BY DICK MILLER

Indiana university gridders get
their big chance this week, playing
the headline attraction in an eight
game Hoosier grid program. The
Crimson eleven has a fine chance Of
rewarding I. U. home corners with
a victory over Iowa at Bloomington
Saturday.
Purdue takes to the rattlerS for
the second consecutive week, going
north this time to meet an 4nbeaten
conference foe, Chicago. Notre
Dame leaves its home gridirOn after
a four-game stand for battle with
a bitter rival, Pittsburgh, at the
Smoky City.
Butler also boards the rattlers
this week to play its first out-ot-
state foe of the season, Washington,
at st. Louis. De Paw remains at
home. Georgetown CKyO, is the
foe. The Tigers have hopes OF
keeping their record of thirteen
straight shutout victories intact.
Crimson Hopes Bright
30 McNillin's scrappin' Hoosiers,
after a two weeks rest, and with
the information gained by their
coach, who secuted Iowa last Satur-
day. should be able to put up a
thrilling fight against the HaWHeyeS.
Such luminaries of the Big Ten as
Russ Fisher, Dick Crayne, "Oze"
Simmons and others of Ossie So
LENS team should attract quite
neutral following to Bloomington.
Chances are rosy for an Indiana
victory.
There was a time when the an
nual visit of Purdue to Chicago
meant Windy City papers would be
flied with "Stagg fears Purdue"
Then Purdue hit the top of the con-
ference and Purdue began fearing
Chicago. Chicago is at the top this
year. undefeated and in good shape
after a breather against Missouri
last Saturday. Purdue, after defeats
at the hands of Rice and Notre
Dame. came back with decisive wins
over Wisconsin and Carnegie Tech.
With Purvis and Carter in form
supported by Drake, Toriello, Haas,
Decker, Anderson and a fast i'm
proving forward wall, the battle on
the Midway Saturday looks like a
natural. 1t will test the right OF
Chicago to be at the top of the heap
and will show whether Purdue is
plenty able to hold its own against
conference foes.
Irish May Upset Pitt
Gradually nursing the morale OF
the Notre Dame team back to
high plane, and improving the block
ing, tackling and offense step by
step as he moved along, Elmer Lay
| den takes his team east to meet Pitt.
In the first game, when a point
after touchdown failure cost them a
tie with Texas, and in wins over
Purdue, Carnegie Tech and WiScon-
sin. the Irish appeared to have fine
reserve strength. In fact, some have
found it difficult to note a weakness
among the men representing first to
/ fourth teams. Such reserve power
may be the deciding factor this
week, as we'll as in future struggles.
Pitt naturally is the favorite, but
the Irish say: 80 was Army last
year"
Cincinnati took Georgetown into
camp by a good margin and it ap-
pears the De Paw Tigers are not
going out of their class against the
Kentucky eleven Butler, however,
goes to st. Louis to meet a team
that already has walloped Wabash
this fall. The Bulldogs were able to
gain only a Scoreless tie with the
Little Giants Saturday. Coaches
Tony Hinkle and Wally Middles-
worth were far from pleased with
the showing of the Bulldogs and the
north side eleven is in for a hard
week Of practice.
Valpo Has Hard Task
Valparaiso entertains an out Of
state foe, De Paul, a team which
always is tough. The Earlham- Rose
Poly tilt at Terre Haute should be
/ the game among the smaller teams
that packs the thrills. Both teams
are victory hungry and both pass
the bah well. A wide open scoring
session is not unlikely.
Two battles that will likely "be
battles" are the Ball State-Man-
