|, U. GRIDDERS SET
FOR DEPAUW eleven
Especial to The Palladium


BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. g.
Playing practically all his men and
making selections for Indiana univers-
ity's opening Big Ten conference
game with Minnesota a week from to-
morrow at Indianapolis is the task
which head coach Pat Heron has set
for himself tomorrow afternoon when
Indiana opens the 1929 gridiroR sea-
son on Jordan field in a game against
DePauw.
After more than two weeks of
strenuous drill under Indiana's new
coach, so candidates, dozen of them
veterans from last years squad and
many of them rated above the average
in ability, are awaiting the referees
whistle anxious to be given a trial.
The backfieId is said to be faster this
year than last. Wilkins, regular quar-
terback last year. will be at his old
position, while Raymond and Thomas,
also veterans, will fill the halfback
positions. Harris has been plunging
through the line from fullback for good
gains. The interference has been
working well in scrimmage.
Six Veterans In Line.
In the line Indiana will have at least
six veterans, Captain Hanny at right
end, France at right tackle, Lohroi
at. center, Clay at left tackle, Cox at
one of the guard positions, and Eber-
hart, end. Wichterman, left end, But
Ter at left guard, and Mumby at right
guard, are new men, but are expected
to make good. Reserve material both
for the line and the backfield is prom
Using, so good in fact that no positions
are considered permanently filled, at
least, not until Coach Heron has seen
his men in action against the Old Gold
and Black tomorrow.
Prepares For Minnesota.
While Indiana is getting its baptism
of fire Minnesota will be playing North
Dakota at Minneapolis. The Gophers
new coach, Bill Spaulding, is said to
have first class material this year. In
diana won from Minnesota two years
ago and lost TO the Minneapolis eleven
last year by the close score of 60. The
Indianapolis game week from tomor
row closes Indiana's three-year con
tract with Minnesota and, with an
even break to date in the series, both
teams are expected to put up a terrific
battle for victory in the deciding game
Oct. IA The DePauw and North Da
kota eleyens probably are about even
ly matched in strength and the results
of these games tomorrow will serve as
basis of comparison for football fans
looking forward to the Indiana-Minne
sofa contest.

New Zealand Finds Horse
Racing is Popular Sport

er in these parts just now is Charlie
Purdy, aged II.
He never had a glove on his hand
until late in 1921 Six weeks after his
first introduction to a boxing glove,
he entered the Auckland champion
ships, competing as a bantam. He
won every battle. He then went to
Wellington and won the bantam cham
pionship of New Zealand. Afterward
he beat the Australians.
Purdy, who is feet 8 inches tall,
has taken on poundage since then and
is a legitimate feather He undoubt,

a year. 1t would not be surprising If
he jumped into the welter or middle
class before he reached the age of 81.
They haven't had many real fighters
here-and they've always yearned for
one. The brilliant work of Purdy, who
is more of a boxer than a slugger, has
made them all hopeful here that in

ness that he can journey to Australia,

to America and gain a worlds cham
