GOPHERS DROP FROM RUNNING By Dixon Stewart, UP Staff Correspondent Chicago. Oct. 29. — U.K) — Another team—Minnesota—was elimlnted from the western conference championship race Saturday, leaving Illinois. Ohio and lowa to battle It out for the title. lowa and Ohio clash, at Columbus. Nov. 10. and the Buckeyes play Illinois in the final game of the season. Nov. 24. making it certain that not more than two of the teams will go through the season undefeated. Wisconsin also is in the undefeated class but has a tie with Purdue, previously defeated by Minnesota, to mar its record. Minnesota’s 7 to 6 defeat at the hands of a hard fighting lowa team was the only approach to an upset in Saturday’s big ten play, although both Wisconsin and Illinois were hard pressed to win from teams which were forecast as easy victims. Big Ten games have run remarkably true to form this season. Purdue's unlooked for tie with Wisconsin and lowa's triumph over Minnesota were the only contests even remotely resembling "upsets.” Michigan's determined fight against Wisconsin and Northwestern's showing against Illinois indicate both of these teams have more power than there percentage indicated. Michigan held Wisconsin to a 7 to 0 score and the best Bob Zuppke's championship Illinois team could do against the Wildcats was 6 to 0. The other Big Ten games were productive of little excitement. Purdue piled up a 40 to 0 count against Chicago and Ohio won from Indiana. 1.1 to 0. The lowa-Minnesota game proved to be one of the hardest fought, yet cleanest games played in Big Ten circles for years. While the “bone crushers had an advantage in yardage gained, the Hawkeyes refused to be overawed by Minnesota's reputation. As a result of the victory. lowa, which finished last in the 1926 and 1927 Big Ten races, stands out as a good prospect for the championship. This weeks games can do little to change the Big Ten standings as five of the teams are playing outside the conference and a sixth will be idle. Illinois, which meets Michigan, is the, only leader to play a conference opponent. Northwestern and Minnesota play in the other conference tilt. Ohio, Wisconsin and Chicago are billed for intersectional contests with Princeton, Alabama and Pennsylvania respectively, while lowa and Purdue have "breathers” against South Dakota and Case. In Saturday's Big Six conference games Nebraska's smashing 24 to 0 victory over the Missouri Tigers nut the Cornhuskers in the lead for the conference title and disposed the stronger contender Nebraska had for honors. Notre Dame’s battle with Drake was the most important game outside the two conferences, and the 32 to 6 score piled up by the Irish indicates that Rockne’s team has finally found itself. Larry (“Moon") Mullins, p newly discovered fullback, apparently is the man Rockne needed to give his backfield the necessary spark and the ramblers can be expected to show a much improved game now that they have a punch in the backfield. a High School Football Technical (Indianapolis 20; Marion 0.

Dartmouth’s reverse play, the cne . shown Satutday, won't go against Yale - as the Elis mastered it a year or so .. back by having their tackle on the short side take his position a yard t and a half back of the line. Dart- . I mruth's end was unable to box him. ns f I he charged through, because the Yale i tackle merely pushed him aside as he t ■ charged forward. That let the Yale ] 1 tackle meet the runner behind the , line for a loss. But Hawley has probably figured out a play that will take care of such unorthodox defensive play by Yale’s , tackles, should Stevens ernpl y them in this way Saturday against Dart- , ! mouth in the Yale Bowl.

GENEVA, 39 TO 26 Berne, Oct. 29 —(Special) —Berne's 1 Bears triumphed ever the Geneva Car ; dinals in the first basketball game of ' the season for the two high school quintets here Saturday night, by a score of 39-26. The game was interesting and pretty well played, considering the fact that it was the season opener. Coach Johnson, of Berne, tried out several players, and found some promising material. Ehrsam and Stucky, veteran forwards on the Berne quintet, led in their team scoring, the former getting three field goals and two free tosses, and the latter connecting with the basket for S field goals. Hawbaker, of Geneva, sank six field goals and two free throws. Berne led at the end of the half, 21-11. In the first game of the evening, the Berne second team scored an easy victory over the Cardinal seconds, 21-2. The first half ended with Berne leading 7-0, and Geneva failed to score until shortly before the end of the game. Coach Johnson used 19 players in the Berne lineup. Berne (39) FG FT T.

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt

Gloom and more gloom. About the only joyful thing that ye column jonductcT can say this morning is “Bully for old Purdue.” All Hoosier football fans ought to be proud of the Boilermakers’ 40-0 victory over the Chicago Maroons, regardless of the admitted weakness of the Maroons this season and regardless of the fan’s collegiate affiliations. Stagg probably will “Fear Purdue" again next fall. Indiana's apparent collapse in Sat urday'l game against Ohio State was a big disappointment and stir-pri-e to Hoosier fans. Ohio State' doubtless has a good football team i this fall, as the team’s record so far will show, but Pat Page’s eleven failed to show the stuff it had showed in iprevious games this season. With a tw’o-week rest before their next game, the Hoosiers may stage a comeback; against the Minnesota Gophers on Nov. 10. Coach Knute Rockne finally found a Notre Dame combination Saturday that could score touchdowns, and the Irish downed Drake 32-6. The Completed Task “Black and Crimson gridmen completed their big task of the season at Tiger Field yesterday afternoon when they defeated the Yellow Jackets by two touchdowns and a goal. The Yellow Jackets failed to score. Yesterday’s victory gave the Tigers three straight games over Decatur.” —Bluffton News. More Comment “Somehow or other we haven’t got the football fever entirely out of our system and that Tiger victory yesterday over the Decatur Yellow Jackets didn’t help quiet us. That was fine work Tigers. We also believe that Coach Means is deserving of a lot of credit for the showing. The past few years have certainly changed 'ootball hopes in this vicinity. When the Tigers first started football it was almost suicide to play Decatur, a school that had been playing the game for years. Now with a good coach and boys willing to play, Bluffton has held the upper hand for three years. Regardless of what might happen from now on out, as far as the Tigers are concerned the season was a success. However, we do want to remind the Tigers that Fan Whiffs of Huntington, was hoping the Yellow Jackets would win yesterday. The Tigers play the Huntington Vikings next Friday afternoon at Huntington. Now all we want is another Tiger victory. Could you guess why? —Bluffton Banner. The Yellow Jackets made ten first downs to Bluffton’s five in the game at Bluffton, Friday. The Jackets made five ifist downs in a row during a march down the field in the third and fourth quarters, but the march was halted all too soon. Out side of the two breaks which gave Bluffton two touchdowns, the game was pretty evenly fought, the ball being near the middle of the field most of the time. Already, there is talk about the Decatur-Bluffton basketball games to be played this season. The Yellow Jackets have some scores to settle on Dec, 8 and February 22. | Some fifteen members of the D.H.S.

football team were expected to turn out for imsketball practice this evening. swelling the squad to about 40 or more candidates. The squad will be cut after about a week's practice. As far as games won and lost is concerned, the football season just ended was a dismal failure for the Yefow Jackets. Seven defeats and no victories is the record. Fortunately, however, there is more to be gained from the game of football than mere score victories. The members of the local team have learned how to train, to follow instructions and advice, to think for thetnselvse and to FIGHT. Despite the fact that they failed to win a game, the Yellow Jackets d'd fight. Most of the boys will be out for the team next season and the experience gained this fall will lie invaluable then. Os the regulars. only Captain Lewis Butcher. Kocher, Cable and Kiess, all linemen, will be graduated. More power to the Yellow Jackets next fall. And now, since football is over, locally, and basketball is getting under way in the high schools over the county, we see no good reason for continuing this daily bore, so here endeth the seventh volume of The i Fourth Down. I o Seven Eastern Teams Keep Slates Clean New York. Oct. 29 —(U.PJ—Only seven eastern football teams have maintained perfect records during the first half of the season which was completed with Saturday's games. The Army stands out not only as the East's leading team, but a potential national champion if it can conquer Notre Dame, Nebraska and Stanford in approaching games. The six other eastern teams without a defeat or tie are New York University, Carnegie Tech, Georgetown, Be ston College, Temple and Villa Nova. Army's 18 to 6 victory over Yale was the outstanding feat in the east and Chris Cagle's two long runs for touchdowns—sl yards around Yale's right end and 75 yards off Yale's left tackle —the greatest individual performance of the day. An undefeated Cornell team fought an overrated Princeton team almost to a standstill, the latter winning 3 to 0. Princeton is unbeaten, but was tied by Virginia. o— COURT HOUSE Inheritance Tax Reports In the estate of Benjamin W.
