TWO FAVORITES ARE BEATEN IN BIC TEN UPSETS Michigan and Purdue Fall By Wayside In Big Ten Upsets Chicago, Oct. 19.—(UR)— With two of the favorites alr«'a<tv beaten, the Big Ten football race took on added interest todav with the prospect for a series of surprises during the remainder of the season. Michigan. Purdue and Northwestern were favored to co through their conference schedules undefeated and tie for the title, but the second week of the campaign finds Michigan and Purdue already toppled and Northwestern facing a severe test in its first Big Ten .game this week. Northwestern plays Ohio state. Michigan’s conqueror, at Columbus Saturday and the Wildcats can breeze to the title if they stop the Buckeyes. If Ohio State's rejuvenated eleven turns in another unset, the Big Ten race will be scrambeled beyond all calculation. Ur*yxpected defeats for Michigan and Purdue has left Northwestern its greatest chance in Big Ten history to win the title outright. Northwestern tied Michigan in 1925 and again last year but never had undisputed claim to a western conference football championship. After the Ohio State game Northwestern plays Illinois. Minnesota. Indiana and lowa, considered the four weakest

teams in the conference. Michigan met defeat for the first time in 15 games at the hands of an Ohio State, superbly directed by Cari Cramer, sophomer quarterback. Ohio State's 20-7 triumph over Michigan is all the more amazing when it is considered the Buckeyes sounded back from a 26-21 defeat at the hands of Vanderbuilt a week previous. Ohio State scored on marches of 31 and 46 yards and a 42-yard punt return by Cramer. A dazzling first period attack that netted tßree touchdowns! enabled Wisconsin to turn Pack the highly-favored Purdue eleven. 21-14. Purdue came back in the last half to outplay Wisconsin, and scored two touchdowns in the third period but could not shake the Badgers' loose from their lead Rabat. Wisconsin guard, blocked Moss’ attempt to punt and recovered the ball behind Purdue’s goal line for what proved to be the winning touchdown. Making the second week of the Big Ten season a complete day of upsets. lowa's crippled team, badly beaten by Pittsburgh and Texas A. & M. fought Indiana to a scoreless tie. The Big Ten. which has fared badly in intersectional rivalry this season, divided its two intersectional games last week Yale, playing in the mid west for the first time in honor of Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg’s 40 years as University of Chicago coach, triumphed over the Maroons with ridiculous ease, 27-0. Northwestern took the University of California (Los Angeles) in its stride and won its first game ever played with a Pacific coast team, 19-0. In the other game played by a Bg Ten team Illinois won from Bradley. 20-0, while Coach Bob Zuppke scouted Michigan for this week's homecoming game at Urbana.

EIGHT TEAMS IN LIMELIGHT EIGHT TEAMS New York, Oct. 19 —(UP) —The race for Eastern College football honors remained an open competition today after a week-end of surprising games. No fewer than eight teams stood out as possible leaders of the east although four weeks of play were complete. The teams were: Harvard, New York University, Syracuss, Columbia, Cornell, Pittsburgh Colgate and Fordham. Claims to ranking as cofavorites of Harvard and Columbia were based upon well-earned but surprising victories over Army and Dartmouth. Led by Barry Wood, Harvard stunned a record crowd at West Point Michie stadium in winning 14-13. Columbia surprised even its most a: dent well-wishers by winning with consummate ease over an apparantly over rated Dartmouth eleven. New York University won a relatively easy game over Rutgers, 277, and now face a stiff schedule, meeting Colgate, Oregon. Georgia. Fordham and Carnigie Tech. Pittsburgh, with a record of four victories over slightly regarded foes, will meet Notre Dame at South Rend on Saturday. Pitt downed Western Reserve 32-0. Another record was kept clear when Cornell, led once again by Bart Viviano, veteran star back, humbled Princeton. 33-0. Colgate and Syracuse, two splendid New Yoik state teams, also survived. Colgate downed Manhattan 33-0 Syracuse beat Florida 33-12. Fordham lost some prestige by being held to a 6-6 tie* with Holy Cross, but the rams should be able to round a crediable season of their remaining games.

PRESIDENT IS ATYORKTOWN Famous Victory Commemorated Today With Big Celebration Aboard U. S S. Arkansas. Yorktown. Va., Oct. 19. — (U.RI — Fifty mighty fighting men-of war thundered a battle welcome to President I Hoover upon his arrival here to!day. A proud five-mile line of blue gray cruisers and destroyers un--1 leased their 21 gun salutes simuli taneously as the Arkansas, bearing l the presidential party, pushed her ; prow past the first ship in line at 8 a. m. Black smoke and thunder filled the air and shook the sea before Mr. Hoover on the bridge of the Arkansas. It was the first time i he had witnessed a whole scouting ■ fleet honoring him as its command-er-in-chief. J The flagship Augusta headed the ' line drawn up at the right side of the York river. On the bridge was Vice Admiral Willard who gave the order for the terrific din of three pounders. The Arkansas steamed along at 10 knots past the fleet. ! All hands were drawn up on deck at attention. At the left were the French cruisers Duquesne and Suffren bearing a distinguished group of Frenchmen to the celebration of the 150th ! anniversary of Cornwallis’ surrender at this quiet Virginia hamlet. The old restored Frigate Constitution. hero of many battles, was the third ship in line on the left

side of the river. Behind it. on the high banks, the ' President could see towering over I scrubby pines, the monument dedicated by President Arthur to commemorate the Revolutionary war i j victory of the colonies. The Arkansas anchored beyondi -Ithe Constitution about 1,000 yards I off shore. Soon there appeared bouncing over the waters of the river an admiral’s bark, bringing Willard over to pay official wel- ;' come. His appearance was the sig- >' nal for the Arkansas to burst out I-' in thunder with the vice admiral's 1 salute of 17 guns. ' Mr. Hoover appeared impressed by the ceremony. e After Admiral Willard's vijsit the ' President had a few moments of re ; laxation before the welcoming K party of Frenchmen headed by Am--1 bassador Glaudel and Marshal Pe- 1 ’ tain arrived in a small boat from ! the Duquesne. In their party was 1 Rear Admiral Descottes-Genon of e the French navy, Captain Brohan. e commanding the Duquesne and e Captain commanding the i K Suffren. Their arrival called for a 19-gun ambassadorial salute from j the Arkansas. e Exactly two hours were required for the ceremonies before Mr. 8 Hoover went ashore to deliver an e address at the pageant field. e The village of Yorktown was d jammed with holiday crowds. The land welcoming party in j k eluded Gov. Pollard. Sen. Swanson and Rep. Bland of Virginia. Mingl-, i- ing around them were tattered Con-' g tinentals and brilliant dad "Red i- coats." Some Revolutionary ladies ; 11 with powdered wigs and hop skirts r- were waiting to re-enact the suri- render scene later in the day. i- The pageant field schedule was s aranged as follows: 't 11 a. ni. —Mr. Hoover speaks. i
