OHIO STATE IS I GRID SURPRISE Chicago, Oct. 20. !U,R)—For the ■ first time since 1926 Ohio State has developed a formidable con 1 tender for the Big Ten football championship. Five years'ago a 1716 defeat at the hands of Michigan prevented Ohio State from winning the title and" now a new Buckeye team, given impetus by a 20-7 triumph over , •he Wolverines, is threatening to climb back to the top of the western conference. Ohio State hasn't had a championship team since 1920 when Dr. , John Wilce’s wonder team with it; . flare of winning games in the last few minutes of play annexed the, title. Ohio State's path — to the Big Ten title is strewn with difficulties.! Not only must the Buckeyes de i feat last year's co-champions of the! Big Ten on successive Saturdays, but they have to conquer Indiana.' ami Illinois. Wisconsin I established itself as one of the 1 strongest teams in the conferencei by upsetting Purdue last week. 21- ’ 14. and Illinois' sophomore team promises to lie considerably strong- ! er to November than it is now. I Coach Sam Willaman’s team successfully passed its first hurdle in ' defeating Michigan, but the Buckeyes' have to put on more power for there real test Saturday against! Northwestern, last of the unbeat-1 en preseason favorites. The Ohio State-Northwestern bat-! tie promises to be the most important October game in the Big Ten. and may possibly determine! the title. If Northwestern wins.: <ae Wildcats have a comparatively easy schedule ahead of them, meeting Illinois, Minnesota. Indiana and lowa in that order. On their records to date. Northwestern seems to hold an edge over Ohio State, but neither team' has opened up with all its resources. Vanderbilt defeated Ohio State two weeks ago. 26-21, making four touchdowns in the first half, two of them on bad generalship and misdirected passes by a secondstring Buckeye quarterback. The Buckeyes proved their courage by' coming back in the last half to score three touchdowns and almost pulled the game out of the fire. I Northwestern and Notre Dame played a scoreless tie in the mud and rain at Soldier Field, and it was Notre Dame and not Northwestern that came closer to defeat. Northwestern once drove to Notre Dame's 3-yard line and on another occasion a Wildcat pass, over the goal line was incomplete. Sophomores plomise to play a big part in the Buckeye-Wildcat battle regardless of the outcome. Three of Northwestern backs are sophomores and two of Ohio State’s are playing their first varsity football. George Potter, quarterback, Ken Meenan. halfback, and Ollie Olson, fullback, are the sophomores in the Northwestern backfield. Vai Cramer, quarterback who starred against Michigan, and Mick Vuchinich. O’Bian fullback, are the first year men in the Ohio State backfield. The records of the two teams to date follow: Northwestern, 19; Nebraska, 7. Northwestern. 0; Notre Dame, 0 S Northwestern, 19; U. C. L. A., 0 38 Opponents 7 ’. 67: Cincinnati, 6 " j
