(Continued on Page 7) 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.

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 to this coming contest with tale Cardinals. Purdue has not succeed- 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.

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. Subscribe to The Michigan Daily,j $4.00 per year. It's worth it! 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. .. ' F Y x NEW YORK PUCK TEAM BUYS DYE IN ATTEMPT TO BOLSTER TEAM (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 17-New YorkI Americans of the national profes- sional hockey league have purchas- ed Cecil "Babe" Dye from the Chi- cago Blackhawks for a sum report- ed to have been in the neighbor-i hood of $15,000. ; Dye, a heavy scorer, suffered a fractured ankle just before the start of the season last year and played in only a few games. Acquisition of the Chicago star gives the Americans, who finished in the cellar last season, six new players. The others are Johnny Sheppard of Detroit, Connors from Boston, Punch Broadbent from Ot- awa, Rabbit McVeigh from Chicago and Jess Spring from Niagara of the Canadian league. .._ d U *1 >< _, .. .
