SUff CotreapondenU Chicago, midwest ootball fans were still talking excitedly In Strang' tongues over Saturday's "surprising upsets," less emotional eoachs and players today were outlining tn strategy that will lead this week-end to greater glory or to more "surprU mg upsets." If a tonic to stimulate enthusiasm over next Saturday's card is needed one has only to consider tha Notrw Dame-Minnesota encounter which if scheduled for 8oldlers" Field, Chicago.

OHIO STATE SNATCHES VICTORY FROM CHICAGO Columbus. Oct 31. Ohio Stat -snatched victory away from Chicago here Saturday. 13 to ,7, on a 60-yard forward pass in the last period.

Oranae recovered Fucklewarts punt Garland Orange on the Michigan 7-yard line, one play Michigan was defeated a long and run by Hmm behind perfect inter- ference, scoring around left end. Michigan was only In the ball game once after this, and then was forced out again, while Illinois, led by a douehtv vourur lineman of tha name of Crane, who had cracked the Wolverine line with ease and regularity, broke through on Miller In this instance and blocked a punt, which In the ensuing scramble for recovery rolled over the goal line, where Schults dropped on It. Noweck, the mini tackle, kicked both goals from placement Statistics usually are the basis for an alibi in these upsets, but today they reveal only more conclusively how decisively Michigan was beaten. Illinois gained 111 yards through the Michigan line and 34 yards around end.

while Michigan's efforts were confined to 95 yards by line plays and a loss of 6 yards around the ends. In the matter of first downs, jn which so many fans decide ball games, Ullnds made ten by straight football and one by the pass route. To match this Michigan weighed In with four first downs on running plays and two via the overhead method. Tet Michigan will find consolation in the fact that Ollbert, one of the great est players In the western conference, who probably contributed more toward Michigan's victory last week against Ohio Bute than any other individual In conference competition for some time, was not In the game at Crane. any time.

Shortly before the kickoff It was announced by the sideline crier that he "had been Informed by a Michigan representative that Ollbert had undergone an operation on an Infected elbow scarcely one hour and a half before the game. He may or msy not play." Michigan's goal line, the only one In the conference which had not been crossed up to Saturday, was twice Invaded Saturday by the Illlni, and those fourteen points are the only ones against the Wolverines all season. Chicago, which shared the conference leadership with Michigan a week ago, now shares runner-up position with the Wolverines. Northwestern and Ohio State have both had an even break In games. The Illlni have Iowa, Chicago and Ohio State to beat before they can close the season victorious, while Minnesota has but one more Big Ten foe, the Michigan eleven.

Before that final game, though, the Oophers tackle Notre Dam and Drake. AIMAUIST YET LEADS AS HIGH POINT GETTER Intfrnatienal Nwt atrvlct. Chicago, Oct. 31. 8horty Almqulst, fleet Minnesota back, still held a comfortable margin today as hith-potnt -man among the stars of the Big Ten 0 conference.

"We have won over teams thst should have beaten us and a game like Saturday's probably evens things up. We played In two games last year In which neither team was able to score. This year we defeated HUlsboro.

This may be a good omen because we play Urbana next Saturday." The Mattoon-Hlllsboro game last year ended 0-0. The Mattoon-Urbana game ended 0-0 last year. The' game between Mattoon and Urbana at Urbana next Saturday will be a battle for "Wood." Mattoon will go into the affray smarting under the defeat administered Saturday when a lucky interception of a pass and an eighty-yard run enabled Champaign to make a touchdown and win. Urbana will go Into the game stung by its defeat by Danville Saturday, Danville having blasted the conference hopes of Urbana. Mattoon outplayed Champaign Saturday, making thirteen first downs to Champaign's three.

Mattoon may not have Horsley in this week's practice, which means he may not be in the game with Urbana Saturday, He was at school today, but the buffeting he received In Saturday's game has almost Incapacitated him.

Knute Rockne must work on the theory that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. In compiling the annual football schedule for Notre Dame. Each year, the famous coach of the "Fighting Irish" tackles a schedule that would be the cause of grave concern for the average mentor, but not Rockne.

In the west, Notre Dame takes on two elevens from the Western conference group, Minnesota and Indiana. Annapolis and West Point are met in the east. Rockne has already added the Navy to his list of victims and expects to do likewise with the Army. If Notre Dame goes thro nth such a schedule, which Includes the cream from every section of the country, Rockne will have good grounds for claiming the national title. Qalta Pro Football.

A chance to become a sure enough big leaguer has apparently caused Walter French of the Philadelphia Athletics to cut down on professional football. I note where he has signed to assist In coaching football at Swarthmore. French gained fame in football and baseball at West Point Connla Mack signed him because of his proficiency in the latter. For a couple of years French did little more than warm the bench as a big leaguer. In the fall he annually switched to professional football.

A year ago, he suffered a shoulder Injury that for a time threatened to seriously handicap his career as a bis leaguer. When the trouble mended he got a chance to work as a regular for the Athletics and won his spurs last season. His batting Now with a chance to become a major league star, French has apparently decided the chances taken ht football are not In keeping with the possibillttai offered in baseball. Loas of Star Hurts. Brown, after several years of great success on the gridiron, appears to be In for one of those bad years, that come every so often In any line of sport.

In the first two big games of the year, Brown, with much the same lineup that was the sensation of college football last season, has twice been defeated. With a hard schedule ahead, more reverses are no doubt in order. Dartmouth, which has had a couple of ordinary years, since the departure of Oberlander. seems about ripe for big season. In the early games, the Oreen team has shown great strength.

It will soon be put to the acid test. While the failures of Dartmouth in the last few years may not be due entirely to the loss of Oberlander, there is no doubt but that the coaches, who had built much of their play around him, keenly felt his absence. The loss of one outstanding star of the ability of Oberlander, who excelled In all departments of play, makes a problem for the head eoach. Bob Zap-pke of Illinois will tell yoa he has missed "Red" Grange a trifle. WINDSOR YOUTH HELD FOR MISTREATING GIRL Shelbyvllle.

111., Oct 31. Paul Her-ron, 18, of Windsor was brought back from Eaton, Friday evening by Deputy Sheriff Watson, being charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Herron and Harriet Duncan, 15, also of Windsor, disappeared about a week ago. They were traced to Eaton, and their detention followed. Deputy Watson was accompanied to Ohio by Ray Duncan, guardian of the girl.

Herron was found 'painting a barn eight miles west of Eaton and the Duncan girl was working In a glove factory In Eaton. Herron was taken before Justice J. C. Willard where his bond was fixed at $300. The Duncan girl refused to return to Illinois and in company with her guardlcn she went to Alliance, to visit John Duncan.

BRILLIANT PASSING ATTACK WINS FOR MISSOURIANS Chicago, Oct 31.

After the way the boys played tor a while last season. Griff probably figures he can spare one comedian. Jimmy De Forrest says a prizefighter's training is mere' valuable than a football player's, and there is no gainsaying that the pugs make better bookkeepers.

Since Hurry-Up Yost Is taking a vacation as Michigan's coach this year, about the worst trick that could be played on him would be for Td Wie-man, his substitute, to win the Big Ten championship. The prospective new owners of' the Cleveland ball club say they care nothing about making money if they can produce a winning team, and the gentleman In the back of the hall, who is uttering sarcastic noises will please get up and leave. Walter French has sacrificed professional football for his ambition to make good as an outfielder on the Athletics, and there was a tune last season when Connie Mack was praying for fewer dropklckers. Arthur Brisbane says there never was a greater opportunity than now for a young man to make a name for himself. One way that occurs to us is tor some sophomore at Leland Stanford to a freshman named Fidel La Bar 'ba,.
