Chicago, Nov. 1O.-Only two West
ern Conference football games are to
be decided tomorrow, but because OF
the results last Saturday what was
expected to be al ''off day in the
schedule will, instead, be highly i'm
portant toward developing the race
for the championship Of the Big
Nine Scarcely recovered from the
shock OF seeing both Wisconsin and
Minnesota beaten a week ago, follow
ers of the sport will turn their eyes
toward Evanston, Ill.,, and Columbus,
O., where Northwestern and Ohio
State, the only unbeaten teams in the
conference, are to continue their
struggles to finish at the top Of the
conference ladder.
Those whose interest IS not confin'
ed to the big Nine will watch also
NGtre Danes contest with South Da.
i0t;! and Michigan's struggle with
Cornell at Ithaca. 80 T."
Northwestern's eleven is to tackle
the University Of Iowa squad and
Ohio is to play Indiana, but critics
who had agreed earlier that Minneso-
ia and Wisconsin were practically
certain to fight it out fer the champi'
onship would venture no positive pre-
dictions as to the outcomes. They
figured that If the two, former favor.
ties could lose last Saturday the un.
beaten teams, could be beaten, per-
haps, tomorrow and few were hardy
enough to attempt to say what might
happen later if Iowa and Indiana up
set their opponents. . 3.
1t was certain, however, that Wis
consin, Minnesota and Illinois rooters
are hoping for just s&h results as
these would bring, Ohio and North
western back TO the standing of that
group. lowans, too, are anxious to see
their team and Indiana win, as it
would then be able to claim con-
ference record containing only one de-
feat, in common with five other elev-
ems.
Both Fear StaIeness.
Both Coach Murphy Of Northwest
ern and Wilce of Ohio State have
Deen holding back their charges bit
this week. The fear Of staleness has
been a shadow over both camps and,
as a consequence the first string men
have been nursed carefully. Neither
team can rely with confidence upon
its second string players.
Iowa Confident.
Iowa, with a rest from bruising con.
tests for two weeks. will face North
western with high hopes of victory.
Murphy's men, however, have been
duly warned Of the possibility of de-
feat and are prepared to fight off the
Hawkeyes with as much deterlnina-
tion as they withstood the charges
of Chicago and Indiana. Followers of
the Evanston eleven are banking
again on the gameness Of Capt. Pad
dy Driscoll and bis fellow players, a
quality that has been a marked char
acteristic Of Northwestern work this
season.

TWENTY-FIVE CENT CHECKERBOARD1s
RESPO VISIBLE FOR o s u SUCCESS

Ohio State, for the first time since
joining the western conference, is in
a position to win the Big Nine title.
This is due to Coach Jack Wilce,
former Wisconsin star, and Half.back
Harley. one of the finds of the grid
iron this fall.
Wilce has developed a puzzling at
tack this year, one which has fooled
every team Ohio has been called upon
to play. Illinois and Wisconsin fell
before Wilce's cleverness and even
the Haughton methods are employed
( by Wilmington at the Madison school
but couldn't stop the Buckeyes.
The secret of Wilce's strategy lies
in a common % cent checkerboard.
Night after night the Buckeye
coach and his men sit in a room at
the university with the checkerboard
using / men to a. side to represent
Ohio and the Opposing team next to
be played.
New plays are worked out and then
the men are confronted with scores
of possibilities by the coach and ask
ed to solve them instantly.
Wilce believes this develops quick
thinking in his men and declares that
"pinch" thinking has been RESPONSE.

induce Honus Wagner to accept the
management of the Pirates for next
season, according to men close to
the Pittsburg president
That Jimmie Callahan will leave
Pittsburg and. probably succeed Joe
Tinker as pilot OF the Cubs is an open
secret in Pittsburg, and although
there have been many conjecturess on
who would step into Callahan's shoes
here, those best informed declare
Wagner will get the lob if he will
accept it. They depend upon the an,
cient friendship of Wagner and Drey.

Wagner has said in the past that
he will not accept the Job. Only last

be able to give it the title Of "Spotless

In other communities North, South,
East and West. the Clean Up and
Paint Up period has always been a big
success. For that reason under the
present activity and growth, our town
should be able to show results that
will compare favorably with other
communities. The business men will
show an interest in the movement
and will lend support in any way pos.
sible to aid in the cleaning up. They
think the Clean Up and Paint Up
movement is a mighty good one, not
only to advertise. but to make the
town attractive for the visitor.

Once upon q time, two swords hung
on the wall of a real soldiers room.
One val a large sword and had been
in q real war. The other was a little
tin sword which the real soldier played
with when he was a little boy.
When he hung the big sword OF the
wall after he came home from the war.
he said: you are much larger than
this little fellow beside you, but you
have never killed Indians. and he
has"
Although he laughed when he said

great Importance, and 1t did not mind
in the least the size of the big sword
which was many times as large as 1t

and dark, and the only light in the
room was from the dying embers on
the hearth, the little sword said to the

many Indians that | cannot remember
how many"
II have been in battles, too" con

the enemy, and once a dog was a bear
and killed him, too"
How could a dog be a bear?" asked

little sword for the first time when 1t
was not asked a direct question.
Because the little boy said 1t was"
replied the little sword. And once a
cat was a tiger. and we went tiger
hunting, too"
How about the Indians?" asked the
big sword; were they real or play

Real, of course" answered the little
sword; Everything was real that we
did. The Indians wore long trousers
with feathers in the side of the legs
and a band Of long feathers sticking
up around their heads. You should
