  PUR = l. g, PU r . u :. CON T EST Northwestern Is Popped Up by Michigan Victory at Lafayette Saturday. Bu Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind. Nov. IL Northwestern, strengthened in spirit by the victory over Michigan, and with an added punch to it’s offense and defense, due 70 the return Of Ralph Baker, the great half back, will invade the Purdue Ross-Ade stadium next Saturday afternoon for the thirteenth encounter between the two schools. 1t is Homecoming day at Purdue. Local dopesters figure it will take a dry field to give the Boilermakers an even break, and that they will be handicapped should a wet field be experienced. Purdue has not had a chance to display it’s ability on a hard, fast gridiron since the first Of the season. Franklin proved a rough customer for the Boilermakers to hurdle last Saturday, although once the regulars got into heavy action the result was never in doubt. Coach Kizer is giving the Purdue forward wall particular attention this week, with a view to stopping the charging of the heavy Purple backs AS has been the case in two Big Ten games so far this year, Purdue will be outweighed by North western, and will have to make up for this handicap by added speed in the line and the back field. The ticket sale for the game is moving along most satisfactorily, acording to Ticket Manager Doan, but there are remaining a few choice seats which may be obtained by quick action.
