n YEW YORK, November a.
IN The Big Ten and Pacific
/ Y Coast Conference contrive
to swing the foot ball
searchlight upon themselves this
week despite another array of i'm
portant inter-sectional tests. In

situation is so clearly defined as
to hinge almost entirely on the re-
suit of single game.
In the Big Ten, Northwestern
and Minnesota, the only united
and unbeaten teams within the
conference, are matched at Evans
ton in battle that almost GER
tainly will decide the title.
Especially does this hold true II
Northwestern wins, as the Wildcats then
would have only to beat Indiana and
| Iowa to wind I'D its conference season
with a perfect record. Minnesota,
should 1t conquer Northwestern, stiu
would have to dispose Of Michigan.
In the Pacific Coast race, Southern
California, with four conference yicto-
ries, win clash with Stanford, unbeaten
but tied by Washington. With all other
conference teams beaten at least once.

| 1891 champion.

l. in other major conferences. All the
standouts are Georgia, Tulane and
Tennessee In the South; Southern
Methodist and Texas Christian in the
Southwest Harvard Pennsylvania.
Cornell and Syracuse In the East; Me-
braska and Kansas State in the Big
| Six: Utah and the Utah Aggies In the
Rocky Mountain group. and Natre Dame
among the Midwest Independents.
