  FOUR WESTERNERS ALL HAVE CHANCE Chicago However, Has Best Claim to Conference Crown ] Ky The Associated Press. Chicago, Nov. 19. - The unusual spectacle of four western conference. teams going into third final games buoyei by possibilities of at least joint claims for the championship has served to arouse mid-wcstcrn football interest to an unwonted height. Instead of next Saturday Witnessing ordinary season end crowds troopinG 10 Big Ten gridiron because Of the lure of the game it. self there will be the added incen- tive in at least three contests of hope of seeing a king crowned. The Chicago eleven, with the best chance 10 have the titlo, a victory over Wisconsin being the deciding step, is hard at work perfecting its DIunging attack 10 hurI against the Radger forward wall of veterans. The Maroons are not neglecting for ward passing, however, in their drills at Stagg field. ! Chicago will lose Gowdy. captain; Harry Thomas, brother of John, who was an AlI-American back; Pondelik, Barnes and Barto after the Wisconsin game. Their greatest desire will be to end their collegiate gridiron careers with Big Ten championship, the first for the Chi Cago team since 1913. A capacity crowd will fill Chica- Eo’s new municipal stadium, where Northwestern will offer opposition 10 Notre Dame’s national champion ship aspirations. With every avail , able seat engaged, only 2,o0Q stand ling room spaces will be offered be- fore the game. The Purple will have q toam keyed 10 high pitch and be moro confident of itself than at any time during the season as a result of the showing made in the !, 3–⁠0 game with Chicago. The Rock inemen may suffer from the effects of last weeks hard tilt with Nebras- ka, but q wealth of reserve material always is available at the South Bend institution. Passes may be 1rchigan’s best of fensivo against Iowa. The teams will play knowing that a victory for jeither and Chicago loss would mean the championship. Iowa, whose strong forward wall presents q likelihood of difficulty in gaining through if or skirting its Hanks, will present the results of two weeks of practice. 1 Illinois, not without hopes for the title, despite defeat last week hy Minnesota, will be forced 70 using Fullhack Earl Brittou, usually on the receiving end of the passes of liar . old ‘Rod’ Grange as guard against Ohio to replace Roy Miller cas- uaj. GraNgo cannot play because Of badly injured shoulder Roth Indiana and Purdue will spring special formations in their grudEe tilt at Lafayette, Secret practice at both camps will continue until kick off time. When Minnesota, in the lime)ight as tho conQueror Of Illinois, enter tains Vanderbilt at Nashville, Tenn. in the only midwest intorsectTonal fray. it will have one of the strong est teams in the conference to Y.- rade for its southern opponent ! Minnesota reached its great pre- season paper” strength only in the Illinois game after chances for con ference honors had hccn lost while lls regular players were rounding 10 form and the team play which crushed the IGni and Grange vas being developed.
