Mark it up and three cheers for Mr. Parke Davis, the former coach and football historian who named the 1931 team co-champions.

I attended my first Purdue game in 1943(age 11) at that time Des might have just been a sparkle in his Pop's eye.We played Illinois and Tony Butkovich scored four TD'S.Two years later my first Basketball game and we started Hinga-Haag-Hoffman-Anderson-Goswehr(all were from Indiana High Schools)
