The most interesting engage ment on the weeks schedule, botA as a battle and as it concerns the championship race, will be the traditional Wisconsin Minnesota game at Minneapolis. Neither has been defeated in conference competition and they appear as evenly matched as any pair in the league. Other strictly Big Ten contests will bring Illinois and Northwestern together at Evanston, Purdue will meet Chicagos hapless Maroons at Chicago, and Ohio State will meet Indiana, which has not been beaten, on the HoosierS’ field. A BOUT the only surprises registered “A last week we’re the sizes of scores.

Illinois green team should offer lit tie in the way of resistance Saturday, and unless Minnesota defeats Wisconsin this week, the Gophers will not rate as a real threat. Neither Indiana, in spite of its margin over Chicago nor Iowa appears to have what it will take to helt the Wildcats. Ohio will be favored to list Indiana among the defeated Saturday, and Chicago’s chances against Purdue are so small as to be invisible The Min nesota- Wisconsin game appears to be a first-class toss-up. The same applies TO Iowa’s game with George Washing ton. and Michigan, apparently in str;da. has the edge over Princeton, which it plays in the East.
