made in the first quarter. The Ath-
letics had punted to the Minnesota
goal line and the ball was put into
play 20 yards out. St Paul was pen

play is as fun of thrills as an egg is

PURDUE ELEVEN LAST
IN CONFERENCE RACE

With the playing OF Saturdays
games college conference gridiron
activities were transferred to the
Hot Stove circuit, lively after
season is promised, with Michigan
cutting into the arguments for the
first time in years. Fears, confined
mostly to college faculties. were that
the Wolverines would ruin the sea-
son with straight march to the goal
line. The opposite happened, and
after Michigan has been defeated in
the only conference game on its
scheduled there should be no trouble
for the Yostmen to get Big Ten"
games next year.
Inc football year wound up, not in
tie between two teams. as it was
feared by the early season prophets.
but with Ohio in undisputed possess
sion of the title. Michigan was the
only one which up to Saturday could
put IN claim. but it refused to do
so. Then came the defeat and the
consequent elimination of Michigan
as contender.
The game Saturday ran mainly 10
form except at Evanston, where
Northwestern furnished the unex-
pected by decisiyely defeating Michi-
gan in the latter's first conference
game since its return. The majority
looked for Minnesota victory over
Illinois, a Wisconsin triumph over
Chicago and defeat for Purdue by
Indiana Few figured that the Pur.
! pie would more than hold Michigan
TO close score, Instead Murphy
men outplayed the Wolverines al
every angle of the game.

Window Rox Gardens.

Now that potatoes are scarce every
bit Of available space is being used in
growing them. Already the women
of the nation have worked out q
scheme Of growing seed potatoes In
window boxes, thereby adding sew
eral dollars to the family income.
When the housewife prepares her POI
tatoes for the evening meal she cuts
a piece from the rose" end of the
potato off before peeling and plants it
in the sitting room window box, which
contains either leaf mold. coconut fiber
or sand. Each piece. says one potato
planter, should weigh not less than
one and half ounces. and the box
should be kept In the window Of a
cool-but not too cool-room until the
sprouts are from one-half to an inch
high Thus the housewife has sup
ply of seed potatoes, which are daily
increasing in value.
