CAvEMEN FACE TIGERS
Butler Rests for Thanks
giving Day Fray.
BY DICK MILLER


Rivalry keen and intense creeps
into the football games carded for
the delight of Indiana football fans
next Saturday. The annual scrap
between Indiana and Purdue is any
thing but SetupS for the prognoSti-
Gators and few are willing to choose
between De Paw and Wabash. OF
lesser Importance, still just as bit
ter in rivalry, is the Rose Poly Ev-
anSville college scrap at Evansville.
Peculiar arguments arise in the
Indiana-Purdue game discussions.
Purdue, after setback at the hands
of Minnesota, showed real strength
in tying Wisconsin, 1919. In
fact, the BoilermakerS looked as
good, if not better, than the Bad
gers in that fray. Jimmy Phelan's
crew were powerful as they ran
rough-shod over Chicago. They
slipped badly when they allowed
Northwestern to defeat them on a
muddy gridiron at Evanston, 7 to s..
On the basis of the Wabash scores,
that is Purdue and Indiana each
beat the Little Giants, IA to 0, the
two state rivals are evenly matched.
Indiana Argument
But the crimson fans come back
with a different argument. They
call attention to the fact that the
Pagemen beat Michigan and lost
to Minnesota about the same as
Purdue did. They beat North
western 6 to 0 in the mud, while
Purdue lost to the Wildcats by one
point.
IT the weather man continues to
pour forth rain in large quantities,
it is figured that Pat Pages
Crimson warriors have a fine chance
fourteen points.
A point not discussed freely is that
the Purdue field is covered by a
huge canvas between games. While
most other playing fields are veri-
table seas of mud, the Ross-Ade
bowl at Lafayette can be kept fairly
fast and solid.
Tigers Going Good
De Paw has been going pretty
good this fall. They met an early
season reverse at the hands of
Purdue, but came back fast to win
from Earlham, Evansville, Franklin,
Indiana Central and Muncie Nor
NAL. All victories we're decisive.
One reverse intermingled was at the
hands of Army.
They go into the battle Sat-
urday against their chief state foe
in good condition. Because the
game is to be played at Greencastle
the hopes of Coach 'Bish" Hughes
are strong for victory. Wabash has
suffered some reverSeS, one of the
worst at the hands of their own
faculty who declared Kimes, star
center, ineligible last week.
The Little Giants have a great
kicker in Bayer, some good ball
toters and fair defense. The game
between the two secondary college
leaders should be rip shorter.
Rose Has Edge
Evansville and Rose Poly have
been running race to see who
could lose the most games this fall
The Rose team holds dope edge.
Franklin, Muncie Normal, Oak
land City, Indiana Central and
Manchester all hung up their grid
toys last weekend.
The games Saturday will be final
ones for Indiana, Purdue, Wabash
De PAW and Evansville. Rose Poly
and Indiana State Normal clash
Wednesday,, Nov. % at the stadium
at Terre Haute in a renewal Of the
long rivalry between those two
teams that for the past five years
has been closed.
Butler rests next Saturday for
its Thanksgiving day conflict at the
Butler bowl with the strong Tufts
team from the east. Notre Dame
also loafs Saturday for its trip tc
the western coast to meet Southern
| California on Dec.
