Buckeyes Score Touchdown in Final Quarter on Blocked Punt, but Miss for Extra Point. BY W. BLAIXE TATTOX, Snorts Editor The Star. BLOOMINGTON. Sept.

2. rpHE long list of victories cred-L ited to Ohio university of Athens, which had mounted to nineteen was broken by a fighting rejuvenated Indiana university eleven here this afternoon before a colorful throng of 10,000 spectators. The score was 7 to 6 and the formal opening of the gridiron season for the Crimson. It was state Boy Scouts and Dad's day at the university. A splendid drive straight down the field at the opening of the second half produced the touchdown for the Hoosiers, when Lyons snared an eight-yard pass over the center of the line after this march.

The try for the extra point was sent directly across the uprights for what eventually was needed to nose out the Buckeyes. It was sent spinning through by Esmond. Score on Blocked Kick. While Indiana's touchdown cama as a re3ult of a beautiful bit of offensive football, the touchdown hung up by the visitors bordered on a fluke in the final quarter. Successive penalties of five and fifteen yards forced tho Crimson to punt from tho fifteen-yard line.

The kick was blocked and bounded back of the goal line. In the mad scramble Snyder of Ohio covered the ball for tha six points and then a teammate missed the golden opportunity presented to tie the score. There is no question about it, tha Crimson was outplayed in the first half and never threatened to tally until the final ten seconds of the second quarter on a long pass and run good for forty-nine yards which marked the only first down made by the locals during the half. This team, however, being coached under a new regime, showed flashes of great possibilities. The tackling was fairly good, the spirit of the men fine, and the reserve strength much better than for several seasons.

Have Real Possibilities. As an eleven it clicked together only in the third quarter but that was a real flash of power and that should be encouraging to the coaches. Everything can't be ironed out this early in the autumn. From what the team showed, in what might be termed "spotty" football, Notre Dame is going to bump into some stubborn resistance when these two elevens meet here next Saturday afternoon. Indiana is anything but a "pushover." The chief defensive weakness at this time appears to be against the overhead attack.

The back are uncertain, and are drawn in too quickly, which may prove costly unless corrected. Tha forward pass receivers need mora "glue" too.

On a field that gave just the right footing and under ideal weather conditions, the Little Giants of Wabash college opened their football season here this afternoon by defeating the Indiana Central eleven of Indianapolis, 21 to 0. Coach Vaughan used two elevens, starting his first stringers and keeping them on the field until after the second period opened. He then jerked the regulars, returning them to the gridiron in the final quarter. An eleven composed of reserves saw action toward the latter part of the first half and during the entire third period. The first touchdown came soon afteT play was opened, with Varner tearing around Central's left end to cross the goal line.

Smith added the point and the period closed, 7 to 0. Varner' a second touchdown came toward the close of the second period, when he eluded the Central secondary and akirted right end for twenty yards. Again Smith's toe converted the kick Into tho extra point. Banta In Jlldflold. The third period largely was a seesaw affair, with the two elevens battling in the center of the field.

While the Wabash team, made up of reserves in this period, was able to hold the visitors, it was not strong enough to score and the quarter ended with honors about even. Soon after the fourth period opened, the varsityagain took up TROJANS ON COAST but three of the thruata were stopped and four attempts were necessary to acore at the end of the other march. St. Mary's touchdowns resulted from two perfectly executed passes. The first pass was gdod for forty-five yards, and a touchdown and the second for sixty yards and a touchdown.

Except for the passes, St. Mary's was rather helpless offensively, but the two were enough. Through the game the Gaels were able to make only two tint downs.
