Michigan, with one Big Ten de- feat, and Minnesota, with one con- ference tie, are still title possibili- ties, provided Illinois is knocked from its unbeaten perch, but the Michigan and Minnesota contests tomorrow have no bearing on their, conference rating. The Chicago squad was given an early start in its psychological prep- aration for the Illinois battle when Coach Stagg warned them last night that their captain, Ken Rouse, might not last for the full game. Ilini In Top Form The Ilinios squad, in contrast, at the peak of its form without a single cripple, and with 15 linemen and eight backs, almost interchang- able as to ability. “Michigan again draws the day’s only sell-out crowd, with a prospect of 83,000 in the Wolverines’ new stadium. This will the third meeting, Michigan and Navy each having a previous victory. _ ‘ ‘The Iowa guests of the Wisconsin team will make their 11th attempt to gain a Big Ten victory, the first’ 10 tries having been unsuccessful. Coach Thistlethwaite has been polishing the Wisconsin offense all week, trusting to his line to repel anything the Hawkeyes might at- tempt. $ z The Northwestern cripples, which have numbered nearly the entire varsity squad for most of the week, are recovering with surprising rapidity, and the Indiana sophomore souad will meet a determined bunch of wildcats, furious from three suc- cessive. defeats after a brilliant season opening. HUMBERT LEADS BIG TEN BACKS Illini Fullback’s Total Yard- age Is 235, 16 Yards Better Than Joesting Chicago, Nov. 11. — (®) — Fritz Humbert, linois sophomore full- back, is the “five-yards” demon of the Western Conference ball car- riers this fall, for he has averaged that amount in 47 tries against Big glee opponent. to lead al. the reg- 8. Humbert’s total yardage for three s is 235, 1° yards better than the total for Captain Herb Joesting in 59 smashe- at the enemy.

Hundreds Wait Decision Hundreds¢ of undergraduates; waited last night outside the ath-) letic association office while the) board of control spent two hours and a half threshing out the matter. The feeling on-the Yale campus continued to be reflected by the words of Captain Bill Webster of the eleven: “This is the worst thing that could have happened to Princeton. It has made Yale fight.” Under rules adopted by Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, no player who competed in football at another col- lege is eligible for varsity teams. Alumni of Yale and of Yale's two big opponents as well as neutrals; have generally expressed opinions; that the rule is a technicality in! Caldwell’s case. i West Coast Service Teams Battle Today, San Francisco, Nov. 11.—)}— With expect: is of a crowd num- bering over 60,000. the Army asd) lavy service elever. of the west} coast faced each other today in their | !annual game at the Memorial sta- | jdium at Berkeley.

Bobby Marshall, 50, Still Plays Football’ Minneapolis, Nov, 11.—(4#)—They sometimes play baseball until they | are “fat and forty,” but Bobby Mar- 'shall is playing football at fifty.
