 BIGGEST 
BY WALTER ECkERSALL
 All.American Star

In 1920, Ohio State won the western conference football championship. The Buckeyes then were invited to meet California. Pacific coast champion. in tho athletic feature Of the Tourna- mcnt Of Roses carnival at Pasadena on New Years day, 1921. Ohio ac- cepted and the middle west expected an easy victory.
 Such however. was not tho case. Tt was only insthp carly stages Of the contest thatsthe western conference champion showed any signs Of being the equal of the coast eleven and if was a little later in the game that the greatest forward pass play I ever saw was executed.
 California had the ball in midfeld. An end sweeping run was called. The ball was passed to the halfback on direct pass. Brick Muller, the great end. followed closely. Before the play started Quarterback Char ley Erb hid behind one Of the tackles and as the oval was snapped started 10 sprint down the field.
 Muller followed the haifback with the ball very closely As the de- fcnse rushed in to tackle tho half back, the latter passed the ball backward to Muller and then block cd the tackler. Muller then stepped back few yards and hurled She ball 70 yards down the field to Erb. who scampered over tho goal linc for q touchdown. It was a great play. one which completely took Ohio State off its feet. California won the game. 2s to ..
 That play was unqurstiouabiv the turning point in tho game. Y was the most remarkable pass I havc ever seen. never expect to sec an- other like it. It killed off any conf dence Ohio State may have had in Its ability to wiE. The rest of the game was easy for California.

Minnesota and Michigan Game
 Today Also a Thriller

Chicago. Nov. 24. = The western conference football season will end today with interest at high pitch of enthusiasm victories and losses throughout the fall having moved gradually, as if directed by an omnip- otent sense of the dramatic, towards a grand climax in which three un- defeated teams will battle for first honors.
 For one of m--Minnesota-to win two upsets would be required. a victory over Michigan by that team, and also a victory by the thrice de- feated Ohio State team over the Uni versity of Illinois. winner of four con- secutive conference games.
 Outcome Uncertain
 In the one instances bearish reports emanating from the Michigan strong hold at Ann Arbor have prepared Wolverine supporters for a debaee. Injuries to several stars are regarded as giving the greatly improved Gophers an excellent opportunity to win. In the other there is no pre- diction Of an Illinois. Iowa. and a victory over Ohio State, provided the one-tied Minnesota team defeats Michigan. would give the Illinois un- disputed possession of championship honors. Should Michigan win along with Illinois, the two, jointly would claim first honors.
 The Minnesota Michigan game is the days most interesting offering in con- ference territory.
 Syracuse-Nebr
 To the west, the Syracuse-N ebraska game at Lincoln will furnish the gridiron's greatest intersectional spectacle. Syracuse is regarded as ono Of the strongest eastern elevcns, and the corn- n-huskers are potential champions of sthc Missouri valley conference. The Nebraska team roundcd to Slowly. striking its best form n fortnight ago when 1t trounced the previously undefeated Notro Dame eleven.

Wisconsin, after losing 10 Michigan last week, is ready. to risk everything in an attempt to beat Chi cago. which rules slight tayorite. The Badgars have terrific and speedy charging power that may upset the Chicago lineup. however

LONDON, August 4.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-It is not intended to take any legislative measures to keep works of art, famous books a nd pictures in this county, Sir w. Joyn- son Hicks, financial secretary to the treasury, told a questioner in the House of Commons recently.

The secretary said the ques- tion had been considered by the trus- tees of the National Gallery, who ad- vised the government against any such legislation.
