True enough, there are other football teams—We seem to recall that there is a city in northern Indiana from whence , come automobiles, identical fore and aft—And that self-same city is the locus (or situs) of a world-famed University— ; rich in scholastic tradition—and unique in the football world. (The uniqueness is in the fact that they seem to have lost the word, "lost.") There is also, we understand, quite a football team in a state to the north—Michigan; that is,—already sniffing roses in the Rose Bowl. And there is quite a Ton football team in our home town. But right now—in Hoosierdom—a great segment 3 of the citizenry is not aware of the existence of 4 any teams on the gridiron earth, other than Indiana and Purdue— ] who are about to meet in the old traditional classic. : gr They're going to get their heads together at Bloomington to decide who is going to have proprietorship of the Old Oaken Bucket— with a pendant of links—for the ensuing year.
