Although Wisconsin has been elimi-

the Gophers hard battle.

Ohio State should experience no diff
fculty in disposing of the Hoosiers.
Northwestern and Purdue meet in
another conference game at Lafayette,
but both elevens have been defeated
this year. Northwestern seems to have
the edge.
The Michigan Kalamazoo game at
Ann Arbor is generally looked upon as
a mere workout for the Wolverines in
preparation for next Saturdays clash
with Cornell. Michigan narrowly es-
capped defeat at the hands of two other
small state teams-Detroit and western
state normal-this year and Kalama-
zoo is rated but little below those
elevens.
