and bruised with three men in such
condition that they will be unable to
play for several weeks, the DOWN
hearted members Of the Purdue foot

the crushing defeat at the hands of
Iowa on Saturday, are gloomy

on the hospital list with a sprained
knee for some time, and Meeker, the
center, is suffering from a broken fing-
