Interest in 1920 Series

The baseball scandal now being in

that they stood alone in this respect.
Every confidence Is felt In the alb

Scanlon gave the Purdue squad light
workout Monday, following Saturdays
game with De Paw. He lectured his
men on the weaknesses disclosed in the
Contest and told them they would stand
little chance against Chicago next sat
urday unless they speeded up and showed
more fight and determination. The back
field came in for the greater share OF
attention. The backs were instructed in
interference and they practiced the for
ward pass. Next Saturdays lineup
against the Maroons probably will be
about the same as that used in the De
