pum the days when the Carlisle Indian school was in- the major football league, many of the gridders played anywhere :from + four to six years. . . . The same held good at Haskell Indian school ‘over 'a period of years, a fact which Knute Rockne turned into s . laugh while coaching one of his Notre Dame teams how to play Haskell. The yarn is unwound by Tom Meany in the current edition of the Saturday Evening Post in an article on football scouting. “Rockne,” pens Meany, “was instructing his players in:the defensive and offensive manéuvers to be used against Haskell. Just before game time. _* “Grouped around Rockne were Frank Thomas, Chet Wynne, Buck . Shaw, Harry Mehre, Judge Carberry, Hunk Anderson and Tom Lieb, » to name a few.

score a touchdown in three -tilts— against Ohio.State, Illinois and Nes braska. : The “scoreless wonders” — they made two points against Illinois— have been holding ‘secret practice sessions this week as Coach Bo McMillin sought to draw out the squad’s latent power.

The Wildcats, who were coached 'by McMillin before he came io In‘diana, ‘are a speedy and versatile offensive outfit’ and can prove a hard test to the Crimson’ stubborn defense.

Speed to Be Keynote oh Big Ten Battle; Expect Few Lineup Changes.

Times Special LAFAYETTE, Oct. no rest for Purdue. Still breathless from the sevond half rally - that netted a tie with Fordham and the defensive stand against - Minnesota, the battling Boilermakers will face Wisconsin's Badgers in the annual home-coming attraction in Ross-Ade stadium here Saturday. The up and SOIR. Badgers, admittedly much stronger .than their lone defeat by Pittsburgh would indicate, will present a deceptive combination that is rated on a par with the Boilermakers. Wisconsin has a versatile attack that has been gaining ground with remarkable consistency. Against Iowa, the Badgers virtually ran : wild; ‘while even in the Pittsburgh loss: Stuhldreher’s eleven kept pace in the grouhd-gaining column, ; Although the Badgers may rule as ‘the . Boilermakers surprised their most optimistic sup-

porters with their stands’ against Minnesota and Fordham: =~ :® .
