have to do it Saturday.

Lake Michigan have beaten two Big
Ten opponents, Ohio State and Illi-
nois. After Minnesota they must
meet Indiana and Iowa, neither of
which has done anything to indicate
they can cause Northwestern any
more than a minimum of difficulty.
So, it apparently is up to Minnesota.
They will meet Saturday in Dyche

$4,000 will be present to watch the
two remaining undefeated elevens of
the league in what shapes up as the
championship clash of the campaign.

the United States Naval Academy

Cornhuskers at Lincoln, Neb. Notre

defeated eleven as its opponent in the
new brick stadium at South Bend.

a thrilling IA to 0 triumph over Wis
consin The defeat virtually blasted
Wisconsin's title hopes and left the
Gophers as Northwesterns big threat.
Minnesota outplayed Wise onsin

touchdownS were scored, and had
enough left to turn back a sensation
ally desperate passing barrage by the
Badgers in the last two periods.
