week.
Bethel is a full member of the con-
ference, but has not had a football
team for some time until this year;
By next season the Newtonites should
be able TO make a more creditable
showing in the conference.
Pittsburg, having a light team in
the field, has lost to Baker and to
College of Emporia, the first school
winning by points while the En-
porians took a two touchdown lead
with both goals. This would give the
dope to College of Emporia over
Baker. They do not meet this year.
Ottawa still has three defeats
checked against it, the schools turn
ing the trick being Washburn. Hays
and st. Mary's. It also lost a game to
Haskell Indians outside the confer
ence. The Baptists are rather light
this year, but are rather speedy.
Sterling has lost all three of its
games. 1t took Southwestern, Beth
any and Kansas Wesleyan to do the
trick.
On the other hand Drake has won
over Kansas by 6 points and over
Washington by "a points, so it looks
like the Bull Dogs should be able to
win from Ames and Grinnell, the only
conference game remaining on the
Drake schedule.
Missouri has beat both the Ames
and Grinnell elevens, so 1t looks like
after the overwhelming defeat of Mis-
souri, by the Huskers that Nebraska
is the outstanding team in the confer
ence. The real test of the Nebraska
eleven will come Saturday, when the
Huskers meet the Sooners at Norman.
The Sooners gave the Kansas Aggie a
royal surprise last week, being able
to tie the score, SO the outcome of the
game is somewhat in doubt, with the
odds favoring the Nebraskans.
Kansas and the Aggies may spring
surprises that would give them a win
over Nebraska, but it is not likely.
Kansas and the Aggies will clash in
the greatest gridiron battle in Kansas
on the Manhattan field October 2S.
The Aggies came out of the Sooner
game little worse for the wear, sew
eral men being injured. Included in
the list is Stark, one of the dependable
men in Aggievile. 1t is not likely that
he will start against Kansas. On the
other hand Kansas should be in good
shape for the game after the easy win
over Washburn.
Followers of the big Ten" have
settled down to watch the Keeling dope
bucket after the games of Saturday
and the fact that five teams still re-
main in the 1000 per cent class. Chi
cago. Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota all have won all games.
Probably the greatest game in the
Big Ten" for this week end is the
Chicago-Princeton game on the Mid
way.
The 10 to defeat of Ohio State by
the Michigan eleven was not alto
gether unexpected. but the score was
larger than was anticipated. 1t was
great blow to the Ohio school to
lose the first game in it's new $780,
900 stadium which was dedicated by
the Michigan game. 1t has been the
history of stadiums, however, that
games usually are lost on dedication
day. More than $4,000 fans witnessed
the trimming Ohio State got, but this
defeat gave to the Coach Yost aggre-
cation, a lot of injured men, some of
them in the hospital, which may
hamper future games for the Wolver-
ines.
The greatest surprise of the day was
the. Iowa-Illinois game, only a lone
safety giving Iowa the game after it
had trimmed Yale the week before,
and was picked as an easy winner in
the Illinois contest. other big Ten"
