Nov. 23. — (United Press.) - Out of a season of upsets and othei queer statistics, Michigan emerges as the strongest team in the Big Ten football conference and has the best claim to .a title.

Northwestern and Wisconsin finish 1 ed their seasons with the next best ' records and some of the dopesters P claim Northwestern has an equa ‘I claim with Michigan for the champ .ionship. this being based on the fact that Northwestern lost only one game • and gave Michigan its only beating. On the basis of figures, however Michigan stands a pre-eminent with ■. five victories and one defeat for i> J percentage of .833. Northwestern i and Wisconsin each won three ant ' lost one for a percentage of .750 but ■ tile Badgers played one more ganu 'and obtained a tie in that encounter Never before has this situatioi arisen in the Big Ten. On other occasions the leading team may hav< 1 lost one game but that defeat has not been at the hands of the secom best team. Northwestern partisan: will argue that Michigan can't bt given an edge on the Wildcats sines Northwestern beat Michigan but j Wolverine enthusiasts will reply that Michigan played a tougher and long i er schedule and piled up a total scon of 227 against opponents' three. | About the only answer to the puzzlt is the list of accomplishments from t which anybody can pick his own champions. The standing follows: Team W. L. T. Pct . Michigan 5 1 0 .832 Northwestern 3 1 0 .750 Wisconsin 3 11 .75C Illinois 2 2 0 .500 lowa 2 2 0 .50( Chicago 2 2 1 .500 Minnesota .... 11l .50( Ohio State ... 13 1 .256 I Indiana (• 3 1 .out I Purdue ... 0 3 1 .000 | As for individual performances, Red Grange continued the leading playei of the conference. Hfs total yardage far surpassed the greatest efforts of I any other Big Ten athlete, although his biggest field day was in the intersectional game with Penn. Benny Friedman. Michigan’s great back, was the highest jtoint scorer 1 with at total of 52. which were made by four touchdowns, two field goals, and 22 points after touchdown. Nick Kntsch of lowa was second with 49 points, although he didn't score a point in the last month of the season, being kept on the sidelines most of the game. Oesterbaan of Michigan scored 48 points, Almquist of Minnesota. 45; and Grange, 36. Melenda of Michigan tied Grange at that figure. o

Indiana And Purdue Teams Battle To Scoreless Tie Bloomington. Iml., Nov. 23. —All at- ‘ ternoon Saturday under a cloudless southern Indiana sky. the old Hold and Black of Purdue and the Crimson of Indiana raged and stormed back ' and forth over the white chalk marks of Indiana’s new stadium and when the ' battle was over, the team s were left ' just where they started. It was a scoreless tie, neither of the Hoosier 1 rivals being able to push across the precious points needed to win. If there is any glory in a scoreless tie, it rests with the boys in the bright crimson jerseys, who were fighting to dedicate their handsome new stadium with a victory. Less than a yard separated the Indiana team from victory on three different occasions. Twice it was through place kick attempts by Bliner that barely missed their mark and once on a sensational run by Larry Marks, who galloped almost the entire length of the fiel to 'place the ball behind the Purdue goal, only to find after bls brilliant dash '"that he had stepped out of bounds on his long journey. Purdue had one chance to score and that was when Wilcox made a brave attempt to boot the ball over the bar from the 45-yard I line. I 1 The cold statistics show that In- ' diuna gained a total of 205 yards during the game. Purdue gained 160. - The forward pas s attack that Indi-

ana feared, the style of play that demoralised them last year at 1-ayfay-ette, failed to materialize. Purdue tried four passes, all of which were incomplete. The Indiana aerial play, with the left-handed Salmi engineering the tosses, were successful twice !n ten utttmpts. Larry Murks, of Wabash, closed his •areer In a blaze of glory. He was half the Indiana offense, and lost the honor of winning the hag game of his ■ureer in the final quarter by that >tep out of bounds which cost a touchtown Marks' puntlnng, after the first inarter. was high class, although Puente was gaining on the exchange of ticks in the first period. The speedy Wilcox was Purdue’s .hlning light.
