NOW York, Oct, s0--(JPy ~ CoAch Carroll Wlddoes Of Ohio gtAt0'b Battling Buckeyes amazed the tra- ditionaliy pesallnistiO brothers of hls profession 0 few months ago when no predicted that his team might not lose Q football eanhe thls Beason, and today it looked co if he might have known what h0 was talking about.
 The ali-clyilian bucks BtiI have four major hurdles Go clear before completing tho season linboRten and they might not even Rot by next Saturdays ttlt with tho improving Indiana HooSierB. But what they have done already, hos qualified them for recognition with Army, Notro DaIl0 and Georgia Tech 60 the big four in collegiate grid clr- cles.
 Wlddoes later tempered hls re- marks, saying he hAdn't intended to put it quite % strongly, but his football team has played from tho start As if 1t took him seriously ln the first place.
 The latest victory over good Minnesota team put the Buckeyes alone in tho Big Ten conference lead because Purdue was toppied by Michigan. After Indiana they must beat Pittsburgh, Illinois and Michigan and 1t will bo Q miracle If they escape that array un. Bcathed.
 Trouble looms immediately ahead for most Of the other iinbeaten and united teams this weekend. Qeor. gia Tech opposes Dukes Blue Devils, who outplayed Armyb mighty Cadets for . full half before sueeumbing. Notre Dame which lost luSter in edglng out an uniucky Illinois eleven, will have to play Q better game to beat NAvy's re. bounding MIdshipmen. The Mid- dies provided the tip.oR on what the Irish may encounter when they poured it on for Q four touchdown victory over previously unbeaten PennBylvania.
