remained in the service four years.
Just when Goble conceived his
idea of the ginrikisha is not known,
but after leaving the marine corps,
and returning to Japan as a mis-
sionary, he suggested to the Japa-
nese the idea of making these en-
larged go-carts means of convey
ance.
The first ricksha, contracted as a
result of his suggestion, made it's
appearance in Japan in 1867, and
subsequently its use spread to near
ly all the countries of the Far East.

SLduuLlSSs
The jumbled conference race is
symbolized by this strange outcome:
Illinois and Minnesota were the two
teams which whipped the Wolver-
ines and kept Michigan from an
unbeaten year. Ohio State then pro-
ceeded to defeat both Illinois and
the Gophers, but lost in the clos
ing game to Michigan. Northwest
ern's tie with Iowa allowed the
Buckeyes to claim the Big Ten title.
Season of Upsets
Altogether, it was a season of up
sets and surprises. One of the out
standing developments was the phe-
nomenal rise of Iowa under Coach
Eddie Anderson, who is serving his
first year with Iowa. In each of
their seven major games the Hawk
eyes had to be figured as the short
enders. They were the underdogs
because of manpower shortage.
Another surprise was the collapse
of Michigan's wonder team" Both
Illinois and Minnesota took charge
of affairs and whipped the Wolver-
ines without great deal of trouble.
Northwestern failed to live up to
it's preseason rating. Coach Lynn
Waldorf wasn't too enthusiastic
about the great amount of publicity
given his potential All-America can
didates, remarking that "We're not
as good on grass as we are on news
print"
Other events which upset early
fall predictions were the consistent
disappointments of Wisconsin and
Purdue, the relatively poor Show
ing made by Minnesota for the
first time in six years, and the Uni
versity of Chicago's dismal record
against conference competition.
Spotlight Turns
The upset games in which heav-
lily favored teams lost, included: IL
linois Is, Michigan 7; Iowa 7, Notre
Dame, 6; Iowa -, Minnesota g.;
Iowa 4, Purdue O; Michigan 81, Ohio
State IA; Purdue 3, Northwestern o.
Failure of the Big Ten teams to
maintain their usual pace turned
the spotlight in other directions. Cor
nell did much to re-establish the
East's claim to gridiron greatness.
Tennessees great record, though
made against mediocre talent,
brought cheers from the nations
football addicts. Another great team
was Texas A. & M. Authorities
were loud in their praise of South
ern California, unquestionably one
of the greatest of grid machines.
Though Big Ten teams lost in the
war against outsiders, interest in
conference struggles was greater
than ever. Nothing could be taken
for granted. The race was close
enough to thrill every downtown
quarterback, and the final result
was in doubt until the last whistle
had blown.
