ANDERSON, Ind. —
One week after lighting up the scoreboard, the Earlham College football team dropped a non-conference contest to Anderson University 48-7 on Saturday. “We battled,” Earlham coach Gerry Keesling said.

Senior quarterback Justin Rummell (Ingalls, IN/Pendleton Heights), who missed the entire week of practice with a foot injury, managed to take the field. “Justin Rummell gave everything he had with an injured foot, but couldn’t overcome it,” Keesling said. “(Junior) James Jewell did a good job in relief as he was thrown into a difficult situation.”

Rummell completed eight of 13 passes for 57 yards with one interception, while Jewell (Gary, IN/Roosevelt) was eight of 17 for 96 yards.

The Quakers fell behind early as Anderson got a field goal in the first quarter. In the second period, the Ravens added a score on a 61-yard fumble return and two more touchdowns late in the half to lead 21-0 at intermission. “The defense stepped it up against a good Anderson squad, especially in the first half,” Keesling said.

In the second half, the Ravens increased their lead to 28-0 before Jewell had a 9-yard run with 8:17 remaining in the third quarter for the Quakers lone touchdown.

Anderson running back Denny Kimmel ran for 283 yards and three scores. Earlham sophomore running back Manny Myers (Fairmount, IN/Madison-Grant) was held to 33 yards rushing. Myers was one of eight players to catch passes for the Quakers with three receptions for 36 yards. Sophomore Joe White (Richmond, IN/Richmond) led Earlham with four catches for 58 yards. On the other side of the ball, Michael Thompson (Riverview, FL/East Bay) led the Quakers with 16 tackles.

Earlham (1-2) opens North Coast Athletic Conference play next week as the Quakers visit Wabash College on Saturday. The game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. kickoff due to the Little Giants homecoming celebration. Box score
