Ohio-North,Uestern Game
Holds Interest in the
Contests of Bic Ten

Chicago, Oct. 12.-With practice
games out of the way, football elevehs
of the "big ten" will face the first
severe tests of the season in contests

cry member of the Western confer
ence will get into action. Develop
ment has been rapid in almost all of
the camps, and with the shortage Of
material generally felt, some close bat
ties are expected.
The greatest interest is attached to
the Ohio tate-Northwestern game ut
Columbus, as it will be the first clash
between Big Ten teams this year, and
the loser will be eliminated from the
championship. These two elevens
fought it out for the Western confer
ence championship last fall, and Ohio
annexed the honors. The Buckeye
team is virtually as strong, if not
stronger, this year. Critics believe it
will be certain contender for the
title as "Chick" Harley, an all-Ameri-
can selection, is playing with the same
dash and speed which characterized
his work last fall.
Northwestern, on the contrary, has
been seriously weakened as result of
enlistments and injuries. Coach Fred
Murphy was forced to build his squad
around three or four veterans. AL
though the Purple team cleaned up on
Lake Forest rather easily last Satur-
day, Murphy is not optimistic concern.

which, in its two early season games,
has displayed high scoring power.
The clash between the University

the season. Vanderbilt usually has
developed a team which made strong
bid for championship honors of the
south.

Midshipman Hansen was in Bismarck
for brief visit last spring en- route

Since that time his parents have heard

he has advised them not to worry
should they fail to hear from him, as
the duty to which he is assigned may
keep him away from port two months

in the new national army
These men are now given their
chance. The war department, in an
nouncing it's plans for the second
camp, which opens August 81, empha
sizes the fact that previous military
experience is not requirement.
Even those men who have had such
an experience six or seven years ago
will have only very slight prefer,
ence. For it is pointed out that mill.
tary methods since that time have
undergone a radical change, that
training gained at that time is no
longer of special value. So the handi-
cap to the unframed man has been
removed.
1t is pointed out, also, that the men
who are particularly desired in this
new camp are those of the age OF
Is years and over Although there
has been considerable emphasis laid
on the needs for men of more mature
age, the war department does not
want to infer that the younger men
are not welcome In fact, quite the
contrary is the case. For there are
many very desirable commissions for
which the younger and men more
active, physically, can qualify more
successfully than those of greater
years, and. this is being given full
consideration.
