PURDUE OPENS SEASON. Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 13. —Purdue university will open the basketball season here next Wednesday night December 14th, when the Franklin College five appears for the initial battle. On Friday night the second game on the schedule will be played with Hose I’oly. Coach Lambert has completed three weeks of hard practice with a squad of twenty men. The competition in so keen that the Boilermaker coach will have a hard job picking five men to start the game. Captain Miller, back guard and White, floor guard, both placed on several All Conference fives last season are the only sure starters tomorrow. It is probable that Little, back guard, and Keesling, floor guard, will get in the game for a short time. Both players are Sophomores and were members of the Freshmen varsity last i year. Two Sophomores are battling for the center position. Gullion and Hawkins are after the position left ? vacant by Coffing who graduated last spring. Both men are good basket j shots and can cover the floor. The forward positions have a large numI ber of men trying out for them. To I date the men who played last year 1 have been showing the best form. Eversman and Masters look to be probable starters. Chafee, Treat, Holwerda, Leverenz, Holder and Travis will probably get in the game for a short time. s_s_V-WANT ads earn— s—s—s ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH.
