...through a snappy signal drill on the Stadium turf late yesterday afternoon. This team which will represent Purdue against the University this afternoon at 3 o'clock will go into today's game outweighed by almost 14 pounds to the man. What they lack in weight the Westerners will attempt to make up in speed and accurate handling of the ball. Few plays, according to information gathered in the Boilermaker's camp yesterday afternoon, are likely to be directed at the Crimson guards this afternoon. Off tackle slants, and sweeps, and a deadly forward pass are the weapons which have...
Next week, the Boilermakers will invade New England for the first time. What will be the results of that game are uncertain except in the minds of the Boilermakers: But, let it be said every man on the team that will attempt to efface the Crimson of "dear old Harvard" will do his level best to let the East know that somewhere in a hamlet in the Middle West is located a school called Purdue...

The entire cast had the verve and spontaneity which comes only without rehearsal. Individual bits of skilful characterization and subtle nuance were too numerous commendation. Certainly the achievement of the football squad, even under the handicap of mere practice, contrasts sharply with the inability of the Dramatic Club's finest to gain...
...side with the mightiest deeds in the history of the great. It may be purely a weakness for the anecdote, but more often it is the recognition of an intrinsic merit of personal method, which ranks the first trans-atlantic passage on a popular par with the first successful attempt to stand an egg on end. And so it may be that unborn generations of Harvard Presidents will mention in the same breath the development of the tutorial system with the creation of a standard and unmistakable set of Harvard crockery. Both will be remembered as unique differing...
