The Fourth Down By Willie Punt The main trouble was, Peru out played us. Peru has a tine backfield, but we don't believe their line has very much on ours. Coach Hills, of Kokomo, did a pretty good job of officiating. Several thought the game was too rough, but the two teams were lighting hard for the championship and they were expected to put their strongest efforts into the game. There were several nice spills in the dope over the weekend. Muncie almost upset Gary. However, as far as we're concerned, Emerson high may claim the state championship. Northwestern sure has tough luck in Indiana. After outplaying Indiana in nearly every department of the game early in the season, the Purple was defeated 7-6, and then Saturday after outplaying Purdue throughout the game, the Purple was defeated again, .6-3. Saturday’s game clinched the cellar in the Big Ten for Northwestern. Indiana and Purdue will decide which is the worst at Bloomington next Saturday. These two state teams, both made up largely of sophomores, have played off again, on again, off again football all season. Both are saying, “wait until next year," and we believe they will be strong next year. too. o WAYNE TANKS DEFEAT BADEN HALL TEAM SUNDAY, 30 Fort Wayne, Nov. 19. —Badin Hall' light but speedy football team held the Waynes Tanks without a touchdown yesterday in their battle at,, Lincoln Life field, but a place kick by Shihs from the 30-ya.rtl line in the third period gave the Waynes a 3 I-; 0 victory in a fast and interesting game. 1 With a little more beef in the line, • the Notre Dame players might have held the Waynes to a scoreless tic, or . might have come off with a victory, : but their advantage in speed was not t enough to offset the edge which the locals held in weight and driving pow- 1 er, and by tearing throught the line I for substantial gains, the Waynes ; were able to get close enough to the I Badin goal line Io enable Shills to t hoist his game-winning kick over the < bars in the third quarter.
