The Indiana university team won the contest with the score of twenty to nine-but this does not tell the whole tale. Indiana won and yet she was defeated, for she had expected to beat the Methodists by a much larger score, as she defeated them last year to the tune of fifty-five to nothing. The Methodists have strong team this year and are confident that if they met In diana later on in the season that they could give her a harder contest than they did. De Pauw showed poor form in the first half, when they let Indiana score two touch downs and two place kicks, to their one touch down.

Captain Tucker the Star of the Game. Captain Tucker of De PAW was the star of the contest, his wonderful work netting all of the points for Coach Browns men.
