Head coaches
Princeton center D. M. Balliet arrived as Purdue coach by mid-September but departed later that month, before any games were played, to take back his old position on the Princeton team.[3][4][5] He was replaced by M. P. Randolph, also of Princeton, who led the Boilermakers until leaving on November 6 to coach and play for the Columbia Athletic Club of Washington, DC.[4][6] Edward Seixas of the Chicago Athletic Association took charge of the team for its last two games.[5][7][8][9]
The Purdue yearbook listed all three men as coaches;[10] however, the school's football media guide credits only Balliet.[2]
