Minnesota, mighty monster of

‘top of The Indianapolis Times’ Football Ratings this week by vir-|

the Mid West, moved back to the

fue of its smashing victory over a good Illinois team last Saturday. Duke, Texas, Northwestern, Michigan, Notre Dame and Fordham follow in that order as the six best of the week. The ratings have been presented this time in straight numerical form instead of by alphabetical designation. Thus, Minnesota is 946 instead of A-46: Indiana becomes 850 instead of B-50, Butler becomes

524 instead of E-24. With three games to work against the ratings have become remarkably accurate. In other words, the * team with the higher rating last week won in a high percentage of games played. Ohio State’s rating this week is 022 compared to 888 for Purdue. Nebraska is rated 914. Notre Dame, at 934, is matched against C ech at 521. DePauw's rating - is 472 "Northwestern and Michigan, opponents in this week’s No. 1 game, are about equal in the ratings, the ildeats al 941, the Wolverines at
