  GRANGE AND co. ARE EASY WINNERS Romp Away With s6 to Q Vic. tory Over Iowa Chicago. Nov. 3.-Illinois contin- ued to blow ahead Saturday towards the western conference football championship. “Red” Grange. the most spectacular backfield man the 1924 season has produced, and his running mates got the “breaks” of the game and easily romped over the strong Iowa eleven by a score of 36 to 0. After the slashing victory the con- sensus of Big Ton opinion was that the Illinois eleven was headed for m undlsputed claim to the title, despite schedule which pits them against Chicago here Saturday, Minnesota a week later, and Ohio State a fort night hence.

The days play resulted in North western registering conference game in the “won” column for the first time in two years. The Purple’s victory was over the Indiana eleven by score of r to :. Sterling work by Ralph Baker, the leading scorer of the conference, contributed greatly to Northwest ern’s victory. Michigan continued to show re- covery from the overwhelming de- feat administered by Illinois, and took Minnesota into camp by a 13 to 0 score.
