Michigan Trounced.

Ohio kept its slate clean Saturday
by defeating Wisconsin 3 10 while
Illinois bagged a % to victory over
Michigan. The defeat was the most
crushing Michigan has sustained this
season, and the form displayed by
Illinois has convinced its followers
that the team will be the most dan
gerous foe OF Ohio will have faced
this season.
Wisconsin fought Ohio State to
standstill and conceded nothing 70
the Buckeyes except perhaps in the
kicking department The toe of
Chick" Harley. who booted a field
goal from the 20 yard line, was all
that saved the game for Ohio as the
Badgers had the championship con-
tenders on the defensive for fully
three-quarters Of the game.
Chicago Escapes Defeat.
Chicago realized that II barely es-
capped defeat at the hands of the
powerful Iowa eleven. The Hawk
eyes proved the toughest foe
the Maroons have faced The whistle
ending the game apparently saved
Chicago defeat as the Iowans had
the ball within eight inches Of the
Maroon goal and were all set for the
final charge.
Northwestern displayed better
fighting spirit than in any previous
games in downing Indiana, TO ..
1t was Northwestern first victory
in the conference race. With less
than two minutes left 10 play, the
Purple eleven obtained the ball in
midheId, crashed through Indiana
defenses to the 20 yard line, and
Daley booted a goal from placement,
giving Northwestern the three points
necessary TO win.
