Two views of the O. S. U. stars in action. Ohio State feels just about as certain of winning the western conference title this season as it is that it won the title last year. If speed and power mean anything it must be admitted that State's chances look very bright. Practically all of te stars of last season are back and more have developed this fall.

FRURS PLftY GREAT GAME ID BEAT RACINE, 28-0
raise
The Kast Chicago athletic field was the scene of a hard gridiron struggle yesterday afternoon when the Hegew isch A. A. lost to the Gophers of Kas' Chicago by a 6 to 0 score. Held to a 0-0 score and outpiayed by their heavier opponents In the first half East Chicago came back strong in, the third quarter and after three minutes of play succeeded in crossing Hegewisch's line for the only score of the game. A short forward pass, Harrow to Cloiry. resulted in the aforementioned marker. The game started with Kast Chicago kicking to H gewiseh who returned the ball to the center of the field. With a series of well directed end runs and line bucks the He gewiseh eleven carried tho pigskin to Kast Chicago's twentylive yard line where the Gopher line held. Carlson, Kast Chicago's speedy half, ran twenty yards and Parrow hit the line for five yards. Madura was sent through tackle for six yards. On the next p'ay the Gopher's fumbled and it was Hegewisch's ball on their own forty yard line. The team then took urns carry the ball down the field. At
half time it was Hegewisrh s ball on tha Gophers 30 yard line. "With the exception of the first few minutes of the third quarter the second half was a 50-50 affair. Purill, Parrow, Madura, Cleary, Hudscn and Carlson represented the Gopher's chief offensive strength while Brown and Wickey played a good defensive game. For Hegewisch Freemeyer. at end, was easily his team's best performer. Next Sunday the Gophers play the Medil A. C. of Chicago at East Chicago.
NOTES OF THE GAME.

FORT WAY NT. IND., Nov. 12 Flaying a better game than they have put up at any time this season, the Fort JVayne Friars romped over the Bacine (Wis.) footballers and handed them their first defeat of the season here yesterday. The final score was 2S to o. As a result of their victory they claim the '. Independent title in Indiana. Racine has defeated Hammond, apparently the next strongest team in Indiana, decisively, and Hammond in turn has beaten both Wabash and Fine Village, two other contenders. However, the Friars stand willing to meet any of these teams. The Friars started scoring in the second quarter yesterday. w Men Dorlas
hurled a forward rass thirty yards to Klward, only two yards from the goal. He threw himself over tha line before tho Hacine men could stop him. By a series of successful passes and line plunges later in the same quarter Full Back Toung went over for the second touchdown. Two more touchdowns were piled up in the. third quarter. With splendid interference, Specht got through a broken field and dashed sixtyyards for the third marker and Capt. Porais, a former Notre Dame star, went the same route a feu- minutes later on a quarter back run. Al Forney of Indianapolis, center of the Friar team, suffered a broken nose at the outset of the game, but this did not stop hirn.
There isn't a rran on the Hammond team that participated in yesterdays gam" who doesn't deserve th utmost praise. After slowing tip in the second period, the line went back like mad in the second half. The result was that the Stock Yard birds were, for the first time this year, laid cld, ne and two at a time, and the water boy nearly inn his legs off. S.i many hurt football players you never saw, Maurice.

I. A FAY FT TF. INT., Nov. 12. Displaying a snappy, dashing offense, the Wabash A. A. football Team yesterday defeated the Pinne Village aggregation by a T to. 0 score at League Park. It was the second lime the teams had met this year the first game being won by Bine 'village. 2 to 0. It was the first time that Wnlmrh A. A. had been able to dr-fiat Fine Village since that team got onto the football map two years ago by a surprise defeat of the Wabash A. A. eleven in a game played at Wabash. Gil Falcon, former Fvanston 111North Fnds player, carried the ball over the Fine Village goal line. Falcon played a smashing game. tearing through for big gains at the times when his team needed the ground most. Fine
Village never threatened to score against the Wabash team yesterday. Wabash had but two other chances to score besides the time when Falcon tore through for his touchdown. Ked Milliner, F.ergeman and Checkeye played well on the offense. Fine Village's offense was lacking until VonAken. former Purdue star, entered the game, and tore off some nd runs. Big Kd Davis and Mulligan played a strong game for Fine Village in the line. The game yesteday was a professional football league contest. The league standing is Hammond. l.""0 per cent: Fine Village. 333 rpr crnt. ar.d Wabash A. A.. 333 per cent. Pine Village will play i amp Custer football team from Battle Creek. Mich., at I.afayetet. Nov. 17. Wabash A. A. will play Hammond at Wabash on that date.

The followers of the Ccrnell-Hambi-rgs filled the big stand at. the end of the. field and their conduct was excellent. Alough given slight opportunity to cheer after the .oecnd period, they proved themselves good losers. They left a good many hundreds of dollars in the pockets of Hammond fans who had the courage of their convictions.

; Maroon Faculty Must Be j Salted With Pro-Germans CHICAGO. Nov. 10. The FnlverMty of Chicago faculty was believed todav to have cost war charities at least Voi'V"1"'. This the amount expected to be derived from the Chicago-Michigan football game proposed for December 1. which was Voted down by the varsity pedagogues. At least five of the Western Conference colleges had officially sanctioned the same and others were expected to vote in its favor. The athletic boards, coaches, student bodies and alumni of both s.-hools had approved it not as a sporting event, but as n aid to war charities. Harry Tratt Judson, president of the local Institution, was not present at the faculty meeting. In fact, only a score of the 20 members were there. He aid the ruling met with his approval, however, and explained that inasmuch as the Conference had adopted a rule to close the season before Thanksgiving, lie saw no reason for Oh oago to viola t-" It. In place of the Gh ioago-Mirh iga n game the faculty voted to permit Ptacg field to be used by the officers' tea n;s of Camp Grant and Camp Custer on December 1.
