ems of the Western Conference will

conference games.
With the exception Of Purdue, which
was downed by Illinois, IA to z, the
seven other Big Ten" teams playing
tomorrow are in line for the cham
pionship and defeat will eliminate the
losers from further championship CON
sideration. The games will bring to-
gether Chicago and Purdue at Chi
cago, Iowa and Illinois at Urbana,
Northwestern and Wisconsin at Evans
ton, and Indiana and Minnesota at
Indianapolis.
Whether Northwestern will have a
successful gridiron year will depend
on its game with Wisconsin. The
Badgers will enter the game with the
experience Of two hard contests, while
Northwestern has only been in action
once this season Coach Bachman has
made every eort to eradicate the glar-
ing faults Of his charges and believes
his machine will be hitting on all
cylinders.

cago will take the field against Purdue
at Marshall Field. It will be Chicago's
first conference game of the season.

mystery to their followers as they
were week ago, when they piled up
a 124 to Q score against the Great
Lakes Naval training station team.
Purdue will face Chicago with the
experience Of two games and the
team has been groomed to drive Chi
cagO out of the race if possible. The

football in the closing half.
Illinois tops the big Ten standing
