Ive I've tried to follow that principle at Purdue although there Is a n le legend legend leg leg- en end on the camps that I was Indirectly Indirectly Indirectly Indi Indi- responsible for the greatest season the university ever cyer ha had My oldest son Richard Allen was born in the morning of the game with Michigan In 1929 That afternoon Purdue went into the thelast last Jast ast quarter losing by 16 6 16 6 and came out of it winning 30 30 16 16 after after af af- af ter having scored four quick touch touch- downs The team then went lent on onto onto onto to finish the se season son undefeated and arid untied the Western Conference champion Ever since that time Richard and I have been regarded as unofficial ma mascots cots of the team Purdue and football have been connected with

that time Purdue has won 36 games tied 2 and lost 6 6 2 2 of them by 1 point There are advantages to compensate compensate sate for the worry a football coach and and his wife wife suffers I do nol
