Very interesting.  Only 2'15" running time each way.  I'll bet she was kicking up her heels.  / Ron

I did not need to ride this special but ejoyed watching this, my last bucket game for a few years.
It was a short walk to Ross-Ade Stadium from Hall "H-3" (later "Wiley Hall).
PURDUE still retained the bucket again as there were ten "P"s on it.
