A Large Number of Big Men AreFootball Candidates.LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 13.—-Regular football practice began Wednesday afternoon with some thirty candidates on the field. The majority of» ,the men now here are trying for the► * * '•••*'team for the first time, and Purdue has never mustered as many big green men as this fall. Capt. John Miller was much pleased with the appearanceof the candidates, and says if they. w . * • .,can play in proportion to their size t Purdue will have a great team this 1, - ' . • . : . • • ; - • ‘ ? . ifall. Few. of th§ old men are back, but they will all be here by the first of next week.* • • * • i # : ’* * * , •• • t,The squad is handicapped this week by the sickness of Trainer Hyland, as his services are more in demand at this time than later. The men are4 «much more likely to get hurt in the first few days of practice, before they are. hard, and unless the bruises and sprains are carefully and promptly treated, they often develop weaknesses later in the season which interfere greatly with their effectiveness. Coach Bailiet will not line the men up for a scrimmage until Hyland is able to look after the rubbing boards. : ' ; !
