CHARLOTTESVILLE Ind, Nov. 25.
After all has been said or done in
the 1919 football season, it must be
stated that Wabash Colleges grid
eleven can lay claim to almost any
championship on which one would lay
his hands. Neat, accurate, dopy COM
parative scores are responsible for
this blushing statement Here's the
dope:
Franklin tied Purdue in an early sea-
son game; Purdue was defeated by
Ohio State, but not by as topheavy a
score as Wabash defeated Franklin,
$50; therefore, Wabash is better than
Ohio State; Ohio State defeated Wis
consin; Wisconsin defeated Illinois
therefore Wabash wins Conference
championship.
Purdue tied Franklin: Notre Dame
beat Purdue, SO to 13; Wabash defeat.
ed Franklin, 6S to 0; therefore Wa.
bash is better than Notre Dame
consequently West Point, Nebraska
Indiana, etc.
On the other hand, by more nimb1e
| manipulation Wabash becomes the
humblest atom:
DePauw tied Wabash: Centre beat
DePauw; Purdue beat DePauw: Kala
! mazoo beat DePauw, SO Wabash comes
| at the tail-end.
