Wisconsin Threatens Offensive Battle Looms in Tilt at Purdue Saturday. By Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., Oct. 13.—A brilliant offensive battle is in prospect here Saturday, when Wisconsin's surprising eleven turns loose 1 its full scoring power against Purdue in the Boilermakers' home--coming engagement. The battle will mark the last home appearance of i the Old Gold and Black until the Indiana game on Nov. 19. Wisconsin’s rejuvenated eleven, which looms as the newest title i threat on the Big Ten horizon, is blessed with an abundant supply of speedy backs that ran amuck against lowa last Saturday. In Joe Linfor, outstanding sophomore; Mickey McGuire, veteran half back, and Hal Smith, plunging full back, the Badgers will prej cent a versatile ball-carrying combination that has power, speed and deception. Purdue's starting lineup for the | crucial game was expected to be determined to a large extent by showing of players in today's workout. Coach Noble Kizer, with a full j supply of capable backs and linemen, sought the best possible combination to throw against the Badg- | ers. Duane Purvis, husky sopho- ! more, who went well in the season’s opener against the Kansas Aggies, j may be a starter Saturday with an j opportunity to show his best.

Alabama-Tennessee Tussle May Settle Southern Title
Rfl'imrx Special Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 13. Unless Dixie football critics and experts afe all haywire in their predictions, the Southern Conference gridiron championship just about will be settled at Birmingham, Ala., Saturday afternoon. Two giants of southern football, the University of Tennessee and the University of Alabama clash in their annual battle. The wise boys are saying that the winner will sport the S. I. C. crown, disregarding the fact that both Tennessee and Alabama later play Vanderbilt, another power on the southern gridiron. Tennessee teams have lost only two games In the last six years, one to Vanderbilt in 1927, and the other to Alabama in 1930. Frank Thomas, a student of the Notre Dame system, is the head coach at Alabama. Before his sys-
