LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 23.-Coach Best
already has developed two fast teams at
Purdue, and at times it is difficult to de-
eide which Is the stronger, varsity or
scrubs. Two of the new men who are
as sure Of first team positions as any one
now in the eleven are Kaylor, the Indian
apolis Manual Training High School full
back. and Allen. the Blanchard. Ia, tackle.
Both men are showing up to great advant-
age. Kaylor yesterday was sent through
the scrubs line repeatedly for gains of
from five to fifteen yards. He is the
strongest line plunger now on the team,
is quick on his feet, a sure tackle and
a good ground gamer. Coach Best regards
him as an ideal candidate for full back,
and is counting on great things from him.
Kayior works hard and is already popular
with the student rooters. Walter Krull. an
other Indianapolis Manual Training player,
is rapidly developing into fast end, and
stands a good show of being advanced from
the scrub team.
Among the other candidates who are
showing up well are Emise, the Davenport,
Ia, center, who entered Purdue last De-
cember too late to play on last years team.
High School team. weighs 1876 pounds. and
Is remarkably aggressive In scrimmages
he is always at the bottom and in making
holes in his opponents line he is a wonder.
Holm, Miller, Rebel and Davidson form a
stone wall line and each plays the steady.
consistent game that has made them a
tower of strength in former years. Cap
tain Leslie remains at quarter back and
seems to have found his proper position.
With Mills, Knapp, Miles and Osborne as
half backs there is no dearth OF ball ad-
vancers. Fifty-fve men are now out for
daily practice. Coach Best tries many diff
ferent sets of backs and in this way all are
kept in condition and do not forget signals.
Guard Miller, who had an eye injured the
other day. is again on the field, and Porter.
who strained his instep, is recovering.
The first game of the season will be with
Franklin College on Saturday, and IL is
probable that Best will give large num-
ber of his men chances to play.
