Coal was called home yesterday. but was
back in ,irne for practice to-day There
seems to be among the students a growing
confidence in the ability Of the varsity to
win from Purdue, but this sentiment is not
30 strongly shared by the coaches. They
think Indiana has a chance. but believe that
victory or defeat depends upon the develop
ment OF the team from now until the game.
The team Is practicing behind closed gates.
and there are rumors of new formations and
now trick plays which will be sprung in the
biz game. The most gratifying feature OF
the last weeks work has been the develop
ment of Hare at quarter. He played end on
Shortridge last year, and at the first of the
season did not show any great promise. bur
for the last two weeks he has been playing
quarter on the varsity, where his quick.
sure passing of the ball has done much TO
work up the team play and speed IN the
back field.
During the absence Of Smith from the
team MendenhalI has been moved to right
tackle, while Long, who is by far the heaV-
Test man on the squad has been put in Men

ANDERSON, Ind, Oct 21.-The Riverside
golf team. of Indianapolis, this afternoon
defeated the Anderson Country Club team
by a score of % up. Seven men played
on each side and the visiting players won
all the matches with the exception of
Carter. who was paired with Morris Grimes,
their match resulting even up.
1t was an ideal day for golf and large
gallery followed the various matches. The
visiting players said the Anderson course
was the most sporty in the State be-
cause of the natural hazards it affords
Each was of eighteen holes and on the first
round the Indianapolis players did not show
their superiority. but on the second round,
after becoming more familiar with the
course. they showed their superior skill.
The Carter-Grimes match aroused great
deal of interest because the men seemed
so evenly matched. The features of the
day, however, were the matches between
Barrows and Gedge, and Rebel and Lang
ell. Barrows and Rebel were added to the
Riverside team for the match with Ander-
son. Each won his match by 2 up. The
approach work of Barrows was far superior
to his Anderson opponent and the short
game of Rebel was superior to his oppo-
nent. The Riverside players showed bet
ter skill in the short game and in this mat
ter won such decisive victory. The
matches resulted as follows:
Riverside. Anderson.
