  UNDEFEATED BADGERS COMING TO PURDUE Game to Open Ten Action for Kizermen BoiIermaker Win Saturday Would Make Up for Early Losses. BIZ Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 13.-Unsuccessful in two games against non conference opponents, Purdue will open its Big Ten competition here against the undefeated Wisconsin Badgers. The Boilermakers, grim and deter mined after losses to Rice and Notre Dame, will be ~underdog to the Bad gers, who have downed Marquette and South Dakota State. Injuries have disrupted progress of Coach Noble Kizer’s Purdue squad from the start. At present, Duane Purvis, all-America half back, is not able to play. He has been given a two weeks vacation after recurrence on an old ankle injury. Others On the Purdue injury list are Dick Sandefur, full back, who has a broken nose; Ed Skoronski, center, who is slowly recovering from a wrenched back, and George Dennis, guard, nursing a broken hand. SOpnS 10 ASSIST carter Kizer’s chief consolation seems to be the fact that he has intact the same back field combination which scored Purdue’s only touchdown against Notre Dame last Saturday. The four are jim Carter, left half back, around whom offensive plays for the coming tussle are being built; Leon Daley, right half back and expert punter; John Drake, sophomore full back, and Wayne Gift, sophomore quarter back. The last named, a chunky player, has been an excellent blocker and defensive man along with his often Sive playing. Despite Purdue’S two losses, Jim Carter has been averaging we’ll over four yards per try on running plays from scrimmage. He displayed his old e~lusiveneSS last Saturday when he scored for Purdue in the last quarter. Drake, despite ineXperience, has been playing a courageous game at both offense and defense. Badgers Have Good Kicker Tackling drills have been emphasized in the Boilermakers’ drill this week, as indecisive work in that department, rather than getting at the ball carriers, proved costly against Notre Dame. Wisconsin’s outstanding perform ers include Tom Fontaine, who threw a twenty-two-yard pass to start the Badgers scoring in their 28–⁠7 win ver South Dakota State last Saturday, and Mario Pacatti, husky tackle, whose placement kick defeated Marquette, 30. George Dehnert, Badger substitute full back, showed ability last week by scoring two touchdowns.
