PIONsHIP FROM DE PAW.
down While the Boilermakers
Have n Score of 2S.

Purdue came with three hundred and
| DePauw with as many more bowling en-
thusiasts to witness the championship game
at the fair grounds yesterday. When the
enthusiasts went home on the late night
trains the Lafayette crowd was jubilant
for the score had stood: Purdue. %; De
Paw, 0. After serenading the Union
Station for a few minutes the henchmen
of the colleges marched up Illinois street
and then up Washington, greeting the pop
ulace with their welcome, though unmusi-
cal cries-and the Indianapolitans stopped
to hear the c~onglomeration Of sound. which
is rhythmic as the boating song of the
Hindoo, and has in addition the energy
Of young American life. The Denison was
given up to the crowds for the two hours
before the teams left for the field and
college alumni enjoyed themselves In this
annual reunion at the capital, which has
grown to be a most pleasant occasion. De
Paw partisans were sure that their team
would score. but the Lafayette denizens
only laughed at the idea and vowed that
ne team III Indiana could reach the twen-
ty-fve-yard line of the 'sboiler makers"
Many lady adherents of the teams were
conspicuous on the streets and street cars
for their wealth of the patriotic colors and
their bright faces told the athletes there
was something more than newspaper noto-
riety to battle for.
The rain had commenced before many
of the spectators left the city for the
grounds and the drizzle continued all the
afternoon but the fifteen hundred people
present were high and dry in the great
grand stand and the stamping of feet to
the tune George Washington restored the
circulation to cold feet and gave an UNDER
tone to the din Of voices as they mingled
in cheers for the fayorites. But the rain
was sufficient to drench the players and
officials and buckets of water had to be
blood from the physiogomy of the heroes.
Ere the game had proceeded far the famil-
lar DePauw yell had become fainter and
fainter and only at the last when q touch

down the field to Buschman, who caught it
and started for the goal, magnificently

part of those who guarded him. Moore
