Maroons Promise Battle in Boilermakers' Tilt '!'hough the crushing defeat at the hands of Minnesota would not indicate the fact. the Maroons now claim to be one of the strongest teams in the Big Ten. The one problem fac-' ing Stagg is that of injuries, for in addition to the seven regulars who could not play againJ>t Minnesota, several more were injured by the Gophers. When Purdue comes to Stagg Field this Saturday, it will meet a team seasoned by a series of tough games and just beginning to find itself. The Boilermakers furnished the big upset of the week by holding the highly touted Wisconsin team to a tie. A good running attack, led by the famous "Pest" Welsh, and Jimmy Phelan's usual short passing game, will be the weapons of the Boilermakers. But Stagg's passing game had the Gophers running in circles last week, and only the inexperienced numerous substitutes kept the Maroons from running up a lot of scores. That passing formation had to be developed on Thursday and Friday, because injuries had kept the backfield men out of action most of the week. ..
