Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1920-12-02

It is rather impossible for any eleven
to be out In front every season. In
fact Minnesota had q disastrous season,
being beaten by both Indiana and North
western, two Of the colleges listed for
elimination by the Urbana report.
INDIANA SHOWS
STRONG RECORD.
Indiana won three Conference games,
and was only barely beaten In its fourth,
by Iowa. The Hawkeyes also gave Illi-
nois a terrific battle, and the Illini were
the title runners-up.
A few years back Illinois had trouble
winning anything other than baseball in
the Conference, and 1t was usually re-
gerded as a weakling, but in recent
years it always has been strong. That Is
just a sample of how athletics hHctuate,
and 1t is hardly probable that Illini au-
thorities would stand for any move to
drop other teams because of poor rec
ords.
Athletic Director kellogg OF Purdue
stated that the Conference never was in
better shape and that any rumor predict
ing a split In the ranks probably could
be traced to the pen of some sensational
college correspondent.
Already there Is move on toward the
patching Of differences between Chicago
and Northwestern, according to reports
direct from Chicago.
1t will be recalled that Chicago slated
home and home basketball games with
the Purple at recent meeting, and there
is every reason to believe the same VIII
be true of football. Coach Elmer Nc
Dewitt of Northwestern is anxious to ar
range the game and 1t is only reasonable
to believe Coach Stage feels the same
way.
ARE NATURAL
GRID RIVALS.
Chicago and Northwestern are natural
football rivals Back in the old days as
many as two games were played each
fall between the schools. 1t sometimes
happened that the eleven losing the first
game would como right back. and take
the second.
Chicago win be the scene OF numerous
Big Ten meetings Saturday, at which
time football. baseball, track, basketball
and wrestling and gymnaStic schedules
viii be arranged. The athletic officials
OF the various universities first will get
together and agree on games and dates
and then recommend their plans TO the
faculty directors, who also win gather
In Chicago Saturday. All schedules must
be approved by the faculty heads before
being officially adopted.
Football relations may also be resumed
between Wisconsin and Michigan. IL is
said. Coach John Richards Of the Badger
eleven was anxious to slate game with
the Wolverines last fall, but Director
Bartelme asserted Coach Yost was will
ing to play only four Conference games.
The Badgers and Wolverines are old
football rivals and a meeting would
arouse no end Of interest
Indications point to Ohio State hav-
ing s excellent home schedule as any
Big Ten eleven. Chicago and Illinois
are booked to meet the Buckeyes IN CO.
