Big Ten Teams End Season In Games Saturday CHICAGO <UPI)— Northwestern and Wisconsin will test their championship and bowl hopes in separate showdown battles Saturday in the Big Ten’s final football skirmish. Northwestern (4-2-0) meets Illinois at Champaign and Wisconsin (also 4-2-0) faces Minnesota at Minneapolis. The issue was simple: —A victory by one frontrunner and a loss or tie by the other gives the winner the Big Ten championship and bid to the Rose Bowl. Could Share Crown —Victories by both gives a share of the crown and leaves it up to the voters to pick the Rose Bowl' team. —Losses by both gives the championship, and probably the bowl bid, to Michigan State which closed its conference season last week with a 4-2-0 slate The Wildcats were cast as twopoint favorites over the Illini, the league’s top defensive team. On their record, the Wildcats appear to be good for at least two touchdowns with such flashy performers as Ron Burton, probably the fastest back in the conference, and Mike Stock, who ranks as the second best ground gainer in the Big Ten. The Illini, who extended the race last Saturday by beating Wisconsin, will have the ‘psychological edge in that they will be playing for the last time under coach Ray Eliot. The veteran coach is stepping out of the job and up to athletic director after Saturday’s game. One development could delay Eliot’s plans. That would come if the Illini happen to be voted the Rose Bowl representative, a possibility if they score an impressive victory Saturday and Wisconsin is beaten by Minnesota. Badgers Favored Over Gophers At Minneapolis, the Badgers were rated a one touchdown choice over the Gophers, who lost five straight in the conference. The Badgers will go into the game with the rare distinction of outweighing their beefy rivals from the northland. The TTophers UfidoEed - SUttrprtSing "pro-type” aerial offensive against Purdue last week, but Saturday they will be bumping foot the most alert secondary in the league.

Boston Is Eighth City New loop Vfo)BOSTON (UPI) — A group of New England sportsmen have cleared their first hurdle in bringing professional football back to Boston but they faced still another major problem today. William H. Sullivan Jr., sports promoter and Boston businessman, announced Thursday that a franchise had been obtained for the city as the eighth club in the newly formed American Football League. Sl , Though Sullivan confidently predicted -that “we’ll <men our season next September,” there still remained the problem of finding a place to play. There are a. number of suitable stadiums in the area but most of the owners have indicated no desire to provide space for pro gridders. A team would need space for at least 25,000 fans while at home to break even. Sullivan gave no indication of how he intended to solve the stadium problem but he appeared confident the team would have a place to play.

U. 8. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International MELBOURNE. Australia (UPI) — If you want to go on a safari, you don’t have to go to Africa because Australia offers the world’s sportsmen a hunting and fishing paradise second to none. There are parts of this country which are wilder than Dodge City in its heyday and have enough game to turn Buffalo Bill emerald with envy. The best is in Arnhemland, a wild, unpopulated country of vast plains, towering escarpments and sky blue lakes known as billabongs. Not only that, but it’s comparatively easy to reach, and once you’re here the living is as cheap as the dirt which goes for as low as two shillings—22 cents — an acre in the wilderness of the outback. “It’s only a 110-mile flight from Darwin in my plaque,says Alan Stuart, one time army foiajor who looks like the typical Hollywood portrait of the safari white hunter. Edge as World “And you feel as if you are at the end of the world. Not only feel it, you are.” Stuart has 1,000 acres under lease in “toe territory,” and his camp is hard by a tribe of aboriginals who live as primitively as they did 1,000 years ago. Help is hard to keep because these Stone Age primitives are “walkabouts” who whistle to their “lubra” or wife and silnply disappear into the bush for several months- But there are always enough of them <m hand to put on a “coroboree” or tribal dance. Scenitfally, Stuart contends that this is every bit as primitive and spectacular as the best Africa has to offer. And then for the sportsman there is a fascinating variety of fish and game. “We can put you on to wild buffalo which roam in packs of 20 and are big as horses,” he explains. “When hit they are really dangerous and charge like rhino. Once, recently, we hit one at 200 yards with a .303 and it charged. It took 10 shots to stop him jusj before he was on us.” One Shot—29 Ducks Then there are wild pigs big as great dane dogs Which will charge and rip the dogs to ribbons. There are crocodiles hunted at night from boats which average from 8 to JO feet and run up to 20 feet. The geese and ducks are so thick that using a double-barreled shotgun, you discharge one barrel into the water to put them in flight. “Then you shoot toe other barrel and so help me,” says Stuart, “I’ve seen the veriest novice knock down 20 birds with one shot, they’re that thick.” 'For the fisherman there is a fish called toe barrumundi, a tuna type which runs from three feet-up.

Purdue Coach Says Indiana Is Favorite INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Indiana's Hoosiers go into the "Old Oaken Bucket” football game as favorites, Purdue coach Jack Mollenkopf said today, but the rival camps agreed that the breaks could make the difference. Purdue, outhustled on its home grounds, came from behind in the fourth period last year to gain a 15-15 deadlock, the first tie in 22 years. Observers agreed the Boilermakers were lucky to get off the hook. That marked the 11th straight year for Purdue to prevent an Indiana victory, but this time the Hoosiers appeared ready for an all-out effort, because: —Their key personnel is in better physical condition than Purdue’s. — It’s the last game to be played in Memorial Stadium. Hoosiers Fit With the exception of deceptive tailback Ted Smith, their captain, the Hoosiers should be 100 per cent fit. Smith, who injured his left hand in last Saturday’s 26-7 victory over Michigan, was expected to be recovered sufficiently to see plenty of action. He was listed as a starter in coach Phil Dickens’ single-wing formation. Despite the healthy personnel outlook, Dickens remained cautious. "We know purdue has had its injuries, but we know they'll be tough,” he said. ‘T’d say we have a good chance to win if we’re real high. “All I know is it’s going to be a helluva day.” Fullback Vic Jones, tailback John Henry Jackson and Richie Bradford were expected to tote the ball with Smith for the Hoosiers, behind a strong line anchored by Ted Aucreman at one end and huge Earl Faison at the other. Joe Dienhart, who scouted Indiana three times this fall, said the Hoosiers are "tough.” Rates Purdue Underdogs "They’ve got a good ball club,” said Dienhart- "Their blocking and tackling is good, their runners are dangerous.” "We’re definitely the underdogs,” said Mollenkopf. “They’ve got a tremendous football team.” But Mollenkopf, known as the developer of great lines at Purdue, said he hopes to have a few surprises for the Hoosiers. "I just hope we can play a good, creditable game,” he said. “If we’re fortunate to win, I’d be very happy.” Purdue fullbacks Bob Jarus and Jack Lara way were both on the “doubtful” list due to injuries and illness, but quarterback Ross Fichtner, who starred last week against Minnesota and who suffered a shoulder separation against Notre Dame early in the season, was ready. Records Mean Nothing The two Big Ten arch rivals had four mutual opponents this fall, and Purdue fared better only against Minnesota, beating the Gophers, 29.23, while Indiana lost to them, 24-14. "But that doesn’t mean a thing in this series,” said Dienhart, "You have to discount season records when Purdue plays Indiana.’ Exactly 34 years ago, Indiana dedicated Memorial Stadium in a game against Purdue which ended in a scoreless tie. A sell - out crowd of 35,325 was expected to be on hand Saturday. Purdue leads the series dating back to 1891 with 35 victories, 20 losses and 6 ties. The Hoosiers, who hope to complete their second straight allwinning home season, move into a 47,000-seat stadium next fall. College Football Youngstown 34, Akron 14.

Before Ingemar boarded a jet clipper for Paris Thursday night he declared: "I haven’t talked to Velella. I don’t want to talk to him, and I don’t want to hear about him talking.” Velella, new president of the delicensed Rosensohn Enterprises, Inc., has announced he plans to stage the return title fight between Johansson and Floyd Patterson at Miami Beach in early March. The Rosensohn corporation has a contract with Johansson and Patterson calling for a return title bout to be staged somewhere in the United States between March 1 and June 15.

"I want the fight to be in New York,” said the champion at International Airport.

Farmers Union Head Speaks Os Russians WASHINGTON (UPI) —The American farmer is short of enthusiasm and the will to succed campared with his Russian counterpart, John Raber, President of the Indiana Farmers Union, said today. Raber testified before the Joint Congressional Economic Committee, describing his trip to the Soviet Union in July, 1058. He said he talked with Russian farmers, compared their agricultural system with that of the United States and concluded that the Russians are no threat on most scores. Their farm equipment, know - how and professional approach to production all fall short of the Americans’, Raber said. The Russian farmer feels he is needed and wanted, and each success is met with praise and reward from the government, Raber said. The Russian feels his country has the better system, the Indiana farmer said, and is pledged to outstrip us in production and in quality. The American farmer, on the other hand, feels rejected,” Raber said. "He is dedicated to individual ownership of America’s -farms, and he fears there are forces in the land that want to drive him off the farm. He ftels our present farm program is a failure, that local taxes are . unfair, that the government dolsn’t cale> about his future.” “The attitude of the American farmer today is lacking in enthusiasm and purpose, and his will to succeed is dying,” Raber said. “The'Russian is dedicated to his task. He has confidence and he is living for his future." •*“ Black Silk Gloves The black silk gloves that have become shabby can be renovated nicely by mixing a little white of an egg with black ink, putting the gloves on the hands and applying the mixture with a soft cloth.
