Vi' swi TJHE 1920 EMF- ' ' If THE TRIP TO CULVER. The only game played outside of Milwaukee last fall, was at Culver, Ind.. against Culver Military Academy, on October 22. It was our first game of the season and for some of the members of the team, their initial appear- ance on the gridiron. The team, Coach McCormick and Athletic Manager Horne left Milwaukee Friday morning. October 21. and after a nine hours ride arrived at Culver, where we were met by the Academy's Athletic Officer, who took us to the Palmer House, our quarters during our stay as the Academy’s guests. After a fine dinner, the evening was spent at the Y. M. C. A., where everyone enjoyed the use of the several billiard tables and the piano. Saturday morning was spent in a walk to the athletic field and an in- spection of the Academy grounds and buildings. The game was called at 2:30. Culver had. on the field, nearly sixty men in suits ready to play and after the first quarter sent in fresh men every few minutes, so that we were playing a comparatively fresh team throughout the hour. The team, green and inexperienced, and playing a school with a foot- ball reputation of several years standing, did the best it could, but that was not enough to prevent the soldiers from running up a large score against us. As soon as we were ready to leave, cars took us up to Plymouth, where we caught the Pennsylvania train for Chicago and then on to Milwaukee, arriving home early Sunday morning. Barring the game the trip was the best ever. Going down, there was a close race between Norcott and Eckhart to see who could get acquainted with the greatest number of the fair sex. but this was declared won by Eckhart, who was fortunate enough to capture the smiles of a young lady of decidedly Swedish descent, who boarded the train at Gary. During the game the aggressiveness of Grosso, our quarterback, and his methods of tackling Cul- ver’s heaviest men brought comments from the sidelines. It was after the game though, that Gentili gave out the information that the timekeeper had used a watch, which he could, and did stop at frequent intervals and which might have prevented 11s from .scoring. Having never seen one before, it took considerable explanation to convince Gentili that a stop watch was a legiti- mate and very necessary instrument for a timekeeper to use. Practically every member of the team returned home somewhat stiff and sore but with the highest regard for the soldiers, both for the game they played and the way they treated us. It was a trip that we will remember with pleasure, and should we get a return game with the Academy, as we all hope to. we will surely try to give them as fine a time as we experienced at their hands.

WAYLAND ACADEMY VS. S. O. E. In a game replete with thrills, the School of Engineering football team de- feated the plucky Wayland Academy eleven, 13 to 7. Wayland fought a good game, and threw a scare into the Engineers in the last half, when they were held on the Engineers' 3-yard line. The game started with the Engineers receiving. For several minutes the ball see-sawed back and forth in the middle of the field. Then Newton, of Wayland, tore off a 30-yard run around left end, placing the ball on the Engi- neers' 20-yard line. On the next play Johnson, with perfect interference, skirted the same end for a touchdown. Johnson kicked goal. The quarter ended with the ball in the center of the field. The second quarter proved disastrous for the boys from Beaver Dam. The Engineers, after having intercepted a Wayland forward pass, tore through the Wayland line again and again. After Wright had placed the ball on the Wayland 20-yard line with a pretty 15-yard run. Rankin tore through right tackle for the remaining distance, kicking goal after the touchdown. Wayland, receiving the kick-off, was forced to punt, and when Grossq of the Engineers missed the kick, it was recovered by Wayland. With the ball within striking distance of the goal, the Engineers’ line proved a stone wall and Johnson was forced to try a drop kick, which was successful. The Engineers, with the ball on their 20-yard line, commenced a steady march up the field. Time and again Rankin and Wright tore through for gains of 15 and 20 yards,, until finally Wright went through tackle for the second Engineer score. Goal kick was missed. The summary: S. O. E.
