Excerpt from Ohio State University Monthly, Vol. 4: The Official Organ of the Ohio State Univerity Association; November, 1912 It will be a brown, fragrant, plump turkey that Ohio State men and women will eat this year, all in celebration of the very satisfactory wallop ing that the Ohio State eleven gave to our ancient enemy from Case in Cleveland, November 2. It is a long-to-be-remembered day, as the papers hav it, fleecy with spitting snow and autumn tingle; but it was also a little oasis in the stretch of six years of defeats given Ohio by the Cleveland war riors. Thirty - one points were secured on the Case field by Richards' squad. Unfortunately the edge of victory was somewhat dulled by a fluke at the close of the game which gave Case six tallies. However, the old scores were evened, and the Scientists got the worst beating in ten years from any conference eleven. The Ohio State contin gent in the grand-stands turned bedlam loose and sent old, staid Moses Cleveland scurrying for thecyclone cellar to get away from the din of the conqueror. After the game, the Ohio State Var sity squad met with ardent alumni in Cleveland to help celebrate the glad event. A brace of beauti ful oratorical speeches were made, but nobody has a clear memory what was said, because of the riotous confusion of yells, songs and cheers. It was the old, free days back again with renewed vigor. Automobiles packed to the gunwales were pressed into service and made a triumphant pro cession that would make one of Alexander's home coming marches look like a Sunday school parade on a rainy afternoon. Baek here in Columbus a battalion of lusty - throated students waited for the train from Cleveland, but were disappointed in not finding the victors aboard. This did not de ter them, however, from donning the flowing white robes of midnight and parading the principal streets in celebration of the downfall of Case. It was a rollicking, roistering, riotous, rabble. In other words, respected reader, Ohio State is again on the football map, and victory is sweet to the tongue.
