mi:rzi 3e =71 The Greater Victory Fizzy Warner DERHAPS the less said about the Wabash game the better. But in an article of this character it would be side-stepping the paramount issue not to make some mention of the partici- pating teams. Wabash had the super- ior team by two or three touchdowns. The DePauw team knew it. They played as if they did. The only way that the 34 can be accounted for is that behind every team is a powerful ' ' team psychology that is baffling the the coach of today and will offer a problem for the thinking sportsman of tomorrow just as crowd psychology has baffled the leading thinkers of yesterday and today and is still an unsolved dilemma of the think- ing leaders of tomorrow. But Time always makes the more import- ant things stand out after its winds have blown away the darker clouds of gloom. The most conspicuous of these golden revelations is probably the greater victory of the Wabash and DePauw student bodies. All Indianapolis was impressed by the quality of college spirit manifested by DePauw men and especially by DePauw women, in the down town parade. All Wabash was impressed with the way she accepted defeat. All DePauw was surprised, disappointed and dumfounded at the clean, quiet, sportsmanlike manner in which Wabash draped Victory in their crimson blankets. Wabash and DePauw plaj ed afoot- ball game. Wabash won. But all the while the student bodies of both schools were fighting ou the side of clean sportsmanship, and both won. The drygoods-box orator ' S, 19 PPU 16 Twenty-four
