    WRITER SAYS NOTRE DAME NOT WROUGHT UP BY PITT DEFEAT Marshal Oliphant, Buckeye quarterback and cousin of the great Elmer Oliphant of Purdue and Army fame, is another highly I’M derrated Ohio State back. One of the big mysteries of the / Big Ten season is why they won’t let jake Sullivan. Northwestern halfback, carry the ball little. He toted it four times for AT yards against Ohio State, twice for IL yards against Minnesota, and has gained every time he had chance. But for some reason he’s the forgotten man in the Northwestern backfield. The light Purdue line hasn’t had touchdown made on it this year. Five touchdowns have been made on the Boilermakers but all OF them were through the air. /. Capt. John Oehler, center, Howard Letsinger, guard, and Paul Moss, end, are the outstanding defensive performers in the Purdue line. Angel Brovelli, st. Mary’S star n Four members of the Indiana foot ball team are married. They are Spannuth, Opasik, Nylec and Tom Jones. Slip Madigan, st. Mary’s coach, says Southern CALI fornia’s line is the best the west has seen in long time. Minneapolis and ST. Paul will send 10000 rooters, to Madison for ! Saturdays Minnesota Wisconsin game. :. Nebraska has both bar rels ready for Pitts visit to Lin coin Saturday. If Captain Ma this is ready to play the Cornhusk- ers are likely to give them a busy afternoon. | First downs don’t mean thing in football statistics. Chicago made 10 to Purdue’s IA but lost, 37–⁠0. Princeton made 9 to Michigan’s and lost, 14–⁠7. Northwestern made II to MichiganS 4 and lost l4–⁠6.
