Purcue probably will not lose another conference engagement, but that tie, should Michigan conquer Indiana, Chicago and Minnesota in its remain ing championship games, would leave the Wolverines in undisputed posses sion of the title. Michigan. apparently gaining momentum dealt Illinois 80 to 0 beat ing Saturday, and unless the Hoosiers, Maroons or Gophers develop uneXpected power, the championship will land in Ann Arbor. Even with two regular halfbacks, Stan Fay and Jack Heston. out with injuries, Michigan shifted its power around and swamped the Illini without difficulty. The Northwestern Purdue game was just another example of the Boilermakers unhappy inability to turn yardage into touchdowns. Purdue outgained the Wildcats, II first downs to four. Chicago’s 10 to 7 victory over In diana amounted to wild upset. The HoCsiers were rated as more powerful, but the Maroons snatched both their scoring opportunities and at the fin ish staged successful stand against a sensational Hoosier passing attack. Minnesota did about as expected in beating Iowa. 2l to 6, but the Haweyes had the consolation of scoring on conference opponent for the first time since 1929. Ohio State, huge Disappointment in early major games. held one of the casts best elevens, Pittsburgh, to a scoreless tie, while Wisconsin moved Coe down so easily, 80 to 0, tina: Coach Clarence Spears gave the Badgers a practice session after the game.
