Chicago, Oct 16.-Footbel step
ped into q real mid-season stride
in the middle west today with
every western conference eleven
and teams from all the other more
important colleges scheduled to
play.
Eight Of tho Big Ten teams
clashed with each other, while two
met smaller institutions. Standing
out above all the other cantests,
however, we're those between Iowa
and Illinois at Urbana, and North
western and Wisconsin at Madison.
In other games Indiana was pitted
against Minnesota, Purdue faced
Ohio State, while Michigan played
the Michigan Aggies, and Chicago
had q comparatively easy foe in
wabash.
Expect Passing Duel
The fracas at Urbana was the
first conference game Of the sea-
son for Illinois, last years title
winner, but the second foe, Iowa,
which already had q victory over
Indiana. 1t was thought likely that
the game might develop into for
ward passing duel. both teams be-
ing strong in aerial attack.

The most important game in the
middle west outside the conference
was that between Nebraska and
Notre Dame. 1t was their fifth
clash, each TEN having been vic.
torious twice.

ence, Ames met Missouri, but the
