The two teams battled through four periods of stubborn defensive play with neither able to penetrate the goal of the other.

The netting would seem to indicate that the show will be full of action.

Interesting climaxes and startling performances. For real, intensive pressure it seems as though this eason will be outstanding. The Northwestern-Minnesota tilt it Evanston should be a high spot of the week-end in the Middle West. While Northwestern won at Wisconsin last Saturday, another such victory will probably leave Northwestern more or less helpless for the rest of the year. I look for Minnesota to take Northwestern, but only after the hardest fight.

Northwestern surprised even her fondest admirers by the power, pluck and poise that her eleven showed at Madison.

The blocked punt resulted in a touchdown and it was no difficult matter a moment later for the victors to make a 70-yard march for another score for a 13 to 0 victory. SOUTH HILLS LEADS. The triumph enabled South Hills to take the loop leadership for the present, with two victories and no defeats.

But they are now forced to face Oliver, Carrick and Langley the admiration and envy of football coaches the country over. When Pitt goes to work next Saturday afternoon at Lincoln, the Panthers will be facing a typical Nebraska aggregation. Medium-sized men will look like pigmies compared with Coach Bible's giants. For instance, the weight charts on the above lads read as follows: Bushie, 20S: Eno, 195; Gelbert, 200; Roy, 210; Broadstone, 208; Greenberg, 200. At this rate, a Nebraska line will weigh about three-quarters of a ton.

Above, left to right Bushie, end; Eno, tackle; Gelbert, guard; Roy, tackle. Below, left to right Broadstone, guard, and Greenberg, guard. For years University of Nebraska football squads have boasted more than their share of mastodons. There have been few Corn Husker elevens that were not composed largely of men who weighed 200 pounds, or more. And many of the young huskies grow as tall as the chief agricultural product of their state.

They are perfect physical specimens, lad clash tonight in the 10-round main bout of Francis Flynn's fistic show at Moose Temple in Penn when Benny Burns, Akron, welterweight, opposes Jimmy Belmont of Braddock. Burns is just home from a trip around the world, during which he annexed the welter championships of South Africa and Italy. Besides these accomplishments, the Akron boy has met and defeated some of the best men in his class in this country, and Belmont is likely to have his hands full this evening. Jimmy has been going along nicely of late, winning practically all of his bouts, and many of his Braddock friends will be on hand tonight to see him in action. In the semi-final, Hans Roberts of Germany will meet Marty Simmons, one of Walter Majeske's sparring partners.

Simmons is a hustling mauler, who can both give and take stay in the Big Ten race. It will be a terrific struggle of power gainst power and. with Bruder out, the edge goes to Minnesota. WISCONSIN HAS EDGE. The Notre Dame-Wisconsin game In Chicago should be quite a contest.

Notre Dame has the same team that Wisconsin beat, 22 to 6, year ago, with the exception that the Irish have lost their old back-field and two regular linemen, the only newcomer to the regulars being Brill at right half. Wisconsin has very much the lame team they had last year with the exception of Cusinier. So far Wisconsin has shown a great defense, but the offense outside of some fine passes by Lusby has not been very potent. On paper it looks like Wisconsin has superior weight, experience and power, and has a distinct edge. Notre Dame, if it SPORTS FROM ALL ANGLES on successive week-ends quite an assignment.

Incidentally, a defeat for either Carrick or Oliver now means certain elimination from any similar consideration. In the meantime, with the Section II schools furnishing another hectic schoolboy race, the Section SMOCK DETERMINED TO STOP WEST VIEW Continued from Page 62, Smock A. the next opponent for the West View gridmen at West circuit continues to run its course View Park Sunday, will have a bol- unobstructed by any obstacles.
