CHICAGO. Oct. 17.-Upsets for
this season jumped into a running
start. and II this pace is held through
out the remainder OF the autumn
there will be no need of a commits.
sion to stop betting. About the only
thing the gamblers will bet on Is that
the teams will play.
Michigan, with u team picked from
one Of it's best squads in recent years,
met too stiff opposition at Vanderbilt
and returned to Ann Arbor in
an unsatisfactory nothing to nothing
game. The Wolverine hopes for this
season were high. and although the
Vanderbilt game did not destroy
these hopes, it seriously dampened
them.
The Michigan eleven with such
men as Kirk. Muirhead, Goebel.
Uteritz, kipke, Roby and Cappon.
ana with men like Steger relegated to
the alternate or substitute bench, 1t
Is proper that the Wolverines should
have high hopes. and it is hard to
see how Vanderbilt stopped such an
outfit.
The second upset was the defeat
OF Illinois by Butler Pat Hayes
crew was known to be strong, but
| scarcely conceded a chance to win.
Coach Zuppke probably feels that the
dope he obtained on Iowa by
watching the Yale-Iowa contest was
pretty expensive, and now will bend
every effort to make 1t pay for itself
by a win over the last year champs
l would hate to be on the Illinois
squad this week. Zup will probably
| drive them to the limit in his effort
to develop a winner.
The Northwestern Chicago game
| was much closer than expected, and
the Maroons will have to improve a
| lot to be in a safe position for q win
over Purdue.
The Notre Dame Purdue game of
| fered a pleasant surprise to the
Boilermaker fans. Against Milliken
the Purdue team looked slovenlv md
weak. both extensively and defen
sively. Against Notre Dame the
Purdue defense was plpasingly
strong. The first half, which ended
I to 0, was an almost even affair
with Purdue gaining almost AS much
ground as Notre Dame, the kicking
o. Castner giving the Irish the edge.
In the second half Purdue wore
| down under the wide running, rush
| ing attack OF the fresh fleet, Irish
backs. and Notre Dame slipped over
two more scores. Crowley running
ten yards for the second marker OF
| the game, and Mails receiving beau
tifully executed pass from Logan.
| The features Of the game were the
defensive work of the Purdue tackles
and ends, the running back of kicks
by Everman and the ease with which
the Notre Dame backs executed the
pass on the dead run. The Irish team
looks light, but each man injected
into the game handled himself like 6
trained athlete. 1t was a pleasur,
to watch the South Bend team per
form.
The Iowa victory gives to us Of tn,
conference and the West a distinc
thrill, for again we have proven tina
the caliber Of our game is at leas
equal to that Of the East. Becaus,
Of its long established traditions anC
because of the defeats of Western
teams which have Travelled East II
the past, many fans have more OF
less accepted the East as being SUI
perior. However, they had not taker
into consideration the weakness o
many OF the Western teams which es
sayed the pilgrimage, and 1t Is com
forting now to have one Of the really
representative teams Of the West re
turn victorious.
