Indiana-NOtre Dame Struggle
Tops Interesting Football
Card for Day.
BUTLER AT ROSE POLY

The Washington Park battle between
Indiana and Notre Dame, which proc
ably will decide the collegiate champion
ship of Indiana, was in itself enough to
make today's HoOsier football card the
most interesting Of the season, but the
usual number Of other sparkling State
games were also scheduled.
Butler met Rose Poly at Terre Haute !;
State Normal and Hanover clashed at
Hanover. and Valparaiso entertained
Morningside at Valparaiso. Purdue left
Indiana to meet Northwestern, Con
ference rival. at Evanston. I'LL. and
host of Purdue fans went along to wit
ness the scrap.
The dopesters who do their talking in
cash were not saying much in favor OF
either side when the NOtre Dame-Indiana
affair was discussed. The Irish athletes
this year already have one down on the
books with the country's best and today
they were in position to play football as
good or better than any they have ex-
hfbited this season. but nevertheless the
Rockueites expected one of the toughest
slices Of opposition that had been ofered
them all season.
CRIMSON FIT
FOR HARD GATE.
Physically. Indiana was as fit to fight
as any team sailing out of the Blooming
ton port ever was. And they had trick
TO trade for every one Notre Dame placed
on the boards.
Coaches Rockne and Stiehm have been
tireless in their efforts to perfect their
respective teams in every way for the
great game today, and when the teams
went on the field they felt as though
their work had been well done.
Fans today were particularly interest
ed in the deeds and dOlngs of one famous
George Gipp. half back of the NOtre
Dame team and main cog In Rockne's
defensive machine. This athlete started
the dope fires burning with his brillis Mt
work last year and this, and is on the
path to an All-American position To-day
he was primed for his greatest per
Torrance.
The Butler Rose game at Terre Haute
was the final l. =. a. L. contest Of the
season for Butler and the Christians
were determined to win il. thereby clincn-
ing the secondary collegiate champion
ship OF the State for the 1920 season.
Rose was considered formidable. but
there was little worry in the Butler
camp as to the outcome OF the scrsp-
Butler finishes the season with Chicago
Y. NJ. c. a. College at Irwin field next
Saturday.
Coach scanIon had his Purdue grid
ders on edge for their game with the
Northwestern huskies, which will be fol-
lowed by a tilt with Indiana at Lafay-
cite next Saturday. The Boilarmakers
had a chance to gain new admirers today
score than did Indiana here two weeks
ago. The score Of that game was 10 20 Z
Scanlon felt certain that his men could
score two tOuchdOwns.
Purdue was not going to play harder
than necessary today. because the big
goal is a victory over Coach Jumbo"
Stiehm's Crimson crew, and It win not
do for them to go into this game with
an injury list as excess baggage, be-
cause they will have a hard enough time
holding their own with a perfectly con-
ditioned squad. Despite the Purdue atti-
tude. however. Northwestern was made
the favOrite TODAY by non partisan fans.
TEACHERS TAKE
on HANOVER.
Hanover was expected TO have easy
sailing against State Normal today. The
Teachers are playing football this year,
after an absence Of several seasons from
the gridirOn. and are having a hard time
getting started with green talent. Han
over. however, was prepared for quite
scrap, as the NOrmalites have not been
letting things get by them without hav
ing their little say about II.
MOrniugside visited Valparaiso with
the Idea Of handing Coach KeOgan's
beefy outfit a neat trimming, but it was
believed they would have q hard time
carrying out their plans. The Falpo
team. under Coach koeCan. has stood up
and battled hard with the best Of them
this season. and has yet to make any
thing but a credltable showing
