    3 | G T G N OUTLOOK CHAN GE S Michigan Fear Believed Shaken-0hio State and Purple Keep Coming. United Press star Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. An entirely new state of affairs characterized Western Conference football today as the result Of the Nays 100 trouncing Of Michigan, Saturday. The new angle centers around psychological effect that this defeat will have on the other teams Of the conference who meet the Wolverines yet this season. Heretofore the Michigan team has been thought invincible out this way. The Navy defeat has changed this condition considerably, and experts pointed out that If the under dog feeling is taken away from either Minnesota. Ohio State or Wis consin, another defeat may be listed on the wolverine record. All three of these teams are good teams and capable Of winning. May Weaken Wolverines While the defeat has served TO strengthen the other teams Of the Conference against Michigan, it was pointed out that it may be a, severe touted as a possible national cham pion and that might possibly have been playing over its head in the early season. At any rate Northwestern looms as a real contender for the champion ship. Represented by one of the strongest teams it has had in years, it is almost certain to go through The season undefeated because of a light schedule. One defeat of Mich igan probably would make champ ions out of the Wildcats, who added another victory Saturday by beating Indiana, 21–⁠0. Easy for Ohio Saturdays play saw another UNI defeated team go down when Mime apolis beat Wisconsin, 1910. Ohio State won from Chicago, 1870 with out undue exertion. The Buckeyes did little opening up in the game and several surprises are expected when Wilce’s team hooks up with Mich igan. Illinois seems to really have become a serious threat. The 80 win over Penn took another team out Of national championship running, but Illinois already has been defeated in the conference, so cannot be counted on in that respect. The otheT two conference teams, Iowa and Purdue. won from weak opponents by easy margins, the for mer beating Carol College and the latter trouncing Indiana State Normal.
