Coach Cults said to-day that the eleven
est that has represented Purdue this year.
this In spite of the fact that Smith, the
freshman center. has been ruled out by the
faculty al the last moment. Last night
Coach Cults was called into a faculty con-
ference and ii was stated by one of the pro-
fessOrs that Smith had not been keeping
up his work. President Stone then stated
that the faculty could not allow the sturdy
center To play.
The announcement has caused n great
disappointment among the rOoters, as
Smiths weight and strength were counted
upon to assist In tearing through Indiana s
line. As Pence. the pharmic center, is out
of the game with strained muscle. Cults
will put Hamilton back at center. Hamilton
has filed the position well, but he weighs
thirty-fve pounds less than Smith II was
also announced to-day that FUR cannot
play tomorrow. He injured his shoulder
in the Illinois game and has not yet recov-
cred sufficiently 10 play This will cause
another change in the line and il is proba-
BILE that MacManus Will be put in at left
guard and that Irving Long viii play left
tackle. This afternoon light practice was
fndulged in after which Coach Cults had a
heart-tO-heart talk with the players. The
men who are 10 play tomorrow are all In
good condition with the exception of s. Mil
Ter. who is not yet fully recovered from his
rib injury. and Joe Knapp, left half.
whose knee is weak. Leslie. who will play
full back. is said 10 be I'm better form than
ever before and this means that he will put
up a strong game.
Purdue's total weight is 1920 pounds.
nearly the same as last year. This is
slightly more than Indiana's total weight.
Twenty-three men will be taken with
suits tomorrow and twelve substitutes will
sit on the bench.
Coach Cults refused to make any pre-
dictions only saying that his men are in
fine condition and 1T for a hard battle.
The coach seems To feel that victory is as
sured for his team.
