Although Ohio Wesleyan failed again Saturday to realize- its nge-old ambition of beating Ohio State, it showed so wWl against its big ten opponents that, le game was ever in doubt until the final gun stopped play at a 10 to 3 count in favor of the Wilse-men. Ohio State, completely outplayed offensively and defensively in the first half, rallied in the latter periods and copped the victory.

Every moment of the way the contest was bitterly fought and except for one brilliant march down the field in the third period with a diversified attack, Ohio State showed nothing that the battling Bishops did not have. Ohio State suffered a heavy loss in the Injury, which has put Bill Hunt, quarterback out of the game for the season.

Classy open field running featured the contest, "two of Minnesotas touchdowns coming on SO and 55 yard runs.

Almquist nhd Nydahl thrilled the crowd with several long runs. Dr. Clarence W.

The Gophers scored their last touchdown on 1 veral wagers made at odds of six to live in Wall street.

At least part of this switch in opinion undoubt edly is due to the somewhat alarming, reports of the last few days concerning the condition of several of Washingtons stars. Bakers of the Senators have been given a few chills by announcements which picture Stanley Covelskie star right hander, suffering from back strain, Roger Peckinpaugh, veteran shortstop, sustaining fresh Injury to his weak ankle: Stanley Harris still experiencing trouble with a wounded digit; and Walter Johnson not entirely recovered from an attack of Influenza and a leg Injury. Mishaps thus have hit at the very backbone of Washingtons offensive and defensive strength. Their importance is discounted by observers who ore confident the Senators will have their full strength in the opening battle, bnt-their effect, nevertheless, has been to cast a bit of uncertainty over the champions prospects. ball is clearing its decks for the final drama of the season the worlds scries between Pittsburgh and Washington, that starts next Wednesday in the Pirates stronghold.

In contrast with the situation a year ago, when the excite meut of the rival campaigns was kept at fever pitch almost to the final day. this seasons finishes hate been devoid of thrills and permitted fandom to concentrate its speculation on the inn Its of the rival champion contenders. Marking a reversal opinion prevailed a week ago, expert circles tonight apparently has established the Pirates as favorites to take baseballs premier crown from Buc-ky Harris and his veteran Washington crew.
