This will be the homecoming feature at Bluffton and a large crowd is expected to attend the game. The game was originally scheduled for a night contest but was changed to afternoon because of the un certainty of weather conditions at this season of the year. The opening kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 o'clock The Yellow Jackets wound up their heavy practice Tuesday evening Coach Tiny Horton announced he would hold no more scrimmages, in order to prevent further injuries to members of the team.

"I '"■> ROM out of the west this , | week-end come Purdue’s hamJL rnering horde of Boilermakers, to Ho battle with the violet- jerseyed warriors of New York University on a Manhattan gridiron. At the present writing, it looks as if the burly batterers from the Indiana institution will be heavily favored to come out on top in this contest. Not that N. Y. U. is any weak sister on the gridiron this season. It’s lust that Noble Ifizer has the makings of one of the most powerful teams in the country: and, besides, the Boilermakers are what von might call an exceptionally good •oad team. They dote or winning ntcsertional contests, and as a "otter of fact they have not lost an nte" ertional game in the last five •eai - In that space of time Har■•■ird r arnegie Tech, Montana State Haylor Mississippi and Centenary ha"e entertained the boys from Lafayette.

| the game. If dope means anything, the Yellow Jackets hold a slight edge over the Tigers. Decatur defeated Central Catholic of Fort Wayne, which team in turn downed the Tigers. Decatur also held other teams to closer scores than the Tigers were able to show against the same teams. In past seasons, however, pregame dope has meant little to the Yellow Jackets and Tigers. This is the big battle of the year for both elevens, for many years traditional rivals, and all form sheets can be thrown away as useless. Bluffton not only has failed to score apoint to date, but they are likely to rise in their wrath and smite down the Yellow Jackets Fri- ' day. o I Purdue Will Play New York U. Saturday Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 26. (U.R) — Reported in the best physical condition since its first game of the season, the Purdue football squad took its final workout on honie soil today before leaving for its game with New York University Saturday. The Boilermakers w ill limber up from the train ride in a practice. drill there Friday afternoon. Duane Purvis, sophomore halfback. and Roy Horstmann. p uniting fullback, who have carried the brunt of most of liie Purdue scoring this season, appeared to be in good physical condition when they reported in uniform yesterday. Defense plays for the type of at tack expected from the New York school were given considerable at-! tention during the practice session.

Noble Klzer, Purdue’s very capable football mentor, has made a fine record in his two previous years as coach of the Boilermakers, and it looks as if he intends to keep up the good work this season. In the two seasons completed since Kizer took over the reins at Purdue in lildO, the Lafayette team lias lost only three games out of eighteen, and two of these setbacks were by the narrow margin of a single point, while the other loss was sustained last year at the hands of Wisconsin, the Boilermakers losing bv one touchdown after outplayme i their opponents through most of the game. Such a record is indicative of sound coaching methods, attention to detail, tireless effort and intel'i gent endeavor. Any coach who ca- | meet the kind of teams Purdue has met in the last couple of seasons and not take a whitewashing now and then deserves to he rated with the leading mentors us the football circuit

WRITER GIVES HIS OPINIONS United Press Sports Writer Gives Personal Opinions On Football By George Kirksev United P. ess Staff Correspondent Chicago. Oct. 26—(l'P)-eA few , personal opinions, observations and n tes on he football s.-asou: Ollie Olson, X rtlrwestern’s plrtinu'.ii blond fullback, is the best punter f.r distait-ce in the Big Ten. .11. kicked cne 66 yards out of bounds against Purdue last week, the punt being measured from the line of serhnage aid not from the spo* where he kicked. He had a other on? good for 54 yards and his average n 12 punts was 37 1 yards. Paul M ss. Purdue end, probtbly is i ;e Big Ten’s best pun-.er for j t uch. He can't hold up with Olson f, ■ distant - but ho can certainly control ’em. He punted four times against Kansas State, once cut of bounds on file 1 yard liijo, once out on the 4-yard line an! twice ih of j the 6 yard line. Harry Newman, Michigan a Jewish quarter! ck. is the best forward p sstr ill the Big Tea Five of Michigan's nine touchdowns against \ rthw stern O ii State and Illinois re sail d from Newman’s accurate throws.

™ i i —.—— ■< Purdue has a beautifully balanced offensive, and this year Kizer is using an even more varied and extensive attack than in the past. With a brilliant end like Paul Moss playing the role of both passer and punter, Purdue can build deception around him; while Roy Horstman. hard driving fullback, is not only a fine line plunger but is fast enough to be effective on sweeps, and halfbacks such as Hecker. Moore, Purvis and Carter can go places in a hurry when the blocking is effectively done. So. what? Well, it looks as if Coach “Jake” Uann of N. Y. U. will have to do some heavy master-mind-ing if he wants to figure out away to keep those rude Boilermakers from trampling on the Violets at the I Yankee Stadium this Saturday vaite’s Violets are not of the shrinking variety, though, so you never can tell—the boilermaking crew may be in for a surprise. Such things have happened before. emorKht. HU Etn* I'nlarn Sjnillau lac
