Asks Greater Protection for Passer.

| Rentner, a swell passer. Northwestern,
after a bad start against the Badgers,
came back like a real champion.
| Kipke infused Michigan with q
| fighting heart and made the most OF
material that was not remarkable,
although his team averages well on
team speed. The Wolverines had a
rugged defense and, without good
running attack, won chiefly through
the development of a fine passing at
! tack featuring Newman, the best
! thrower, probably, in the Big Ten. I
| have not seen Fesler this year, but 1
doubt If he can toss as well as New
man. Michigan will certainly defeat
Chicago and tie with Northwestern.
Michigan was a better team than
Minnesota and deserved to win, but
give the Gophers and their coaches,
Herb Crisler and Tad Wieman. credit
for a gallant threat. Minnesota has
come long way since Vanderbilt ran
wild at Minneapolis. 1t takes good
coaching to get the best out OF good
material and even better coaching to
develop poorer material.
Ohio State Does Well.
Sam Willaman, at Ohio State, is
another coach who held the noses OF
his team to the wind and maintained
morale after diScouraging start. They
looked askance at Sam when he moved
Fesler to the backfield on offense, but,
as usual, the coach knew better than
the second guessers. Fesler was the
handspring of the Buckeyes In their
defeat of Pittsburgh.
After Illinois defeated Chicago by a
large score, Coach Stagg said he did not
see that we had such bad team. The
truth is that Illinois, with material be-
low its standard, has been matched
against the three best Big Ten teams,
Northwestern, Michigan and Purdue,
and Army, one of the best In the East.
When we struck line that was in our
own class, our backs had chance.
Butler could give Purdue no opposl-
ton. Somebody misquoted me as say
ing Purdue has the best" team in the
conference said it may" be the best.
At any rate, Purdue is one OF the best
teams in the country, am satisfied.
Iowa's victory over Penn State should
help its morale for the Nebraska game.
Although Penn State is weak, the
Hawkeyes did we'll to win so decisively
Drake put up gallant fight against
Notre Dame, but the result was fore
gone conclusion as soon as the Irish
forces were unleashed.
Kansas Comes Back.
Kansas. which has been somewhat Of
an in-and-out team, got going against
Oklahoma and won decisively, although
the lighter Oklahomas made 1t quite q
game for awhile. This ties Kansas ana
Oklahoma for leadership in the Mis-
souri, Valley Each team must meet
Missouri and the result of these games
will determine the championship.
Nebraska. with a superior running
attack and a passing ohense about
equal, was held to a scoreless tie by
Missouri. which proved stronger than
expected. This removed Nebraska from
the possibility of tie for the cham
pionship unless both Oklahoma and
Kansas are held to ties, with Missouri,
which is improbable.
Iowa State, with Trauger and others
Of its best men crippled, was no match
| for Kansas Aggies. Noel Workman is
a smart coach, but even the smartest
cannot make bricks without straw.
Marquette and Detroit proved to be
evenly matched in their scoreless tie.
Detroit came back strong after its de-
| feats by Iowa and Fordham and was a
real menace. While this broke Mar
quette's string Of victories, the Mil
| waukee team is still undefeated and has
q fine chance to go through by defeat
| ing Butler November 81.
