Although some Seniors were a little afraid that perhaps they would not have the opportunity of setting on a rather long journey their far-famed derbies, they finally were able to make the air black with them. On a field where boats could have been used to advantage, the Old Gold and Black swam to victory. And, it might also be said the margin of victory was as large as anyone could desire. On a water-soaked field, the exact strength of a team cannot be exactly determined, but nevertheless every loyal Boilermaker looks forward to seeing the best team that has represented Purdue, in action throughout the year.

Last year, the team received a rather glorifying defeat at the hands of the Navy, a defeat which seemed to make others besides ourselves realize that greater things were in store, for Purdue. This year is on its way, and from the start, it is going to be a PURDUE YEAR.

Next week, the Boilermakers will invade New England for the first time. What will be the results of that game are uncertain except in the minds of the Boilermakers: But, let it be said every man on the team that will attempt to efface the Crimson of "dear old Harvard" will do his level best to let the East know that somewhere in a hamlet in the Middle West is located a school called Purdue.

The East heard us last year, and we hope that Saturday they will hear us ROAR. The Purdue Exponent.
