Illinois cops I BIG TEN TITLE jjlini, Unheralded At Start ■Of Season, Finish Season Without Defeat ■ Chicago, Nov. 21.—(VP)—The Unir|! V of Illinois football team, as the “starless wonder," has Ksiified Coach Bob Zuppke’s contenthat he had a whole solar system Mislead of a flaming meteor or two. ■ Thi mini—unheralded at the start the season—have come into the that is rightly theirs by estabKdiing a solid claim to the* big ten championship, winning M|ve games and losing none. Zuppke’s ■am was tied by one eleven—but the Towa State team is Hot a member of the conference. ■ Zuppke explained his lack of play who stand out above the rest by that the whole team is good. E' lt's easy for a good man to stand against a background of dubs, but ■ot so easy against a bunch of good Em a." he said. ■ Minnesota, a powerful team, like closed its season without a de-i but one blot —a tie with Indiana K .polled the Gopher claim for the Htirc. while Minnesota's accomplishin 1927 includ' d three Victor-K-s. 'he tie with the Hoosiers makes big 10 record of the fighting E'i'i semen less impressive than that ■f Illinois. I Michigan, with one of the hardest of any big 10 eleven, came the season with a satisfactory record. The only teams which the Wolverines were the two leaders. I The University of Chicago broke with three victories and three The Maroons finished highin the standing than followers of team had dared hope, due mainly the work of Capt. Ken Rouse, center. I Purdue also broke even, with two and two victories. In addiHtion Purdue walloped Harvard. 1 She Mhad the satisfaction of drubbing her enemy, Indiana. I Northwestern, a two star football Hr ’even, played good football when ■'Tiny" Lewis and Waldo Fisher were to compete, but they were most of the season, and ■without them the Wildcats claws ■sere clipped. The season was a dis■Bppointment to Northwestern followS r I The Ohio State team, also highly ■regarded last September, had the ■tame record as Northwestern— three and two victories. A stiff ■'•'hedule and over confidence balked ■the Scarlet and Grays hopes. I Indiana had perhaps the best ■Toosier team in a decade, and came ■through the season with two defeats, ■a victory and the tie with Minnesota, ■the high mark of its season. ! Wisconsin, in its first . treason ■tinder Coach Glenn Thitlethwaite ■vas a big disappointment to Badger ■boosters. Although the Wisconsin ■eleven played well against stronger ■teams, it crumpled against the weak■er elevens, and a victory over Purdue ■was the lone Badger boast. ■ lowa, one of the teams which beat ■Wisconsin, did just about what was ■expected in the season as a whole. ■ The Hawkeyes played gallantly but futilely against strong teams, but yoke a losing streak by defeating th" Badgers.

Durr was high point man for the season with the Bowser team of Fort Wayne last year. A preliminary game will be played Tuesday night by the Kirkland Meadowtops and the Fort Wayne Panthers. FIELD GOALS] By MARK M. UPP ~~ " After a few' more die hards here and there, football will be entirely off the stage and King Basketball will rule unmolested. Three Adams county teams will be seen in action Wednesday night. Decatur plays at Auburn, Kirkland goes to Monroeville and Berne goes to Lancaster. A good chance for three Adams county victories. On Friday night, Monmouth will play Monroe in the D. 11. S. gym and Hartford will play Geneva in the Berne gym. The Catholic high Commodores will entertain the Shelbyville Catholics here on Saturday night. BLUFFTON'S "TIGERS WILL EAT RAW MEAT THIS WEEK IN HOPES OF BEING TOUGH WHEN THEY MEET ROCKCREEK FRIDAY NIGHT. The Peru football team ended its football season Saturday by losing to Logansport, 7-0. The Tigers played through the entire season without scoring a point. Things were different in the Circus City when the Bergman brothers. Bud Chapin and other grid heros performed there. By the way, the Peru high school girl’s basketball team will play the Auburn girls in the preliminary game to the Auburn-Decatur contest nt Auburn, Wednesday night. The Winning Spirit Dear Mark M. Upp: Decatur gave Kirkland a sound thrashing, but even fate can't keep that Kangaroo outfit down. Although the. Kangaroos were outclassed and nervous, they handled the ball well. This defeat Will only add strength to their determination for 15 straight victories. Beware, ye opponents of this fighting crew, for they have the fight of Sherman on his march to the sea. This victory march was started Saturday night by giving Geneva a trouncing. Monroeville and Berne are the next in order and I don't mean meblie. A Decatur-Kirkland fan. The game between the Decatur and Auburn teams Wednesday night will not be counted in the official standing of the Northeastern Indiana Conference. Decatur and Auburn will meet twice this year, and the conference ruling is that when two member teams meet twice during the season, only the last of the two games will be counted in the standing. The second game between Auburn and Decatur will be played here on January 6. Nine of Decatur's games this season will be counted in the conference standing. FivX of them will be played on the home floor. The conference games to be played here are Garrett, Auburn, Fort Wayne Central, Bluffton and Huntington. The conference games away, from home, which will be counted in the standing, are Angola. Kendallville, Fort Wayne North Side and Fort Wayne South Side. Fort Wayne South Sicks finished tho season with a thousand per centage in the Northeastern Indiana Conference football standing, but the Green played only two conference games, beating Bluffton and Central. Kendallville won four games, lost one and tied one for a per centage of 800 and. in our estimation, rightfully deserve the championship.

WELCH SHINES IN PURDUE WIN Boilermakers Triumph Over Old Rival, Indiana, In Final Game Os Season By Wallace G. West (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Indianapolis, Nov. 21 —(UP) —Purdue's Phantom Twins. “Cotton” Wilcox and “Pesty” Welch helped keep the dope bucket right side up in Saturday’s game with Indiana, and were a big factor in defeating the Hoosiers, 21-6. Although Wilcox played only a few minutes in the last football game of his college career, he snared a pass which helped break up a menacing Hoosier inarch and was cheered to the echo as he was carried off the field with a badly wrenched knee received when he was flattened by opposing players. Indiana scored the first touchdown and held a 6-0 lead until the beginning of the second half when its morale was shattered by the brilliant running of Welch who was directly responsible for three Purdue touchdowns. In other games of the week-end favorites came through with flying colors. The Little Giants of Wabash fought the DePauw Tigers to a HI to 7 victory .but had heavy going all the way. Wabash made its greatest showing in the final quarter, Prail stepping cut for six points as the climax of a brilliant march down the field. Notre Dame ran away from Drake with a 32-0 score. Niemic, Notre Dame's star halfback was not taken seriously by the lowans at the beginning of the strugle, and galloped through the line a number of times before means could be found to stop him. Butler ended its season with a dreary 25-0 defeat by Michigan state. Watford, Butler's negro backfield star, was no match for Henry Schau of the Michigan team.

IKIRKLANBWINS FROM GENEVA I Kangaroos Win Interesting Game From Cardinals At Berne, 29 To 20 The Kirkland Kangaroos, after taking a trouncing at the hands of the Decatur Yellow Jackets, came strong . Saturday night and cropped the wings of the Geneva Cardinals, 29 to'2o. The game was an interesting contest, especially the second half when the Cardinals rallied and were outscored on- , ly one point. Stahley, Geneva's big center, returned to the lineup Saturday night, after being out of the game for two weeks on account of a broken toe. Dunwiddie, regular back guard, did not get into the game, however, having suffered an . injury to one shoulder in practice last Wednesday. The Arnold brothers Luther and Floyd did most of the scoring for Kirkland. Luther scored four field goals ami two free throws, while his broth* ' er sank five baskets and one free throw. The Geneva scoring was prettv well divided among Striker, Stahley, ‘ Fravel and Hawbaker. Lineups and summary: ! Kirkland Geneva [ Baumgartner.... F Hawbaker L.

I ° Limberlost Cabin Shown In Latest Porter Film ■ The technical departments of the ■ modern motion picture studio consisti ently fabricate settings for pictures ■ which are positively uncanny in their realism. Even in closeups, the all-re- ■ vealing eye of the camera fails to distinguish any evidence of “fakiness". i Technically the screen appears to have reached the ultimate point in its devel- ■ opment. ' But the forty people who journeyed from FBO studios in Hollywood to Gene Stratton-Porter's famous Limberlost Cabin in Rome City, Indiana where i the exterior scenes from “The Harvester” were filmed, were startled at an ' example of technical excellence, familiar as they all were with the abilities of the studio art department. While on location in Indiana, much time was spent by the company on I cloudy days in the great front room of Limberlost Cabin, the outstanding feature of which was an elaborate fireplace constructed under the personal supervision of the noted author. Photographs weie taken of every feature of the room and forwarded to the studio, to aid the technical departments in the construction of "sets” for the interior scenes. And when the party returned to Hollywood, they found sets which duplicated the room with photographic exactness. Not only was every stone in the great fireplace exactly reproduced, but there were also the tomahawks. Indian hammerheads and tiny tone idols which had forced into the concrete during the costruction of the mantel. “The Harvester,” with a superlative cast which includes Orville Caldwell, Natalie Kingston, Will Walling, Jav Hunt Lola Tcdd, Edward Hearn and Fanny Midgley, is giving the first Indiana showing at the Shrine Auditorium, Fort Wayne, All this week at 2:30 and 8:15 P.
