up to 600 pounds, the cruiser received
its death blow from a -pounder,
hurled from one of a squadron of six,
army Martin planes which proceeded to
the attack from Langley field, Va, late

Although failing to hit the target,
the bomb, as observed from one of the
naval vessels at the scene, exploded
with such terrific force on striking the
water few feet from the starboard
bow that the Frankfurt was literally
lifted several feet. As the vessel began
to settle gradually by the head, the end
was FASTENED by two more 600-pound
bombs placed close to the port bow by
another army plane. The cruiser disap-
peared 28 minutes after the fatal blow
In all rs bombs were launched at the
Frankfurt by naval and army aircraft,
which came S5 miles from Hampton

With Currie at right tackle another
stellar performer and consistent lines

ON Wet FIELDS
Games Today Will Decide
Final Outcome of Confer

. Chicago. Nov. 19.-On muddy grid
irons, the ten western conference
teams met today to decide final places
in the 1921 standing with prospects
that championship honors kill be
split between Ohio State and Iowa
university. These are the only unde-
feated teams and unless unexpected
strength is shown by their opponents,
should finish with clean states.
Ohio State meets Illinois at .Colum.
bus and Iowa plays Northwestern at
Chicago.
A tie for runner-up also is in pros
pect, Chicago and Michigan each hav-
ing lost n game to date. Michigan
ppear certain of victory today oyer
Minnesota but the Maroons have a
more difficult task against Wisconsin.
The Badgers, with only a tie score
against their record. would retain Sec
ond place in the event of a victory at
Chicago today.
Coaches at all the big ten schools
have taken especial are of the play
ing fields the past few days, but Slip
perry, soggy gridirons appear in
evfable. The advantage this condi-
ton will give to weight and expert
ence B more evident, perhaps, in the
Ohio State-Ill:nois contest than in the
other matches. Chicago and Wiscon-
sin lines are almost even as regards
avordupois. while Iowa and Michigan
are strong favorites under any condi-
tons, barring breaks of luck. Az
though Indiana has lost both confer
ence games while Purdue has won
one. h former are favorites in their
meeting today.
