BIG GAMES ON CARD SATURDAY Intersections! And Big Ten Battles Feature Middle, western Schedule Chicago, Oct. 28.— (I'l’l —One big interese.-ttonal and one important big ten game feature this week's middlewestern football The intersectional flavor will be furnished by Notre Dame and Georgia Tech at South Rend. The imposing record of the southerners so far tills year indicated Knute Rockne will not have an easy time leading his Irish warriors to victory. Already Rockne has announced that the power of the southern team has Influenced him to depart from one of his pet customs. That is the starting of second string players. ’.I intend to start this game with i my regulars," Rockne said. "However, followers of the Irish believe they are capable of winning and the dope would seem to give Rockne's team an advantage. At Urbana, Michigan and Illinois will meet in the most important of the big ten games. ♦ . Illinois by its 7-6 defeat of the strong Northwestern team last week has indicated it will take a cracking good team to beat it. Michigan has a cracking good team as is shown by the easy manner in which it trampled early season opposition. The Wolverines should win from Zuppke’s men. On the other hand, this season has been remarkable for its upsets. Os the other big ten games, Minnesota vs. Wisconsin and Ohio against Chicago, are the most important. Minnesota should win from Wisconsin but Glenn Thistlethwaite has transformed the Badgers into a fighting football team Mid the Gophers must have a good day to win. If dope counts for anything, Ohio should have little trouble besting Chicago. But Chicago already has turned in one big upset—its defeat of Purdue —and hopes to accomplish another. The middle west is optimistic over the outcome of the Indiana-Harvard game at Cambridge. At Evanston. Northwestern should win from Missouri though the Missourians won the last time they met a big ten team defeating Chicago three years ago. lowa and Purdue also meet out of conference teams, the former engaging Denver U. and the latter Montana State. Both conference teams should win. o Adams Theatre Gets New Music Instrument The Holthouse Drug Company today received a new Automatic Orthophc nic Victrola, which will be installed in the Adams Theatre in this city. The Victrola runs by electric motor, c hanges its own records and will play from 50 to 60 minutes without touching it by hand. The machine changes its own records and is so designed that it will 'ay fourteen records before it stops or before it is necessary to place new records on the handle which places the records on the disc automatically. Tlie Victrola is equipped with the famous Orthopiionic horn and will furnish the music at the Adams theater during the shows. Any record can be played on the machine.

The lot is 126 feet of First street frontage, extending to the river. The buildings have been condemned by the state fire marshall and must be taken down.

The Fourth Down Willie Punt The football season in Decatur ends tomorrow'. The 1927 Yellow- Jackets x wi 1 have ended their schedule by 5 t ■/clock tomorrow evening. Lets all be out there pulling for a victory- over Kendallville in the final game. ' I :l The Yellow Jackets are big ' enough, are smart enough and are able to beat Kendallville. If they enter the game with the old a Yellow Jacket fight in their veins and really want to win that game bad enough, Kendallville will have a loss charged to them and Columbia City will rest alone at the top of the conference standing by tomorrow nigj-it. What do you say, gang? Rooters are Coming ' The fairground athletic field grid ron will be deserted Saturday aftermon while Coach Stanley and his Crimson and Gold warriors invade the tub of Adams county for a tilt with he fast Decatur high school eleven. The game is being heralded as the 'eature exhibition of the season at Decatur. According to plans of many ins, the locaj gridders will not make he invasion alone as a large delegaion is being organized to accompany he team. Coach Stanley has his ‘earn in tip-top shape for the battle nd while predictions have it that the K. H. S. will win a hard game is exlected."—Kendallville News-Sun. On account of the death of Slater, 1 member of the North Side high ■chool squad, of Fort Wayne, the 'ame lietween North Side, and Portland, scheduled for tomorrow, has been cancelled. Slater’s death was lue to pneumonia. With only a fifty-fifty break in last week’s predictions, it takes nerve to ittempt to pick the winners in tomor•ow's games, fiut apparently Wall Street isn’t placing any bets on the strength of the selections made in his column, so here goes: Michigan 'o beat Illinois, Purdue to beat Monana State, Notre Dame to beat Georgia Tech, Chicago to beat Ohio State, lowa to beat Denver. Minnesota to beat Wisconsin, Northwestern to beat Missouri, Harvard to beat Indiana, DePauw- to beat Franklin, Earlham to beat Cedarville, Lombard to l>eat But'er. Army to beat Bucknull, Yale ‘o boat Dartmouth, Nebraska to beat Syracuse, Navy to beat Pennsylvania, and DECATUR to beat Kendallville.
