The Ohio State-Wisconsin game|

Ohio State has rolled to five con=}

| was over a league foe, however.

In one of the wildest games of the 1041 season, Ohio State downed Wisconsin, 46 to 34. Tomorrow's game may not equal that highscoring encounter, but it promises to be an offensive show that pits Paul Sarringhaus and Gene Fekete of the Bucks against the Badgers

| great backfield pair of Elroy Hirsch

and Pat Harder. Wisconsin is long overdue against Ohio State. The Badgers’ last victory over the Bucks came in 1918. The teams have met six times since with Ohio State winning four and the other two being ties. On the basis of a bit bitter overall strength on the line, Ohio State however rates as a slight favorite in the battle that is expected to draw 40,000 fans. Minnesota, a definite championship contender after its 16 to 14 victory over Michigan last week, possesses too much power for Northwestern. Punchless Purdue

Ohio State and Michigan both found the Northwestern line vulnerable to a high-geared running attack and if Bill Daley is able to play the Gophers shouldn't be extended. Daley has been tabbed a doubtful starter because of a leg injury. Michigan, still smouldering over the loss to Minnesota and the referee’s error that helped turn the decision against them, is likely to take it out on Illinois. Unbeaten in two conference starts, Illinois enters the game against Michigan with a heavy injury list and lacks the reserve strength to plug the gaps. Iowa, with Tommy Farmer passing, has an edge over punchless Purdue. : With three consecutive victories, Notre Dame should ‘keep rolling at the expense of Navy. The Iowa Cadets, back in action after a week's layoff, are heavily favored over Indiana, and Missouri gets the nod over Great Lakes.

DePauw Tightens Pass Defense

For Butler Game Tomorrow

"Times Special

GREENCASTLE, Oct. 30.—Emphasis was on pass defensc in today’s drill as the DePauw university Tigers prepared for their tilt in Indian-

apolis tomorrow with the Bulldogs of Butler university.

Coach “Gaumy” Neal hoped to cure the Tigers’ ailing pass defense setup which was their only apparent weakness last Saturday in trounc-

ing Hanover’s Hilltoppers, 53 to 17. DePauw’s own pass offensive for the game also was stressed, although there is some question as to whether “Buck” ' Galbraith, star passer and left halfback will be able to start in Saturday's game. Coach Neal and Trainer Hugh Nicholas hope to have him ready for the all-important Butler clash, although he has suffered most of the week with a boil and was confined for several days in the university infirmary. ; Definitely out of action Saturday is Horace (Fick) Filer, 203-pound freshman tackle, who received a bad sprained ankle last Saturday. Filer has seen action in most of the games this season and his loss cuts into the Tigers’ reserve strength.
