disaster and the squad has come out oi
| it. in great shape. The champs looked
good in their last games
The Butler-De Pauw contest here Satur-

no doubt will put up one Of their good
! exhibitions against the Old Gold team.
The contest promises to be thriller.

Illinois cannot be considered as dan
gerous in the Conference net race now
since Walquist is out Of 1t as one of the
gridders mixed up in the Carlinville-
TaylOrville affair. 1t means clearer sail
ing for Minnesota as two games with the
Suckers remain to be played. AS the
schedule now stands il looks as though
Indiana Iowa or Wisconsin have the
best chance to step the Gophers. The
present Big Ten leaders. however, have
defeated all Of these teams once.
Although an athletic cleanup is not
amiss, the motives actuating some of the

are you'll need every victory you can
