Purdue, champion of the big ten, has double riveted its place in the top group by' finishing the season with a enn and imnress ve ate or eifffir, victories put jriunuurini in the east, Notre Dame in the mid west, Tennessee and Tin lane in the south, Texas Christian in tne souinwesi ana at. Mary's on the Pacific coast, all stake their title aspirations important battles this weeK. None of these team nas tasted oeaung raumwum mm defeat or tie, except St. Mary's, which was held to a scoreless dead lock by California but nevertheless remains as the outstanding team on the Pacific coast so far as the records are concerned, since Stanford's 21 6 defeat of California scrambled the big conference race In the far west.

On Thanksgiving day, Plttsburah will seek to clinch its claim to the eastern championship as well as the bid for national honors by conquering Penn State. In the south, Tennessee will tackle Kentucky and Tulane will oppose Louisiana State to determine perhaps the final South ern conference rating. Nebraska, by defeating Iowa State in another holiday tilt, can clinch the Big Six crown once more.

On the coast, Bt.

Mary'a must beat Oregon to keep 6t the top of the heap. Southern California, by defeating Washington State, can claim at least a percentage edge In the Pacific Coast conference race. Victory would give the Trojans six triumphs out of seven conference games. Stanford has finished with five out of six and California with four out of five. It wns a stand off so far as the big three was concerned, California losing to Stanford but beating Southern California which had previously trimmed Stanford.

For the second straight year, Harvard has closed an ln and out season by downing IU ancient rival, Yale. The Ells were favorites, on the strength of previous conquests over Brown, the Army, Dartmouth and Princeton, but when it came to the final showdown, the crimson forwards outplayed their blue rivals and Barry Wood gained the verdict over Aible Booth in the battle of sophomore backfleld stars, 10 to 6.
