and Elkhart’s Blue Blazers, bitter rivals in the eastern division of Northern high school football, will clash their forces Thanksgiving Day morning, with the sound and the fury signifying—nothing. That is, nothing so far as deciding the conference crown is concerned. Elkhart previously conceded Washington that title, and it stands official. But both teams have a great stake in the game—their pride. Gnashing of teeth has accompanied all discourse pro and’ con by Elkhart and South Bend fans this year, and the Turkey Day battle will bring out the bitterest inter-city fan rivalry in years. Officials of both schools met last night and finally agreed upon a site for the contest—Elkhart’s Rice field at 11 a. m. The game was slated to be played as originally planned, contrary to reports circulated by some sources that Washington had cancelled the contest. Bearing on the state race will be decisive only if Washington .beats Elkhart. This would leave Lew Wallace of Gary the only undefeated team in the state, and the undisputed Hoosier champion.

From this demoralizing group, Brown has pieced together a surprising team that opened with a respectable victory over Missouri, the Big Six champions, slaughtered Southern California, 33 to 0, and so far has suffered only a defeat by Northwestern. If his Saturday foe were any team but Michigan he could lose gracefully and still call a season of six victories and two defeats a successful campaign for a starter. There'll be additional pressure on

Undefeated Minnesota, already assured of a piece of the title for the sixth time in eight years, must whip Wisconsin or hand out a share to the winner of the Ohio State-Mich-igan game. . With Michigan the favorite, a near capacity throng of 85,000 will flock into the bowl at Ann Harbor, Mich,, to back the Wolverines. Michigan's 28-to-0 victory over Columbia last week came with ridiculous «case. Capt. Bob Westfall, the spinner genius, rolled over three touchdowns and sophomore Tom Kuzma picked up another.
