COPHERS BIG TEN FAVORITES Nine Noted Football Writers In Middlewest Bal- ® lot On Race Chicago. Sept. 27. — University of jMvinesnta will win the Western Conference foot-ball championship. according to composite opinions of nine of the best football writers in the middle west. The United Press asked representative Minnises i n the way the big lit race will end. and the ballots showed this resist: First place: Minnesota. Second. Ohio State Third, Northwestern Fourth, Michigan © Fifth, Illinois Sixth, Purdue Sevt Wisconsin Eighth. Chicago Ninth, lowa Tenth, Indiana. The expert vpte was taken from men in the western, central and eastern coitions of the middle west, and wide variety of beliefs were expressed. save in the particular that Minnesota and Ohio State nowhere received votes below second place. The writers invited to ballot were: John McGovern, of the Minneapolis Journal, one of the greatest players who ever wore a University of Minne sota uniform; Oliver Kuechle of the Milwaukee Journal; ,Stuart Bell of the Cleveland Pres Eddie .-.Ash of the Indianapolis Times; Kennnh Fry of the Cl.'jer.go Even ng Post; Hound' Coughlin of the Wisconsin? State ( Journal. Madison, Win.; Bill Fox of the Indianapolis News. Ed Shave, of the St. Paul Daily ,News, and Eddie Jacqu n of the Champaign, 111., News(sfcazette. The preponderance of Minnesota votes is well explained by Kuechle. who says: "1 dhat't sec who is going to stop Minnesota. Wliana won't. lowa won't. Wisconsin won't. Mich iftan might in the last game of the season. ButWost's fellows, I figure w II be pretty well week before by the Navy, while Minnesota has comparatively easy sailing with Ohio, with Marek Freddie Grimm back seems assured of winning almost every game save perhaps the Michigan or Northwestern con tests. Northwestern ranks thiriLsHth rnch stars as Tiny Lewis. Capt. Vic Gustafson and JJart. Kuechle rates the (gjr-ame the doubtful one on Michigan's - end Ohio's program. That battle, he says will how Michigan at its Rest against the Buckeyes ‘One of (hose hotsy-totsy ‘inspired games’." Eddie Jacquin at Champaign feels Qfhat lllino s should Ohio and beat jnth Northwestern and Michi ran, but several others feel the Zupp ■ taunt will be lucky to win one < f those two contests Ed Shave of St. Paul is inclined to tbnk Illinois may show more than is on the surface. Purdue is 1 given a f ne chance to beat both Wisconsin and Indiana, mostly on the strength of such players as Guncotton Wilcox, Bamby and Koraksky, and is picked to win easily from Indiana, and lose to Northwestern. Wiseons n with Coach Glenn Thistiewaite at the helm is not. expected to show so very much style this year. Both Wisconsin writers, Kuechle and Roundy Coughlin, whose predictions are usually reliable, pick the Badgers for the second division. lowa, minus Cowboy Kutsch, and Chicago, with no such players as the John Thomas or "Five Yards" MeCarthy of the past are not expected to show a particularly flashing attack th's season, despite the fact that both schools have excellent coaches. Indiana received seven votes for 10th place. Eddie Ash of the Times n Indianapolis placed the Hoosiers seventh, and Bill Fox of the News in the same town put them sixth. Most of the writers in the districts • with stronger teams were inclined to * ‘‘inlay down” local prospects. McGovern confessed that "Doc” Spears of the Minnesota team would never forgive him if he chose the Gophers to lead the pack, so he put Michigan and Ohio along with the Spearscoached team. Coughlin picked Ohio to tie Minnesota. Otherwise those two teams reigned "one two" throughout the poll. o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays

The game originally was scheduled to be played in Richmond, but was transferred to Portland on account of the Earlham home-coming at Rich-, mtjnd next Saturday. The so-called scrubs on the Yellow Jacket squad this failure faithful servants. Every night, Coaches Tyndall and Curtis have enough players to form two full teams and usually there are a few left over for substitutes. Not a single freshman is playing on the varsity this fall, which fact ■ is unusual here. Furthermore, only about four seniors are breaking into the lineup. But there is a good bunch of freshmen on the squad getting their necessary training to jump into the harness next fall. One of the largest crowds that has witnessed a football game in Decatur for several "years is expected next Friday afternoon when the Yellow Jackets clash with Columbia City* Every indication points to a greO 1 game. I Why can’t we have the band I out Friday afternoon? With two ' good teams on the field and a big crowd of rooters on the sidelines, all that is needed to make it a

gala occasion is a band. We have the band, one of the best Junior bands in the state. Here's a good chance for the youthful musicians to get some good practice and do a good turn at the same time. te> ’ 1 Wed also like for iho’Junior band, to begin making arrangements to play at the games of the tSt ? hgh school basketball teams this fall. At least, they should play’ for the big games on the schedules. Band mus e at games puts a lot of pep into the event and pop is wlwt makes the teams play best and draws the biggest crowds. ® Maybe Not Cty plays Decalur at Decatur next Friday afteruomK 0 As Auburn defeated DecaVur®it will 'ikely o not be a difficult game for t’e Wais, but Saturday's contest demonstrated that ‘here are a lot of rought spot- to bfcsmoothed out b'lfore the next contest, if Columbia Cty is to win.”—Columbia City Post.'
