had not suffered conference uSlSd
The Maroons reached the peak OF
their perfection two weeks ago, wheh
they battled the University or I'M
nois to a 21-2l tie in the game that
turned the Illini away from what
previously had appeared as a chnch-
ed championship and which pointed
the way toward ultimate victory for
Chicago. After that effort, however.
Chicago could not keep up Its great
pace and was sorely put to it to de-
feat Northwestern. 80, a week ago,
and to hold the University of Wis
consin to a scoreless tie Saturday.
The smashing by Chicago spelled
doom for Illinois title hopes, how
ever, as the Illini fell an early victim
to Minnesota last week and were
able to defeat Ohio State only 10
Saturday.
That it had Slapped much of Mime
sofas strength to down Illinois was
evidenced Saturday, however. when
the Gophers were defeated, 1910, by
Vanderbilt, which had lost two games
to Southern Conference teams and
was tabled to be easy prev for the
school which had eliminated Illinois
and the great Harold Grange in the
big ten.
Con tinuing the season Of marked
reverses of predictions, Michigan sue
cumbed to Iowa 2-9. Saturday in a
tilt that would have given the win
ner a tie for conference glory had
Chicago been defeated. The Hawk
eye victory tied Illinois for second
place and sent Michigan to fourth.
Purdue, dedicating her new stadium
Saturday, defeated Indiana for fifth
place in the conference rating.
Minnesota, with one victory and two
defeats, landed In sixth place. Sew
enth place was a triple tie of Ohio
State, Indiana and Northwestern with
one won and three lost each. Wiscon-
sin failed to win a conference game,
although tying two.
Northwestern, out of the cellar for
the first time in three years, largely
through the playing of Ralph Baker,
sterling back, played the national
le-claiming Notre Dame eleven al
most to a standstill Saturday.
The South Bend. Ind, added a
Northwestern scalp to those Of Army.
Princeton, Georgia Tech, Nebraska
and Wisconsin by a margin Of 1876,
remaining the only big school eleven

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, November "a
The 20-to-20 tie game at Berkely
Saturday between California and
Stanford has left Stanford with the
chief claim to the Pacific Coast Con-
ference foot ball title, but the cham
pionship award is muddled over a
question of eligibility.
Stanford went into the game minus
the services of Norman Cleaveland,
a star half-back, whom the Stanford
authorities had barred on the ground
that he played a few minutes in
varsity game in 1921, and therefore
was appearing in his fourth year of
competition. Cleaveland had played
in the previous conference games
against Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
There was a question whether these
games would be forfeited on this oc-
casion.
Stanford athletic representatives
were quoted as expressing willing
ness to forfeit the games, in the in
terest Of the strict accord with the
rules, but indications are that the
decision will be left to the confer
ence as a whole.

Where Edith Cavell
Wcs Shot BY Germans

| wonder how many are aware of
the character of the monument which
marks the spot where Miss Edith
Cavell was shot, says London Eve
ming Standard writer.
1t is at the national rifle range-the
Tir National, as it is called-on the
outskirts of Brussels. 1t is long
one-storled building. Entering it you
find series of galleries with pent-
house roofs overlooking the ranges.
Five or six hundred yards away are
the grass-covered mounds of the rifle
butts.
Ii was on one of these rallied gal
leries that the German firing party
stood. Miss Cavell was placed on a
chair only few feet--about twelve
feet at the most-from the execution
ers. The bullets as they passed
through her then sped along the
ranges.
And the monument? On the spot
where the chair rested is slab of
white Sloue. III tiils stoue are Suiih
four brass disks, each about the size
of a penny. They project about a
quarter of an inch above the stone
and they mark the ends Of the four
