November 10, 1979

November 10, 1979, Greencastle, Ind. - Losers of six straight games heading into the annual battle for Monon Bell, DePauw University put up a tough fight against Wabash College. But in the end the Little Giants, who had won six straight contests, took the lead very late in the game and emerged victorious, 16-13.

A CBS News crew was on hand for today's contest to shoot a feature piece for the network's Sunday Morning program, hosted by Charles Kuralt.
