Chicago. October 14.--Western con- ference football teams tomorrow will exchange thuds in series of games of championship importance, the re- suits of which will leave middle western gridiron followers fairly well informed as to what elevens are like ly to be found near the top when the season ends.
 Foremost among the contests is that between Illinois and Iowa at Iowa City. It will be the first con ference test for either eleven and both are looked on as championsh,p contenders.
 l Next in importance will be the game at Columbus, O.. between Ohio State. last years champions, and
 Minnesota.
 Minnesota will become a strong 1 possibility in the championship race 1 If it can beat Ohio by a comfortable score. M
 Wisconsin is expected to have an easy time with Northwestern which already has been overwhelmed by Chicago and Minnesota while Michi- | gan should prove too strong for the conference Michigan aggies in i the contest at Ann Arbor.

Navy Eleuen to
 Meet Princeton
 Gridders Toda)

New York, october 14.-Princeton's engagement with the Navy at An napolis and five intersectional games furnish the principal interest in the casts football programme tomorrow.
 Nayy's eleven has shown greater strength and dash than in 1920. when the Tigers scored two touchdowns and held the middies scoreless. The Princeton organization, while pos sessed of all It's 1920 qualities. has been slow of development this fail. The Annapolis squad. to the contrary has pointed for the Tigers, and Is ex- pected to reach the height of It's game in an effort to turn the tables.
 Tn one Of the intersectional strug- gles tomorrow Harvard will entertain Georgia university. The southerners are expected to play aggressively.
 Washington and Lee will line up against Rutgers. Both elevens are light and dependent upon speed and dash.
 Dartmouth's guest, Tennessee, is new to the east, but the rugged style of the Mountaineers may prove stumbling block to the Green.
 Wabash, one of the best of the small western college elevens, meets the Army at West Point.
 Cornell plays Western reserve at Ithaca,s Yale tackled Williams, and the Eli followers look for victory by a comfortable margin.
 Three of the contests bring to- gether teamA which battled to a tie last seson. Lehigh and Penn State. which played to 7-7 tie in 1920, will meet on the latter's field.
 Rhode Island and Maine, each of which made a touchdown in their 1920 game, clash again. Colgate and Susquehanna went scoreless against each other last year.
