ONLY ONE GAME IN CONFERENCE 10 BE TOSS-UP Underdogs Taking Long Prac- tice Sessions in Effort to . Bolster Squads CHICAGO HIT BY INJURIES Undefeated Buckeyes Given Big Edge Over Michigan Eleven Chicago, Oct. 19.—() —So dis- tinct are the odds in favor of three teams that old man upset, the mythical gentleman who has \ao formed frequently on the gridiron so far this season, will have an op- portunity for a big afternoon in the Big Ten tomorrow. Of the four conference games, only the Indiana-Illinois contest is as a toss-up by critics. Even in that game considerable sur- prise would be evoked if the Hooser- ies beat the Illini for the first time instance, the underdog eleven has worked long and hard hours in practice this week to ac- complish the seemingly impossible, and coaches at Minnesota, Wiscon- sin and Ohio State have put on their glummest miens to forestall over- confidence, Minnesota Improves Blocking Their ranks thinned by injuries and their morale lowered somewhat by defeats by South Carolina and Towa, Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg and his University of Chicago Ma- roons invaded Minnesota today with defeat regarded as a forenons con- clusion, Captain Saul Weislow, a dependable tackler; Rudy Leyers, star fullback; Wayne Cassle, guard and place kicker, and Joe Garen, pudgy tackle, were so badly injured they weren’t even taken to Minne- -apolis, while several of the other Minnesota, however, was virtually free of injuries and showed yast im- birt in blocking and running to attract 92,000 spec- Wisconsin Favorite - Wisconsin’s 22 to 6 victory over Notre Dame has made it a favorite over a tight defeme.

Now it is Don Williams, said to be as good as Kaer and Drury, and who is the man to stop if Southern California is to be beaten on the gridiron this year. Under the Jones system of advanc- ing the ball, Williams will be carrying it most of the time from his posi- tion. The only fault Trojan officials see in Williams is that he plays about twice as hard as the average player and wears himself out. SEABOARD FOOTBALL FANS FLOCK TO.

It not only would be too bad for Dundee but it would be terrible for him if one past performance was true enough to shoot the works on. In their one previous meeting Thompson flattened the champion and was deprived of the title only by the precaution of Dundee’s man- ager, who had made the negro come in over weight. Past performances are good in- dications. Men who try to beat the races depend almost entirely upon the conclusions they arrive at by a study of what a horse has done pre- viously under similar conditi But they try to strike an aver by making allowances for peculiar conditions and circumstances. And in striking that’ aver: you fre- quently hear them say—“You can throw that race out.” And the smart boxing men who want to do a little wagering on the return match between Dundee and Thompson will throw out that first heat, between the pair in Chicago and reach their conclusions on what is shown in the previous perform- ances of the champion and his chal- lenger. Dundee’s Record Better Dundee’s record shows that he has been a better fighter than Thompson in spite of all the panning tossed at him for his zeal in protecting the title. In the fashion of a good busi. ness man he has done his best to avoid the toughest of his rivals until he could get real important money for fighting them, He was not or- iginal in the exercise of this caution. He only copied the other champions. There is also in his record some- thing that. makes him; look pretty eaiae he approaches what looks fice an awful tough spot.

He Socked Roberts Roberts knocked Dundee out in the first round and Dundee hardly ad come around when he said he wanted that guy again and quick. He insisted upon a return match and in a short time he got Roberts back in with ‘him for a ten-rounder and gave him a good beating. Young Corbett, who died last year, was the only prominent boxer, who scored a sensational victory over a high ranking fighter and made good the same way in a return bout. He startled the country. when he knocked out the great Terry McGovern and he knocked Terry out the second time when McGovern tried to prove that his first victory was a fluke, Billy Facke scored a sensational ictory over Stanley Ket- chell and ten weeks later Ketchell knocked Papke out in a return bout. Sammy Baker, the former army sergeant, who is right up there want- ing a title fight with the winner of the Dundee-Thompson fight, also figured in one of the same kind of Baker caused a big surprise early in 1927 when he kpocked out Ace Hudkins, the highly-touted western Petter, He cut up Hudkins so badly it the referee stopped the fight but there was no question that he would have finished the job if the fight had continued.

D., Oct. 19.— Everything is in readiness at Grand Forks to take care of Saturday's Homecoming football crowd, which officials expect will number 10,000 The two rival teams—South Dakota State and the University of North Dakota—are both undefeated, the first time in history thi North Dakota Homecoming classic has been able to feature two un- beaten elevens. South Dakota State is bringing 33 players to Grand Forks from Brookings, one more than Coach Jack West is able to muster from his entire university squad. The Jackrabbits will outweigh the No- daks and in addition figures show that they will have a decided edge With all of these factors in mind, critics are making them favorites in Saturday’s tussle. Many good seats are still unsold at Grand Forks and ticket officials state that latecomers will be taken care of in Memorial Stadium. People who get a thrill from foot- ball are looking forward to the bat- tle which Wert Englemann—State’s 185 pound speed king, will stage with Jarrett and Schave, flashy North Dakota sophomore halfbacks. Undoubtedly these gre the three fastest backfield men in the North Central Conference and what they do Saturday will be of considerable moment when All-Conference elev- ens are picked in November. be no radio accounts of the game accordin; West, who figures that broadcasti: from Grand Forks interferes wit! accumulating crowds, ern Pacific and Great Northern rail- roads have granted fare and a third rates from all points in the state to and from the game and officials feel that many visitors will take ad- vantage of this offer.

The game was played under ade verse conditions, a cold wind sweep- ing the field which made hurts more severe than on a warm day. The seconds started off with a flurry, Green going over for a touch- down early in the first quarter. Two touchdowns were scored in the sec- ond quarter, the half ending with the score 20 to 0, The local men scored four touch- downs in the last half. The light Hazelton outfit proved no match for the reserves, time and again being thrown for losses or no gain, but they put up an excellent fight. The line of the reserve outfit was particularly outstanding, making bi holes in the opponents’ wall ai holding closely on the defensive. Green was the strongest man on the seconds’ backfield, being responsible for most of the big gains.
