Ohio Slate And Michigan Tied For Loop Lead CHICAGO (INS) — Ohio State’s 31 to 14 conquest of previously unbeaten Wisconsin and Michigan’s stunning 34 to 0 rout of reputedly powerful—and also undefeated Minnesota shared the spotlight today in a red hot Big Ten race. The Buckeyes and the Wolverines are tied for the conference leadership, and with it, the golden chance to represent (the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. Before they earn the coveted goal chance, however, each must dispose of future conference foes — with the climax a showdown clash between the two teams themselves at Columbus. 0., on Nov. 20. — Ohio State, which is unbeaten against all comers, Ifas a Big Ten record of four victories and no defeats. Michigan, loser only to Army, has a 3-0 conference mark. Next Saturday. Ohio State travels to Evanston, 111., to oppose Northwestern’s Wildcats. The Buckeyes are prohibitive favorites to cage the Wildcats, but cannot afford to permit overconfidence to lower their guard. Northwestern lost, 14 to 7, to Pittsburgh last Saturday — the Wildcats’ fourth licking in five games this season. But they are much stronger than tjjeir record indicates and are notortous in the Big Ten as spoilers of potential champions. Michigan meets Indiana on Saturday and its well balanced attack should prove too much for the Hoosiers, who lost 27 to 14 to lowa last Saturday. In other Big Ten games next Saturday, Illinois faces Purdue. lowa battles Wisconsin, and Michigan State opposes Minnesota. Notre Dame, which was idle last weekend, travels to Baltimore for a game with Navy and Marquette battles Detroit Friday night. Heroes were numerous in last Saturday’s Big Ten games. One of the best in the clutch was Ohio State’s fleet halfback, Howard (Hopalong) Cassady, whose 88-yard sprint for a touchdown in the third quarter- took the heart out of a stubborn Wisconsin team. Another standout was Purdue’s star sophomore quarterback, Len Dawson," who passed for three touchdowns and kicked three ■points—aa the Boilermakers were' trouncing Michigan State, 27 to 13. Dawson now has passed for 12 touchdowns this season. Michigan’s upset of Minnesota wap essentially a team triumph, with fullback Jim Baer crashing through for two touchdowns. Illinois rallied from four defeats to crush Syracuse, 34 to 6, as young halfback Abe Woodson scored two touchdowns ajid ace runner J. X’. Caroline galloped for another. Caroline, held to 66 yards last year by Syracuse, racked up 89 this time in 13 tries. lowa’s Carl Smith registered two touchdowns against Indiana — one on a 48-yard dash. Smith now has a rushing average of almost 15 yards per attempt. On the dehit side Os the ledger. Northwestern fumbled four times as it lost to Pitt and now has a total of 30 fumbles against all foes this year—a grim explanation for the Wildcats’ defeats. Marquette's warriors were held to a 14 to 14 tie by Fordham and were saved from defeat in the final period when quarterback Jere Carmody passed 31 yards to end Dick .Varish for the deadlocking touchdown.
