Win Games in Row
Northwestern already has won a.
clear claim to share in the Big
Ten conference honors and can win
recognition as leading claimant for
western and national champion
ship laurels by defeating Notre
Dame in its seasons finale today.
The Wildcats have won seven con-
secutive games, defeating two i'm
tersectional rivals. Tulane and Gem
ire, and Eve conference teams, Ohio
State, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana
and Wisconsin.
Notre Dame, undefeated since
1928, still has games with Ar-ey and
Southern California on its schedule,
but can clinch- western honors and
strengthen its claim to a second
successive national championship by
downing the Wildcats.
Playing Conditions Ideal
Clear, dry weather with the tenn
perature near the freezing mark
provided ideal conditions for the
players, but made the stands I'M
comfortably cool for spectators.
Notre Dame ruled a favorite at
game time with odds ranging from
2 to l, to 5 to 2, and Northwestern
supporters asking from Z to IA
points on even money wagers.
The betting was heavier than on
any Chicago sports event since the
Dempsey-Tunney fight and more
than .$1,000,000 was expected to
change hands on the result Of the

Acid Test for AlI-Americas
