Uncle Andy has disappointed the

RULE SAYS ZUPPKE
CANNOT HAVE THREE
POOR YEARS IN ROW
IIIini Eleven Will Have to Play
Football to Overcome
Northwestern
BELIEVE 1T CAN BE DONE
Running Attacks vii Be Pitted
Against Passes in Two
Other Games

Chicago, Oct. 12.-(P-The Illinois
football axiom that Bob Zuppke
never has three poor years in a row
will get the first of its 1892 tests Sat-
urday and from all indications it
will be quite test.
The other party to the experiment
will be Northwestern, already de-
feated once in Big Ten competition,
but not anywhere near willing to adj
NIT that it has no chance for the
conference championship.
Illinois. under Zuppke, has had
some lean years, but usually, Just
about the time things looked dark
est, the willy Dutchman arose to the
occasion. The 1916 and 1917 seasons
were not the best, but in 1918 the
Illini won their four Big Ten games.
The 1921 and 1922 elevens failed to
get anywhere, but 1923, Red Oranges
first year, saw Illinois overcome five
straight conference opponents.
The championship team of 1928
followed two unsuccessful clubs and
now, after being smacked around for
the last two seasons, Zuppke is ex-
pected to produce something good.
Last year was Illinois worst under
zuppke. when every conference game
resulted in defeat.
In their first two games this sea-
son the Illini have looked fairly good.
and it apparently is the old Zuppke
legend that leads them to believe
they can lick Northwestern this week
at Champaign. Northwestern is ac-
corded the edge-unless Zuppke pops
In with a surprise.
In two other important games
powerful running attacks will be
matched against passes. Wisconsin
is being primed by Coach Clarence
Spears to go Via air against Purdue.
while Michigan will rely on Harry
Newmans shots to quell Ohio State.
Both Purdue and Ohio State have
power on the ground, even though
held to touchdown apiece bv Min

Both Indiana and Iowa, which
meet at Bloomington. have under
