And was not one of those purposeful stands made upon one yard line and' did not Illi nois have two downs in which to make that short distance? HELD OUR TIMES ON 4 INCH LINE And that and the better "exhibi tion of pluqk 'grit and sinew7 was that not made on the OUR INCH line? And had not Illinois rushed the ball so very close to the goal on a first down and were not her plunging backs heaped up no less than four times? Verily those four inches seemed like unto 100 yards to the desperate team and the cheering Illi nois rooters Therefore it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that for bull dog tenacity and great fighting spirit this year's Indiana team is the peer of any it ever put upon the gridiron And there fore the conclusion thatthcre is as much of glory in defeat for Indiana as in vic
