  MARooNs BEAT PURDUE STAGG FIELD, CHICAGO, Oct. &. -Chicago’s Goddess of Fortune beamed on Stagg field today, giving the Maroons a nine to nothing victory over Purdue. Two blocked kicks turned stubbornly fought battle into a Maroon victory, although both sides battled evenly most of the way. Chicago used the forward pass ef- fectively and several times forced the ball into deep boilermaker territory. The husky Indianans held at the cru cial points, however, and Chicago was unable to push the ball across. The game was largely a bunting duel with the ball on Purdue’s terri tory most of the time. Most of the Purdue forward passes were incomplete, while Chicago used the air route, usually for good results. Purdue fought desperately for a touchdown, but the Maroons line stiffened and the Indianans lost the ball on downs as the whistle blew. It was another victory to add to the clean slate Chicago has maintained at home over Purdue for 20 years.
