  OHIO AN . MICHIGAN S T 70 N G Wolverines Step Into Lime light by 63 to 0 Victory Over |. u. BU Untted Press CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Michigan and Ohio State, by their showlngs Sat urday, will be serious contenders for the football championship of the Big Ten Conference. Michigans victory over Indiana had been expected. but nobody anticipated such an overwhelming score. as the Wolverines piled up. Any team that can beat another Confer ence team. SO to 0, has an attack that should carry it a long way toward the title. MarOons Held Even Ohio State lived up to the hopes of its followers by holding the heavier Chicago Maroons to a 3-to-3 tie. If the Buckeyes succeed in eliminating Iowa, they should find Michigan their biggest stumbling block in the path of a championship. Chicago’s Wanted driving attack proved useless against the scrappy Ohio line. The team that won the conference championship last year despite three tied games was forced to another tie in it’s 1925 opener. Butler Scares Illinois The other conference teams were engaged in trial games. They came through without a fatality. but Illinois was given a scare by Pat Pages Butler eleven, winning by the margin of 16 to 10. Red Grange came to life with some brilliant run ming but his line still looks weak and slow. Only three conference games are scheduled for this weekend. Illinois goes to Iowa City and unless Coach Zuppke can strengthen his line. he may again see the pathetic spectacle of one of the greatest back field men of all time stopped behind the line Of scrimmage. Michigan will face a strong team at Madison. Under George Little, graduate Of the Michigan school of coaching, Wisconsin has a team that many critics look to be among the first three finishers. Northwestern wildcats, apparent ly getting better each year since they obtained Glenn Thistlethwaite as their coach, meet Chicago in the annual city series and are expected to give the Maroons an even tough er battle than did Ohio State.
