Chicago, Oct. S.-fP1-The making
and breaking Of Big Ten football
championship aspirants was to- start
on two gridirons today for the 1927
season.
While other members of the con-
ference are busily engaged in up
holding the Big Ten prestige in in
tersectional and neighboring con-
tests, two Big Ten games drew prin-
cipal interest-1ndiana at Chicago
and Ohio State at Iowa.
Although Ohio States showing
last Saturday stamped it as a po-
tential threat in the conference
scramble, the Buckeyes were primed
for hard fight with their annual
nemesis, Iowa, at Iowa City. Coach
1ngwerson of the Hawkeyes was wor.
ried over the punting duel that in
variably starts Ohio States assault
but his squad was unusually conf
dent. Both elevens were in excellent
shape.

since 1926.
With a team comprised Of letter
men, shifty, fast and ready to snatch
opportune breaks, Purdue faced
Harvard at Cambridge. Their ace

lineup through injury.
Another intersectional affair was
Northwestern's game at Evanston
with the University of Utah. The

BETTY NUTHALL
SAYS j. s GIRL
IS UNBEATABLE
Helen Wills Greater Force
Than Suzanne Lenglen Ever
Was, She Says
CALLS GAME GLORIOUS
As Match Player and When
up Against IT, Californian
Is Supreme

Wimbledon, England, Oct. 8.-(P-
Helen Wills today absolutely un-
beatable, says Miss Betty Nuthall,
the British tennis prodigy, in the
Sunday Pictorial.
"Miss Wills is a greater force
than Mile. Suzanne Lenglen ever
was" she AYERS in her article:
"What / think of Helen Wills"
Miss Nuthall says:
"a sportswoman from the top of
her classic head to the tips of her
toes, Helen Wills, the lady lawn
tennis champion of the world, has,
/ think, never been appreciated as
she deserves to be in this country.
perhaps it was because she fol-
lowed so closely on the heels of Su-
zanne, who held the public imagin-
alton for so many years. Suzanne
was always springing surprises on
us. She was always, in her own
amazing way, picturesque.
She Is Picturesque
Helen is exactly the opposite
i'm her own way. And it is way
which /, for one, admire and desire
most to emulate.
at was a great day for me when
l was privileged to play against
her in America. 1t will be a great
CIR day, the greatest day Of my life,
if ever we shake hands over the net
and ! have won. Yes, l know I am
flying high. 1t is Helen's glorious
game that inspires me to do so.
II really think Miss Wills is the
hardest woman in the world to
beat. One of the reasons is, an,
sure, that she does not seem to be
hard to beat when you watch her
playing-somebody else. She seems
SO slow and deliberate, almost to
an irritating extent. But that slow
deliberation is not reflected in her
shots when they come over. Lack
ing some Of the deadly accuracy of
Suzanne, she is the hardest hitter
of all thu women players, and that
devastating cross-court drive OF
hers has to be faced to be believed
Miss Nuthall writes a hundred
words about Miss Wills 'pokel
face" then goes on to say:
She Is Unbeatable
"How will she be beaten, If ever
she is beaten before she retires
Ny own opinion is that, as a match
player, and particularly when she j:
up against it, she is greater
force than Suzanne ever was. Al
the moment she is, on her day, alb.
solutely and entirely unbeatable
How is that to be overcome?
Il hope I shall not be thought
presumptuous in making the sug.
gestion. Helen will be beaten when
someone learns to take the light.
ming shot of hers.
Zone thing is sure. If Helen does
go down, she will do so with just
as charming a grace, just as great
sportsmanship, as she wins, fol
she is really great-hearted play

Oklahoma, Gophers
Will Battle Today
on Northrup Field

Minneapolis, Oct. g. R) -. The
second practice game of the season
for Minnesota with the Oklahoma
Aggies here today found the Goph-
ers handicapped by the injury Of
Captain Herb Joesting. He has a
bruised leg, suffered in the North
Dakota. game a week ago.
All the other Minnesota regulars
were fit and the Oklahomans were
in good condition, with one excep-
ton, after nearly a weeks workout

the visitors, wrenched his back.

was nursing wrcnched side,
charged in at the ball, stumbled, and
failed to pick it up. Ruth then
flied to Wright. Gehrig drove both
runners home with a long triple
which he thought was home run.
He was mistaken and was out at
the plate.
Tightens in the Pinches
From the first to- the seventh,
Meadows went about his task in
most businessIike manner, finding
himself threatened in only two inn
ings. A pass and an error bobbed
up to- annoy him in the fourth, and
double by Lazzeri in the sixth. but
he was able to bear down, striking
out batsman in the pinch each
time.
Meadows fine pitching, however,
was being wasted as his mates were
failing him at bat, not scoring
hit until it was too late to cause
excitement from q Pirate stand
point.
Came the seventh, when Meadows
paved the way for the six runs the
Yankees were glad to get but did
not need. Lazzeri started the ball
rolling with a singing single. Dugan
hunted to Meadows, who threw to
second. The ball reached the base
behind the flying Tony.
With two on and only two runs
in hand, Manager Higgins called
on the reserves and sent Cedric
burst in to bat for Jack Grabowski.
burst rolled to Rhyme. Pennock
also rolled to Rhyme and the toss to
the plate was too late to catch Lag
zeri. If Dugan had been retired at
first this would have been three out
at first.
Cvengros Called In
The gates were now open and
Meadows was soon out. Coombs
singled and koenig doubled, Dugan
and Pennock running home and leav-
ing two on bases. Mike Cvengros
was summoned for the second time
in two days to attempt the rescue
work and get his world series thrills
at first hand. The little southpaw
found less serious situation on its
face than he met Thursday when he
relieved Aldridge. Then the bases
were full. Yesterday he found only
two base runners awaiting him.
Babe Ruth was at bat, but not for
long. The home run hitter crashed
into one of Cvengros' curves and
there was no doubt, as bat met ball,
that ne big Babe had driven out his
first home run of the 1927 world
series. The ball left the bat label
ed ''home rum" 1t came to rest in
the deep recesses of the right field
bleachers. Cvengros was not dis
mayed for he has seen Ruth hit
home runs before. He settled down
to the job of making the best of a
bad situation and forced both Gehrig
and Meusel to miss third strikes.

Babcock's Sprint Sensational
The most sensational moment of
the game came early in the first
quarter when Babcock took Bis
inarck punt on his 35-yard line and
ran for q touchdown. Miller scored
the extra point on a line play. Later
in the quarter, Minot scored again
when penalty put Bismarck on its
vineyard line. Mackenroth crashed
through and Thorson kicked goal.
Babcock scored again in the second
quarter when he skirtcd end from
the 20-yard line and Miller made the
extra point. In the third quarter
Miller scored a touchdown on a
line plunge early in the third quar-
ter, but the try for point failed as
Mackenroth's kick was blocked.
A flock Of passes were unleashed
by Bismarck in the last period and
several of them Melted substantial
gains. Miller, Thorson and Mack
enth were chief ground-gainers for
Minot and all showed tremendous
drive and fight. Babcock's end runs
were another feature of the game.
dollhouse was the best ground gain
er for Bismarck.
The game proved to the satisfac-
ton of local fans that Minot is sure
to be in the running for the unoffi-
cial football championship of the
state. Coach Fred Prusha's men
played an outstanding game and
worked smoothly. They have the
driving power which must assure
them careful consideration when the
unofficial title-winner Of the state
is picked.
The strong wind played strange
tricks with the ball during the first
half, as one of O'Hare's kicks from
the 40-yard line showed. The wind
carried the ball back to the 2O-yard
line and from there Minot, in several
plays, went through to score.
Fay Brown received the Minot
kick on the 20 yard line and re-
turned it to the 35-yard line. Loft
house went through for six yards
O'Hare made five yards for first
down. dollhouse lost yard or
an attempted line smash. O'Hare
made two yards. dollhouse took
the ball for another two yards, to
the 50-yard line. O'Hare's kick went
outside on the 20-yard line. Miller
returned the ball O the 32-yard
mark. Babcock made three yards,
Minot was penalized five yards fol-
being offside.
