Siiiiiiiioiaiiiiiiipiiiiiiiira TIRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

OERE Is a solution to the Big Ten football tangle. A system of ranking teams devised by Frank G. Dickinson of the faculty of the University of Illinois is winning favor in many quarters. It is generally believed that the percentage system in vogue is not &n equitable method of determining championships. Teams do not all play each other and some play harder schedules than others. Among the coaches, who have indorsed the Dickinson idea are Rockne of Notre Dame, Jack Wilse of Ohio, Bob Zuppke of Illinois, Gil Dobie of Cornell, Burt Ingwersen of lowa and others. “I think the plan is by far the fairest system that has ever been invented to determine conference championships,” wrote Coach Wilse of Ohio. The percentage standing of the Big Ten is as follows: W L T Pet. Michigan 3 1 0 .750 lowa 3 1 0 .667 Northwestern 3 1 0 .667 Chicago 3 1 1 .667 Wisconsin 3 1 I .667 lo State 1 1 1 .500 hois 1 3 0 .333 Inesota 0 0 1 .000 rdue 0 3 0 .000 Indiana . 0 3 C .000 Here is the standing at present in the Western Conference as figured by the Dickinson rating: (It is taken from the Big Ten Weekly) Northwestern 21.67 Michigan 21.67 Wisconsin 21.67 Chicago 18.75 lowa 18.33 Illinois 16.67 Ohio State 16.67 Purdue 10.00 Indiana 10.00 Minnesota Explanation—Althourh three teams are tied for first place, Northwestern gets first ranking by its win over Michigan, which gets second ranking by its win over Wisconsin. Minnesota still has no ranking, having neither won nor lost a Conference game. Wisconsin’s tie With Minnesota cannot be used in the rating until the Gophers are ranked as either a first or second division team. The value of each defeat or victory changes from week to week according to the ranking of opponents met. A concise explanation of the system is as follows: To rate the teams under the Dickinson system, first divide all teams into two groups, first division and second division. Only teams that have won more games than they have lost get first division rating. Next award points for each game as follows: If a first division team defeats a first •sion team, give winner 30 points and r 15 If two first division teams tie. give each 2:3.5. If a first division team loses to a second division team, give winner 30 and loser 10. If a first division team defeats a second division team, give winner 30 poipts and loser 10. If a first division team ties a second division team, give first division team 15 and second division team 30. If a second division team defeats a second division team give winner 20 and loser 10. If two second division teams tie. give each 15 points. After awarding points for all these games, add totals and divide each total by the number of games that team ha played. • • • r“"lN optimist can find a ray ji\ j of sunshine even in the P gray over-hanging clouds and pouring rain. The weather rr,an seems to be deluging the world. On Wednesday, Armistice day, press dispatches state that Northern France was even wetter than It was when the firing stopped in 1918. Those who used to sleep, eat, and fight In the mud of thk trenches smile at the frowning heavens, while the grid fans "cuss” as the football players wallow in the mire each Saturday.

The fame of Hawley as a magician on the gridirons of the East, has reached the ears of Stagg, who gets down on his knees before every contest and prays and prays that victory will touch her soft lips on the headgears of his beloved Maroons. Out .on the midway, where the Maroons are getting ready for the performance of Hawley, it is predicted the magician of Dartmouth will fail even to get a touchdown out of Mr. Stagg's hat. The Maroons have been devoting their time this week to a profound study of the aerial football by which Hawley achieves his effects. However, Dartmouth rules favorite among the majority of dopeslers. This intersectional contest overshadows all other games in the Western Conference, despite the fact the Rig Ten standing may be unravelled this week. Northwestern, the team which threw Bennie Friedman and his brethren Wolverines into bankruptcy last week, is all agog over the possibility of winning the conference crown. The Purple eleven with the services of Ralph (Moon) Baker will appear against Purdue. Minnesota, the only conference team that.has not been defeated, will play lowa.

Butler coaches threaten to shake up the team before the Dayton University game Saturday if some of the regulars don’t out of it in a hurry. A let-down after the Minnesota game is being combated by Coach Page. It is being impressed upon the players that Dayton has the greatest aggregation in the history of the Ohio school.

Saturday before last the University of Cincinnati was snowed under, 23 to 0. It appears as though Butler has a task ahead. It begins to look as though another muddy grid will greet the warriors. That’s about all Butler has had this year. Weather conditions In almost every home game this sea son have been miserable and Butler officials are praying for a bright sun just once. The Butler freshmen under Coach Hinkle will play the yearlings of Kentucky “U.” at Lexington Saturday. Two complete elevens will make the trip, leaving Friday at noon.
