S TIRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

THE WINNERS? SNOTHER week has rolled around. batch of football games Is to be " p.ayed Saturday. It looks as though the mld-West has more than its share of the features. The East is comparatively quiet after a hot time last week. The usual upsets will cause the dopesters to gasp. In the following list of games we will endeavor to pick tbe favorites, at the same time, mentioning those contests in which the underdog appears to have a chance to kick the dope bucket around along with the pigskins. MICHIGAN Is tiie choice over Illinois. There are those in this city who are willing to wager 2 to 1 on the Wolverines. It is a strange thing to see the lUini on the long end of snch odds. The phenomenon Is caused by the fact that many believe Michigan Is one of the best teams in the country. They may be right, but such odds do not seem right. The fray will ndt be one-sided if Illinois backs can stop Friedman’s passing—which we admit is no easy task. Illinois may have a slight edge on line play, but Michigan probably Will win through the air. NOTRE DAME also is a tremendous favorite around this neck of the woods. Rockne’s team always Is. This year the confidence in the “Irish” does not seemto be misplaced. They are likely to beat the Furple a couple of touchdowns. It will be no pink tea. PERDUE! ban beat Chicago Saturday" if the Boilermakers only think they can, Stagg always manages to knock off the Lafayette club som9 way or other. If some Maroon does not pick up a fumble of intercept a forward p'hss and run 200 yards, more or less, Pup* duo Is likely to realise one of its long cherished ambitions and down the musical Maroons. Everybody seems to like OHIO STATE’S chances over lowa at Columbus. Tills is perfectly all right. The Buckeyes are supposed to .have a great array of backs. lowa must be given an outside chance but it looks as though Ohio has the best aggregation in several years. WISCONSIN iB a 2 to 1 favorite over Indiana. The Crimson will give the Badgers a battle, but hardly appear powerful enough to defeat Captain Harmon and his outfit. The boys about town ere “giving” fourteen points. MINNESOTA Is the overwhelming choice to defeat Wabash. The margin looks like about three touchdowns in favorof the Gophers. That’s the v est we can do, Wabash. Sorry. * BUTLER is due to snap out of it against De Pauw. There is no reason why the local back field should not do better than they showed against Franklin. There will be no overconfidence to combat. The Bulldogs know they must battle and are likely to put some pep into their play. At this time the game appears a rather even affair. BARLHAM should not find much trouble with Hanover and FRANKLIN should dispose of Evansville. Today at Danville CENTRAL NORMAL was a favorite over Rose Poly. In the East perhaps the most even contest Saturday is the SYRACUSE-Penn State game. It Is one of those even-Stephen affairs. Don’t be too sure that Syracuse will win. That eleven Is never very consistent.

NAVY should turn In another victory with Colgate the victim. It won’t be a .arge score. YALE should win over Brown. PRINCETON ought not to find Lehigh so tough. DARTMOUTH won’t be playing Yale this week. Harvard is likely to lose another game. That’s about all unless one wants to mention the fact that NEBRASKA appears to be “in” against Kansas. • * * r=n ROSTY” PETERS. UniIl* I varsity of Illinois Btar I * I half back, has joined the Champaign Are department. What will they do Saturday while “Frosty” is at Ann Arbor. Mich. • * * Maybe the fireman will slide down the goal post on to the Michigan gridiron. • * * Illinois rooters are planning on starting a fire just behind the Michigan goal line. A fireman always has the right of way. * * • Another idea Is to have a fire gong ready just as “Frosty” grabs the ball. • • * Boots seem to be in Peters’ line. He is a drop-kicker extraordinary and wears ’em in his business. * • • There’s no doubt about / it. “Frosty” is a fiery grid (performer. If the department doesn’t have any runs during the week, the doughty fireman stages some himself on Saturday. • • • The Illini sophomore flash has three sidelines —two chalV lines on the football field and a job at fire headquarter!'.

GALAXY OF IMPORTANT GRID GAMES SATURDAY FOR HOOSIERS

MICHIGAN AND N. D. FAVORED Outstanding Midwest Games Saturday Are t at Ann Arbor and Evanston. By Clark B. Kelsey, United Press Start Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 22. Brilliant back fields, bulging with some of the best backs ever assembled on Midwestern teams, will move Into action Saturday In games which should determine which elevens are the best in the Midwest. Presumably Michigan and Notre Dame should win over Illinois and Northwestern to loom as potential champions of the Central States. Michigan, with Ben Friedman, "Bo" Molenda, Gilbert and Rich will line up againet Illinois’ back field quartet, named the “four mules.” The Illinois boys, “Frosty” Peters, Frank Lanum, Bud Stewart and “Pug” Daugherty, cfarry a kick, but lack the seasoning of the Michigan team. Both teams have strong lines, but Michigan's has been weakened while the Illlnl have been strengthened over last year in the forward wall. Notre Dame has a galaxy of backs who will be inserted into the Northwestern game, chief among whom are Johnny Niemiec, Christy Flanagan, Elmer Wynn, Jack Chevigney, Edwards, Parisien and O’Boyle. Probably none of these is as good as Leland “Tiny” Lewis or Ralph "Moon” Baker of Northwestern, who are paired with Viv Gustafson and Oddy Shumaker, but the constant stream of fresh Notre Dame players on the field may wear down the best of teams If they have no equivalent reserve force to start a similar big parade. Ohio State starts her real test of the season against lowa with a back field composed of Elmer Marek, Marty Karow, Eby, Hunt and Clark. This back field. Buckeyes say. Is the greatest since the great Harley, Stincomb and : the Workman boys played for Jack Wllce. lowa will shoot her best bet since Aubrey Devine, “Cowboy” Nick Kutsch, against them. Then there will bo the Hawkeye hurdler, "Bab” Cuhel, to consider. Purdue, with high hopes of defeating Chicago for the first time in thir-ty-two years strong In her heart, will pin her faith on “Cotton” Wilcox, a line-crashing, end-clrclinp half back who is the best in Boilermaker history' since Oliphant. Wisconsin’s backs—Doyle, Harmon, Shaw, Rose and Kruez—will try to repeat feats of Rollie Williams against Indiana. At Minneapolis, Almquist and Joestlng, the best Gopher backs since Earl Martlneau, will see action against Wabash.

Big Fray Within State Brings De Pauw and Butler Together Four Elevens Away From Indiana. By William J. Dunn United Press Sports Writer Facing games that, in many cases, are expected to prove among the hardest of the year, Indiana college grid mentors today carefully concluded preparations for the Saturday football program. • With four out of six games involving Western conference teams directly of interest to Indiana fans, tomorrow’s grid menu should be one of the best of the year.

What looks to be the best clash of the day fpom a point of both spirit and Importance is the annual Purdue Invasion of Chicago. Alonzo Stagg’s annual “fear” of Purdue has become one of the most famous chestnuts of the gridiron, but this year critics are willing to admit Stagg’s sincerity in fearing the Boilermakers as the Lafayette school Is without doubt one of the most powerful in years and will be a general choice on the part of Indiana fans and many critics to take this year’s battle on the Midway. Tlio Purple Menace Notre Dame’s invasion of Evanston also holds much Interest as the Purple Wildcats of Northwestern have shown an ability to provide the Irish with a real battle, no matter how the two teams rank individually. The Purple eleven nearly stopped the Irish at South Bend last year and are confident of turning the trick this season, but Notre Dame remains tbe choice of most football men in this section. Indiana Invades Wisconsin In the role of the underdog after the fall of the Crimson at Evanston last week. Purdue was unable to do better than a scoreless tie with the Badgers and critics feel that Indiana hardly will do as well. Minnesota will play host to Wabash and the Gophers are favored to win with comparative ease. Wabash has a stronger team than usual, but is hardly strong enough to cope with the powerful Minnesota machine. Butler Favored The best game of the day on Indiana soil will be the Butler-Do Pauw clash here. Butler Is slightly favored, but De Pauw is strong and sure to offer a battle. Earl ham is favored to defeat Hanover at Richmond Saturday on' strength of early season scores. Terre Haute Normal is the choice of most critics to defeat Oakland City when the latter eleven invados Torre Haute Saturday. Rose Poly and Danville Normal were expected to stage a real battle today before a decision was reached, but critics felt the Engineers were due for a victory after three consecutive defeats and they were slightly favored In this afternoon’s clash at Danville. At Indiana Central Vincennes meets Indiana Central here Saturday In a game that should be a battle from the first. The Centralites will rule a slight favorite, although the final score should show the two teams well matched. Franklin will be a strong favorite to halt Evansville when the Baptists Invade the southern Indiana camp Saturday. Franklin showed much strength in holding Butler to a lone touchdown. WOMEN’S NET CONTEST Basket Teams to Play for Unofficial World’s Title. Pit United Press DETROIT. Oct. 22.—The Central Methodist girls’ basketball team, which has a record of 103 consecutive victories to its credit, left here Thursday night for Edmonton, Alberta, where it is to engage the unofficial world’s champion women’s team In two games next week.
