hmm battle OHIO FOB TITLE By Dixon Stewart ntnlteil PreM Staff Correspondent) I Chicago. Nov. s—(U.R>—The chainI nirndilp of the Dig Ton football conL P Xe i« expected to be decided at IXnbus next Saturday when Ohio te and lowa meet for their annual I hottie The two remain as the only pants in the conference race not beaten and not th-d. as a result of last Saturday's upsets. Illinois will be the only team remaining in the way of Ohio State if the Buckeyes come through with a win over lowa, while lowa has Wisconsinand Michigan left on its schedule. The situation was made possible through Illinois' 3 to 0 defeat at the hands of Michigan Saturday afternoon The Wolverines, who had lost their previous four starts this season, rose to unexpected heights, and after taking advantage of an early break which allowed them to score a field goal, I fought the lllini to a stand still. It was ! ]|ii„ ( ,is’ first conference defeat since 1926 and the biggest upset of the season in the Big Ten. •Breaks” played an important part in Saturday’s second major upset. Northwestern's 10 to 9 triumph over Minnesota. A fumble, recovered by Calderwood and returned 72 yards for a tourchdown, started the Wildcats on the way to victory, after Minnesota had scored on safety. Northwestern added a field goal and the Gophers were a point shy of tieing the score with a fourth quarter touchdown. Ohio’s powerful eleven, after giving Princeton a six point lead through a fumble, came back strong in the final quarter and tied the score. The buckeyes played excellent football and uncovered a dazzling aerial attack. Coach Alonzo A. Stagg's Chicago Maroons delighted their supporters by twice coming from behind to tie Pennsylvania, but the Quakers always were able to go the Staggmen one better and scored in the final two minutes of play to win 20 to 13. Chicago played the best footnail it has shown this year. Wisconsin, which still has 1.000 per cent in the Big Test has a Tie with Purdue, experienced little difficulty in trouncing Alabama 15 to 0. lowa and Purdue played practice games with South Dakota and Case, winning by identical scores of 19 to 0 The other Big Ten school.—lndiana, was idle. This week Purdue and Northwestern will meet at Evanston in a battle which should produce its share of thi ills and Indiana will journey to Minnesota. Chicago will play at Wisconsin for the fitst time in a long established rivalry with the Badgers. Michigan travels to Baltimore for an intersectional game with the Navy and Illinois will take part in the dedicaticn of Butler College’s new stadium at Indianapolis. 0 College Footßall Michigan 3; Illinois 0.

P. I. armed with its three-men-out attack, which Coach “Greasy” Neal brought with him from Washington and Jefferson? Neal has used this formation cn several occasions when the going has been tough. Undoubtedly Coach Gustafson the former Pitt star, will make it like that for Neal’s charges. If so, yen can count on Virginia uncorking an open attack, and it’s a pretty certain bet the three-men-out formation will be used. If so, watch Virginia’s right end. In this open method of attack a splendid series of plays are worked around this playen who is No. 1 in the accompanying diagram. At the start of these plays No. 1 is not eligible for a forward pars, but by quickly shifting No. 2 back of the line mere than a yard and No. 5 into the lino between No. 8 and the center, No. 1 becomes eligible to catch a pass, as that puts him on the end of the line. A favorite play then is to have the center pass the ball to No. 3. in yards back of the line, and have No. 3 give ground to the right rear as all three of the three-men-out group beat it straight down the field to draw their opponents cut of the play. No. 6 cuts down and turns sharply to the right. This clears the territory to the left. No. 1, starting with the snap of the ball, swings back of his line and wide to the left, taking a forward pass from No. 3. Tomorrow—another play to this sameuight end.

In the gubernatorial race, both parties claimed victory. Candidates Harry G. Leslie, Republican, and Frank C. Dailey, Democrat, have been active in campaigning over the state. Observers believe that Leslie has gained strength in the past thirty days. Theie were predictions that Dailey’s Rope for election rests on his chances to get Republican votes in his “clean up the state house” campaign. Leslie, it was believed, has received considerable aid from :his being endorsed by several Republicans who

were connected with the investigations of alleged corruption in the state. Thomas H. Adams, who Instituted the probe, came out for the Republican candidate, and Emsley Johnson, special Marlon county prosecutor, in the so-called corruption Investigation, favors Leslie. Dailey has based his campaign on the alleged ..Republican corruption. Leslie countered to this with statements that he was not identified with the alleged scandal. Leslie was to close his campaign with addresses at Crawfordsville this afternoon and tonight. Dailey will make his final exorts at Washington this afternoon and tonight at Lagootee. o : SMITH SUMS UP HIS PROPOSALS FOR FARM AID I CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONRI J ity benefitted.” This solution has been branded by ; Hoover as “state socialism.” Smith said, playing upon the supposition (hat Republican leaders have been ' relegated with him by Hoover to the socialist party.

He said Hoover was opposed to the fundamental principle of farm relief and that, if elected, the Republican candidate would not sign a bill embodying a principle w.hicli he declared to be “state socialism." The governor closed his address with a prediction that the farmers of the country tomorrow will elect him president. "The industrial east joins with the agricultural west in its desire for the restoration of Democratic government,” he said. “I believe that tomorrow will bring a great Democratic victory.” he said “and I assure you that that victory in turn will bring a solution of the agricultural problem that will restore prosperity to the farm and promote the welfare of the entire country.” o DEMOCRATS ARE OPTIMISTIC HERE ON ELECTION EVE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) country today indicated a sweep to the Democratic side and it is confidently expected that pains will be shown in practically every precinct in the county.
