Coach Redden of Knox stated yester-
day that Knox would beat Lake For
est without question Coach De Tray
refuses to discuss football, but he also
hopes for victory, il he can get the
entire squad In shape Redden's line
is working to perfection. De Tray,
who is coaching the backfeld. had his
men working together, when the facuI-
ty and old man ink combined to up-
set his plans. He hopes to have IT
in shape again when the whistle Is
blown for the Washington University
game two weeks from Saturday.

The Jolt given Illinois University's
championship aspirations must be
hard on the Zuppke rooters. Ohio
has never had a reputation In football
circles. and her work Saturday was a
revelation as well as a reverse to ILL.,
nois. The score has been explained
on theepremise that Zuppke was saving
his men for the Northwestern game
He will need them, it's certain.
Northwestern has one of the strong
est teams In her history. Luck was
all that saved Chicago week ago,
and luck cannot be depended upon to
save Illinois. The north shore Metho-
dists are out for blood this year. Too
long they feel, has their team been
an easy mark for the other teams in
the Big Nine, and they hope to change
things this year.
The defeat at the hands OF Iowa
may be taken in the same light as the
Ohio-Illinois U. score. Northwestern
was saving her men, although the
dope shows that Hawley has one OF
the strongest teams in the history OF
the Iowa City institution. Davis
work was feature.
~abash's victory over Washington
was distinct surprise Knox stock
in the big middle west blue ribbon
game has taken decided rise as a
result Washington seems to have
one man team. "Poge" Lewis is one
of the greatest players In the country
but he can't do It ALL
Washington's victory over Missouri
a week ago has discounted the
Missouri loss to Oklahoma. The
Tigers have won 50 many years, that
the victory OF the Sooners was a dis
tinct surprise to football fans. The
Sooners usually are easy for the
other western institutions.
Chicago's victory over Indiana was
expected, although Stages men did not
come I'D to expectations That close
score means some hard work for the
Maroons.
