AFTER ROTATING ATHLETE.
Indiana and Purdue in Contest for
Services of High Jumper.

Lafayette Ind, Feb, 15-Athletic rela-
tiOns which have Just been renewed be-
tween Purdue and Indiana came within
an ace OF being rudely shattered again
over the contention for one of the best
all-round athletes in the West. For weeks
both universities have been trying to get
Lynn Miller. a star performer in the high
jump. shotput. and broad jump, to become
regularly enrolled, and at present it seems
as il Indiana will land the athlete
Miller attended Indiana, then switched
10 Purdue, then back to Indiana. then to
Purdue. and finally went back TO Shell
don's wings. He is son of Trustee Mil
Ter of Purdue and it was his fathers re-
quest that the son attend Purdue.
Miller is still uncertain where he may
land before the term is over He holds
the State record and was counted upon
winning eight points for Indiana In every
meet he competed this year, as his form
with the shotput was of high class.
