R).--NoTthwestern trained its big guns
on the Indiana ink which has persist
ed Tor the past three years, ana the
Wilcat was an odds-on choice to make
the Hoosiers their fourth Big Ten victim
of the season.
While not at full strength, North

Of one Of the weakest elevens Indiana
ever has had. Frank Baker, high

signals for Northwestern, suffered bad
bruises last week at Minnesota, but

Northwestern teams.
