Indiana daily times., 1920-11-20

Another double football card was on
the program for indianapolis fans today
with De Pauw and wabash IN their an
nual struggle at Washington park and
Butler opposing the Chicago y. n. c. A.
College on Irwin field. Irvington.
All the teams participating had their
loyal followers and college spirit was
in evidence the entire day throughout
the city
Starting with De Pauw and Wabash
street parades this morning the rah rah
boys got busy with a mighty shout and
their unbounded enthusiasm made hun
dreds of city folk take of the cloak OF
business seriousness and decide that u
would be a fine idea to join the football
throng and enjoy the youthful atmos-
phere.
The old gold colors Of De Pauw and
the Scarlet of wabash could be seen
everywhere in the down town section
this morning and, although the rooters
from Greencastle had the CrawfordsvllIe
contingent outnumberei, the Scarlet ad-
herents were not a bit lacking in noise.
De Pauw-Wabash games are rivalry
battles of the keenest brand and the COP
test this afternoon was to be no excep-
ton. Last year the teams fought to a
scoreless tie and when the elevens locked
bodies this afternoon another terrlnc
struggle was promised.
From the view point of the non-partisan
football fans, De PaUw entered tfa game
a slight favorite, but upsets are likely
to occur any time these colleges meet
and, Of course, Wabash was hopeful OF
springing a surprise.
Coach Buss of the Tigers and Coach
Vaughan OF the Scarlet have worked long
and hard to shape their teams for this
game, and it was up to the players tc
face the big test this afternoon
Each eleven has its bright stars who
were being depended upon by their re
spective followers to carry the burden OF
the crucial battle Ogden, Galloway,
SIutz. Schmidt and Norris were among
the prominent Tiger warriors, while
wabash had Thompson, Millstead, Knee
and Stasand as its probable feature per-
formers. However, the other battlers on
both teams had their important parts
to pIay and any one was likely TO dash
into the game and outshine the better
knowns"
The Washington Park gridiron was in
fine shape for the struggle and fans were
looking forward to q fast contest with
plenty OF open style and straight loot
bali showing The De Pauw students
were to occupy the east bleaehers ana
the Wabash the west. Yell leaders OF
the two colleges had their roofing clans
tuned up and there was to be no lack
Of cheering.
De Pauw and Wabash football teams
have been meeting in annual struggles
FOR the last thirty years and strang'
10 say each college is credited with al
equal number Of victories. Therefore
each team had the opportunity before
IT today of capturing the odd victory
for its school and Of course that added
chance for glory meant the grid war
rfors were sure to give the best that
was in them.
The starting whistle was scheduled tc
sound promptly at o'clock.
Out at Irwin field, Irvington, Butler
was ready to close a glorious season by
taking on the Chicago Y. NJ. e. 4. Col
lege and, despite the fact that some OF
the IrvingtOn warriors were weakened
bv Injuries, Coach Page had his mer
keyed up To a fine point and was con
fdent of victory.
It is the wind-up Of a remarkable sea-
son for the Irvington institution and
followers OF the Blue and White were
sure to turn out as mark Of apprecia-
ton for the great Butler comeback"
A high school game between Bloom
field and Wabash teams was scheduled
TO precede the Butler Chicago "Y'' game
starting at u 80.
