WESTERN ELEVENS
CLOSE SATURDAY
Ohio State and Illinois Con-
test Attracts Much At
tenti0n.

CHICAGO. Nov. 20. - Western
conference football will reach its
climax Saturday. There are three
games of class to top off one of the
widest seasons the conference has
experienced.
Ohio State will fight TO retain her
record OF no games lost. 1t will
be a fight, too since her opponent,
Illinois, has shown the class in late
games to entitle her to a fling at a
championship. Illinois has been
beaten but that was early in the
season and by close score.
Looks Like Illinois.
In view Of Ohio's slender win from
Wisconsin, there will be no great
surprise If the Illini are able TO top
pie the Buckeyes. In any event il
Will be a scrap.
Minnesota, fighting on Ferry Field
at Ann Arbor, Will attempt TO break
into Michigan's long series of vic
tories over the Gophers At Chi
CaSO there Will be a tussle between
Wisconsin and Chicago with the
dope none too kind to either squad.
In event Ohio wins from Illinois the
championship will be decided def
initely. With an Illinois win. there
would be a fine scramble. with the
Illini favored for the title because
of her more numerous championship
games. The standing today was:

THE GRASSY.

There is a great deal of argument
among players as to the importance
Of brassy play The idea is. Of
course, that since the use Of rubber
cored balls gives so much greater
distance than was possible in the
days when gutta balls were used, the
green can be reached on the second
shot with iron. There is consider
able truth i'm this argument as ap-
piled 70 first class players. but I be-
lieve that the great majority OF golf
ers can not consistently get the ne
cessary distance TO make the green
in two without the aid OF the brassy.
Therefore, I personally feel that no
golfer can afford 10 neglect brassy
play. Every club in a golfers bag
has a reason for being there. and
brassy play can not be ignored by a
player who aspires TO fine golf More
lover there is a lot Of satisfaction In
a good brassy shot. II is one Of the
real pleasures OF the game.
The principal difference between
the brassy and the driver lies in the
pitch or loft OF the face. The face
OF a driver is almost perpendicular.
while the face of a brassy slants
backward. This gives the brassy a
tendency 20 lift the ball much mNe
than can be done with a driver. In
fact, the pitch or loft in the face
gives to a brassy lofting power just
as tee provides the same quality
In play with the driver.
The stance for the brassy is the
same AS that used in driving, as ex-
planned in previous article A
brassy requires a little sitter handle
and a brass plate or sole. as It is

Groomed for the hardest game on

at 1880 o'clock this morning. where

There is no gainsaying that Pur-

were to be won on the straight line

the measure Of the Gold and Blue
eleven. But a straight rushing
power is winning no games this au-
tumn. The crashing back who hurls
through the line helps towards the
general end. but the open game is
what counts most in scoring the
points

SENATORS BEAT MACKMEN

Larry Lajoie Played Only One

year the club won a and lost 90 games,
finishing fourth with percentage of
.544. The team hit .2sI and ficlded for
.93G.
An odd feature of the first game here
with Washington is that this was the
only game that Lajoie took part in for
the Athletics. for after playing eight
innings Connie Mack was handed tel

play with the Athletics.

game, did an iron man stunt by
