the young woman was very beautiful:
and he was too much confused to be
capable OF anlysis. The corsage of the
gown, cut square and daringly deep,
displayed neck and shoulders white
as those of any woman Of any city.
Her figure gave lines had her costume
not aided. She was beautiful, yes.
And there was something more,
Rawn could not tell what. There was
some air of excitement. OF e~xaltatiou,
some sort Of fever about her, upon

Western Grid Championship Is Big
MuddIe-Eastern Is Clear.

Some doughty expert, after sum-
ming up the results of Saturdays
football games in the West, may have
the temerity to pick the champion
ship eleven of the region West of
the Allegheny mountains.
If he expects to have his opinion
received with respect he had better
go back to the bunk for another
crack at the pipe.
Distributed over the Western land
scape are students, graduates and
plain admirers of Chicago, Michigan,
Michigan Aggies, Notre Dame and
Nebraska, and each believes the team
he roots for is the one and only front
runner of the field
Chicago is undefeated. So far it
has a clear claim to the Conference
title, and Wisconsin is the only obsta-
Gle in the path of mailing the flag to
the mast. Illinois, Iowa, Purdue,
Northwestern and Minnesota have all
been vanquished, and in such a man
ner as to leave no doubt of the SUI
periority of the Maroons in their own
circle.
But these other teams, outside tk2
Conference, have also performed
some thrilling stunts. Michigan has :
effectually cleaned up Penn, SYRIA
cuse, Cornell and Vanderbilt, and, in
turn, has been walloped by Michigan
Aggies. The Wolverine Farmers have
also plowed Wisconsin under.
Nebraska holds a decision over
Minnesota, by larger score than the
one made by Chicago, and Notre
Dame has trimmed Penn State and
the Army.
All kinds of dope, angles are pre-
scented, and no matter which eleven
you champion you have a ground
work to build championship claims
on.
