DePauw University -- led by Bob Steuber, who began the season with the National Football League's Chicago Bears -- dismantled the visiting football team from Wabash College, 33-0. Steuber, the nation's leading scorer, had another banner day. He accounted for 25 of the Tigers' points, running for 266 yards on 19 carries in the 12th battle for the Monon Bell.

Steuber, an All-American halfback at Missouri, was the first pick of the Chicago Bears in last April's NFL draft. On September 27, a day after playing in his first professional contest, the Navy ordered Steuber to report to DePauw for training as an aviation cadet.

Created by Ken Owen to commemorate the college football rivalry between DePauw University and Wabash College.
