Yale Men Failed to Come Around Last
Evening-Will Meet Next Term.
The mass meeting that was to have
been held last evening by the Yale un-
dergraduates did not take place owing
to the small attendance. The meeting
was called for the purpose of coming
to some decision with regard to the
new eligibility rules that were passed
at q meeting held about a month ago,
and it was expected that the rules
would meet with the approval of the
undergraduates as a whole. Owing to
the Easter recess beginning to-day a
great many of the members of the uni
versity have gone to their homes, so
there were only very few at the meet
ing last evening. The meeting for the
same purpose win he called on the
opening of college next term.

er naval constructors, was held this

POsT-sEAsON GAME PROBABLE.
Purdue Confident of Victory Over
Champaign, ILL.,, To-Day.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 15.-Manager
Esterline has received a request from In
diana University asking for a post-season
football game to be played at Indianapolis
Dec. 3. No official action has been taken,
and the matter rests entirely with the fac
ulty of Purdue. However, it may be stated
that its decision will depend greatly on the
result of the game at South Bend to-mor-
row. If Indiana wins that contest it is
safe to assert her desires for a post-season
game will be satisfied. The faculty will
decide the question next week.
For to-morrow's game the Purdue team
stands fit for the struggle and confident of
victory. The lineup Will be as follows:
Center, Berkshire; right guard, Rebel; left
guard, +. Smith; light tackle, Captain Mill
Ter; left tackle. Davidson; right end, Holm;
left end. Leslie; right half, a. Smith; left
half, Knapp; quarter, McCann; full, Ber-
key. There is not q weak nor an ailing
man in the list, and all are prepared for
the battle of their lives. Word received
from Champaign states that 1000 rooters
are coming with their brass band TO at
tend the contest. A mass meeting was
held in the college chapel last night that
was a winner. Nearly every player made
a speech, patting each other on the back
and whooping up the general spirit of en-
thusiasm. Champaign has beaten Purdue
but twice in the dozen games they have
played, and has never won one on Stuart
Field. Many d student is hoping that the
old "hoodoo" will hold good tomorrow.
In last nights practice Mowry, Knapp,
Whitam, Rebel and Leslie were the stars,
wading through the scrubs in great style.
Both of the husky Smiths were in their
accustomed places doing fine work. Hard
hitting of the scrubs line characterized the
evening practice.

INTEREST IN THE CITY.


Despite the fact that the Jeffries-Ruhlin
fight took place over two thousand miles
from this city, interest In it was manifest
ed to a large degree by the followers of
the fistic arena in this city. Much ~specula-
ton during yesterday was INDUCED in as to
the duration of the fight, and it was gen.
orally predicted that Jeffries would nave
little difficulty in defending his champion
title. The rumor which was spread a few
days ago that the champion had refused to
do his trainers bidding and was looking
after those matters himself gave rise to
many stories to the effect that Jeffries
would either be overturned or not have
the proper attention when he entered the
ring, thereby giving Rubin undue advan-
tag over him. For this reason the stock
of the Swede took a slight jump and the
small odds offered by the Jeffries crowd
were quickly taken by the admirers of Rub
lin. Frequent bets of to 1 were offered
by the Jeffries crowd. There was a num-
Der of small bets of even money that Rub
lin would not last ten rounds. In Harry
Walkers place two bets of 800 to SIS were
made that Rubin would not last seven
rounds.
Although the returns from the ring did
not begin to reach this city until about
midnight, numberless inquiries were made
of the newspapers over the telephone as to
how the fight was progressing as early as
s o'clock last night. When the inquirers
were told that the returns would not reach
here until a late hour nearly all gave their
promise Of remaining up until some def
mite news had been received. Most of
them made good their promise. and from
1880 o'clock until l o'clock the telephones
were kept busy by anxious persons wishing
to learn the news of the fight.
At the Empire Theater a midnight show
was given and returns from the ringside
were read from the stage. The brevity of
the fight caused the large audience assem-
bled TO forget the performance and the
greater part left at the conclusion of the
fight
