    NORTH MANCHESTER - Tippecanoe Valley graduate Dion Anglin set an NAIA Division II record when he returned an interception 100 yards Saturday in a game against DePauw.

For now Anglin's record cannot be broken as 100 is the longest possible official return according to the NCAA statistics under its present guidelines. The interception was Anglin's sixth of the season. He is on pace to have a shot at the school record of 11 set by Dan Huffman.

    Opening exercises were held at the local high school on Friday morning by members of the sophomore class. After singing several class songs members of the class brought a dummy labeled "Elkhart" into the room on a stretcher, and funeral services were conducted by John Snell, of Winona. As the stretcher was carried out, boys followed carrying shovels. Warsaw will meet Elkhart in football at the Beyer field on Saturday.
