.Spealsing of Sports
Northwestern
Early Favorite
In Big 10 Race
By ROBERT McSHANE

THE melancholy days are here
that time of the year when foot
ball coaches droop visibly, bringing
tears to the eyes of their followers
with sad, dismal stories of general
misfortune, lack of material and
tough schedules.
Some of the less fortunate coaches
haven't more than three or four ton
notch players for any one spot, and
OF course, see nothing but the black
est Of futures ahead. Optimism on
the part of the coach amounts to
malfeasance in Office.
However, close observers whose
bread and butter doesn't depend on
turning out championship football
team, see a lot of great teams for
the coming season. Sophomores and
juniors, who saw a lot of action
during the '38 season, will be turned
loose this year to really tear I'D the
nations gridirons.
In the Big Ten, Northwestern,
Minnesota and Michigan are expect
ed to share dictatorial honors.
Coaches are pointing to Northwest
ern as the team to beat.

Michigan Strong

Michigan is one of the upper
bracket Big Ten teams. Forest Ev-
ashevski, Wolverine key blocker and
defensive pivot, is one of the best
players of the Middle West. Coach
H. o. ("Fritz") Crisler may have
a team that will upset all the dope,
and walk off with conference honors.
Purdue, which tied Michigan for
second place last fall, will again
have its ''Three Bees" around whom
to build-Lou Brock, Jack Brown
and Mike Byelene. Brooks great
play was one of the chief factors
in Purdue's great season in 1898.
He blocks exceptionally well, and is
equally versatile at running, kick
ing and passing.
Needless to say, competition in the
Big Ten isn't limited to these four
teams. Iowa, with a new coach, DR..
Eddie Anderson, may surprise the
experts, though not much is expect
ed as he starts rebuilding Hawkeye
football fortunes. Wisconsin will
miss Fullback Howie Weiss, but
Coach Harry Stuhldreher is still
hopeful Of q championship contend
er. Ohio State, Illinois, Chicago and
indiana will be somewhat stronger
this season, but hardly rate with the
other six teams.
Theirs is scarcely the sort of ma
terial around which the other schools
are building their hopes. Though
Indiana may prove an upset before
the season ends.

DeCorrevont- on Spot

Fans will be watching Bill De-

through in great style. DeCorrevont
will have TO be the greatest football
player since Red Grange to live up
to his advance publicity.
For the first time since 1884. de-
spite Coach Waldorf, Minnesota isn't

ing lineup will include eight new
men, and the Gopher schedule is
more difficult than a year ago.
Among returning regulars are Cap

may be all wrong. Confidence has
