CAMP PURDUE VS. NOTRE DAME.

Lafayette, Nov. 21.—The greatest football matinee staged on the Purdue gridiron in many years will be run off Saturday afternoon, November 23, when at 2 o’clock the Camp Purdue Boilermakers will meet the fighting Irish eleven from Notre Dame. Both teams are about evenly matched and it will be a titanic struggle that will be worth going miles to see. Purdue is represented by the best team fn years and the gridiron warriors have victories over Chicago, Michigan Aggies and Wabash hanging from their belts. Notre Dame is also represented by a stalwart team, as was evidenced in the stellar performance staged against the Great Lakes, when they played a tie score of 7 to 7. Notre Dame beat Wabash 66 to 7, while Purdue beat the Little Giants 53 to 7. Purdue, however, 'beat Michigan Aggies 14 to 6, while the Aggies beat the Irish 13 to 7. With these games as a basis of deduction, the speculative outcome of next Saturday’s game is a fifty-fifty proposition. Realizing that Notre Dame is never outfought, Coach Scanlon of the Boilermaker squad is working hard this week to develop a team whose defense will be impregnable and whose offense will cause a victory to be registered over the Irish. The ’largest crowd of the season is expected to attend the game. Purdue alumini mem'bers from all over the country are sending in letters requesting that ’seat reservations be made, and it premises to be the biggest home coming event held at Old Purdue in years. The Purdue squad is in good shape physically, excepting Hargrave, who had his nose broken in the clash with Wabash; Mclntosh, who was injured iin scrimmage this week, and Daly, who has been indisposed during the week, 'because of sore muscles.
