The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-12-06

DePauw was irst TO reach the city
and had a half hour in which to reign
supreme with It's mass of bowling stu
dents eneSsed In long overcoats gaily
bedeckSd with yellow streamers and yell
low chrysanthemums. 1t was 1925 when
the special train of eight coaches. pulled
tby engine loaded down with the
Ecolors from pilot to tender, entered the
fUnion station from Greencastle and
burned loose upon the streets three hun
dred and more students and friends.
with yeIls of hope and derision they
smarched to the Bates, carrying before
them their handsome crimson silk BAN
ner, presented to the team the day be-
fore by the ladies of the school The
malls and corridors of the Bates echoed
and reverberated with the shouts of the
confident DePauw men. the noise being
rivalled only when the Purdue people
'thronged past at IL o'clock, three hun
Sred strong, on their way from their
special train to the Dennison. Here like
ecenes were witnessed. the old gold and
BLACK being substituted for the yellow.
Hhe two teams were taken by their
Soachers to private dining-rooms and
given a special diet for their Thanks
giving dinners. which needless TO say
did not consist Of the heavy food and
delicacies that usually characterize that
feast.
steady Flow of Humanity.
At 1 O'Clock the steady flow of hui
manity began and never ceased until
st encircled the gridiron with jungle
of coaches, carriages and other vehicles,
and flooded the grand amphitheater to
almost it's seating capacity. over five
thousand people were massed together
around the small field TO view the
battle of the Titans.
The amphitheater was a waving sea
of colors. the rival hues about equally
predominating DePauw massed its
strength I'm the center and seven hun
dred threats united In the college yells
of defiance that burst forth at short
Intervals. on the east side OF the vast
pavilion was thronged the Purdue con-
tingency, ably assisted by the boys OF
battery "A" who rent the air with
their shouts Of triumph and, confident
of victory, already forced so many
times from opponents almost as worthy
OF their fighting qualifications. Back and
forth In answering and rivalng force
went the DePauw yell
Zip, 'rah! ID. y. u
RIP saw. boom, bah!
Bully for old DePauw.
Scarcely had this been hurled forth
from the center than back came the
defiant cry:
Purdue 'rahi rahi
Purdue, dam DePauw
"Bully for old Purduel
And so Il went each screech and
howl being applauded by its sympa-
thizers among the thousands Of visit
ors. When the coaches came upon the
Al ar4H .aIr fI,.Fv- -. a.
amphitheater TO the silvery music OF
the horns that echoed and re-echoed
across the field, they were each greeted
with loud applause. Purdue claimed
the first that appeared, emblazOned as
1t was with the cOlors Of that institu-
fion. and the east side yelled with de-
iight. Then came a coach with the yell
low conspicuous on its fair occupants,
and DePauw replied with a shout OF
qualification. Following this came the
coach OF the sigma chi fraternity of
Purdue. and IL was the turn OF the east
no shout with triumph. Last OF all. but
more conspicuous, came the Cosmos
club, thirty strong, on the Columbia
tally-ho, about equally divided in SYM
pathy. and both sides shouted an an
swering welcome. Such scenes as these
made a veritable pandemonium OF the
amphitheater until the game was called,
and interest was detracted from the
rival factions to the excitement OF the
contest.
Very Few Hurt.
The number of men hurt was small,
notwithstanding the fact that each team
used three substitutes. Crowell of the
Purdues had his lame shoulder injured
again and this forced him TO retire and
gave Griffith an opportunity. Fulkerson
was badly bruised and compelled to re-
tire in the latter half and Van Valken-
berg was put in. Dearborn was exhaust
ed and gave way to Capt. Finney, who
went in the first part of the second half
Finney wanted to go in at the lineup
for the second half, but DePauw kicked
IS Dearborn was on the field and not
hurt. They insisted on Dearborn and
Capt. Finney was compelled to remain
out. He begged hard as 1t was his last
year in college and he wanted to lead
the men TO victory. but not until Dear
eiorf was hurt, or apparently hurt in a
scrimmage. was he permitted to take a
position.
Collins of the DePauw eleven was re-
placed at right-end by Sandy and ALI
bright at LETT half-back by Bearss. Col
9ins was injured internally, but Albright
was only worn out by hard service.
