Charlottesville. Nov. AFTER one of
the hardest fought battles in the ath-
letic history of Wabash college, Wa
bash finally defeated DePauw uni
versiay by the score of II to 4
DePauw put up a stubborn game
Five times did Wabash work the ball
from the center of the field to within
a yard of the goal, only to have the
Methodists hold them for downs.
DePauw came up to Charlottesville
with the intention of administering a
singing defeat to the Scarlet. They
were keyed up to the limit for this
game and certainly played football
DePauw was the first to score on a
pretty place kick by Captain Tucker
The Methodists went wild when the
four was marked up on the score
board.
On the next KICKOFF Sprow, of Wa
bash, kicked the ball over the DePauw
goal line, The DePauw quarterback
attempted to run the ball out and was
thrown for a safety, counting two
points for Wabash.
The ball was kicked out from the
twenty five yard line to Hargrave, of
Wabash, who returned the ball to the
forty-yard line. After a couple of
line plays Hargrave tried a drop kick
The ball sailed clearly over the goal
posts for a score. Wabash 6. De-
PAW 4.
The ball was kicked off by DePauw
and Wabash carried the ball almost
the length of the field to the Method
lists vineyard line. Here the blue and
gold held the scarlet for downs. At
ter a few line plunges the half ended
with the ball in DePauw's territory
In the second half DePouw kicked
off to wabash. who again carried the
ball to the Methodist's vineyard line
only to be held for downs and the ball
punted out of danger. Twice more the
ball was on DePauw's one-yard line,
only to be punted back to the center
of the field. The second score was
made on a forward pass which carried
the ball over the goal line Sohe failed
to kick goal The game ended with the
ball in DePauw's territory.
Captain Tucker of DePauw played a
star game He was responsible for the
Methodists only marker He gained
ground constantly and also punted well.
The whole DePauw team played a
scrappy game throughout and never
| let up for a second.
Sohl, Sprow, Dobbins, Hargrave and
Wiseman starred for the Scarlet. Wise
man was substituted for Hargrave in
the second half and the way he handled
the ball on passing was a revelation
to the fans He is not quite as fast
as Hargrave, but showed better field
| generalship.
The game today Is the last state
championship game that Wabash will
play this season. The Scarlet intends
to end their season with ST. Louis next
Saturday.
| The Little Giants are still in the
running for the state championship. II
Purdue defeate Notre Dame then Wa
bash can claim the state championship
as the Scarlet has already defeated
Purdue.
| Cayou Will work the men hard next
week in preparation for the Missouri
delegation. Cayou has found out thai
| it is not good to allow the men tC
/ loaf before the game. He allowed the
men TO take it easy the week pre-
ceding the Michigan oggie game an6
consequently they were defeated 16 to 6
