UPSETS FEATURE BIG TEN GAMES Championship Aspirations Os Some Favorites Are Badly Shaken By Jimmy Corcoran (I.N S. Staff Correspondent) Chicago, Oct. 17—(INS)- It appears that there Is nothing left to do but shake out the bones and let the Cubes tall where'they may as fur as the Big Ten conference football gallop Is concerned. .Minnesota tied by Indiana. Purdue heated by Chicago. Ohio State socked by Northwestern. Surely we have enough to blat about for the remainder of the week when an unbaised young man reflects back on the conference games of last Saturday. At the present time we find four unbeaten conference teams. They are Chicago, Northwestern. Michigan and Minnesota. We understand that the almighty Gophers with the great Joesting did very well by scraping through to a tie with the supposedly weak Hoosiers. However, that is the way football is going in these parts this season. There are few wans In the middle west who didn’t expect Minnesota to smash through Indiana by at least four touchdowns, yet Pat Page's Laddibucks held the prospective conference champs to a tie. It seems that this is the way the wars go in 1927. Ohio State was distinct contender. Yet Dick Hanley's purple outfit bounced over the great Scarlet and Gray team for a 19 to 13 win. Purdue wtis supposed to beat at least two touchdowns better than Chicago. Ami despite all of this father Stagg's youngsters beat the Boilermakers 7 to 6. And the great l>lph Welch was on the job for the whole pastime with the exception of a few minutes when he dropped out for some of Jimmy Phelan's inspiration. It appears then this second Red Grange who travels by the name of Ralph Welch, suffered somewhat by his advance publicity. At least he fumbled on his first try at carrying the ball and a flock of Maroons promptly fell on it. A touchdown followed sohrtly after. It happened to be the Maroons margin of victory. After having viewed Mr. Welch in actio nit can be stated that the Texin will have to devour a few sacks of flour before he can equal the gallop ing Ghost. Yes he is a good football player but not a great one. And on this same subject it might lie stated that fate has a habit of wotking in devious ways. Only a short time ago Welch ran all over harvard. H|s playing gave Purdue a vicotry. Last Saturday his fumble gave Chicago the ball game The old chestnut still holds, you're a hero today and a bum tomorrow. Mr. Ralph likely knows by this time what al! of this means. And yet the lad will be a grea’ football player. He has everything and he can't miss. lowa beat through Wabash 38 to i) This was expected. Notre Dame, we are told, shifted through the Navy 19 to 6. You can bet your hat that Southern California will have a stiong ball club to beat late in she next month. Notie Dame is primed and ready for anything. And all they are asking is the opportunity. 0 Minnesota Star Leads Scorers In Big Ten * Ch'cago, Oct. 17.

She believes several other surviving nurses remain in Indiana.

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt This week promises to be a busy one for the Yellow Jackets. The Bluffton Tigers will be here for their annual battle on Wednesday afternoon and the North Side Redskins from Fort Wayne will make their initial appearance in pecatur on Saturday afternoon. Both games should be good ones. The Bluffton Tigers played a 6-G tie game with the Portland Panthers at Portland, last Saturday. The Tigers have improved greatly during the last two weeks and the Yellow Jackets likely will have their hands full taming them next Wednesday. The expected has happened Roger Swaim has started his basketball column "Rip Offs.” in the Bluffton News. He apologizes by saying he intended to wait until the first inter-county game of the season, but when he got the reports of the game between Union Center and LaFayette center, of Allen county, Friday night, he got the bug and couldn't help it. Weather forecast for Decatur and vicinity for the next few months: hot winds from the southwest. “Yeller Jackits” "The Decatur Yeller Jackits went to Fort Wayne Friday and cleaned up on the Concordia College eleven. 12 to 7. When high school elevens can take college outfits into camp, no wonder the rules committees are working their heads off to devise some means to crimp the high school style.
