Illinois Meets Ohio State In j Grid Feature Chicago. Nov. i. •! »*) — Ohio. State's Rose Bowl hopes run; against a major obstacle Saturday,; Illinois and its sprinting sopho , mores, and the winner of the game might well be the Big Ten » post season representative at Pasadena. The Buckeyes at the moment are tied for the conference lead with Michigan, but still must play the Wolverines in the final game of the season. Illinois already has tangled with the defending champions.. and lost; still the llllni have a record of three wins, one loss and one tie, and are solidly ■ located in third place in the stand lugs. A victon- over the Buckeyus might clinch the Bowl bid for the llllni. for after Saturday's con test the Ray Eliot eleven meet* Northwestern, more erratic than usual this year, and Illinois should be able to beat the Wildcats if a win would mean the Iwwi. Ohio State, by winning Saturday. ’ simply would arouse Michigan to: a higher pitch for their finale of I the season, and a defeat of the Bucks by the Wolverines might 1 cost Ohio State the Bowl chance. With this objective Michigan would be even tougher Michigan looked like a cinch to retain at least a share of the conference championship it won single-handed last year, unless Ohio Sate proves good enough to lick both Illinois and the Wolverine* for both the title and the j bowl Should Michigan win its last I two games, it would take the title 1 and leave only the bowl bld as the issue, for not even Illinois could tie should it beat both Ohio State and Northwestern. The Illinois Ohio State match wilt be the headliner of the Big Ten card of three games this week-

Rex Mays Is Killed In Automobile Race Del Mar. Cal.. Nov. ~ — <l*P» Officials clamped a tight censor- ! ship today on circumstance* aur | rounding the deazh of handsome Rex Mays, one of the nation’s top automobile racer* who was kill-d ; during a 100-mile ra< e here yenter- ' day. The 36-year old Mays, long one of . the sport s most popular figures, was killed instantly when ala Wolfe special hit a chuck hole on •he dirt track and thrown . into the path of another car. i A crowd of 20.630 watched in horror as the Giendale. Cal, racer was mowed down by the onrushlag cars on the south turn of the ira k. normally 4he scene of summer horse racing. Track officials said Mays was struck by one of five ears which were almost abreast as they round- < ed the turn. They were unalde. or unwilling, to identify the car that hit May* and AAA represer’ati.-es ordered a censorship of pictures made of the accident. A track physician. Dr. Thomas J. Whiteiock said Mays' fatal injuries were caused »y ' being hit by the unidentified driver, not by his fall. Commercial photographer Paul Madigan had been hired l>y the j AAA to film the race and had ‘he only pictures "We don't consider it the best publicity to show fatal accidents," , said Gordon Bettz, AAA zone sup 1 ervisor from fx>s Angeles. May*, who had been driving since 1931. was in second place when the accident occurred on the 13th lap of the race. He was one of the few driver* ! who didn't wear a safety belt. Ironically he once said he would prefer that “the car dump me than i stay In it if something happened ' "I learned that from experience, and the hard way," he explained. * I one time rolled over and fell otU in the middle of the track. The car i continued on and was demolished. . All I got out of it were a few bruises.”
