games will be the Northwest-Notre Dame meeting at Evanston. There By DICK HACKENBERG The trials and triumphs of WHEN MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN MEET in their annual football battle, past performances, paper dope and everything else can be tossed out of the window. A favorite doesn't mean much in this struggle. It's a cat-and-dog fight most of the time, with the favorite seldom winning if the rivals are evenly matched. Tomorrow at Madison, the Badgers and the Gophers will be playing for big stakes, nothing less than the 1938 Western Conference championship.

The Badgers have been made a slight favorite to win, but that was the case back in 1928 when the Wisconsin boys were in a position to grab No. 1 honors in the Big Ten. THE GOPHERS WON. The way the dope sizes up, Wisconsin must be given the offensive edge because of a little more I speed, a stronger passing game and a trifle more 'M durability. Minnesota, on its performances, is the stronger of the two defensively.

Mentally and psychologically, both teams should be on a par. If anything, the Badgers may be keyed up a little too high for their own good. No one can be blamed for that. Ever since they beat gers beat the Blackhawks at Chi is another close one. The Wildcats bounced back from their Wisconsin defeat to hold Michigan to a the missionary in dissenting sectors of this earthly sphere are fraught with cago last night, 1-0.

Detroit broke into the winning column for the first time, beating tyro the Canadiens at Montreal, 7-1, GREAT SPOT FOR A TIE! St. Marys (lexas) 19, Louisiana Col lege fl.

Manhattan 7, West Virginia A. 4 Northwestern, they have been thinking of no one but Minnesota. They may work themselves into such a frenzy that they can't play their normal ball. There is just an outside chance of this, but it has happened in college football before and the setup is perfect for a duplication tomorrow. What's bothering Minnesota rooters is how many times, if at all, their team can score.

They haven't done very well so far. George Franck's speed is a possibility for a touchdown tomorrow. Van Every has indicated all week that he's about ready to reach his Ralph Moeller, pictured here, will be a serious source of worry to Minnesota's Gophers- Saturday afternoon when Wisconsin plays host at Camp Randall field. Moeller, who plays left end, ranks as one of the best offensive figures in the Badger lineup. A 200-pountler, he stands six feet, one inch tall.

Superb on offense, Moeller also ranks well up in defensive circles. He played a big part in holding back the last Saturday as Wisconsin won. heights against the Irish. I simply have to string along with Notre Dame on their past performances, but I will not be surprised no matter what happens. Then we have Michigan and Ohio State.

I don't know much about the Buckeyes. My scouts tell me they have looked real good one Saturday and then gone into reverse the following week. Ohio was hitting on all cylinders to romp over Illinois by a more decisive score than any other team has hung up on Zuppke all season. However, this is one game Crisler and Michigan will want to win. Both clubs will be at their full strength physically and I'm picking the Wolverines.

An Indiana-Purdue game always is the No. 1 attraction every season for both teams. You can toss out past performances and everything else when they meet. The Boilermakers, however, appear to have too much class to lose this one, but keep in mind the fact that the favorite seldom comes out on top when the Old Oaken Bucket is at stake. I look for Nebraska to score its second victory of the year over Iowa.

Illinois and Chicago finish up with their traditional battle, but it looks like another defeat for the Maroons. Zuppke has too many men with too much class to lose this one. VAN EVERY IF HE DOES, LOOK top form again. We have a hunch he will, Disciple of the legitimate body check, Ching Johnson carried the gospel Of big time hockey into Kansas City last night, departed therefrom today with a two-inch gash above his right eye and a 2 to 1, four-overtime triumph for his Minneapolis Millers over the Greyhounds. Oscar Hanson's goal after two minutes of the fourth extra period gave the Millers the decision in the LONGEST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN HOCKEY ASSOCIATION! Normal playing time of a complete game: one hour.

Time of last night's marathonic struggle: one hour and 32 minutes! Ching's injury occurred late in the second period. Yip Radley, burly Hound defenseman, steamed down the ice. Ching met him at the blue line, sent him sprawling with a hard, CLEAN check, turned to skate away. Radley leaped to his feet, sped after Ching, started to belabor the Miller coach about the head with bin stick. Johnson whirled to meet the attack, caught Yip's stick across the right eye.

Blood streamed from the ugly wound, and Ching went to the dressing room for repairs. He returned to the ice at the start of the third period, his head swathed in bandages. Midway in the session he retired again to have several stitches taken, returned once more to finish out the battle. Radley drew a five-minute major penalty for the assault, but he got Harry Ferguson Picks Wisconsin By HARRY FERGUSON Michigan-Ohio State Michigan has a slight bulge in one of the great games of the day, Notre Daine-Northwestern This may be the spot where Notre Dame gets it in the neck, but you've got to string with the Irish until the scores come in. Purdue-Indiana Purdue easily.

Minnesota-Wisconsin Great spot for a tie or maybe a Wisconsin victory. Illinois-Chicago Illinois by a score from here to the dressing room. Nebraska-Iowa Nebraska has an edge in a game between two disappointing teams. Oi'Vjf'', ''w-i i UCLA offense UCLA offense OUT BADGERS. Wilbur Moore, although very tired from a most strenuous season, is about due to do some running for long distances, and Larry Buhler is generally good every Saturday.

Don't overlook Marty Christiansen, either. Given a prolonged chance, he may be full of dynamite. The Badgers have Schmitz, Bellin and Weiss as their offensive threats with the latter the No. 1 man, one who must be stopped cold by the Minnesota line to give the Bierman crowd a chance to win. Wisconsin figures to score at least once.

That means the Gophers will have to get two touch downs. Can they? All Minnesota rooters are wondering if their own boys will bounce back from the Notre Dame licking and turn loose another REAL ball game. That remains to be seen although those graduating seniors would like nothing better than to carry two gold footballs around for many years to come as evidence that they accomplished some big Hockey Results things on the gridiron when they were youngsters. From a Minnesota physical condition may tell the fP' 1 pi Hi 1 i "rL story. Such men as Faust, Van Every and Moore aren't tops going into this game.

If they should be knocked out early, the game could easily develop into a rout for the home boys. Frankly, we are very much afraid of the outcome tomorrow. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Minneapolis Kansas City, 1. Tulsa, St. Paul, 2.

THAT MAKES US LEAN TOWARD THE BATTLING GOPHERS. It's one of those battles where one can come just as close to picking the winner by tossing a coin as trying to figure the outcome on the dope. We are frank in admitting that the Minnesota outlook isn't any too bright. BUT WE JUST CAN'T GIVE UP ON THESE BIERMAN BOYS who have made so much of their limited ability as well as handicaps that have popped up in one form or another. tr tSt Straightening the Records for Ahern yHE FOLLOWING LETTER was dropped on our desk today just be-fore we headed for Milwaukee with the Gophers.

It was signed by J. J. Ahern, chairman of the State Athletic commission: "You told your readers Wednesday night you testified at Tuesday's meeting of the Athletic commission that you heard Secretary Jimmy Waters use the word 'EXCLUSrVE' when he read Tommy O'Lough-M's application for a renewal of his boxing franchise at the April 25 Buhler Second in Playing Time done even the durable Larry Buhler in football longevity.

Kansas City sources call this the Greyhounds' best defensive exhibi meeting of the commission. You did not tell them that the letter was produced at the meeting Tuesday and that the word 'exclusive' didn't appear in it. Why tell half a story? "Your readers might be interested in knowing that the word 'EXCLUSIVE appears in the commission's official records in relation tion of the year.

If so, it heralds the start of a new era in the Mill to the amateur boxing franchise granted The Minneapolis Star and that the word 'exclusive' doesn't appear anywhere except in the news ers' offensive.

Next in line is Buhler, who has 335 minutes, then John Mariucci, who has been credited with 320. The current Gophers are the "iron men" of the Bierman regime.

Only two players, John Kul-bitskl, reserve center, who has 09 minutes, and Bob Bjorcklund, sophomore end, who has 86, can pass the 100-mark.

If the word "INADVERTENTLY" doesn't cover the case, we'll have to start all over.

THERE ARE SOME REPORTS THAT THE IRISH HAVE COME UP WITH A NUMBER OF CASES OF ENLARGED HEADS AFTER THE MINNESOTA GAME, but that shouldn't cause Layden too many worrisome moments with all the fine reserves (84 dressed last Saturday.) Of course, even Notre Dame players aren't immune to this dreaded athletic disease. Northwestern couldn't score from the one-yard line against Michigan. They'll be up against a better line in Notre Dame than the one they couldn't penetrate at Michigan.

Of course, the Irish haven't as much scoring punch as a great team like theirs should have, but certainly more than the Wildcats. We'd hate to have a team of Notre Dame's all around class as LITMAN SLATED FOR EXHIBITION banged the water into the lace.
