the press box.

Seeing Indiana vanish their neighbors on the north, these scouts are taking back advance notice that next Saturday's battle at Champaign with Indiana's neighbors on the west will be a very uncertain affair. Ohio State scouts likewise took word home of a threatened gruelling reception for the Buckeyes in their home-coming game in the Indiana stadium two weeks hence. The Indiana band sustained its rep utation as the "All-American" band CONTINUED ON PAGK 38. During the third and fourth quarters the ball was mostly in Earl-ham's territory. Only determined rallies by the Quakers prevented the local collegians from scoring additional points.

Brandenburg and G. VanRiper were outstanding for DePauw while Ellis and T. Felix played best for Earlham. Lineup and Summary. DePauw (14).

Purdue threatened throughout the game, but lacked the final scoring punch that would have been necessary to dent a typical Spears line. When the Boilermakers discovered that their running attack could not get started, they resorted to an aerial game that gained yardage with great leaps in midfield but was futile in the scoring zone. "Pest" Welch, Purdue's great half back, convinced the crowd of 30,000 spectators of his ability, repeatedly driving through for neat gains with three or four Gophers clinging to his back. Minnesota started the scoring in the first quarter on a freak short forward pass that found the Boilermaker secondary defense blocked out and allowed Hovle to race forty yards for a touchdown, Olson blocked Brockmpyer's attempted place kick for the point after touchdown. Purdue adopted daring tactics in the second quarter that resulted in an extra 2 points for the Gophers when ('apt, Gibson broke through the lloilermaker line and threw Welch for a safety as he was attempting to pass from behind his own goal line.

Minnesota, with Nagurski, the Gopher giant, and Brockmnyer, new half back flash, playing prominent roles, finally drove down the field to the Purdue ten-yard line, where the Boilermakers held for three downs. Just when Minnesota seemed stopped, a pass caught tho Purdue defense napping and placed the ball on the one-yard line. From there, Nagurski slammed through center for the final touchdown of the day and Brockmeyer added the point after touchdown with a place kick.

Once Purdue secured control of the ball, the Boilermakers again launched their daring aerial offensive that had the fans gasping, but added nothing in the way of touchdowns. I.lneuji and Summary.

Had Aladdin's lamp been available for the University of North Carolina football team during its game with Harvard here today, it would have rubbed and wished for the elimina tion of the second period, an interval that provided Harvard with 20 points and a victory.

For three periods the visitors lived up to their name of "The Tarheels," but Harvard crowaea an its on en- sive power into one quarter and I demoralized the defense of the Southerners. Only once did North Carolina get within striking dis tance of the Harvard goal line, but even their Notre Dame forward pass ing plays, taught, them by Coach "Chuck Collins, failed them. The score does not tell the full story, fur except for the second period the game was bitterly fought, with both sides punting frequently. The 20-points are attributed to the open field running of Gilligaa and French. i IXprt-iul 1o 'ihe I itflitiriaptijix Rlfir.

MEMORIAL STADIUM, MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. ill. A powerful band of Gophers from the Northwest this afternoon ripped its way through a valiant Boilermaker crew from Hoosierland to take a 15-to-O victory. superiority lay in its "bone-crushing" ability to tear through the (Jo1d and Black forward wall and stop the speedy Purdue backs in their tracks before they could get started.

13. VP) The greatest gridiron spec tacle American football ever has known furnished the background for Notre Dame's comeback today and a 7-to-0 triumph over the battered forces of the United States Naval academy. Before a record-shattering crowd, unofficially estimated at one hundred and twenty-two thousand, surpassing any outpouring that this historic field or any other ever has handled for football, the green-jerseyed warriors of Knute Rockne seized a "break" late in the tihrd quarter and scored the only touchdown of the game early in the final period on a forward pass. A poor punt from the toe of Big (Whitey) Lloyd, Navy back, which slanted off at a queer angle and traveled only seven yards, gave Notre Dame the ball on the Middie twenty-eight-yard stripe. Hoosier Backs Open Charge.

The flashy Hoosier back field, with Jack Chevigny and John Niemic doing the heavy work, aided by "Billy" Dew, opened up the big charge. They slanted off tackle to the thirteen-yard mark in a succes sion of short thrusts, then changed goals as the gun barked to end the quarter. The short interval gave an opportunity for Rockne to employ some strategy -which he did by sending in Colerick to replace Collins at left end. The Navy suspected this meant a nassinz threat, but was thrown off guard perhaps as Chevigny and Niemic hit the line, bucking their way to the eight-yard mark. Expecting another thrust at the line, the Navy massed its defense in a desperate stand.

Reinforcements were rushed in but on the next play, Niemic dropped back and threw a wide, slanting pass to Colerick. who caught the ball as he stepped over the line. The scoring honors went entirely to the Hoosier substitute forces, for Carideo, who had replaced Brady at quarterback in directing the successful drive, kicked the goal after touchdown. Irish Sub Halts Middies. Navy, which had exhibited noth ing but a gallant defense for tne first three-auarters of the game, aroused itself to fighting pitch after the.

In running up the big score the Blue and White succeeded in registering at least one touchdown in every quarter.

The Bulldogs tackled well, ran interference good and played excellent football in every department except one. That was in converting the touchdowns into the extra points.

Nine touchdowns in all were made and eight of the trials for the added point were failures. That's ragged work. In spite of the size of the count the Franklin men, battered into submission, yielded fighting every step of the way to a superior foe both as to ability and in numbers. Butler appeared especially strong in reserve strength and used twenty-nine men in the contest as against seventeen for their opponents. It was a substitute, White, sophomore backfield man playing his first came on the varsity, who electrified the crowd with the two feature runs of the day.

The former Tech star zigzagged his way through a broken, lpg-weary field near the finish for runs of eighty-seven yards and fifty-four yards for touchdowns. Outstanding Flayers.

It was understood, the Star aald, that Harris would not play. Chevigny, well supported by Niemic, Dew and others of the Rockne ensemble, was the ball-carrying ace of the day, but until they finally put over the touchdown, most of (he Hoosier gains proved unproductive. In the second quarter, Notre Dame vas held for downs on the Navy six-yard line. Neither the game nor the performances of either team measured up to the spectacular elements of its brilliant setting in this huge lake-front stadium. The record crowd, which surpassed by a few thousands tho attendance for the Army-Navy and Southern California-Notre Dame contests on the same field, got comparatively few thrills.

13. Before a record-breaking crowd of Old Gold day fans the DePauw football team romped over Earlham, 14 to 0, on Blackstock field here this afternoon. The Methodists scored all their points in the second quarter, the first half ending, 14-0.
