When the Western Conference
foot ball season becomes his
~ tory late Saturday afternoon q
host of stars whose playing
thrilled hundreds of thousands OF
spectators this Fall. will have ended
their Big Ten gridiron careers.
Coach Jimmy Phelan of Purdue S
first championship team will part with
real regret with six regulars and five
reserves. Two of the finest halfbacks
in the country, Ralph Pest" WEIGH
and Glen Harmeson, will wear Purdue S
golden livery for the last time Saturday
against Indiana, as will Bill Woerner
the end who caught the passes that
defeated Iowa last week and gave Pur-
due the title. With them will 60 Eb
CaraWay and Bill Mackle, ends, and
Red Sleight, one Of the outstanding
tackles Of the Conference. The re-
serves are: Lange, center; Stewart and
Myers, tackles; Kaumeier, guard, and
Huntcinger, end.
Illinois to Lose Most.
Illinois will suffer the greatest nu-
merical loss as well as the loss of regu-
lars: Capt. Crane and Wietz, guards;
Burdick and Gordon, tackles; Jolley,
Tarwain and Wolgast, ends, will make
their final stand for Illinois against
Ohio State Saturday, while five fine
backs -" Forsty" Peters, Mills, Tinm,
Humbert and Walker-will play their
last game as members OF an 1llini
eleven.
Ohio State, which will battle Illinois
for the runner-up honor in the 1929
races, losses IL men: Barrett, giant
center; Ujhelyi, Carter and Carlin,
guards; CHASER, tackle. and Onslaught
Messy, ends, will leave holes in the
Buckeye line, and Alan Holman and
Fouch, quarterbacks; Coffee, Huston
and Mcclure, halfbacks, will finish their
Big Ten competition.
In Iowa's game with Michigan at Ann
Arbor, not only will seven of the Hawk
eyes best perform for the last time in
intercollegiate competition, but the con-
test may mark the final appearance of
the whole Iowa squad, unless the Big
Ten decides to let the school back into
its good athletic graces. Capt. Willis
Glasgow, ranked with the best halfbacks
in the West; Hagerty, fullback: Myers.
Roberts and Thurman, a great trio OF
guards; Westra, regular tackle; Carl
son, an end, and Pignatelli, first-string
quarterback, are the Hawks who will
bother collegiate opponents no longer.
Gophers Lose Best Men.
Minnesotas numerical loss will not be
so great, but the departing players will
leave Spears with plenty of work when
he tries to fill their places next sea-
son. Bronko Nagurski, probably the
greatest all-around foot ball player in
the league. who has performed equally
we'll at fullback and at tackle, will be
the chief loss, but Art Pharmer and
Darnhart, halfbacks, will not be easily
replaced. Gopher linemen who will
meet Wisconsin in their finals are
Langenberg, tackle, and Kakela and
Pulkrabek, star guards.
Nine Northwestern seniors will wind
up their careers against big compett-
ton when the Wildcats tackle Notre
Dame at Evanston. Capt. Henry An
derson, guard, and Micky Erickson,
center, are the only regular linemen to
go, although Vandeberger, tackle, and
Singleton, reserve end, will wear North
western suits for the last time. Rus
Bergherm, whose play at fullback al
most has made Northwestern forget the
loss of Hank Bruder, will graduate,
along with Bill Claderwood and Johnny
Haas, regular backs. Reserve backs
who are seniors are johnson and Klaar.
Michigan's losses will include Capt.
Joe Turskowski, who plays at end or
halfback; Dahlem and Wilson, half
backs, and Dynamite Joe Gembis, full
back, whose toe has given Michigan
several field goal and point after touch
down victories. Bovard, center; Poe,
