WISCONSIN NEEDS VICTORY FOR TITLE Otherwise Iowa and Either Illinois or Ohio May Share Top HonorS. ~ HICAGO, November 2l.-Michigan and Minnesota have their little brown jug IS gauge OF ~ battle, Indiana and Purdue fight for an old oaken bucket” while Illinois and Ohio have their “Illibuck” as an emblem OF gridiron victory. “Illibuck.” wooden replica of turtie. will be among the victor’S SpoilS in the IllinoiS-Ohio game Saturday. Each team Stin has a possible chance for sharing conference honorS. or, in the event of defeats for Wisconsin and Iowa, of a clear-cut championship. Coach Bob zuppke has indicated that the Illinois lineup viii remain intact from the Chicago game. Peters, Walker Mills and Humbert, who piled up 20 points against Chicago. again will take the field. Zuppke’s problem has been TO develop a second set of reliable backs to aid in crashing Ohios powerful line Success of tackle plays may deter mine the outcome of the Minnesota Wisconsin game. which. If Wisconsin wins. will be the Big Tens champion ship battle. Both teams have powerful sets of tackles. and Wisconsin especially is drilling this week to meet Min nesota’s repertoire of on-and-off-tackle plays. IOwa’S Sole Title Chance. Iowa will face practically the same Michigan team that upset Illinois championship hopes. A victory over Michigan would be Iowa’s only hope of remaining in the title chase, and then only in the event of a Wisconsin defeat. Coach Burt IngwerSen is drilling his Iowa line strenuouSly this week. The thermometer is apt to decide NorthweStern’s starting lineup against Dartmouth in the interSectional clash at Dyche Stadium. If it’s dry Capt. Holmer, LeviSon, Bruder and Griffin probably will be Coach Eanley’S Selection but If the gridiron is wet Lee Han ley will replace Levison at quarterback and LeviSon will fall back to Griffin’s place at half back. NorthweStern’S aerial game has proved its most effective weapon, but Saturday against Dart mouth the Purple will be matched with another equally efficient passing eleven. Six Purdue seniors, who never have tasted defeat at the hands of Indiana, will be defending the “oaken bucket” for the last time when the two Hoosier schools meet at Lafayette. The game will be the thirty-flrst meeting of the two elevens, one of the oldest continuous series in the Big Ten. Purdue holds the edge in games won. Is to 10 while four have ended in ties.
