DOTH of the Hoosier states Big Ten grid machines are
booked for important action this Saturday. At Chicago
30 McMilin's /. L. Crimson warriors will stack into the re-
juvenated MarOOns, surprise team Of the Western Conference
and conqueror of Michigan, 81 to O. Indiana leaped back to
form last week against Temple and confidence has been re-
stored in the ranks of McMillin's men.
It's Chicagos turn to do the worrying. Indiana may
catch the Naroons slightly bent from the bruising Wolverine
skirmish. Chicago keyed" for Michigan and now Indiana
is keyed" for Chicago.
You Will have to go a long way to find better entertain
ment than Purdue and Wisconsin offer in their classics. And
as George Kirksey of the United Press, Chicago, said yester-
day, Don't sell Purdue short on account of the defeats by
Rice and Notre Dame" In other words, it makes very little
difference what has happened before when these Big Ten adj
versaries collide in their own game.

only meeting and Willard admits he was a little tmid about flirting with
the Cox Tanop Since then Brown has tackled other punch@s OF repu-
tatton and now is willing to exchange blows with all Corners.
Brown is going under his own power and management As a mat

Kid Wolfe, at Memphis, next Wednesday night. Both Cox and Brown
are o n the upgrade again and if there is a natural match locally, this
is it. Both are in the midst of winning streaks.
The problem, of course, is to induce a promoter to take a chance.

wnd-eyed boys of the campus kidnapped one of their own classmates and
kept him under cover until the Notre Dame game. -e had expressed adj
miration for the Notre Dame system and immedia ely was set upon

the enemy" 1t took a long time for the university officials to settle
