THREE TEAMS SHARE TITLE Chicago, Nov. 30. — (U.R) —After winning the Big Ten football championship for the first time in history, Northwestern failed to defend it in a post-season charity game and consequently must -share its laurels with Michigan and Purdue. Purdue's masterpiece of the season shattered Northwestern’s undefeated record before 40.000 in Soldier Field Saturday as the Boilermakers blasted out a 7-0 victory over the Wildcats. Jim Purvis. Purdue halfback, crashed over from the 11-yard line for the score in the fourth period. Michigan came in for its share of the title by turning back Wisconsin, 16-0. Minnesota prevented Ohio State from making it a fourway tie by conquering the Buckeyes, lA-7. Northwestern. Michigan and Purdue each won five games and lost one, the first time in western conference annals three teams have tied for football honors. Purdue was a better football team than Northwestern for 60 minutes Saturday, and deserved its victory but in justice to Coach Dick Hanley, who whole-heartedly agreed to play an extra game for charity after winning the championship outright, it must be said that the Wildcats were past their .peak. Their long, hard schedule had taken too much out of them mentally and physically. After hitting top form for Notre Dame, Ohio State and Minnesota, the Northwestern team faded away in November and barely nosed out Indiana, had trouble with a decidedly weak lowa team and then lost to a great Purdue eleven. Off their season's records Northwestern, however, should receive recognitition as Big Ten champion. Purdue, however, has a good claim to mid-west honors, with nine victories and only one defeat to its credit. The Purdue team that humbled Northwestern and the Northwestern team which smashed Minnesota were the two best "oneway football teams” of the Big Ten season. Michigan's record, which includes ouiy one victory over a first divis,n team, a slim 6-0 decision over Minnesota, does not entitle the Wolverines to ranking with either ' I

There wasn’t anything fluky about the victory. Army outplayed the Irish almost all the game and scored two touchdowns on good football. The Army also held the Irish on their six-yard line. Poor old Northwestern stood the ! attack of grid teams all throughl ; the regular season and then lost undisputed championship in a ’ charity tilt with Purdue.

TITLE MATCH IS SCHEDULED Fort Wayne, ,\nv. 30 — After a sh rt lay-off over the Thanksgiving ; holidays, boxing returns to FortWayne this week with a vengeance i Tuesday night at the Strand theater enry Stoeff will present another championship battle. Moan , Baumgartner. Fort Wayne, meeting Otto Atterson. Terre Haute, for J the state junior welterweight ; crown. It was just a month ago that Baumgartn--r dropped his title to i the Terre 'Haute buy in a terrific battle that ended in the seventh round of a schedul’d 10 round ati air. Baumgartner started a sweep--1 ing uppercut from the floor. Alteri son stepped in and the blow landed foul. Although the blow was entirely accidental, the commission could do nothing but award the fight to • the challenger on a technicality. Hitherto it had been a ding-dong battle, with Baumgartner holding a slight edge in the fighting through his superior boxing ability, but Atterson always threatening with that tremendous punching power of his. i This will be Atterson's first dei tense of his title. He has been preparing for the return engagement with strenuous work outs at a Cincinnati gym. while Baumgartner ■ has been drilling daily in the ring ' •at the Strand theater here. The I second battle is expected to be a i far better scrap than the first. The supporting card includes I four bouts, an eight, a six. and two i our-rounders. n the eight round

semifinal Frankie Martin, Vincennes, meets Ernie Dill, of Danville. 111., Dummy Joe Rodey, Terre Haute and Arvil (Young) Puryear, tangle in the six. The four-rounders bring together Sammy McKenzie, Vincennes, and Kenny Manes, Fort Wayne, and Kid Gilberet. Roanoke, and Don Chaney. Fort Wayne. iFort Wayne, Nov. 30 — Speedy Schafer, veteran matman of St. Louis, will return to a local wrestling ring Thursday night when he meets Freddy Kupfer, German grappier, of Huntington. W. Va., in the feature ' match of a card at the Strand theater. Schafer has appeared here a number of times before, and fc popular with Fort Wayne mat fans. That is, he is p pular in a rather eunorthodox i ashion. The wrestling enthusiasts take g eat delight in razzing Sp edy for what they consider foul tactics. Speedy is a little r >ugh at times, but his aggressiveness is induced only by a heatLiiy desire win. And he usually does. Kupfer has never wrestled here before, but he has been signed by Promoter Henry Stoeff on the l streiuht of a reputation that makes him the squal of his better known opponent in every way. The match is scheduled to go to three falls with a time limit of two hours. The men are middleweights. Pets Merelo, agile little Persian, I is scheduled to meet Red Simas of , Hamilton. Ont., a Canadian, in the ; semi-windup, also a three-fall match but with a time'limit o' 45 minutes Mereleo showed here a number of times at the outdpor arena last : summer and never failed to please the crowd. Simas will be makin/

his first appearance in a Fort Wayne ring. These men are welterweights. G. orPrieEADERS HOLD SESSION (CONTINUED FROM PAU3 CNE> Kan., by Rep. Milton C. Garber, Okla.; Rep. Fred S.
