Purdue is considered hopelessly out of the running. Results of the interscctional contests the Michigan Syracuse game, and the clash between Indiana and Tufts-were big surprises to close followers of the western football The fact that Indiana scored a touchdown on Tufts-the only touch down registered against the eastern elevens this season, is hailed as a tri- umph for Coach Steihm’s players, for they entered the game with the expec- tations of being trounced by an over Whelming score.
