One of college football’s oldest rivalries continues this weekend as DePauw University and Wabash College play in the 122nd Monon Bell Classic. The game will again be broadcast nationwide on AXS TV.

The game is set for Saturday at 1:00 p.m. at DePauw University in Greencastle. The winner will earn an automatic bid in the NCAA Division III playoffs.

AXS TV was launched by well-known entrepreneur and Indiana University graduate Mark Cuban. The network has broadcast the game every year since 2006.

The rivalry dates back to 1890, with the Monon Bell being introduced in 1932. The locomotive bell from the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville Railroad Co., also known as the Monon Line, is the winner’s trophy each year. Wabash leads the all-time series with a record of 59-53-9.
