PURDUE'S FOOTBALL TEAM
ITS MEMBERS WELCOMED BY STU
DENTS ON STUART FIELD.
Light Practice Begun Under Direction
of Coach Cults, Who Is Pleased with
the Condition of His Men.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 9.-In response
to call from Captain Osborne and Coach
Cults, the numerous candidates for posi-
tions on the Purdue football team reported
for practice on Stuart Field this afternoon.
Students were out in force to welcome the
players. The men were given the usual
preliminary instructions and there will be
no scrimmages for at least a fortnight.
That the two weeks outing on the Tippe-
canoe river has been beneficial TO the men
was. apparent to-day. Those who were
members of the camping party looked to
be in superb form, their brown necks and
arms bearing evidence of the two weeks
spent in the open. Pat McClaire, the new
trainer was a conspicuous figure on the
field and gave advice that was we'll re-
ceived. Cults and McClaire work i'm per-
feet harmony, each thinking the other be-
yond comparison as an instructor in
physical culture.
The squad that turned out this afternoon
was the largest ever seen on Stuart Field.
There were seventy-five men with uniforms
on, and Coach Cults kept them the ruin
from the start. He divided the men into
smaller squads and had them race down the
Then the men raced around the track. In
the squad are many freshmen, some Of
whom will make good linemen.
The announcement that VIII G. Kaylor,
last years star full back, would not be
able to play this year on account of the
injury to his knee received last season has
caused pronounced disappointment among
students in general. 1t was supposed that
he would be one of the mainstays of the
team this fall. Thomas, the Marion High
School star. seems at present TO be the
strongest candidate for the position.
Irving III. Long. who made such an ex-
cellent showing as a guard last season, ar
rived to-day from his home in Louisville,
Ky, and reported to Coach Cults this
afternoon. Long brought with him a
brother who has been star member of
the Louisville High School team for two
years.
Coach Cults still refuses to talk regard
ing the teams chances, saying that he will
make the best eleven he can out of the
material. He regards the material as
abundant and feels that there are good
men for all positions.
Leslie reported this afternoon and a tenn
porary manager of the Athletic Associa-
ton will be appointed.

he saw the partial list of candidates for a
fast team. Several of the old players were
present, and in addition there were a num-
Der of new men who will enter school this
fall and who desire to try for places on
the first or second eleven.
The candidates will not indulge in much

Coach Horne states that he expects the
Indiana squad to report in Bloomington for

tons. but thus far II is not known exactly

The old positions of last year to be filled
by new men for 1905 are both ends, both

one guard. The management has kept up
a correspondence during the summer. but
must await next week to develop the re-
suits.
Emmett King. the coach, is to be here
Monday to assist Director Horne and re-
main the entire season. The first game is
here with Wabash. Sept %. The following
Saturday the team plays Chicago. and SO
early cannot expect TO be in more than fair
condition.
Director Horne, In speaking of the COM
ing football season. said this morning:
There is considerable satisfaction in that
we are to get started two weeks earlier
than last year, and although there are very
many of the positions for which entirely
new men Will have to be developed. yet
i anticipate a much more successful sea-
son than last year. The great proposition
for US as, OF course, TO win from Purdue
at Indianapolis on Oct. 81 and we will have
to admit that this is very dif.icultf one.
/ am hoping that plenty of fast. heavy
men will show up when the term opens, as
have men that are both fast and heavy,
prefer the fast ones, as the team which
gets the charge on the other one is bound
to be a winner. That was the one great
trouble with our last years team, our line
was almost invariably outcharged. but We
ought to be able to remedy this 10 a great
extent this year. as We have more time
has just the right qualifications for the
different positions.
There is this year great deal OF dis
cussion in regard TO the effect the new
rules will have on the game. and 1t seems
that there is hardly a football coach I'm
the whole country who does not strongly
deplore these changes. There is bound to
be great deal Of experimenting during the
first part OF the season and do not look
for the same high standard of development
which has characterized the leading teams
for the last year or two"
