BY PAUL X. NICHOLSON,

CHICAGO, November 23.-With four
teams fighting for a chance to win the
championship. the last act of the Big
Ten foot ball season promises to be sur
charged with plenty of master -minding
tomorrow.
The duel of wits between Coach Bob
Auppke OF Illinois and Coach Jack
vince OF Ohio State at Champaign al
ways has been and probably will be the
greatest OF all. 1t will be the last time
the crafty Wilce directs an Ohio State
e!eVen, and he intends to show his old
IlVaI few foot ball tricks. With a de-
IeaC 'ot Wisconsin by Minnesota and
victory oy Michigan over Iowa. the Illi-
IlolS-Onlo State game would decide the
Championship. ''''
Coach Gloomy Glen" Thistlethwaite

on Minnesota at the start if he can.
Inc minnesota line. too, is hard bar

AT Michigan it will be young Coach
Burt Ingwersen of Iowa against Coach
Tad Wieman and Fielding Hurry In"
Yost Defeat for Wisconsin and a tic
game between Illinois and Ohio would
give Iowa the crown.
Two disciples of the forward mass
Jess HaWley of Dartmouth and Dick
Hanley of Northwestern, will be the on
posing Strategists at Evanston. Neither
team has played any of the others on
ponents this season, and the result an
pears a toSs-up. It is the only inter

At Lafayette. Ind. where Indiana and
Purdue meet in their traditional contest.
1T will be Coach Pat Pace of the
HooSierS, one of the craftiest of grid
iron mentors. against Jimmie Phelan
Of the Boilermarkers. Here again the
result is regarded as a toss-up.
The heavy training grind was over
today. and the last invasion of the sea-
son was on Minnesota was at Madi-
son, confident of taking the measure of
the Badgers and scrambling the title
race; Dartmouth was at Northwestern
Iowa was at Michigan: Ohio State linn

more than her share of gridiron mas

In the western part of the State ma
tional interest will be focused on the
clash between Carnegie Techs titantic
Tartans and the violent Violets OF New

may come a survivor well JuStlned IN

vored to turn back Chick Mehan's Vio-

beaten only by Georgetown.
Carnegie's chances of victory seem TO
lie in stopping Ken Strong, malnSprlng
of New York University's attack and the
highest scoring back in the country.
At Philadelphia, in the extreme east
ern part of the State, another unbeaten
season a week later than usual against
the Navy. If Bill Roper has succeeded
in convincing the Tigers that this bat
tie is a climax and not an anti-climaX.
Princeton should win. Those experts
inclined to back the Navy are In
f1uenced largely by the fact that they
believe Princeton, to all 1ntents and
purposes, closed its season with the
victory over Yale last Saturday.
Pennsylvania has five other battles TO
offer tomorrow. Davis and Elkins VIII
