LOY MAKES GOOD AT PURDUEFormer Topeka High Schools Star Pitches No-Hit Game.Kauffman and Weaver of Shipshe-wana Also Make Good Showing.The many friends of Noler Loy will be glad to hear that his ability as a base ball pitcher has won for him marked recognition from the Purdue coachers. The pitching of a 110-hit, no-run game is alway^remembered for years and places the pitcher in a class to which few ever attain. Loy in one of the first spring games at Purdue, pitched a no-hit, no-run game and the fact that twenty strike-outs were credited to him shows that he deserved much of the credit for winning. In the inter-class track meet he won points in the High jump.He has not had a chance to tryout for foot ball but those who remember his playing on Hostetter field when the Topeka High School foot ball team was one of the best in the state have every reason tobelieve that he will male good there as well as in ba|e ball.Loy has made man^ friends in the year he has been at Purdue and we have the reason in as short a way as it could be stated from ‘Snowy Clark,” Purdue’s trainer, who said, “Loy is a right goodkid.”Roy Kauffman, of Shipshewana, who pitched for his High School when Loy was at Topeka is considered another Freshman find. Loy and Kauffman are being counted on to do the Purdue varsity pitching next year. Weaver, of Shipshewana was one of Purdue’s best players this year, so there is every reason to believe that next year the two neighboring town, Topeka and Shipshewana will furnish about one fourth of the varsity base ball squad at Purdue.r
