Despite the admitted strength of Iowa Staet, Bob zuppke’S Illinois eleven was generally picked to win by at least two touchdowns. The Illini we’re fortunate to get a 1912 tie. Purdue, after it’s 1910 victory over Harvard, was favored to beat Chi cago but went down to defeat by a one-point margin, 7–⁠6. The experts we’re about equally divided between Ohio State and Northwestern, the former probably being slight favorite, yet North western showed a rather decided SUI periority, to win, 1913.
