Big Ten Loses
In War Against
Outside Foes
By ROBERT McsHANE

WHEN the Big Ten football con-
~ ference closed its books this
year, ending the most jumbled sea-
son in recent history, the ledger
showed the loss Of IL out-of-confer-
ence games as balanced against II
wins and three tie games.
Four Of those II n0n-conference
victories were made at the expense
Of Obeflin, Wabash, Arizona and
South Dakota. which means that in
major non-conference games the
Big Ten was especially disappoint-
ing.
Ohio State holds the Western con-
ference championship, for which the
school is largely indebted to Michi-
gan and Northwestern. Iowa, had
it defeated instead of tying North
western, would have shared the
championship with Ohio State. Mich
igan alone was able to defeat Iowa.
During generally unhappy sea-
son, Iowa was the only one of the

Even after she had done every
thing she could, and had crept into
her own dark corner for the night,
Rebecca found she could not forget
the couple in the stable Mary, the
man had called his wife. There was
such a radiance about her. IT won
der what makes her so different"
Rebecca thought And she opened
her eyes.
In amazement she saw light in
the courtyard, so much that it
seemed the dawn must have come.
But the light came from star that
shone just about the stable. Out into
the yard the girl crept, and sudden
ly she heard child's cry, cooling,
happy sound.
Rebecca looked about. No one
was stirring. Far off, on the hill
side she saw what looked like a
group of men, shadowy, indistinct,
seemingly moving toward Bethle-
hem. It must be her imagination.
Possibly it was Ephraim's vineyard
she saw. Soon she stood in the stable
doorway.
There. lighted by a lantern, was
Joseph, bending over the young
woman and holding in his arms a
tiny baby-her firstborn. At Rebec-
cas- exclamation he turned. and in
to her outstretched arms he handed
the little figure and showed her the

standings.
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 manrower 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
its 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
, appointments 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: H.
linois 16, Michigan z; Iowa Z, Notre
Dame, 6; Iowa 10, Minnesota 9;
Iowa 4, Purdue O; Michigan 81, Ohio
State IA; Purdue 8, 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.
Tennessee's great record, though
dade 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
( California, unquestionably one
If 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.

writer for the New York Sun penned
these now-famous lines in answer to
scrawled letter from a little girl
named Virginia. whose faith in Sam
ia had been shaken.
Today Virginia is grown up, mar
ried, and serves as assistant prin-
clpal in an east side New York
school. Her name is DR. Laura Vir-
ginia Douglas and this Christmas
she's playing Santa Claus not only
to her pupils but her own daughter.
Pink-cheeked. vivacious. yet shy
and hesitant in speaking of personal
matters, DR.. Douglas is not in favor
of breaking the news badly 10 a
child that there is no Santa Claus.
He will learn naturally, she says, as
he turns from the free, imaginative
stage of early childhood to an in
terest in the world around him.
When she first became old enough
to realize the full meaning of the
Suns editorial, she felt badly be-
cause poor children were not able
to have Christmas gifts as tangible
evidence of Santa's existence. Lat
er, she says, she grew to realize that
material gifts were not so impor-
tant as the faith which even the very
poor child could have in something
spiritual.

the subject of the Lesson-Ser-

Churches of Christ, Scientist, on

The Golden Text is: "Yea,
though I walk through the val

I will fear no evil for thou art
with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me-" (Psm. 23:4).
Among the citations which
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:
But if the Spirit of him that
raised up Jesus from the dead
dwell in you, he that raised up
Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by
his spirit that dwelleth in you
(Rom. BID.
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cludes the following passage
from the Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health

Mary Baker Eddy: Life is the
origin and ultimate of man, nev-
err attainable through death, but
gained by walking in the path
