Stubborn Jerry Brondfield of NEA and Henry Super of the United Press are the two chief dissenters and virtually turn up their respective noses at what our own Eddie Ash, Notre Dame’s Elmer Layden and Bob Godley consider sure

It'll Be Hurlin® Hal Against Cowboy Jack Tomorrow

Here are the two stars that will be brought together tomorrow in the Indiana-Texas football game. Hal Hursh (left) is the chief

pitcher for Bo McMillin’'s Hoosiers, while Cowboy Jack Crain uses those feet for other things than kicking.

in Bloomington’s Memorial Stadium.

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—Upsets ave born of the will to win—and armed with a truly amazing spirit, Purdue’s underpowered Boilermakers invade Ohio State tomorrow to meet the wonder team in the opening game of the Western Con-~ ference football season. On comparative | strength, it's Ohio State by a mile. But something else registers in football—the something that carried Illinois above its scoreless tie against little Bradley Tech to victory over Michigan last year—and Purdue has it in quantities.

Lots of Heart at Purdue

On that spirit rests Purdue's only hopes. The giant Bucks, speedy and sharply drilled for all their beef, have earned their rating as a favorite; to repeat for the championship by routing Pittsburgh, 30 to 7. All the rest are in action this week, two in highly important nonConference games. Minnesota and Texas at Indiana will rank with any game in the nation tomorrow.

Times Special

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 4—Coach Dana X, Bible and 35 Texas Longhorn football players left here this morning shortly after nine for a gridiron engagement with Bo McMillin’s Indiana eleven tomorrow

afternoon.

On arriving at Indianapolis this afternoon, the Texas players will

take a short work-out on the Butler University Bowl.

The Longhorns

will stay at the Indianapolis Athletic Club tonight, taking a special train to Bloomington tomorrow morning. The famed Texas broken-field runner, Jack Crain, left St. Louis in

full cowboy regalia—boots, lariat, and all.

The cowboy appeared to be

ready for Indiana, though still suffering slightly with a cold and a bruised hip. The rest of the Texans were in fine condition. Indiana has scouted the Texas eleven in two games, but the Texas ‘coaches didn’t get a chance to see the Hoosiers play. However, Coach Bible stated that they weren't going to Indiana with any excuses.

“We don’t know a lot about them, but we're prepared to take anything they throw at us,” commented End Coach Blair Cherry. The probable starting lineup for Texas is:

Hawthorne (200), ends; Williams

Sweeney (185) and

(215) and Garrett (205), tackles:

Basey (185) and Daniel (188), guards; Goodwin (185), center; Gill (168), quarterback: Sanders (197), left half; Park (175), right half, and

Layden (175), fullback.

But not for what you'd think.

[None questions Scott's ability as a

At Indiana, it's Hurlin’ Hal Hursh of Indiana ‘against Jackrabbit Crain of Texas. Both can run and pass.
