LOTS OF NOISE
AS RIVAL GRID
ELEVENS CLASH
Weather Fails to Halt Cheer
ing Hosts of Wabash and
De PAW Clans.
FIELD HEAVY AND SLOW

The old Gold of De PAW and the
Scarlet Of Wabash once more have IN
vaded this city as the rival grid clans
planned to renew the ancient IootDall
feud on the soggy field at Washington
Park this Afternoon. All of GreencaStle
was on hand this morning to voice in no
uncetrin terms the praises OF Coach
walker and his band of Tigers, while
Charlottesville surged OF the lnterurbans
at noon so full of confidence that II
seemed the battle was over already. Al
least that was the impression the Scar
let roOters cratd. TIL opposing factions
got NOR partisan as the time grew nearer
for the big scrap. Alumni forgot their
calm under the last of hostile nre from
the enemy camp and wordy cohillcts were
a forewarning of what was to come when
Drawn met Drawn in the titanic struggle
out West Washington street way
The foes for a day were entrenched
across the street from each other-the
Wabash camp was pitched IN the Ciay
pool Hotel. while De Paw headquarters
claimed the Lincoln as its base OF opera
|, tiOns A wise committee saw TO II that
the student parades would not conhlct.
De Pauw planned a big procession at
T0.3O starting at the Union Station. AT
u o'clock. with the Methodist parade
ell over and things Quieted down a bit,
the Cavemen from Wabash planned TO
strut from the interurban station pro-
claiming to all who would listen what
noon.
NEITHER LIKES
SOGGY FIELD.
Both teams were fit for the mill, but
disappointed over weather conditions
Wabash and De PAW each was expect
ing a victory and there is never much
of a favOrite in such a contest Where
. players rise to heights on the field OF
play that coaches never dreamed was pos
sible in their prOteges. The CONDITION OF
the field was very bad, because OF the
rain Of the past few days, ana such
PLAYING conditions surely did not tend To-
ward very brilliant football. Inc game
looked as though 1t would resemb bic some
what an old-fashioned scrap, with plenty
of mud to make the falling easy and the
handling of the ball difficult.
The men Of Vaughan and Walker nave
had plenty Of time since hard games 10
recuDerate. and bear" stories died nat
uraI deaths because OF lack OF fuel 10
keen them going. Walker brought host
of new men 10 indianapolis, and vaughan
also picked up some stars among the
freshmen Logan at center and MeeSe az
end are new men, while Singleton and
Roll in the back field are also playing
their first year.
Ted ogden. the veteran De PAW
leader, who has made such an enviaDie
reputation on the grid in this State was
TO be seen in an unfamiliar place Il nc
lined M at quarter. 1t seems far cry
from snapper-Lack to quarter back, but
Ted seems to get away with II.
Both coaches have been working over
time toward the game today ana In the
last two weeks have directed all OF their
efforts toward the development OF their
respective teams for the contest that II
won stamps the season as successful and
If lost brands IL as a failure no matter
how other results have gone.
RIOTERS COME
"ALL TUNED Up"
And while the teams had been prepar-
ing for the big game" the rooters had
not been idle Enthusiasm and pepper
has been the rule and pep" sessions
we're held at wabash and De PAW every
night this week starting Wednesday.
The old college spirit has been present
at both schools in large quantities and
the students have not been backward In
letting the football players know that
they are back Of them to the finish, what
ever that finish may be. Yells, bOnfires
and songs have been on the program all
week and all Of the enthusiasm was
transferred TO Indianapolis today.
De PAW has won twelve games
against eleven for Wabash in the years
of rivalry between the two schools, but
the Little Giants have scored the more
points Past records were forgotten,
though, as the teams prepared 10 line up
for the whistle today and the result OF
1921 was all that counted
With the Greencastle and CrawfOrds-
VILE crowds in town a thrOng was on
hand inspite of the weather, IS nothing
stOps the really interested followers OF
both teams from cheering on their favor
ties, rain or shine, cyclone or calm.
