GALLATI ln1rtmtHiat rAHt SjMWft Vrittt CHICAGO. Nov. 21 Mlnnrsota at Wisconsin, Ohio State at Illinois, Chicago at Michigan, Indiana at Purdue, Notre Dame at Northwest em and Nebraska at Iowa. This was th lineup today as 10 Western conference football elevens prepared to ring down the curtain on the 1930 season.

The battle may decide the myih Wisconsin and Minnesota, two leal national championship as some elevens with potential power, but critic view it, but at any rate the Mine win produce a choice bit of football for the ,000 who win crowd the stadium, Neither team hat met defeat In a hard season and both have walked off with decisive victories.

SI Notre Dame's scoring machine continued to rule a two to one favorite todav to take the measure of Nortbvrslrrn at Pyche stadium tomorrow afternoon. Vagera as high at 112.000 were rrrortcd here.

Today the bir ballyhoo is North western and omt folks would have one believe that Knute Rockne and Whst About S. M. Southern Methodist, Pitt, Carnegie Tech nd Pcnn were the great threats of the Irish so much heralded earlier this year, yet the records thow that with the exception ot Southern Methodist, a team publicly. It not privately, the least feared of all, the mighty challengers for immortality were stopped cold in rather tame fashion. Indeed, throwing out the game against the Mustangs, which Rockne't men matched coming from behind.

Notre Dame has not yet been forced to Its full power and reportolre and the chances, In this writer's opinion, are that the Purple team will not Violently extend the Irish. It would not be smashing sur prise to tee Notre Dame defeat Northwestern by a healthy score If the Evanston players tall to show more in the first half of the game than they did In the opening quarters last week. A Notre Dame victory by a goodly margin looks more likely than a. Purple triumph by a single point. We think the margin of victory scored by Notre Dame may be extremely Impressive.

Almost Certain Winner The Irish stand out at the most probable winner In the entire country's ctrd of major battles tomorrow, for at New Haven an apparently undergrade aggregation from hat a chance to thrill to tradition and past Itself to victory over what looks like more powerful Yale eleven. It the New England classic It strictly an air game, the Crimson should win.

Indiana, and Iowa vt. Nebraska are the day's guessing contests. Kansas may win from Missouri, although the latter team has shown fine development at the season progressed. S. ML V.

Arm well timed rest befort Share Crown Are Defeated The weather man Is being kind to Notre Dame's Ramblers, for cool, crisp weather with little possibility of rain la predicted. Thus the fast breaking IrUh attack can function unhindered by mud and rain. It looks like Notre Dame' day. Wisconsin Minnesota Michigan, the only other unbeaten conference team besides Northwest em, must vanquish the much trammeled Chicago eleven In order to claim half the pennant which Northwestern has won.

THREE GRIDIRON TEAMS OF CITY WIND UP TODAY Panthers Meeting Warrens burg, Bears at Cape Girardeau Three Springfield football teams were slated to wind up their 1930 gridiron campaigns today, The Panthers of Drury college, always touted as strong finishers, were scheduled to meet the Mules of Warrensburg Teachers college on the Drury gridiron this afternoon it 2:30 o'clock in tn interconference attraction. Sprlngfieldlant will remember Drury't "Garrison finish'" last season when Tom Talbot ran wild and th Panthers turned back the Rolla Miners, and this talk of dynamlta finales on the part of Drury'a eleven may prove more than Just a hunch.

Warrensburg it favored, however.

Not in many years ha such a furore been kicked up over eligi bility rules. Five backfteld stars, four of thrm candidates for All America honors, have been In jr volved. Jumping I i Jn fUvnlrii the! i Notre Dame Thunderbolt; Cy Letielter of the Army and 6eorge Klrkwood of the University of Macaiuso Southern California were barred for good and sufficient reasons.

Two More Vndrr Fire The other two luminaries who cam under fire were Len Macaiuso, Colgate battering ram and the east's leading high scorer, and "Jar ring Jim" Bausch of the University of Kansas. There two are still In uniform, but the smoke of the controversy lingers over the gridiron hortron. Midterm examinations, the usual cause of ineligibility, did not play a part in any of the five cases. 8a voldl, lacking the taciturnity of Red Cagle, wat unable to keep his marriage a secret. Bausch, the atormy petrel of the Big Six conference, it virtually responsible for the 'Unl verity of Kansas being ruled out of the conference at the end of the two games as a freshman at Col rate, which would make him In eligible under the three year rule, gave the explanation that a teammate had borrowed his sweater, resulting In an error In the summary.

Klrkwood the Best But It remained for Klrkwood, the U. 8. C. halfback, to win the fur lined bathtub. Klrkwood, it seems, wat merely the young man's nom de gridiron, he having been christened Spencer Klrkwood Purvis.

He has been identified as the Purvis who played football for two years at the College of Puget Sound. The hullabaloo of the U. S. C. California squabble is the greatest aroused on the coast since charges were made several years ago that Washington coaches were recruiting football stars from longshoremen and lumberjacks.
