  PURDUE DEFEATED. Northwestern University Took Foot ball Game, 20 to o. CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Northwestern Uni versity football eleven, at Evanston, defeated Purdue, 20 to 0. Purdue has played three hard games in the last week Chicago, Illinois and Northwestern and this is the only reason given by the Purdue men for their defeat. Reports previous to the game, sent from Purdue claimed that the Indiana men were not in bad condition, owing to their hard work, but that a substitute team would be put in against the Evanston men, as the substitutes were considered strong enough to defeat them. When time was called today the same men were lined up against the purple players who were defeated by Chicago a week ago, by a score Of A to 0, and the substitutes were not used until 1t was necessary. Before the game was finished Purdue had sent five men in to replace injured and tired players.
