Wave Among Other Picks
BY BILL BONI

NEW YORK, Nov. l.-H04Ou
need look no farther than Dyche
stadium at Evanston, ILL.,, for to-
morrow's most important football
game.
There Northwestern and Mime
sofa will play the first episode in
a three-team round robin that will
settle the Western conference
championship and should have a
strong bearing on national cham
pionship pretensions. Michigan, the
other member of this all-winning
trio, is resting up for its home
stretch drive in which the Wolver-
ines will meet both the Gophers
and the Wildcats.
This is the days only game
pairing two major unbeaten-
united teams. and it will pack
Dyche stadium to its As, 900 capa-
city. Elsewhere there will be larg-
err crowds, but it's doubtful that
there will be more bone-crushing
impact anywhere.
Notre Dame and Army, as usual
will take the attendance palm, with
70, 900 due at Yankee stadium de-
spite the fact an Irish victory is
almost a foregone conclusion. I'm
beaten Navy against once-beaten
Penn will bring $4,000 to Phila-
delphia's Franklin field; unbeaten
Clemson against Tulane will draw
40, 900 at New Orleans; 20, 1000 will
see Texas A. and M. meet recov-
ering Arkansas, and on the West
coast pace-setting Stanford will
play U. c. L. A. before 5000.
Cornell, on the other hand, No.
l team in the Associated Press
ranking poll, will have only some
II, 1000 witnesses for its clash with
Columbia, although the Lions gave
the big Red it's biggest scare of
all in 1899.
Manfully fighting down the men,
DRY of last weeks surprises, your
correspondent fights his way out
of his corner thusly home teams,
first, probable attendances in pa
