    Northwestern S Tilt With Ohio State Big Ten Gauge Wisconsin–Iowu Tussle Also Apt to Give Line On Grid Title Race 6y tuc hSSoSldtcu ficoS- CHICAGO, Oct. 11-Another tip of on the title complexities the 1910 football season may hold for the Big Ten comes up tomorrow when Ohio State meets Northwest ern and Wisconsin goes to Iowa. . Ohio State already has one vic tory in its drive to second straight championship. But Purdue, even in losing to the Buckeyes in q 17-l4 thriller, demonstrated with its speed and passing that it still must be reckoned with. Now, Northwestern. with a vet eran backdeld and q rebuilt line, steps into the picture in q game alos certain to test the heavily manned Buckeyes. Not since 1886, the year they won their only undisputed crown, have the Wildcats scored against Ohio State. However, they are confident of correcting this dereliction at Evanston tomorrow, in view OF last weeks 400 rehearsal against SyracuSe. In the only other conference game, critics expects to obtain a more definite clue on Eddie An derson’s revised Iowa squad, the cinderella club of last year which opened 1910 play with 46–⁠0 conquest of South Dakota. Similarly. they expect to find an explanation to Wisconsin’s decisive 1919 triumph over Marquette last week. Minnesota is idle tomorrow, but other members are in action, most Of them bidding for intersectional prestige. Michigan goes to Harvard. ILL nois entertains Southern California. Indiana and Nebraska, which settled for ties in two previous meetings, try again at Lincoln. Purdue playS at MICHIGAN State
