At present there are twentyeight men on the St/ Joseph squad, eight of this number being veterans. Coach Moore has plenty of weight in his line, augmented by a fast shifty set of backs, and the Red and Purple team is going to be a hard one to stop. The coach is enthusiastic over the outlook and believes that he has a winning eleven under the process of construction. ... . ~ The Morocco A. C. wiH probably firovide the opposition for the colegians on October 24 at the college campus, and negotiations are under way for the scheduling -of the 'Purdue Freshmen here in November. Wellman, former St. Joe fullback and general all round athlete, who is a great favorite at the local school, is playing the fullback position on the Purdua First year team and has made a very favorable impression, the Lafayette Journal speaking of him as being equal of Gipp in delivering forward passes.
