GOPHERS MEET BOILERMAKERS IN HARD GAME Purdue Will Make Determined Effort to Put Minnesotans Away Minneapolis, Oct. 12. big chap- ter in the history of Minnesota’s 1928 season in the Western Conference ‘will be written tomorrow, when Min- nesota meets the highly-touted Pur-} due eleven, conquerors last year of Harvard, Indiana and Northwestern. It will be the first of six straight conference games for Dr. Spears’ out- fit, and probably will be the hardest of them with the exception of the closing game with Wisconsin. Sees Hard Battle Anticipating the tightest kind of a| mi battle, the Minnesota coach is spend- ing overtime on his line, which bent at crucial spots in the Creighton battle, and is‘sitting up the rest of the night trying to decide whether Bronko Nagurski is more important at fullback or at tack! Apparent- ly Doc. Spears will have to solve this by getting 11 Nagurskis on the letting them draw lots to see where to play. But the probabil- ity that Ed Westphal’s eligibility troubles will be straightened out this week provides a ray of hope. If he » he may fill the pounds, and other ball carriers, like Guthrie, Harmeson, Miller and Cook are in the heavyweight class. Pur- due also has a stoutish line. All in all, it is admittedly the best team that has ever been produced at La- fayette, home of teams traditionally “feared by Stagg”.

Each team was accompanied by thousands of rooters. Outclassed in its line, Northwest- ern depended on its fleet backs to re- uulse Ohio state’s invasion. Two uckeye backs, Kruskamp and Hus- ton, are expected to be out of the game because of injuries. Mayes McLain, Iowa's husky full- back, was causing considerable in- terest and some consternation for Chicago as it prepared for the tussle.

Baby Bison hopes against the University of North Dakota year- lings at Grand Forks tomorrow. In “Cy” Lonsbrough, Fargo; Sam Westgate, Grafton; Johnny Fisher, Hillsboro, and Don Walsh of New Richmond, Wis., Coach Robert A. Lowe, believes he has a quartet of speed merchants able to cope with whatever Letich’s charges have to offer. “Cy” has looked especially good in scrimmages, fooling the var- sity defense in a number of instan- ces. Loni will play fullback, Westage a1 her at the halfback posts and Walsh, a heady general, at quarter. No such opt:.nism exists in regard td the line, however. While the line candidates have been working hard, they are below the standard set by the backfield men. Sykora; former- ly with Wahpeton Science, looks good at the center post, while Alvin Hong of Hillsboro, looms as the out- stan ing guard candidate.

Taxes Put End to Winter Net Game in France Paris, Oct. 12.—(AP)—Taxes have killed winter tennis in France and there will be no covered courts championships held here in 1929. The Christmas Cup, played yearly on the beautiful indoor courts of the Tennis Club of France, and where Cochet, Borotra and Boussus first asserted themselves as great players, has also been canceled. The deci: of the French Ten- nis Federation is the direct result of the judgment handed down by the Paris courts last May, assimi- lating tennis to the theaters and music-halls—“not a sport, but a spectacle,” the court ruled—and levying faxes ranging from twenty to thirty per cent, of the gross re- ceipts.
