Other Feature Scraps.
PURDUE VS.. NOTRE DAME

Three football games on Saturdays
schedule are holding the attention Of
HOosier grid fans. Again all eyes are
turned toward the East, where Wabash
tackles the Army at West Point, in the
second game within eight days in which
an Indiana college has stacked up against
a noted eleven from the Atlantic coast
The big game within the borders of the
State and one which will go far toward
determining the State championship, IL
the NOtre Dame Purdue scrap at Lafay-
cite, which is heralded in the advance
dope a battle chat will be worth seeing
Another game, a Conference affair,
which gradually has pushed its way into
the vision of Indiana sport followers, is
the Iowa Illinois combat. Outside of the
fact that this contest is considered the
most important In the Middle West be-
cause Of its bearing on the Big Ten race,
every one is interested in the showing Of
the Hawkeyes since the pride of Indiana
football, the Irish, went down before the
Devine brothers, Locke, Slater and the
rest of them.
LITTLE GIANTS
FACE HARD FOE.
Wabash carries the good will of all on
its Eastern pilgrimage. Followers of
football know what che Scarlet will be
up against, and few hope for a victory,
but one thing Is assured, that the Little
Giants will fight with the best that Is in
them and If the tide goes against them
there will be no disgrace IN defeat.
The Wabash team under Coach
Vaughan. left for West Point this after
noon with a big send-off from students
and townspeople at Charlottesville. Coach
Vaughan said that his battle plans for
the game would include the usual Scarlet
style of defense, but that his team would
Cadets as it would to ward of the at
tack. Last night big pep session was
held In the Wabash gymnasium that was
staged by the Charlottesville Chamber OF

PURDUE STOCK
ON THE UPGRADE.
At Lafayette all is in readiness, for the
Boilermakers tangle with the famous
games have tended to shift the dope bit
on this scrap. Before Notre Danes de-
feat by Iowa everything pointed to an
overwhelming victory for the Rockne
cohorts. Before Purdue went to Chi
cago there was nothing but gloom on the
Lafayette campus. The Wabash reverse
in the first game Of the season spread de-
spair in thick layers over the followers
of Dietz and his squad. But things have
changed since Purdue made its great
stand against the MaroOns last Saturday
and hope again is stirring in the breasts
Of Purduetes.
What the result will be next Saturday
is a matter for widely differing opinions
but the way things look now II viii not
be the walk-away for the Rockne squad
that was predicted at the first of the sea
son. Although Notre Dame Is a big fav-
orite, there IS going TO be real contest
ana not a rout as was feared before the
dope bucket was kicked around
Over at Illinois Yuppke is preparing for
a far from pleasant afternoon with Iowa,
the cOnQuerors OF Notre Dame The willy
Illini mentor always has something up
his sleeve, and II Is this that keeps the
odds from being much IN favor OF the
Iowans. The whole West Is watching
this game II injuries to Locke and A
Devine do not seriously affect their play
the Suckers will have to have an ex
cepttonally strong team to cope with the
brilliant assortment of stars that viii
trOt onto the gridiron Saturday with the
confidence Of a hard won victory behind
them. Hoosier fans favor the Hawkeyes
simply because they gave NOtre Dame
the first beating administered In three
years.
Local interest centers in the Butler
Hanover game, which should not give the
Irvington eleven much trouble II some
thing terrible has not happened to Pages
men since they swamped Rose Poly last
Saturday. From reports the Pagemen
are even stronger than they were last
week. 1t is expected, however, that Hano-
YER viii offer more resistance than the
Engineers did last Saturday.
Earlham meets Rose in another State
game Saturday at Terre Haute, and
from previous records of the two I. c.
A. L. teams, Earlham has the edge.
De PAW, which came back against
Pennsylvania last week after meeting an
avalanche at Notre Dame and cheered
their followers by showing flashes ~
football, will meet an unknown quantity
Saturday in Valparaiso University. The
Methodists should be able to put over
another victory.
Indiana "U" will rest this week and
use the time in preparation for Mime
sofa Oct. %.
