Valparaiso Coach Appeals Call After DePauw Game
Coach Keegan of Valparaiso reportedly appealed a referee’s call in the Valpo DePauw game, contacting Walter Eckersall 300 miles away. The dispute centered on an onside kick and the play's legality, with Umpire Gipson and Referee Durfee on the field the key witnesses. An appeal to Eckersall is deemed unlikely to yield a fair ruling since he did not witness the game.
