The Big Ten conference percent
age table likely will survive the
coming Saturday without undergo
ing alteration other than those pre-
dicted by the prognosticators. Only
four of the ten teams get into action
against one another. Intersectional
scraps form the attractions for fans
at three of the schools.
Illinois will hop over to Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, to face her traditional
rival, Michigan. The Wolverines
are undergoing one of their saddest
seasons, still seeking victory, after
losses to Ohio Wesleyan, Indiana,
Ohio State and Wisconsin. Illinois
Is undefeated and hardly will be
expected to lose the scrap Saturday
Il. Wolverines Show Progress
7 Undoubtedly the Wolverines have
y improving each week and
ed up hill all the way last
~ against Wisconsin and
lowed to defeat by a one
ddown margin.
sob Zuppke has not been in the
winning column yet by enough mar
gin to cause one to feel he is salts
fed with his teams performance.
indiana and Northwestern each
were close enough that plays with a
break in them that might have gone
in favor of the two teams would
have spelled defeat for the Illinois.
It is not too much to expect that
Michigan might upset the Illini. So
far the Zuppmen have appeared a
little over-rated, which might mean
that they never have gone into any
game yet keyed up for victory.
In the other conference game of
the weekend, Northwestern takes
on the Minnesota team at Evanston.
The Gopers, in spite of the Iowa
reverse, are on paper a much
stronger club than the Wildcats and
with week of coaching under their
belts the boys from up north are
likely to run up a score.
Quakers Favored
The three intersection trays call
for Pennsylvania at Chicago,
Princeton at Ohio State and Ala
bama at Wisconsin. On the basis
of comparison that rejuvenated
Navy team defeated Pennsylvania,
and the poor showing of Chicago
this fall, the fasteners are favored
to win on the Midway because they
have defeated Penn State and three
other teams this fall.
That powerful Buckeye team will
find themselves up against tough
customer in Princeton. The Tigers
have defeated Lehigh by large
count, played a tie game with Vir-
GINA and run up big score against
Vermont. The game last Saturday
with Cornell was a 80 victory.
Princeton downed Ohio State last
year, 20 to 0.
Alabama, with three victories and
one defeat against southern teams,
is still somewhat unknown because
those opponents were all teanl1
from that section. Sewanee, Miss
issippi A. and M. and Mississippi
were defeated and Tennessee :
turnbled them 1913. One rather
expects Badger victory.
South Dakota and Iowa tangle at
the home of the Hawkeyes and Case
of Cleveland will be in Lafayette
to battle the Purdue team. One
rather expects these two games to
. be let-up struggles for the Big Ten
aggregations.
Indiana has an open date Satur-
day and will rest up for the clash
with Minnesota at Minnesota
Nov. 10.
