WINNERS IN BIG
 TEN ARE DOUBTFUL
Battle for Supremacy in Western
 Circles Barely Under Way

Chicago, Oct. 25 Pl-The race for football supremacy in the Big Ten bailiwick is barely under way. but to some observers 1t is about all over but the shouting.
 Some prophets see only Michigan in the writing on the wall, but oth CTS are keeping a weather eye on the cloud of dust Ohio State is kicking up, and say it won't be over until these leading contenders face each other for the ultimate test on Nov. 13.
 Michigan, last years conference victor, has an impressive start with victories over Minnesota and Illi- nois, while Ohio's decisive defeat of Iowa, has made it the favorite con- temporary of the Wolverines.
 Although these two have decid- cd edge in the running, three other conference teams still are among the possibilities. including North western. Wisconsin and Purdue Plenty of fans arc whooping 1t up for the Boilermallers, who have demonstrated their worth on two conference football battles, holding Wisconsin to a scoreless tie a week ago and then coming to Chicago to civ4 the Maroons drubbing the last weekend.
 For the last two seasons the Boil crmakers have just missed in num- her of games against more powerful opponents, and they have earned everything that has come 10 them.
 Those favorine the chances of Michigan, however, believe the team has so much ability that it Is going to be a difficult combination for anyone to beat. The line is consid- cred outstanding in the conference field. and the backf1eld with the flashy passing of Friedman as po- tent weapon, is considered of cham pionship class.
 Next Saturday Michigan takes a day off from conference territory, travelling to Annapolis for try against the Navy. Ohio State meets Chicago. Wisconsin clashes with Minnesota, while Northwestern has q decided edge in its contest with Indiana, twice defeated. Purdue also has a conference game, with h. diana State Normal.

RAW AGAIN WIPES GAME
 OFF THE FOOTBALL MAP
Submarine Base Eleven Will Probably Show Here Next Sunday-Authentic Information Says That Hart ford Blues and All-New Britain Will Play Two Games This Year-Barnikow Situation Will Prob
 ably Be Ironed Out Very Soon-No Definite Plans.

Rain, for the third consecutive Sunday. baked the chances of the management of the All-New Britain football team to stage a game yes terday when the United States Sub Twas scheduled to oppose the locals at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park. All morning the weather threatened to break up the days sport program but Manager Ed. Daley held to the tenet that the game would be played unless it poured. To make a long story short, it poured, although the heavens waited until shortly after o'clock before turning on the sprinkler. Both teams were at the field in uni form, the New London outfit getting away to a start from the Whaling City at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. agers agreed to call off the game and it will be played next Sunday in this city providing that the man. ager of the Suh-Base team is able to arrange matters so that his club can come to this city. About 200 fans were at the field awaiting the kickoff but they were only slightly disappointed when it was found that the game was not to be played.
 Information, though not official or definite, which is considered as com ing from an authentic source. leads us to believe that the Hartford .Plues and the All-New Britain foot ball team will play two games this season. Up to the present time. the question of whether the two teams would play or not has been very much in the air. The information reaching this office, however, is to the effect that all the difficulties which have arisen between the man agements of the two teams will be removed within the next few days and discussions will take place re- garding the possibility of the two teams meeting.
 One obstacle in the way of the clashes is the fact that Barnikow is now playing with All-New Britain atfer having jumped the Hartford eleven. According to our informant, this can be cleared up so that Barney" will play in the game. Other arguments will probably be forgotten or ironcd out so that the two teams will meet on an equal and friendly basis, 1t is said,
 The games will be played on Sat urday and Sunday. This does not necessarily mean that the teams will meet each other on successive days. On the contrary, the schedule Of the Hartford Blues in the National league Is such that only Saturday and one Sunday are open.
 There isn't q thing definite 10 an- nounce with regard to this matter. but according to the dope. the first same is liable to be played within the next couple of weeks. Both teams need these games.

STEAM BLAST JARS
STATE-WAR BUILDING
Four Workmen Escape Without
Serious Injury-Few EN-
ployes in Structure.

The State, War and Navy Building
was Jared by an explosion today
which might have created a near
panic had it not happened at $50
when few of the office force were in
the building.
A blowout occurred in a new pipe
connection when the steam was
turned on in the sub-basement. Rooms
nearby were filled with hot vapor.
There were four workmen In the
room where the break occurred. All
escaped into the outside court and
corridors without serious injuries, but
got a bad drenching. One of them
received several scratches in jumping
through a closed window. Another
fell down and injured his wrist. Both
were treated at a nearby dispensary.
That there was no further damage
is due to the quick action of the
engineer in turning off the steam.
