With apologies to Alfred Noyes:
The air was a torrent of pigskin 'cross the Bloomington plains,
The sun eclipsed by touchdowns tossed with nary a pain,
The field a wide-open lane giving yards ten or twenty or more,
And the Hoosiers and 'Cats came riding—
Riding—riding—
The Hoosiers and 'Cats came riding, rolling up that score.
Persa threw like a madman, Colter not far behind,
Five TDs ties a record! And Dunsmore played out of his mind!
Four scores in seven catches, and a hundred and seventeen yards!
No 'Cat tight end is his equal,
We'll likely not see a sequel,
For the Hoosier defense is abysmal, one of the league's worst by far.
Northwestern fared little better, giving up 38 points,
But the offense scored nigh to 60 while the D stunk up the joint
Blood-red the Bloomington jerseys but they could not the purple contain,
So the cold streak ends at five losses,
Thanks to Dan and Kain's tosses,
Plus Jacob Schmidt's two rushing scores, and the deadeye foot of Budzien.
