 with but one more such clash on tap, that between Chicago and Dartmouth this afternoon, West crn conference teams are assured nothing worse than an even break,
 Michigan, Illinois and Ohio State have upheld the Big Ten banner successfully. Michigan, it vii. he recalled, ripped a sup poscdly strong Navy aggregation by the overwhelming count of 54 to c. It was one of the most de- .cisive beatings ever handed an eastern outfit by team from the middle west. Critics throughout the country are still talking about the Nosiian achievement,
 Illinois surprised an unbcatcn Penn eleven by downing the Red and Blue, 24 to .. the renowned "I}cl" Grange running rings around the foe in his first and only appearance in the Atlantic sea board sector.
 Ohio State, early in the season, dolcd out a 90 reverse to Co- lumbia. generally considered the best team developed at Morning side Heights since the days of Thorpe and Weekcs couple of decades back.
 The victories of Michigan and Illinois were especially noteworthy, in that they were made against two of the casts outstanding elevcns. Navy had tied Princeton, which last week trimmed Harvard, 36 to 0, and Penn had whipped em all in her section for the past two years, including really great Yale team among others.
 The two defeats suffered by Big Ten teams came to Chicago and Indiana. Chicago fell before Penn at Philadelphia, ' to Q, and h. diana succumbed 10 Syracuse, A. 10. Syracuse, like Penn, rates pretty close to the top ung in eastern circles.
 ! In points scored the Big Ton has decided advantage, the count reading S7 and 23. Each section was handed out a pair of shutouts, though Penn just escaped a similar fate, breaking into the figures by virtue of safety.
 Chicago will have a change 10 even up for its Penn beating when lit tackles Dartmouth. But judging from the way in which the Big Green team, boasting such great backs as Obcrlandcr and Lane, m0ppcd I'D a previously undcfcat- ed Cornell eleven, a StaEg victory looks remote, viewed from any dis stance or angle.
 True, tue Maroons may add one moro upset 10 an already lengthy list on the 1925 chart, but it isn't likely. Hence, 9he present season clashes between Big Ten and east Iern cl"vcns are ape to terminate with honors equal,
