The curtain went down a | bitter rivals met bitter rivals to have the last word. bitterest of all bitter rivals ■r re Indiana and Purdue which met ■ Lafayette for the state championHKp outside of Notre Dame. MWabash and Depauw met to have ■ out at Greencastle. ■The struggle for the year was just ®good as over for Notre Dame when Wey got rid of their two-year enemies "I defeating Nebraska last week. B’out the only argument about the *

game between the Irish and Northwestern game at Chicago today was whether the Purple would hold their opponents to as low a score as <lll, Nebraska. Northwestern fans pointed out that, they held the heavy Chicago Uno from scoring a touchdown and that they can stop the Irish. The Purple team also is said to be In better con- ■ ditlon than it was when it met the 1 Maroons. « 1 Northwestern has shown more 1 speed this year than it. ever had in the past. Dopesters were expecting Purdue 1 to come out on top in the game with Indiana. Attention of football fans was centered on this game today. Out , of 24 games played by the two teams since 1892 Purdue has won 12 ami Indiana 9. Three of the scores were tied. Purdue has lost to Indiana during the past four years but has had a better record than the crimson during the season. Chicago won from Indiana by 23 points while it defeated Purdue by only 13. Northwestern defeated Indiana by I 1 ) points while the Boilermakers were victorious over Northwestern by sev-J en points. The score of both Hoosier teams were 21 to 7 in defeating Wa-' bash. The Boilermakers defeated | Depauw 36 to 0 while the Crimson defeated Depauw 21 to 0. Indiana was the victor in the game with Ohio State while Purdue was the vanquished. It also won from Rose Poly with a higher score than did Purdue but. it has the defeat delivered by Louisiana that it cannot' wipe from its record. The Boilermakers were on the look out for Salmi, Sloats and Lorhcr, the best of the Crimson ball carriers and were prepared for them. The team has had two weeks to rest and have had time to let their men recover from injuries. Captain Claypool was still in a partially disabled condition and was not expected to be put into the game. Wabash stacked up with a record for the season of 75 points ahead of Depauw and, according to dopesters, had a better chance of winning than' the latter team. The Tigers have; lost all but one game while the little giants have won three. Depauw, how-| ever has been getting better each week and promised a few surprises. , Tbe Haskell Indians after a two weeks rest were in splendid condition when they met Butler on Irvin fie'd here. Levi and Captain Carpenter were out with injuries, however. [ Every man on the Bull Dog team was; in good condition but it was indicat-l ed Hal Griggs, who has just recovered from injuries would not be used. ♦ IT PAYS Winter am cornin' Cornin’ fas', But j got yams.
