BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1900 NOTRE DAME KNOCKED OUT. Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 25. – Indiana University's eleven won the State championship here today by defeating Notre Dame in one of the fiercest and bloodiest games ever played in Indiana. The final score was 6 to 0, and only the umpire's whistle prevented another touchdown. With one minute to play Indiana had forced the ball to within five yards of Notre Dame's goal. Here the two teams fought and struggled like fiends until the whistle ended the game. So fierce was the play that four of Notre Dame's star players – KUPPLER, FARRAGHER, WINTERS, and HAYS – were carried from the field bleeding and almost unconscious. RUCKER was the only Indiana player injured. He received a severe sprain to his left leg. A cheering crowd of 1,500 students and other football enthusiasts witnessed the game. When the end came and Indiana had been declared the champions the players were carried from the field and through the streets on the shoulders of the students, headed by a band.
