MINNESOTA IS | BIG FAVORITE OVER ILLINOIS Conference Champion* Favorite* To Whip Blinoi* Chli-ago. Oct. 10 tl'l’t Minnesota's Big Ten football champ-' lona, thoroughly rested and eager, begin defense of their crown lo- ■ morrow against an Illinois »quad armed with an optlmiam difficult tn explain In a group of players so obviously out-manned. B-rhape the old master of football psychology Boh Zuppke has geared the lllinl for the big mo ment of hla ?9 years at Illinois. Possibly hla team la far better than even Zup admits. In any case, the polished Gopher* are ready for almost anything and one oddsmaker with a knack of ringing the bell has marked them down as 2« points better than Illinois. Northwestern also is favored to duet off Wisconsin at Evanston in the only other Rig Ten game of the week Michigan plays Pittsburgh at Ann Arbor and Texas Christian playa at Indiana Since Rernie Bier man arrived to coach In 1932. Minnesota has been outfought but once by Northwestern tn 193 S Its Infrequent defeat* for the most part resulted from mechanical errors by players with an outetandlng weakness and In this 1941 array there seems to lonone to answer that description Minnesota will have a weight advantage ranging from 1* to 20

Northwestern nevertheless rates an edge over Wisconsin. after the disappointing defeat the Badgers took from Marquette Coach Lynn Waldorf has put together a better than fair line to split defense* for hl* hocd running backs.

Pitt lacks the power to pierce Purdue. Michigan, however, still lacks a breakaway runner and It might be i a close one. Texae Christian hasn't found its- | self offensively and Indiana hasn't | found itself In anything T. C I' i is a passing team Mince the Hoosiers lost both their early games on ■ IMcselng. the Texan* are rated a slight favorite. One thing la certain, however.

The funny thing about Stevens is that he has swept aside Penn military college and Lafayette so far this season and therefore hae an undefeated team However, that sltuaatlun will be corrected come 2 p. m. tomorrow when the N.

The ord- ( Inary practice is to keep the ben»es , In the same category as the light ' brigade "theira not to reason j why. theirs but to do and die." But Stevens asked the heroes Mould they like a light schedule, a tough schedule or a very, estraepee lai tough schedule? Like the heroes they are. the hen*es said they wanted the very, eltra spec lai 1 tough schedule. Tomorrow they start getting it. You read It and I let the h- roes weep: Teias A.

For a while, their chances looked pretty good. But suddenly the I'nited States Army began to ebow a lively interest in some of the heroes. They were the right age. they were healthy physical specimens and if they could tight, fight, tight for dear old N. Y. U.. why couldn't they light, tight, fight for Ullcl* Mam? The luck of the draft decided that I'ncle Ham needed the men who were bulwark* Just where Texas A. A M. hits hardest In the middle of the line. One by one they went. Oscar Blomquist, a guard, changed his
