Since then the Boilermakers - despite their famed runnings backs, Lou Brock and Jack Brown (rated second to Michigan's Harmon and Kromer)- have been defeated by Santa Clara and tied by Minnesota. They still have a chance for the Big Ten championship should Michigan or Ohio State fumble- provided they beat Iowa, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Indiana in the next four weeks...

Considered only fair-to-middling at the start of the season, the Buckeyes sprang the surprise of the Big Ten when they conquered touted North western three weeks ago and followed it by beating Minnesota. In downtown Columbus' Broad & High quarterbacks stopped heckling Coach Francis Schmidt even after the Bucks were defeated 23-to-14 by Ivy Leaguer Cornell last week, began to count the days until November...

"We are a big joke in the eyes of the American...

It has a machine shop and a photographic darkroom, can carry an airplane on its back. Rolling on four retractable, rubber-tired wheels ten feet in diameter, it cruises at 10 m.p.h. (top speed 25 m.p.h.), can straddle and cross crevasses 15 ft. wide...
