Williams' rough treatment of the itocky. fleet footed Mexican from ttockton. Cal. whom he floored 'lve times and caused to slip to 'he canvas on another occasion, made the champion doubly valuable for a return title tilt with Enrique Bolanos at Los Angeles next February.

ruraue neeis Noire Dame In Standout Till Chh ago. Sept. 21 tl PI One of the lop-touted dubs in the big nine. Purdue, meets Notre Dame at South Bend tomorrow in the | midwest's standout football clash on the opening grid Saturday The Boilermaker Irish ta’tgle headlines an eight-game card invol ving big nine dubs Only one of them, however, was a conference' scrap, between Indiana and U iscousin at Madison. Other games bolving big nine I teams are Kansas Stale at.lllinois. | Michigan at Michigan State. Min , nesota at Washington. Northwi-si-1 ern at F. C- L. A., Marquette at Io wa and Missouri at Ohio State. Purdue, although an underdog in j the gamblers' books, was rated a good bet to upset the Irish, trying to protect a record of 18 games without defeat. Notre Dame generally was held as a 10 to 12 point favorite, but the Irish backfield was a questionable factor as Terry Brennan, bis replacement Ernie Zalejski, and i John Panelll suffer from injured knees. The Notre Dame tackles, ti o. were mot rated at a par with the usual huskies manning those posts for the Frank Leahy squad For the Boilermakers coach Stu Holcomb probably will rely on the passing of Bob DeMos*. one of the big n ne's best, and the running of Hurry Fzulborski and Norb Adams. Harry Stuhldreher's Wlsconson eleven, a darkhorse contender for j the big nine crown, was a two touchdown favorite over Indiana in the first conference game of the year. Wisconsin has a combination of good veterans and good sophomores aj:d was given a chance at the big II ne title because of a schedule break through which it will not play Purdue and Michigan. Tomorrow's game will be Clyde Smith'd debut as a big nine coach at Ind iana Purdue was the only big nine club which was rated as the under dog in the non-conferen. e games.
