beaten them, one tied them, and
only two wins have been chalked up
for Notre Dame.
Irish enthusiasts are hopeful of a
Notre Dame comeback against
Southern California this week, and
Army next, since the Ramblers
ended their touchdown drought in
winning from Northwestern.
Watch the Half Backs
But on the whole it's a little too
much to expect the Notre Dame boys
to be wholly cured of their football
errors in week, and no team that
makes mistakes with Notre Danes
past generosity will get by the Jones
gridders. q
Both squads are in good condi-
ton. The Trojans will arrive in
South Bend late today, after work.
ing out at various stops en- route
from the west coast.
One of the features Of the battle
should be the ball Juggling duel be-
tween diminutive Cotton Warbur-
ton, Trojan quarter back, and Andy
Pilney, Notre Dame sophomore
back.
On the outcome of the Purdue
Hoosier struggle depends the state
gridiron championship. 1t is the
first time in the memory of the
present generation Of football fans
that there ever was any doubt about
the state title. For more than
two decades Notre Dame has kept
it, securely and virtually unthreat-
ened.
This year Notre Dame spilled
over the Crimson eleven, and then,
two weeks ago, lost to Purdue. If
Purdue wins the Indiana game-and
there is little indication that Purdue
will lose-the crown is indisputably
a Boilermaker trophy.
But if the Hayesmen pull their
traditional yearly upset and hand
Purdue its second straight defeat,
the state title will take on about
the same value as an imperial Rus
sian ruble, and whoever wants it
probably can have it.
Or, if the worth of an imperial
ruble can be split into three parts
without the aid of a trigonometrical
genius, Notre Dame, Purdue and In
diana each will take a third.
Kizer Warns Purdue
Coach Noble Kizer has lectured
his men that they must not try to
win the game too early-that is,
not before the whistle blows in
Bloomington tomorrow. He has
shown them the 1880 score when
Indiana defeated a strong Purdue
eleven, to 6, and warned them
that similar upset may be in
store if they are overconf1dent.
Down in Bloomington Coach
Hayes told his squad that the only
men he would need against Purdue
were those who would get in and
fight.
A battling spirit is about all the
Crimson youths can put up against
the powerful Boilermakers. The loss
of Wendell Walker, sophomore full
back, will hamper the HooSiers, fol
Walker was not only the key man
on their running attack, but also
could boot the ball when Bob Jones
the punting guard, was needed in
the forward wall.
Await Large Crowds
Purdue is weakened somewhat by
the loss of Duane PurviS, half back
and Captain Dutch Fuehring, q
tackle, who, like Walker, are on the
crippled list.
Indiana would feel better about
the game had Purdue not beer
drubbed by Iowa last Saturday
That defeat, as Hayes has told his
men, probably will incite the Boiler
makers to murderouS march to as
many touchdoWns as possible.
Both games in Indiana tomorrow
should draw large crowds. A mini
mum of 10000, with a possibility Of
full $4,000, is expected at Notre
Dame, while 10000 probably will
cram into the Indiana university
stadium.
Indiana is celebrating home-co
ing day. A program tonight, with g
pep session, bonfres, fireworks anc
a banquet will initiate the festivities
