KIPKE REARRANGEs SQUAD

Chicago, Oct. 7.-R}-Northwestern
and Ohio State have the same feeling
about their gridiron battle Saturday
they figure the winner will win the
Big Ten title, or come extremely close
to it.
Reports that Indiana is weaker than
expected, and that Ohio State accom-
plished little in defeating the Hoosiers
% to 0 last Saturday, failed to impress
Coach Dick Hanley Of Northwestern.
His reaction was that Ohio Is stronger
than rated before the season opened,
and that his Wildcats will have to be-
better than they were against Tulane
last Saturday. Hanley also remarked,
somewhat wryly:
Rating Means Nothing
Indiana has not been rated In the
same class with Northwestern the past
three years, but they have licked us
three times. Think of what Ohio, with
a strong team, might do"
Coach Sam Willaman told the Ohio
State squad the Northwestern game
is the make or break" point Of the
season, and Immediately ordered Sc
cret practice for this week. ALI Of
Ohio's crippleS, including Holcomb,
have recovered and will be ready for
the struggle. Hank Bruder did not
turn out yesterday because Of q slight
cold, but was expected back on the
Northwestern practice field today.
Larry Oliphant. regular end, and Sid
Burnstein, halfback, returned yester-
day after >ten-day layoffs because Of
injuries.
Alterations in lineups appeared to
be the rule in other camps. Michigan
lost Bill Hewitt, q fine end, in the
Michigan State game Saturday, and
Harry Kipke has been forced to revise
his whole line to fill the spot before
Purdue invades Ann Arbor Saturday.
Walter Gnabah, reserve fulback at
Wisconsin last year, who was shifted
to the line this fall. yesterday was e
turned to the backfield. The Badger
squad also was trimmed to 81 men.
Kizer Considers Shifts
Purdue's line did not function up to
expectations against Baylor Saturday,
and Coach Kizer considered several
shifts, while Bob Zuppke combed the
Illinois squad for another fullback.
Captain Olaf Robinson still is out
with injuries, while Jack Shook, who
played at full Saturday against Iowa
State, yesterday was called to his
home because Of the death Of his
father.
Indiana has gone back to funda-
mentalS to iron out the weaknesses
displayed at Ohio State Saturday. The
HOLSTERS will meet Oklahoma Aggies,
which uncorked q passing attack to
defeat Iowa Z to o last week.
Coach Fritz Crisler Of Minnesota
looked about for a fullback to bolster
up his attack, following indication
that Captain Win Brockmeyer's health
will permit him to play little this fall.
Chisler blamed failure to follow his
orders, coupled with the advanced
condition Of the southerners, for Van
derbilt's 80 to Z victory over the Go
pliers Saturday, and Immediately set
about to make ready for Stanford.
Coach stagg indicated he will con-
centrate on Chicago's offense this
week, figuring that offensive power
will be the Maroons' best bet against
Wisconsin Saturday.
With one won and nine more to
play, Notre Dame today was thrust
into hard work for the Navy, which
will collaborate In the formal dedica-
ton Of the 100000 stadium at South
Bend Saturday.
