that they had full knowledge of the
fact that the four youths--James
Snyder, Jack Daniels, Charles Rich

played on the Milwaukee team in the
game with the Cardinals last week.
Folz said he suggested the youths

Next Wednesday the athletic
board will decide what action to take.
It may protest to President Joe Carr
of the professional football league
and demand punishment for OBrien.

The Franklin-Purdu tilt is one of
the important State struggles Of the
season. Last years scrap, which
the Baptists won in an overtime
period, proved to be one of the best
ever seen at Lafayette. And Purdue
seeks revenge.
Strong Point Makers
Both clubs this season have shown
amazing ability to hit the loop. Pur
due ran up 49 points against De
Paw, a team which on Tuesday of
this week held Indiana University's
sharpshooters to twenty points
Franklin counted 40 points against
Earlham in it's last encounter. Each
team is indicated.
And then there is Iowa at Notre
Dame. Even a Hoosier must admit
the Hawkeyes will be under handi-
cap in the South Bend contest after
playing Butler tonight and then
making the long trip for Fridays
tussle.
Reports from Iowa state Coach
Barry has very promising prospects
for a powerful five, and this seems
to be borne out by the early scores
of the Iowa team, which already has
as one of its victims one Of Indiana's
prides on the hardwood-Wabash.
N. ID. Starts Fast
Notre Dame IS getting excited
about it's team, which has won three
games this season, including victo-
ries over Minnesota and Northwest
ern. Iowa will be the third Big Ten
opponent, and the Irish" followers
are pulling for another triumph. The
game appears to be real test for
Coach Keogan's aggregation.
Butler, on its western trip, plays
Iowa tonight and Lombard at Gales
