Purdue-Indiana Game to Be A Hard-Fought Contest.

Bloomington will be the scene of the great Purdue-Indiana game next Saturday and a special train from Lafayette will take about 1,500 rooters for Purdue. It is planned that some will go from Rensselaer. Indiana is planning for a great celebration in case of victory and has a brush pile 200 feet high which will be set off if they win. Purdue, on the other hand, is providing for a great celebration if they win the game and after their special returns to Lafayette they will engage in their night-gdwn parade of the down-town streets and be given a free show at the Family theatre. Last year the manager of the theatre refused to give the free show and the students almost wrecked the theater, threw eggs at the police and raised cain generally. There was talk this year of denying the free show, but a conference of the police, the mayor, the show manager and President Stone, of the University, decided to give the free performance in case The game will decide the state' championship and the “dope” indicates two very evenly matched teams.
