WILDCATSWILL DEFEND TITLE Northwestern Bad I y Weakened By Loss Ot Several Veterans (Copyright 1937 by UP ) Evanston, 111., Sept 17. (U.R) Northwestern will defend Its Big Ten football championship this fall with a yawning hole in the middle of the line and Lynn Waldorf's amazing luck sagging at both ends. Waldorf admitted today the Wild eats would lx- "tough lint weaker, if the luck held out and just weaker If his giant purple line dousn't improve with age. "We've got exactly one lineman of Big Ten caliber left on our squad.” Waldorf said. “And it was our luck and our line that gave us the title last fall. "Bob Voigts, a right tackle, is the only lineman good enough to hold his own. If the others don't come through, well have a bad time ot it." Northwestern's problems were reversed from last season when Waldorf apparently had a veteran line and a shky backfield. The line held until his green backs polished up. This year's backs will rank with the best in the league Eleven lettermen were graduated from the line, leaving troublesome holes at center, guard and tackle.
