Eckersa1l, Steffen and Iddings of the Chicago team, were the sensations of the game. Frequent gains of 20 to rs yards were made by these stars. Purdue played well but the team was outclassed. Chicago was SO fast that the heavier visitors were mystifed. The game was the first of import ance in the West under the new rules and the fans confessed themselves surprised at the wonderful improve ment wrought by the change. The Maroons found the rule against hurdling the hardest and both teams were penalized on this account.
