    WOLVERINES HAVE WON FIVE STRAIGHT BIG TEN CONTESTS Purdue Second With Four VIC tories and One Tied Game This Season MINNESOTA is ELIMINATED Cophers Are Unexpected Vic Tins of Improved Wiscon- sin Saturday Chicago, Nov. 14.-(Pe-Michigari Monday led the Big Ten football race into it’s final week, seeking to estabfish its right to the first undisputed conference championship since Purdue won by itself in 1929. The Wolverines, victorious in five straight Big Ten engagements and two outside the league, face Mime sofa in the highlight of the final days entertainment, and the least that can be expected is a terrific battle. Purdue, breathing right down the back of Michigan’s neck, meets its Hoosier rival, Indiana, and with it’s record of four triumphs and tie, has a chance of overhauling Michigan. All this, of course, depends on Mime sofa victory over Michigan, and a Purdue triumph over Indiana. Wisconsin. in third place with three victories, tic and one reverse. meets Chicago. Illinois, rapidly hauling it. self back to its former respectable position in the Big Ten, tackles Ohio State. In the other game, North western, minus its leader and great defensive player, Pug Rentner, takes on Iowa at Evanston. Minnesota’s somewhat unexpected defeat by Wisconsin by a 20 to 13 score at Madison Saturday leaves the Gophers as the underdog against the hardy Michigan machine. There, are, however, other things to consider. The famous little brown Jug will be at stake, and Minnesota will be primed to the neck for the Wolverines. Purdue, which overcame a greatly improved Iowa team, ID to 0, ranks an diversified favorite against Indiana. The Hoosiers, however, have been in the habit of cutting loose with one upset season, and since they haven’t yet produced it this year, probably will give the Boilermakers a rousing afternoon. Wisconsin, successful far beyond the most optimistic Badger hopes, should defeat Chicago, al though the Maroons made Michigan earn it’s IL to victory Saturday. Northwestern, even without Rent ner, rates the edge over Iowa, but their losing battle against Notre Dame may have taken enough out of the Wildcats to give the Hawkeyes an even chance. Ohio State, victorious over Pennsylvania, 10 to 0, will be favored over Illinois, which demon strated it will be tough by whipping Indiana, 10 to 6, in another upset.
