CONTEST OF WILDCATS .
WILL BRING TOGETHER .
PURPLE AND KENTUCKY1
(Special To The Daily)
EVANSTON, Oct. 17-It will be
wildcats against wildcats when
Northwestern and Kentucky meet
in Dyche stadium here Saturday.
Both teams are nicknamed the
"Wildcats" and if their names mean
anything, the coming contest1
should see some ferocious fighting.
Two players on the Kentucky
eleven are brothers of famous grid
stars. Ed Covington, shifty half-
back, is a brother of Herb Coving-
ton, all-American quarterback at
Centre college several years ago
when that institution was turning
out its great elevens, and Sandy
Nowack, regular end on the Ken-
tucky team, is a brother of "Butch"
Nowack, captain of the University
of Illinois eleven this year.
Dixie Line Is Heavy
The Dixie team has one of the
heaviest elevens in the South and
judging from its victory over Wash-!
ington and Lee last -Saturday is in'
line for high honors among the
southern teams this year. The Ken-
tucky line averages 192 pounds.
Besides meeting the Kentucky
Wildcats, Northwestern will also
tackle the Notre Dame second team
in a game which will open the af-
ternoon's activities.
Several members of the Purple
squad who faced Ohio last Satur-
day will be unable to participate in
the Kentucky game because of in-
juries. Harry Kent, tackle, receiv-
ed a serious leg injury which willl
keep him on the sidelines for sev-
eral weeks. Others who were dis-
abled but may be able to get in
shape by Saturday are Leo Hanley,
quarterback, and Larry Oliphant,
end.

game between Wisconsin and Pur-
due will be the thirteenth meeting I
of the two teams during their foot-
ball relationship.
The Badgers, hopeful and anxi-I
ous to open their Conference slate
with a victory, will journey to Laf-
ayette on the week-end to face a,
Purdue eleven, set to atone for its
loss to Minnesota last week. The
Boilermakers have selected their
annual Homecoming game for this
purpose, and the Wisconsin coaches
are now busily engaged in keying
their boys for' this important clash.
If tradition plays any part in a
football game these days, Phelanj
will have a sound argument upon
which to base his 'fight talk' prior

ed in downing the Badgers since.
the first time these two schools
met on the gridiron. Twice the
Boilermakers have come very close,
but in the 12 played their victories
total one.
Cardinals Have Edge
Wisconsin went down to defeat
in 1892, when one of the early Bad-
ger teams fell by the score of 32
to 4. Twice since then the Boiler-
makers have earned a tie verdict,
but the other nine games have
been taken by Wisconsin. In 1913
a 7 to 7 score thwarted the Purdue
boys in their effort to shake the
jinx, while two years ago at Ross-
Ade stadium, the Badgers and the
Phelanites battled to a scoreless
' tie.
Last fall at Camp Randall, 'Pest'
Welch and his mates were defeat-
ed by the margin of one touchdown
not long after they had soundly
thrashed Harvard to the satisfac-
tion of the Middle West and thou-
sands of other football f a n s
throughout the country. From
1916 until 1925 Purdue and Wiscon-
sin played no football games. The
relationship was renewed when
George Little came to take over
the Cardinal athletic generalship.
Under Phelan, Purdue has be-
come a real factor in Big Ten foot-
ball. His loss to the strong Gopher
machine, heavy favorites for the
title, was in no manner an indica-
tion of weakness. The Boilermak-
ers' backfield is known to be as
versatile and clever as any in the
Conference, and Welch's punting is
exceptional.

ALLEGHENY TEAM'S AERIAL GAME
EXPECTED TO TROUBLE PANTHERS
(Special To The Daily)
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 17-A
different Alleghefly college grid
team will invade the Pittsburgh
stadium next Saturday to battle a
Panther eleven, which, like all
teams, can be beaten. This was
proved to the satisfaction of West
Virginia last Saturday.
Last year Pitt ran up the largest
score of the season by walloping
the Meadville boys, 52-0. The Alle-
gheny outfit was composed largely
of sophomores, so the same play-
ers, with a lot more football knowl-
edge under their hats, are deter-
mined to wipe out that humiliat-
ing memory.
After holding Dartmouth for
three quarters last Saturday, Alle-
gheny gave way in the final period
to lose a stiff battle, 37 to 12.
Allegheny p a s s e d frequ6ntly,
completing nine out of 19. Both
their scores were the result of an
aerial attack, the first one coming
on a long pass to Hughes, Alle-
gheny end.
Emphatic proof was evinced in
the West Virginia game that Pitt l
is sadly wanting in an aerial de-
fense. Coach Sutherland will drill
his, men in forward pass tactics
throughout this week to combatl
the touted pass attack of the in-'
vaders.

B Team To Play Ohio1
On FerryField Gridl
Ferry field will again be used for
football contests as a result of the
decision to play the Ohio State-
Michigan reserve team's game there
Saturday. The fray is scheduled
to start at 2:30 o'clock in the af-
ternoon.
The Buckeyes will be the first' of
the Conference "B" teams that the
Michigan junior varsity will meet.
This game and the tilt with the
Wisconsin reserves at Madison on
the following= Saturday are the
hardest games on the schedule.
Student coupons will be honored
Saturday. Tickets may be purchas-
ed at game time, the admission
price being one dollar.'
Hoosiers held the Wolverines to a
negligible quantity of ground gain-
ed by plunging, and in the last
quarter literally tore the Michigan
forward wall to shreds. And this
despite the fact that their defen-
sive captain, "Rags" Matthews,
seems to nave ittie to work witn.
The Indians have had little diffi-
culty in winning their first two
games from Bradley and Coe, but
their strength is as yet untried.
And to add to Coach Zuppke's wor-
ries, reserves are scarce.

sional hockey league have purchas-
