Psychological Warfare Hits Purdue Campus
LAFAYETTE; Ina, Nov. 19 (UP)—Purdue University officials believed today that Indiana University football fans were responsible for a plane dropping leaflets on the campus here, depreciating the school, its president, the football team and the coaching staff, The pamphlets said:
“What the hell can you expect with a kid prexy from Deah Old Oxford, with a bunch of hick students with no spirit, with an inexperienced high school coaching staff with 11 old men—flops of the year?” The pamphlets predicted that the score of tomorrow's game would be: “ I. U. 40, Cow College 0.”
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 19 (UP) — Indiana University students, poised for their football grudge battle with Purdue to-! morrow, picked up leaflets today which described Coach Clyde | Smith as “a Boy Scout troop| leader.” The leaflets, dropped from a plane yesterday, advertised an “auction” offering ‘“‘one institution of lower learning facetiously called Indiana University, one badly battered ballet troupe, one Boy: Scout troop leader named Clyde Smith, and 14,000 disappointed displaced persons.”

nothing, the results of the Illini games indicated the Buckeyes could give Michigan a whale of a battle, even though they lose. By the same token, Illinois’ score against Michigan, victors over Northwestern, 28 to 0] indicated the Ray Eliot eleven on its peak performance could give the Wildcats a tough game. Illinois was certain to be at a mental peak for the game, and some sources believed its poor performance against Ohio State was due to premature worry over Northwestern.

He boasts a fair record, having an average of 7.5 points per game with a .246 shooting average. He also is credited {under the BAA scoring system with nine assists. During his stint with the BAA, Mahnken has built a reputation of being one of the loop’s top rebound artists.
