Northwestern, Michigan Play Grid Feature Chicago. Oct. 1! (I*l*9 Northwestern. rlzht now the big. nine'* top candidate for the Rone Howl. meets the toughest test left ou the road to the west Saturday in what could turn out to be the western conferences'* championship football game The Wildcat's victor* over Purdue and Minnesota, the top favorites for the league crown, in their first two games, take on Michigan at Ann Arbor in the major game left on the Northwestern schedule. Michigan, ranked on a par with the big three in pre- season estimates. proved its right to the position Saturday with a onesided in to 0 victory over the Boilermakers. At the same time Northwestern came from behind to down Minneso’a. 19 to 16, and continue unde seated Thus, their Saturday battle shapes up as a scrap between undefeated clubs, each with three victories. and big nine lenders too And if Northwestern wins, it looks like a big nine championship, for the Wildcats for the first time since 1936. But win or lose, the Wildcats might go to the Rose Bowl, even if Mi<higan should win the game, the Wolverines couldn't make the post-season trip west because as the 1847 titleholders they did After Michigan, Northwestern plays Illinois, Ohio State and Wisconsin In conference games, ami Syracuse and Notre Dame otherwise. Northwestern spotted Minnesota 16 points in the first period Satur day but then rallied on Hon Burson's passing to come up with 19 points in the second half for the lead After that both teams stuck to the ground and bumped heads in the line with futile success.

U. S. Pat. Off) o a i Boston. Oct 11— (CP) — One | hundred and two pitches burst the Bobby Feller bubble. That's how many times the famed rapid Robert sent his legendary, fast ball and his once-magnificent , curve winging toward the plate in the fifth game of the world series But this time. Instead of burning 'heir way past enemy bats with untouchable speed or cunning manipulation which frustrated 'he ' hungry wood, they all too often ' were temptingly touchable So for the second time In this 1 series he was beaten by the fat from murderous Boston Praves. The first time they were lucky to 1 do it For Feller had pitched a ' two-hitter where defeat was a thing of heart break. But this time they 1 humiliated the highest paid pitcher In baseball history. After six and ' one-third innings in which thev made him look like a cousin, base-! ball parlance for somebody easy to handle, he was belted from the mound In that time he had given them eight hits and eight runs. "Thank God for Feller.” said Tommy Holmes of the Braves after the game No insult wax intended But it was there just the same There were days when even the best batters trembled at the hought of facing that fast ball \nd there was a club which makes no pretense of being great at the •date offering prayers for the privi- ( ege of hitting against him The reason was that, ax so often' his year when the whisper has, tone around the circuit that Feller 1 s losing his stuff, the bull-shoulder-! d boy from lowa didn't have it on •he ball. His fast one limped up there just pleading to be plastered ind his curve curtsied to every' titter They didn't have to be ask•d twice, those Braves In the first Inning they rammed J hree hits, including Bob Elliott's' •hree-run homer. Then, again in he third, the square jawed third baseman sent the ball screaming, tut of the park • Still ft seemed that Feller might realise his dream of pitching a world series victory when the Indians put him out in front. 5 to 4, in the fourth. But it wasn't to be. ' With one out in the sixth, Bill Salkeld teed off on Bobby's first I pitch for a tying homer and then in the seventh the roof fell in for j good on the fabulous figure of Feb | ler Holmes singled. Al Dark sacrificed and Earl Torgeson sent Holmes racing home with another tingle That was the end of the line for Bob It was a walk of despair which Feller made then, one which seemed to stretch interminable miles before be passed out of the sight of the largest baseball crowd in the history of the - game And. while it was predominantly a Cleveland crowd, even the raucous Boston rooters watched him go in almost sorrowful silence. | For a star had fallen and notl many among those 86.28* fans believed that fireball Bobby Feller ever could glow as brightly again I PRO FOOTBALL National League Chicago Bears 42.
