The 1921 Indiana college grid season
sank practically out OF sight SATURDAY
in mud and water, but the closing per-
fOrmances OF some OF the Hooslef eieEelS
brought out not only the best IOotDa1I
Of the year but some Of the greatest
grid battles Miss Indiana has seen ~
a long while. The results or the various
contests cleared things up considerably
particularly in regard 10 certain points
which up TO Saturday were more or less
in doubt
For instance Wabash's - to win over

the Crimson eleven for three years, no
single performance OF his was ever re
Ceived with greater RccImatIon than on
Saturday. when playing his last game for
the BlOOmin gton school he drOp-kcked
the ball squarely between the goal posts
in the final minutes OF play for 3 70
victory over Purdue. With Jordan held
resembling young ocean, the two great
rivals surged back and forth through the

Franklin eleven and made touchdown
in each quarter. Hard Off-tackle plays
and sweeping end runs mixed now and
then with a forward pass formed an
offensive that Franklin could not 1ath0m

Although Outclassed from the start,
Franklin was game and had Butler been
facing a less determined zoe, the score
would have been much larger Twice
Franklin held the Pagemen on the one
