LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 27.-Purdue
and Notre Dame fought strenuously for
State championship honors this afternoon.
and instead of the predicted easy victory
over the South Bend team, Purdue just
managed TO tie the score in the last few
minutes of play. II was a lucky thirty
yard dash of G. Miller, substitute full
back. that saved Purdue from a heart
breaking defeat, and the TOUCHDOWN was so
unexpected that the disconsolate rooters
were transformed into a shrieking mass
that, did not subside till the players left
the field.
The struggle was by far the hardest OF
the year, the hardest, perhaps, ever fought
on Stuart Field. Purdue did not show the
splendid form exhibited in the Indiana con-
test. The interference was slow, fumbling
was constant and costly, and the cold,
muddy field made snappy play an impos-
sibility. Notre Dame, in the first half,
seemed to carry the Purdue linesmen of
their feet, and Salmon's terrific plunges,
directed nearly always at MacManus. left
tackle. netted from five to eight yards each
time. 1t was by this steady succession OF
line bucks that Notre Dame scored the
first touchdown, twenty minutes after the
kickoff. Despite the frantic attempts OF
Davidson. Miller and Kaylor to stop SAL
mon, the wonderful full back would dash
again and again against Purdue's line and
ii had to yield. At its own one-yard line
Purdue took a brace and held for two
downs, but the third attempt Salmon
tore through and scored The touchdown.

eight-yard line. tumble then resulted
in the ball changing hands. Salmon was
forced to punt and Osborne caught IL on
Purdues thrty-yard line. He fumbled and
Salmon fell on the ball. Then began the
terrible pounding that resulted in the first
touchdown. With the score to 0. Miller
kicked off to Doar and Notre Dame failed
to gain. Salmon punted. and Kaylor.
Knapp and Miller carried the ball to No
tire Danes forty-yard line. Here Miller
brought the bali back. but later was
obliged to punt. Knapp carried the ball
eight yards. and then fumbled. The ball
changed hands several times after this
and on Notre Danes thirty-five-yard line
Rebel fumbled and the ball went TO Notre
Dame. Both teams, covered so thick with
mud as to be indistinguishable, fought des-
perately. Purdue in defense. Notre Dame
striving for a second touchdown. The ball
was forced to Purdues twenty-yard line.
and Salmon tried drop kick but failed
miserably. The half ended soon after
The second half was even harder fought
than the first. and disputes and injuries
dragged IL out until IL nearly dark.
MacManus, through whom Salmon found a
hole. was replaced by Davidson, and Emise
took the latters place at center. Salmon
kicked OFF and Allen caught It. Purdue
fumbled repeatedly in the middle OF the
field. but when Notre Dame got possess
sion of the ball all, there was not the steady
Purdue held like a stone wall. and the
whole half was fought in Notre Danes ter

ball. and Kaylor seldom failed 10 gain by
hurdling the opponents line Several times
Notre Dame got the ball by holding for
downs. There were disputes over possession
OF the ball, so narrowly did Purdue miss
making the required distance. IL could cas-
lily be seen that Salmon had given up hope
of puncturing Purdue's line again. he
did in the first half. for every time the
ball was in Notre Danes possession he
would try to punt IL out of danger.
G. MILLER'S FEAT.
Leslie fumbled on Notre Danes thirty

a touchdown. Purdue held its opponent.
