WESTERN CONFERENCE FIGHTS TODAY
Wisconsin-Ellin ois; Perdue- Ohio State; Michigan-Ma- rines: Chicago-Endiana- Badgers Weakened With Gerber Out of Lineup.

Chicago, Nov. 1o.-In the big me morial stadium in Urbana, two unde- featod Western Conference football eleveus will charge at each other to- day. one filled with confidence in- spircd by its football ace, "Rcd'' Grange, the other with grim deter imitation that disqualification of one of its stalwarts shall not bring dis organization and defeat. That strug- gie between Illinois and Wisconsin holds the center Of interest in Big Ten circles. with strong possibility that the game will be one of the his toric events of the 1923 season.
 The Badgers, minus the services of big Ed Gerber, their star tackle, who was declared a professional, will go into the game under a handicap. Bentson has been picked by Coach Ryan to fill the hole left by Gerber, and Wisconsin still has a line expected to test all the strength and strategy possessed by the Illini,
 A defeat for Illinois today would give the Badgers a chance to fight for the championship, when they meet the undcfcated Michigan eleven week hence, On the other hand, win for the Him would smooth the path

'BIG TEN PLANNING
 NO PROTEST RULES
Consider Not BlackliStins Player During Season

Chicago, Nov. 10.-When Western Conference athletic directors and coaches meet here Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, to draw up sport schedules for the next year, they will consider adop- ton of a rule to prevent the protest of a football player on the grounds of professionalism after Oct. 1 of any year. it was learned today.
 The disqualification of F.. c. Ger Der, star Wisconsin tackle, in the mid dle of the conference season, has raised the question whether in foot ball, as the track and baseball, the time of protest should not be limited. Some football coaches are said to be in favor of such d ruling.
 Michigan and Illinois will probably resume football relations next year, according to gossip among football enthusiasts of the two colleges. Last winter, when the schedules for this season were made up, it was learned that both Michigan and Illinois want ed to resume relations but could not agree on n game. Michigan wanted to open tho stadium at Urbana. but Illinois had promised this date to Chicago. and Yost and Zuppke could not reconcile other dates to fit their schedules.
 If Michigan should play Illinois in 1924 and also retain Iowa, it would probably have the hardest Big Ten schedule. as the games with Ohio State, Minnesota and Wisconsin are considered fixtures on Michigan's list Of annual games.

 Both elevens expect to be at their best in today's contest Harvard will boast an advantage in weight@and e&- perience on the line. and Princeton similar advantages in the backfield. new in the nature of off, fensive plays arc looked for from both teams.
