A safety provided the initial scoring in the first-ever meeting between the football teams from DePauw University and Wabash College, and the men from Greencastle built on the early lead, rolling to a 34-5 win at the school 27 miles to the north. It marked the DePauw squad's first victory of the season after losses to both Purdue and Butler, in addition to a tie with the Butler team.
