EXTRA TILT UPSET
ENDS FINE SEASON
No Aiibi at Northwestern for
Loss Making Triple Tie
for Loop Lead.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,

i ~HICAGO, November 30.-
The Big Tens most fan
~ tastic foot ball season is
history; charity has bene-
fited by $l54, 600: Northwestern
shares the championship with
Michigan and Purdue-and the
arguments over the whole thing
probably will continue until a new
season rolls around.
The most stunning upset Of the
overlong campaign was saved un-
til the final day-laSt Saturday
when Purdue toppled Northwest
ern from its high place, Z to 0, on
historic Soldier Field, to ruin an
unmarried record, and give Michi-
gan a chance to cut in.
Purdue gained a tie with the Wild
cats for the top position by its triumph,
while Michigan declared itself in by
administering a 16-to-0 beating to Wis
consin at Ann Arbor. Ohio State failed
to grab q share of the title by losing
to Minnesota's Gophers, l9 to Z, in an
other upset.
ago they were dreaming OF national
championship claim, there were no
alibis today. Coach Dick Hanley said
the better team had won Saturday, but
said that his squad, worn down by a
more difficult schedule, was past its
peak and had not enough left to con-
tend with q powerful foe in an extra
game. The defeat just about eliminated
Northwestern as a possibility for the
Rose Bowl game at Los Angeles New
Year day, and snatched away at the
last moment the only undisputed grid
iron title in Northwestern's history.
Purdue, its supposedly erratic line
playing championship foot ball and
overcoming handicaps from penalties
and fumbles, conquered the Wildcats
before $1,000 spectators who contributed
about $4,000 to charity. At Ann Aybor
a meager crowd of about 10000 paid
$4,000 to see the Wolverines held
scoreless and outplayed in the first half
by wisconsin, come back to win handiiy
IN the final two periods.
Minnesota and Ohio attracted $4,000
patrons and $4,000 as the Gophers
reached their peak to defeat the Buck
eyes and prevent them from sharing in
the tie for the championship. The
charity fund was started with $4,000
received from the round robin" tourna-
ment at Stagg Field Thanksgiving day.
It was the first time in Western Con-
ference gridiron history that three
teams had divided the title, and. while
disappointing to Northwestern, the ex-
ira games produced the result pre-
ticted by the experts before the season
opened. Northwestern, Purdue and
Michigan, not scheduled to meet among
themselves, were rated as the strongest
squads in the League and three-way
split was predicted.
Michigan was defeated by Ohio State,
90 10 z, in It's second Big Ten encounter,
while wisconsin set the Boilermakers
back with an unexpected 21-to-14 de-
feat. Only Illinois and Icwa failed to
win at least one game. and the Hawk
eyes even failed to score single point
Ia conference competition.
