POLICE ARRANGEMENTS.



In view of the parades to be given this
week the police department has arranged
to keep the streets, over which the process
sions will march. clear of all traffic for the
time This afternoon at 2 o'clock when the
first big parade will inaugurate the open
ing Of the Fall Festival and Horse Show,
the streets over which the parade will
pass will be roped off. When the procession
moves from its starting point a signal will
be given and the ropes will at once be
frightened about the posts set in the side
walks. Immediately the street will be
cleared of all carriages and wagons that
have no connection with the procession.
A special detail of policemen will be sta
toned along the line OF march to keep
anyone from getting outside the ropes.
Every precaution will be taken to keep
back the crowd from the prancing horses.

that might happen to little children COM
ing too close to spirited horses will be
avoided.

PURDUE'S SORE DEFEAT
CHICAGo's FOOTBALL TEAM STRONG
Err THAN EVER THIS YEAR.

the real thing the Purdue men went
against" said the crank. land it will do
the West Lafayette team much good
Coach Best now has the work of Stages
men as an object lesson in fast playing,
and the Purdue coach will see that his
men are little quicker on their feet before
they enter another contest. Sheldon was
nearly the whole thing in the Chicago
game. This is his fourth year with the
Maroons, and they may never have an
other sprinter to equal him. His runs were
phenomenal and the manner in which he
evaded the Purdue tackles was marvellous.
In one play four men had their hands on
him, but he shook them off and continued
his run to the goal line. The way Chicago
hurdled for gains was a revelation. Some
times before the Purdue men were aware
where the ball was Chicago player would
leap over the scrambling mass and secure
gain of five to ten yards.
THE game was fierce from start to finish.
Purdue went into ii In disabled condi-
tion and came out with several candidates
for the hospital. G. Miller, Walter Krull
and others were forced to retire. Game
Captain Leslie was almost laid out several
times. Kaylor, who has bruised muscle.
did not go into the game until the last
few minutes of play. Riebel, another In
dianapoiis man, was one of. the stars for
Purdue. Krull's kicking was excellent.
Purdue has strong alumni association
in Chicago, and its members and their
families went to the game in coaches dec
Grated with the university colors. The
Purdue Band and 400 'rooters' from the
university marched from the Chicago
Beach Hotel to Marshall Field. The Pur-
due 'rooters' were in evidence throughout
the game, but their efforts were unavail-
ing.
Some of the Purdue students protested
vigorously against what was deemed ex-
tortion. 1t was understood the general
admission charge was to be 80 cents, but
no tickets were sold at less than Is cents,
and reserved seats were 81 and $3.50. Nearly
all the seats were reserved, and In conse-
quence any person who desired to the
game was forced to pay 81 or $l.50. The
Purdue 'rooters' evened up matters by cap
turing the best seats reserved for Chicago
partisans, but later gave them up and re-
turned TO the west side. Between 5000 and
