Greencastle, Ind, Nov. 16-In the
most spectacular game that has been
seen on the local field this year, De
Pauw cinched the secondary college
football championship of Indiana and
Illinois this afternoon by defeating
Earlham College by score of 10 to
-. The game was intensely interest
ing at all points and the immense
crowd of rooters was on their toes
during the entire game watching the
mess of kicks, forward passes and
runs. Although the Methodists had
looked for q. strong team from Rich
mond and Coach Brown had warned
his men that they would have to fight
every inch of the ground if they de-
feated the Quakers. the visitors played
much stronger game than the Meth
odists expected. Earlham was es-
pecially strong in the rapidity In
which they got into motion and in the
steady game they played at all times.

latter took brace and held them for
downs and the half ended with the
