Indications now point to o. s. U. as
champions of Ohio football for this sea
son. But once have they been scored
against and that was last Saturday
when Case got a touchdown on fluke
and one place-kick. Their goal has not
been crossed in good straight football
and they have had things pretty much
their own way. The heaviest and the
fastest teams in the state have easily
gone down before the champions of last
year and they seem to have sure
thing on this seasons banner On
Saturday however they are to meet the
big team from Michigan and will have
the hardest fight of the season. After
the severe thrashing the latter receiv-
ed at the hands OF the boys from Iowa
on last Saturday, o. s. us chances
for victory are good. After that, the
lads from Ohio State have no game
until Thanksgiving, when they meet
the little team from Kenyon.
But unless the latter takes most
decided brace, o. S. U. will again have
an easy thing. The miserable showing
the Gambler boys made against Buch'
tel last Saturday may have been a
slump, but surely they did not play
championship ball. Their interference
was ragged, their defensive work was
poor. Not until the second half did
they show any of the work that has
won them their place in the champion
ship race On Saturday they are TO
play Marietta, the team that w. r..
u. easily defeated. Should they win,
thy would have clear title until the
final game in Columbus Should they
fail to score victory, complications
