WHILE DISCUSSING football in general, Charles Johnson, writing in. the Minneapolis Star-Journal, has this to say about the upcoming Purdue at Minnesota game: “Reputations over a period of years mean much to football fans when they come to judging the ability

of certain schools. “No better example can we cite than the [Purdue Boilermakers who will invade Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon for the Gophers! last home game of the season and the last home appearance of quite a few stalwart Minnesota seniors. “Purdue teams have given Minnesota more trouble when least expected than any other big time school in the Western Conference. From the time that Jimmy Phelan went to Lafayette right down through the late Noble Kizer’s [regime up to today when the shrewd Mal Elward is mapping Purdue's football destinies, this school has won more than its share of major. laurels. ' “And in most cases, the Boilermakers have taken the Gopher; into camp unexpectedly. Minnesota will be in|such a fix Saturday when the luckless Boilermakers return to | Memorial Stadium. They'll come here with a record that certainly isn’t impressive, but which should be better than it is considering all of the bad breaks they have had. : . “Purdue has always stressed speed and trickiness behind sound coaching | of good natural ability. This year isn’t any exception.

Cites Reasons for Fearing Purdue

“MAIL ELWARD has speed and this Saturday his team should be in top physical form because Mike Byelene, the team’s ace, should be normal again after weeks of idleness with a broken wrist. “It's the type of team like Purdue that always pops up to pin back the ears of some strong favorite such) as Minnesota will be Saturday on past performances if nothing else. “It's always comparatively easy to steam up an underdog for something more than a supreme effort. Purdue will be in that category in the Memorial Stadium finale.” Well said, Mr. Johnson . , . and the Purdue warriors hope to achieve exactly what you fear. ... They are out to win, come rain or blizzard and Minnesota fans are guaranteed a rousing battle . on the part of the Boiling Boilermakers. : #8 8, 218 =» THE annual football banquet given by the Lafayette Kiwanis Club in honor of the Purdue team and coaching staff is to be held on Nov. 26, in the Purdue Union Bldg.!. That will be shortly after the Boilermakers and Indiana meet in the Hoosier Classic on Nov. 23, in Ross-Ade Stadium. Tim Cohane, writing in the New York World-Telegram: “The best football press box meals are served at Baker Field, Columbia University, Robert Harron provides sandwiches, coffee and two doughnuts neatly done up in a brown paper bag. The latter cai be taken home and saved for Sunday morning breakfast.”

Unsung Teams Have Their Fun

A GAME that has no bearing at all on anything except that it probably will provide tense excitement to the opposing teams and supporting student bodies will be played| at Richmond tomorrow when unvictorious Franklin battles unyictorious Earlham. Games| of this nature are just as much|a part of college football as the frenzied major attractions and the players are entitled to la lot of credit for turning out week after week to absorb the bumps and bruises in the interest of their schools. Unsung in the headlines, they are football players nevertheless and the character-building that the fall sport stresses is just as important in their field as it is in high-powered, bigbusiness competition. : Earlham has lost five games and tied one, Franklin has lost seven straight. . . . Tomorrow's game ends the season for both and. at kickoff time the rivals will be equally as determined to win as theif brothers under the skin who play. before crowds of 40,000 shrieking grandstand quarterbacks, I ” ” ” s ” ” 2 THE long, long 1940 gridiron trail ends for 12 Hoosier college elevens tomorrow and the healthy young chaps will have a sharp appetite warked up to tackle the Thanksgiving turkey and all the trimmings. |. . . Closing the season are Butler, DePauw, Wabash, Franklin, Earlham, Rose Poly, Evansville, Ball State, Indiana State, Manchester, Hanover and Valpardiso. Indiana ‘and Purdue will knock off a week from tomorrow at Lafayette and Notre Dame will invade Northwestern on the same day. . . . But the season does not close for the Irish gull Dec. 7 in Los Angeles where they tackle Howard Jones’ Southe California Trojans. St. cl College called it a season last week-end and Central

Normal concluded its schedule two weeks ago to get an early start on basketball.

Hats Off to Coach Tillotson,

For He Can Grin and Bear It

1 By I E. O'BRIEN FOR A GENTLEMAN who can grin and bear it, we offer you Roy E. Tillotson, The Franklin College football coach shows himself to be humorist and philosopher as well as pigskin teacher. Answering our essay of two days ago, in which we discussed Franklin fortunes to two figures right of the decimal point, he philosophizes: “Your figures on points scored by our téam are correct. I would like to add, however, that we have scored enough points to win most our games, but we couldn’t hold the other teams. “Now it x an established fact that if you|can't hold the other

team, you can’t often win.” Having passed out that rockribbed advice, Mr. Tillotson proceeds in a fashion that bears out our a his Grizzlie know the real value of first dow and touchdowns. Says he: We have scored the hard way this season. We made our two touchdowns against Transylvania with drives down the field. We scored two touchdowns against DeRauw and one each

was offered to—and accepted by— the same Iowa team last year. And, for that matter, in the only other gridiron meeting between the two schools, the Hawkeyes ended a 20game Irish streak, 10 to 7, in 1921. Tomorrow's game will signal the first visit of an Iowa football team to South Bend. The Irish hope to make it a memorable one, and to erase some of the stigma not only of the 7-to-6 Hawkeye victory of last year and the 10-to-7 affair of 1921, but also whatever loss of prestige may have been suffered in the last

two starts against Army and Navy. Although the Irish won, 7 to 0, from the Cadets, and 13 to 7 from a Middie team which had lost only one other game, some Eastern critics claim that the Irish either are not a top flight team or pulled their punches against their friendly rivals from the Service schools. >

Layden Answer Critics Coach Elmer Layden answered the charges by saying, “My reaction to those games is that our national defense is in good hands. Notre Dame has never had to hold back in its games with Army and Navy.”

As far as loss of prestige is concerned, Notre Dame played to a sell-

| |out crowd of 63,000 at Baltimore last

week, and will be within a few thousand of the 56,000 capacity of Natre Dame Stadium tomorrow. Ticiets will be available at the stadium up to game time ,and with good weather, the remaining ducats may be grabbed up. The Northwestern game at Evanston next week has been sold out for several weeks. The Hawkeyes, with nowhere. to go in the Big Ten race, will shoot the works tomorrow. Following Saturday's 14-to-6 defeat at the hands of Nebraska's Big Six champions, who in turn held mighty Minnesota to a 13-to-7 decision, Dr. Eddie Anderson, Hawkeye coach, said, “We're beginning to have a real football team. We'll make trouble for someone yet.”

Top Big Ten Scoring

Anderson, Notre Dame’s 1921 captain, and the “coach of the year” in 1939, has missed Nile Kinnick, last year’s great passer and punter whose heroics gave the Corn State boys second place in the Big Ten. But Big Bill Green, ace fullback, is tied with George Franck of Minnesota for thg Big Ten scoring lead and he is second to Franck in the Conference in yards gained from rushing. The game will be the last at home in Notre Dame uniform for Saggau, Gallagher, Capt. Piepul, O’Brien, Osterman, Kelly and Gubanich,

Butler University’s 1940 football team comes to the end of the road tomorrow — against the ‘Tolelo University Rockets and before a crowd swelled by high school seniors. What makes this North Side affair so important—at least to Butler —is that it gives the Bulldogs one final chance to win a non-con-ference game. Butler maintained its traditional invincibility in the Indiana Conference this autumn— smacking down St. Joseph's, Wabash, DePauw and Ball State. But against out-of-league and out-of-state competition, the men of Hinkle haven't fared so pleasantly. The Bulldogs never have been able to hit their non-conference stride since taking that Indian summer lacing from Purdue. Now comes Pop Hedden of the Butler intelligence division with word Toledo is as tough as any team on the Butler 1940 schedule —Purdue excepted. Add to that the fact that the Rockets are coached by Dr. Clarence W. Spears, as wily a gent as you'll find behind a college football team. Toledo boasts a season record of five wins and two losses—extra points costing the Rockets both defeats. They bowed to Scranton, 7-6, and to Baldwin-Wallace, 14-12. Tomorrow's game will be last in the college league for nine Butler seniors. They are Stanley Crawford, Columbus, O.; Bob Purkhiser, Willard, O.; Ralph Swager, Charleston, W. Va.; James Garwood, Michigan City; Harold Feichter, Ft. Wayne; Henry Abts, Syracuse; Doyle Dugger, Bloomfield, and John Reno and John Rabold of Indianapolis.

Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 15—There

e|is going to be a football game up

here tomorrow in this Arctic home of Minnesota's undefeated Gophers.

K Make no mistake about that.

Despite a howling blizzard that struck unseasonally and piled Memorial Stadium high with drifts, the Gophers and Purdue Boilermakers will meet as scheduled. The Gophers—taking advantage of their big athletic plant—have been practicing all week on their regulation indoor gridiron in the

Minnesota fieldhouse. The * field, meanwhile is well protected, and the weatherman says more seasonable weather is due tomorrow. There is no overconfidence hereabouts despite the general impression that Minnesota is across its most difficult hurdles. Astute Bernie Bierman has warned his men that the next two games are likely to be the most difficult of .the season, with both the Boilermakers and Badgers primed to spring an upset. The news that Mike Byelene of Purdue once more is ready to play also has brought the seriousness of the occasion home to the Gophers. To summarily evaluate the Gophers and to rate them with some of their illustrious predecessors is a bit difficult. The squad was distinctly a question mark at the start of the season and has been a gratifying surprise since then. The Boilermakers, who have pitched camp across the river in St. Paul, are loaded with confidence despite a string of setbacks. Boilermaker morale also was boosted with the knowledge that Byelene, his wrist again patched, would start at his halfback post.
