u. sauiet, brilliant Princeton center of the 1893 eleven, rather small out playing between two giant guards, came to Purdue in 1894 and did mere and more for football. The Purdue teams of 1894 and 1895 coached by uaiuet were great elevens. Thompson says that the rush line and the running rant were used br ruraue in 1890, 1891 and 1892. Purdue's line was heavy and the back iieia light, Thompson writes.

A. P. Jamison became halfback in 1832, with J. M. Studebaker a sensational punter, as fullback.

With due respect for the ability of Purdue's 1832 football squad, but confidence in Its own ability to at least make it Interesting for the Boiler Makers, the Kansas State College football squad left here Thursday en route for Lafayette, where they win practice Friday afternoon. Bo McMlllin's Purple Wildcats, who will be green clad when meet Purdue, opened their season Saturday with a 26 to 0 victory over Wichita University.

The Wichita team last season tied for the rhamrrfmrtMp of the Central conference and had a powerful offensive wallop, but in the game Saturday seemed dazed by the sudden opening drive for a touchdown which Kansas State put on and never came off the defensive during the rest of the game, making only one earned first down. The game itself produced no serious injuries, but the last practice before It resulted in Injury to Stoner, sophomore half and a much needed reserve punter and ball lugger, which apparently will keep him at home this week end. Ramming Ralph Graham, Kansas State's plunging fullback, made 25 of his team's 28 points, crashing over for four touchdowns and kicking the extra point in his only attempt. Though Graham made the final scoring plunge, the work of Breen, Bush by, and Shaffer, and Russell, Kirk and McAtee. sophomores, was largely responsible for getting the ball Into scoring position.
