PURDUE GETTING SHAKY
VICTORY OVER INDIANA THIS YEAR
BY NO MEANS A CERTAINTY.
Several Changes May BE Made in the
Purdue Varsity Team-News from
Other Indiana EIevcns.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYET Ind. Oct. 19.-The regular
members OF the Purdue varsity eleven
who played against Illinois Saturday were
not out for practice Stuart Field to-
day, and only the second and third elevens
worked out. Several of the varsity men
are suffering severely from injuries re-
ceived in Saturdays hard game. Furr was
the most seriously hurt The big left
guard had a tendon torn in his shoulder,
and may not be able to play for two
weeks. The accident happened in scrim-
mage in the second half and necessitated
Furr's retiring from the game. Captain
Osborne is very stiff and sore. Half Back
Zimmerman is also very lame. and several
others not in the best of condition.
Coach Cults was disappointed at Purdues
poor showing in the second half of the
Illinois game. The offensive work of the
Boilermakers discouraging to the
coach and rooters, and unless there is
marked Improvement within a week or two
at the most, the state championship may
I team. Next Saturday Purdue meets Ober-
lin on Stuart Field, and the Ohio college
eleven this year is exceptionally weak, the
old gold and black team should have little
difficulty in winning. After the Oberlin
game comes the decisive contest with In
diana, 10 De played TINS year at lndlanap-
oils. There is the greatest rivalry between
the two colleges. especially this year, be-
cause OF Purdues decisive victory last
fall when Indiana was beaten 80 to O.
Purdue thus far has shown up stronger
| than /. L., but Horne's pupils are rapidly
acquiring speed, and may surprise the
critics. This week the Purdue eleven will
| be worked hard by Coach Cults. 1t will be
| his single aim to develop speed in offensive
| work and jim the formation of interference
| 1t is here that Purdue's fatal weakness
| lies. 1t is probable that there will be a
| Shake-up, and several of the second eleven
may find places on the varsity team.
| Cults realizes that there must be decided
| Improvement in the work Of the eleven to
| make sure victory over Indiana. The
offensive work as it is at present could not
count against !. US heavy line. After the
| Indiana contest Purdue still has two con-
tests that will result in defeat for the
| Boilermakers unless the local team takes
| brace. They are the Northwestern and
| Notre Dame contests. Northwestern S
| showing against Chicago makes Purdue $
| chances look slim. The defeat of Purdue
| by Illinois Saturday has caused feeling
| of gloom in the training camp. The facul-
| tvs refusal to allow the football men more
time In the afternoon to train has caused
much criticism.

OLDER HORSES SOLD.


With the annual reductions of the larger
strings Of Eastern and a few Western rae
ing stables comes the perennial wall that
these self-same owners are eager to retire
from the turf. and rider TO this is added
that they about 10 leave the sinking
ship. The real facts in connection with the
recent sales of large owners. if impartially
analysed. must tend to prove that not
only do these owners purpose racing in
years 10 come. but anticipate campaigning
strings on larger scale even than at pres
emit. In the case OF August Belmont he has
given out the statement for publication that
he finds his time so completely taken up by
business affairs that he has not the time to
properly look after his racing interests. But
he is not forsaking the sport and will re-
tain his official position as chairman of the
Jockey Club.

CONGREGATIONAL SINGING.
An Effort to Restore Ii to It's Former
Favor.

Buffalo Commercial.
Two Presbyterian churches i'm Toronto
have organized classes for the purpose of
prompting congregational singing. This
feature of Sunday worship has fallen more
or less into disuse since the rush of city
life has become so much more prevalent
than the calm procedure of village doings
Whether II is because the congregation is
ashamed of It's singing In comparison with
that of the talented and well-paid choir.
or whether 1T simply has made up its mind
to make the choir do all the singing as
long as ii gets all the pay, is problematical
Nobody who goes often to church, however.
will assert that congregational singing in
city churches ia either hearty or musical
sponsive readings after a fashion. one hun
dred of them making, say, third of the
volume of sound with which the clergyman
gives voice TO his part of the service but
even those who rumble along in the reading
are likely to balk when a hymn is an

and awed and uncertain tone, as IL they
feared to be heard by their neighbors-as
is perhaps the true explanation of the weak
voice.
Yet the hymn books are filled with meIo-
dies with which all church-goers have been
familiar from their youth. II they could

He has been reinstated and will be in the
