Foes Crippled | As Minnesota Seeks Revenge

| Northwestern Victory Would Give Indiana Chance

To Share Crown.

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, Nov. 12. —Minnesota is inspired, Northwestern is crippled, but 64,000 fans will jam Memorial Stadium Saturday fearful that the defending Big Ten champions may repeat their stunning victory of 1936 and throw the Conference campaign into a four-

team race. There is good reason to fear Northwestern. Although the wildcats are more of an underdog this week than they were last October when they tumbled Minnesota at the crest of a 2l-game winning streak, their Gopher series is packed with upsets. : Minnesota must sweep its remaining games with Northwestern and Wisconsin to claim an undisputed title. If they lose to either one. Indiana, Ohio State or Wisconsin have an outside chance of stepping in for at least a share of the crown. Ohio State can win it outright. All three contenders will push their title cause Saturday. Ohio State, which plays one more conference game than the others, batties stubborn Illinois at Columbus, Indiana travels to Iowa and Purdue meets Wisconsin at Madison. Outside the league, Michigan invades the Edst to meet Pennsylvania and Beloit College steps into faster company for a game at Chicage. Gopher Reserves Strong Minnesota's great advantage over Northwestern extends into every department of play. In Harold Van Every, Bernie Bierman has brought along a dangerous forward passer who can run and block as well. The Gophers are well-stocked with reserves while Coach Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern will have difficulty finding enough unbandaged men to keep firing into the game. Waldorf said Guard Mike Calvano and Center Erwin Wegner definitely would not play. Five others were doubtful. Mentally, Minnesota is right. Twelve men who played in that historic battle in the mud last fall are back with bitter memories of Northwestern's triumph. Northwestern, meanwhile, came out of the Illinois game with their morale bumped around as much as their bodies. Ohio State will have its hands full with Illinois. Bob Zuppke's defense has baffled all but Indiana this fall—and the Hoosiers had tough Fullback Corby Davis belting the Illini. It may be a defensive battle with a scoreless tie for Ohio State has had only 10 points scored against it in the Big Ten—10 by Indiana. I. U. Heavy Favorite Indiana, with the best passing attack in the Big Ten, was a heavy favorite to down Iowa. Iowa was smothered by the Gopher passes last Saturday as they fell, 35 to 10, and their pass defense likely will not be much improved. At Wisconsin, the Badgers will have at least an even break against Purdue. Wisconsin has had a full week of rest after meeting Pittsburgh and that may be the deciding’ factor. Purdue had to travel East

to meet Fordham's bruising Rams last week. Michigan and Penn should be a tossup. Beloit is out of its class at Chicago.

Nebraska Team Reaches Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12 (U.P). — An undefeated, but twice-tied Nebraska football eleven invaded Pittsburgh today and immediately went into seclusion to prepare for its test against the Pitt Panthers tomorrow at Pitt Stadium. The Cornhuskers—34 strong—were taken to Shady Side Academy where Head Coach Maj. (Biff) Jones planned a secret practice session this afternoon. Interest was added to the game because unconfirmed reports said Pitt already has been “felt out” by the Rose Bowl selection committee. A victory for Nebraska would give the Cornhuskers a big boost in their national ratings and possibly a chance to receive a bid to one of the postseasonal bowl games.

Many Seats Unsold For I. U.-Purdue Tilt

There are still several thousand tickets unsold for the Purdue-Indi-ana game Nov. 20 at Bloomington, Frank Elliott, I. U. publicity director, said today. Arrangements have been made to install additional seating and an effort will be made to accommodate all those desiring to attend, Mr. Elliott added. A crowd of 24,000 is expected to view the contest. All seats are reserved and no general admissions will be sold, he revealed. Tickets are available in Indianapolis at Spauldings, 9 E. Market St.; the I. U. Extension Center, 112 E. Market St., and the I. U. Medical Center. Reservations may be made directly through L. L. her, ticket manager, at Bloomington.

Martin Resigns as Dixie Loop Leader

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Nov. 12. — Leader of the Southern Baseball Association for 19 years, Federal Judge John D. Martin resigned last night, but still will serve the league as chairman of the board of directors and treasurer. A new league president will be named by the directors late in January.

DePauw-Wabash Clash Heads State Card

By United Press

Edged out of the Indiana Conference title by the pugnacious Bulldogs of Butler University, Coach Raymond (Gaumy) Neal's | DePauw Tigers were ready today | for a vigorous defense of their run- | ner-up position in the league stand- | ings. The hard-driving Tigers,

who |

| have pounded on the conference | title door all season, will journey

to Crawfordsville tomorrow to battle Coach Pete Vaughan's canny Little Giants, who last week tossed | a scare into Butler by holding the | Bulldogs to a scoreless tie. The game, 45th renewal of the | oldest gridiron rivalry west of the Alleghenies, will close the season for both schools and mark Wabash’s annual home-coming. With no chance of winning the title following their 12-0 defeat by Butler two weeks ago, DePauw will concentrate on attempting to recover the Monon bell, symbol of victory in the DePauw-Wabash feud. Wabash, holder of the trophy by virtue of its 19-to-0 victory last year, will seek its 22d win in the series between the two teams, DePauw's last triumph was scored in 1933. Valparaiso’s Uhlans opened this week's nine game schedule inconspicuously in an Armistice Day contest yesterday by taking a 26-to-0 beating from St. Viator (Ill), Valparaiso chalked up a record of four victories and two defeats in conference competition this season. Two nonconference games were scheduled for this afternoon. Evansville invaded the home camp of Southeast Missouri State Teachers College, and St. Joseph's journeyved to Elmhurst, Ill.

Another outstanding game, rank- ||

ing No. 2 to the Depauw-Wabash clash, will be played at Fairview Bowl tomorrow when Coach Tony Hinkle's Bulldogs entertain a powerful Western State eleven from Michigan. This is a nonconference ilt.

By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent POKANE, Wash, Nov. 12.— There are two types of wolves up here in the North Country—the timber and the football—and opinjon is divided as to which is the deadlier. There is no doubt as to which variety is the bolder. Because, whereas the timber wolf will think twice before attacking man, the football wolf will lope right onto a university campus, bark his way into the offices of the athletic department, and chew ‘the coach to bits. There are a lot more football wolves than timber ones, too. The latter type is almost extinct, in fact, but the football wolves — lobo alumnus, to give them their scientific name—are here by the thousands. They run in great packs in every town where there is a football team, and they multiply at an amazing rate, especially after their teams have been defeated. The largest pack in the state is operating right now around Seattle. It is after Jimmy Phelan, coach of the Washington Huskies. On clear

nights it can be heard barking from Puget Sound to Walla Walla. This time "last year the football wolves were very fond of Phelan and, wearing their best sheep's clothing, frolicked about him with the friendliness of collie pups, licking his hands, so to speak. » ” ” UT that was last year when Phelan's huskies rode roughshod through the Pacific Coast Conference without losing a game, and wound up getting the coveted bid to participate in the Rose Bowl festivities at Pasadena. This year Washington's team has found the going tough. Already it has been beaten by Oregon State and Stanford, and tied by Washington and California. Its coast title hopes are gone, and there is no Rose Bowl invitation coming. The wolves think Phelan should be removed. In defeat they can see no good in him, which makes them identical with the other wolves all over the country. Nothing costs a eae: $0 much character as a lickng. Last year they thought his coaching plan, and the manner in which

he taught it, very much okay. But this year, on one Seattle paper's editorial page, was an article which said there were only two things wrong with Washington University football—the coach and the system. This article criticized the presence of out-of-state players on the team, and pointed out that the WwWashington crew won the Olympic tile with home-bred boys, coached by a home-bred coach, Last year no one took the trouble to look up the birthplaces of the players.
