Illinois And Northwestern , In Top Tilt Chicago. Nov 22.--(!'P)-l1ll-no|s. In the glare of the national football spotlight more prominent-, ly than anytime since the fabled day* of "Red" Grange, seek* the western conference champlon-hlp ' and with It a Hose Bowl berth tomorrow when It meet* Northwestern In one of the nation'* headline contests. Illinois goes Into the cllmacUc contest with a conference record of five victories us uv-alnst one lo«>< and a triumph over Northwestern will bring It the undisputed championship regardless of the outcome of the battle between second place Michigan and Ohio Stale at Columbus. Should Illinois lose, Michigan could grab the crown and the bowl bld by lieating the Bucks. If Illinois tie* Northwestern, while the Wolverines ate lieating Ohio State, the race would end in a deadlock. The Illinois Northwestern battle will draw a capacity crowd of 47,(Mt0 fans to Dyche stadium in suburban Evanston. All seat*, including temporary bleachers in the end zones, have )>een sold for three week*. Illinois will go into the game as the favorite. The mid-west's professional odds-mnkers have made the Bllnl a seven point choice The record supports such a calculation for coach Ruy Eliot's combination has beaten Wisconsin, Michigan. lowa and Ohio Stale during the pant month, while Northwestern dropped its last three battles to Ohio. Indiana and Notre Dame. Although potentially a brilliant offensive outfit. Illinois battled lie way to the top of the big nine standing primarily on the basis of an alert, aggressive and rugged defense. Twelve times In the encounters with Michigan. lowa and Ohio, the Illinois line has stopped scoring threats after the opponents moved within the 25 yard line. Last week. Ohio State had a first down on the lllini five yard line but couldn’t score. Key man in the Illinois defense Is Alex Ag ise, an all-Ami rlcan guard at Illinois in pre-war years who once again is bidding for an honorary berth. Agase broke a thumb against Ohio State, but will play against Northwestern.
