NEW YORK, Nov. 17 (U.P.)—Lack of student support may cause Brooklyn College's football team to play all its 1939 games away from home, Coach Lou Oshins said today.

\Elward Can't Figure I. U.’s 1-Game Stand

Indiana Fray ‘In the Bag,’ He Says; Not Worried Over Loss of Two Guards.

By LEO DAUGHERTY Times Staff Writer

WEST LAFAYETTE, Nov. 17.— There is just one thing which Mal Elward, headmaster jof football at Purdue, can’t understand in con-

nection with next Saturday's annual Purdue-Indiana gridiron fight here. “That is what he terms “that strange philosophy of Bloomington.” He describes that philosophy of the hill country as being “it doesn’t make any difference if they lose all their games and then wind up by beating Purdue, they regard the season as a successful one.” Well, a victory over Indiana doesn’t make it a successful Purdue season as long as Mal Elward is the boss man. - “We don’t play it that way around here,” he said. “The boys here have had a tough season. Only lost to Minnesota and were tied by or did tie Fordham and Iowa. “We've taken each game as {it came along and that’s the way we're taking this one. I don’t want to get these kids all excited about the thing. It’s just another ball game for us. one.’ It looked for a while like the old

show up for practice. But Mal had sneaked into the building and sneaked into his togs and was out on the practice fieid waiting for the boys to show up. The man was in a splendid humor.

It Seems Everybody Thinks They'll Win

“Saturday's game?” he repeated. “Why, it's in the bag. boy, it’s in the bag. Why, starting at one o'clock Saturday afternoon I'm going to start on a vacation.” He didn’t mean that play at all. He checked signals and called it over again and modified his prediction. “I think we'll win,” he explained. “And the kids think they’ll win. We go into every. game thinking we're going to win. You can’t mage a success in life or in football if you approach the problem with fear, thinking you're going to lose.” Just about that time Dutch Fehring, coaching staff member who concentrates on the line, booted the ball about 60 yards and Mr. Elward remarked that he could use the gent but eligibility rules, which are something like the 44-hour wages an hour law, blocked him there. Coach Elward was asked about who he thinks might be the star for Purdue in this upcoming classic. “Say,” he sort of reprimanded. “This ball club isn’t a team of individuals. It's a unit and that’s the way they play. I'll bet you that after the. opening kickoff these kids never hear any. cheers and never realize that there is anyone in the stands.” Because he figures his team as a unit, rather than one of individual players, Mal isn’t a bit worried over the fact that injuries have two good guards benched out. They're Jimmy Maloney, whose arm was broken against Ohio State, and Carl Verplank. Elward said he wasn't getting ready for an unusual ball game because if a coach does that he gets his players all “hopped up” and they go blooey.

‘CRIMSON PHILOSOPHY’

Here are those flashing Purdue Boilermaker backs who have been riding high all season. It is the quartet which is to charge against Bo McMillin's Hoosiers in the battle

for the famed Old Oaken Bucket at West Lafayette Saturday. right, are Jack Brown, Lou Brock, Tony Ippolito and Ted Hennis.

STRANGE TO MAL

The huskies, from left to

ers like in baseball, he said that he wouldn't be in the market for any one or any two backs to take Lou Brock’s place. Some of the boys seem to be tiring a bit of this day in and day out practice, but even so, the word around here is that last Saturday when the team was idle the boys got the jitters because they didn't have anything to do. Outside of Maloney and Verplank, Purdue will have ail .its might for the Old Oaken Bucket battle.

Expect Largest Crowd In Purdue's History

The starting backfield will include Indianapolis’ Jack Brown, Lou Brock, Tony Ippolito and Ted Hennis. Paul Humphrey, Joe Mihal, Bill Vergane et al are all ready for line work. The Purdue student paper certainly has been ribbing the Indianas. A headline said something about Purdue having to break Indiana's winning streak. One of the journalism class wits wrote about Indiana having the Boilermaker Blues and that Indiana can’t kick the bucket because the bucket is at Pur= due.At any rate, Purdue is running Saturday's show and with bleachers at the end zone, preparations have been made to handle a crowd of 32,000, the largest in Purdue’s history and the largest in the history of the Indiana-Purdue series.

\Park Eleven Shades

Silent Hoosiers, 6-0

The Park School eleven remained undefeated today. However, it was only the steady driving of Bill Elder, fullback, that enabled the Reichelmen to shade the Silent Hoosiers yesterday, 6 to 0. Marion Carter and Bill Elder were

the only ball carriers who could gain yards through the stout Deaf School team. The, first half seesawed up and

down the Hoosiers’ field. Twice Park threatened but fumbles stopped their drives. The Red and Black were on the march again as the gun barked. After an exchange of kicks in the third period, Park set back the Silents when Carter ‘punted to their 10. A kick out went only to the 25 from where the Reichelmen launched another charge, Bill Elder going over from the 1-yard ilne. The pass for point failed. Park will meet Culver Academy, at Culver in a post-season tilt on Thanksgiving Day.

Too Late to Teach Boys New Tricks

“We're just getting ready,” he said, “to meet the same Indiana team which played the socks off Ohio State in its opening game even if it did lose. I don’t care what the papers say. That's the ball club which will be trotted out on that field over here against us Saturday.” Elward said that he wasn’t brewing up any new plays for those invading Hoosiers. He said the Boilermakers have about 15 and that’s all he expects a bunch. of boys to get down pat in one short cam< paign. “Try to teach them new ones at this stage of the game and they get all mixed up,” he explained. Purdue's pilot said before the season opened that he thought Ted Hennis, halfback, was one of the best blockers in the Big Ten, if not one of the best in the country. And he still thinks so at this end of the drive. If it were possible to trade play-
