Coliseum at the sta'e fa'.r grounds March 0, 10 and 11. Tho acceptance of the invitation extended the Little Giants came lato yesterday wlicn C-oai.li Pete "iiugha:i, following a conference with Wabash college authorities, telephoned Floyd Chafee. seeretarj' of the totirnaner;t committee of the Junior Chamber f Commerce that the tittle Giants will be on hand. The decision to extend the invitation to Wabash came after careful consideration of the records of every team in Indiana by tha commlt.ee. Kventually the field was narrowed to four teams, Wabash.

This brought the derision down to Purdue, the conference champions, and Wabash. The claims were about even. Purdue having defeated Wabash, but losing to DrPauw, who in turn was defeated twice by the Little Giants.
