There are three other Big Ten games titis week but, barring the ,most improbable of upsets the engage- nent of most importance in title battle is between Northwestern and Purdue at Evanston. Michigan still is reeling from the blow by Navy but has demonstrated more than enough power to down Wis- consin Saturday and not lose a swift stride toward the championship. Il- noia is a favorite over Chicago but has at best an outside chance in the race. Minnesota has lost one Big Ten start and Iowa two. In a way Purdue has most to gain in Saturday's game. Once past the Purple the Boilermakers have only Indiana to defeat to present a flawless season record, anI Indiana has been vanquished thrice. Northwestern on the other hand, must down Purdue, Chicago and Iowa for a perfect Big Ten campaign.' Chicago bobbed back into the pic- tur today, despite a second successive conference defeat. Stagg roused his battered team to such heights Satur- day that powerful Ohio was stopped for half the game, and now they talk of the Maroon's rising to a new peak against'Illinois in the renewal of their moss-hung rivalry. At Minnesota, Doc Spears counted the injury of Peplaw as one of the costs of victory over Wisconsin and labored enthusiastically with a squad which, safely past Iowa in the week's encounter, will give Yost considerable worry before the Wolverines' return game with Minnesota two weeks hence. Pat Page surveyed the wreckage of Northwestern's visit for a team to throw in the path of Notre Dame in a non-conference tilt. At Ohio everything is pointing to the Michigan clash a week away, in anticipation of which Wilce is giving his brilliant team a week-end's rest. NOTRE DAME MA Y JOIN CONFERENCE' (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Notre Dame's looming again as a National football titlist is the occasion for a revival of the question of Notre Dame's admis- sion to the Big Ten. Today it way reported that five of the six votes necessary for the ac- tion are assured when the faculty re- presentatives of the Western confer- ence meet here in executive session Nov. 26 and 27. . For many season, Rockne has ob- -served all the conference rules for his teams which can usually find Mid- west, competition of interesting calib only in the Big Ten.r'i The admission of Notre Dame is taken to carry with it the enlargement of the conference to the Big Twelve, the desirable even numbers being ac- hieved by voting in of Michigan state, which has been campaigning in the east this fall. The readmission of Michigan in 1917, after an eleven years' absence, was the last change in the historic athletic circle. SOUTH BEND, Nov. 2.-"Knute" Rockne was apathetic today to reports from Chicago that Notre Dame was to be invited to join the Big Ten athle- tic conference. "I haven't heard any Big Ten talk around here for eight or nine years," said Rockne. "What's the point in our joining the Big Ten anyway?" Notre Dame fans opine that Rockne has all the Big Ten games, with the exception of Michigan, that he wants, regardless of membership, and figure that a membership might or might not bring the Wolverines to amic- able relationship with the local school. As matters stand now the Notre Dame schedule usually calls for two or three Big Ten games each year, ordinarily with the strongest conten- ders. Michigan always has refused to play Notre Dame, but the other nine member's are on friendly relations with the South Bend school. There is a possibility that the Nor- wich university polo team will open the indoor season with a series of matches in' New York during the Tbanksgiving vacation.

PRINCETON TEAM STRENGTHENED BY SLAGLE'S RETURN TO LINEUP II 1 1 "Tiny" Pogue Stanford university fullback wh o is confronted with the difficult task of filling the shoes of Ernie Nevers, stellar backfield star of last season. Nevers was unanimously called the g reatest line plunger in the country in 1925. The Stanford eleven downed the Southern California team Saturday, thus ranking them as one of the be st teams on the Pacific coast. Pogue has been one of the mainstays in a great driving attack. The showing of the Stanford team takes away much of the glory of those aggregations undefeated throughout the country this year.

Simpson Coach Yost held the Varsity foot- ball practice behind closed gates yes- terday, and announced that all ses- sions this week would be secret. Wis- consin always plays a great game against Michigan and Yost intends to be prepared for everything George Little has to offer. Little knows every play Michigan has used in the last five years and isn't likely to be trick- ed. Friedman foxed him with his forward passing play on the first down but it is a safe wager that it will not work Saturday. After the Illinois defeat twoI years ago, Coach Yost made a shake-up in the team and it is likely that he will make a few changes after last Saturday's game. The Michigan line played as seven individual players against the Navy, lacking the drive and team work of last year's line. Coach Wieman has a lot of good reserve material on the bench and can afford to make a few changes if the regulars show any signs of slowing up. Competition for plac- es on the first team is too keen for a man to hold a regular posi- tion on his past reputation. Sid Dewey, a 195 pound guard with4 three years of experience, is avail- able and will undoubtedly be used ' more after his showing during the last quarter of the Navy game. Grinnell, who weighs over 190 pounds and who is one of the strongest men on the' squad, has been' getting into the game lately and may draw a position in the opeging lineup soon. Squier is not troubled with his ankle and will be ready for service against Wisconsin. Oade, a letter man from last year's team, is waiting for a chance at tackle and Rose, a new man, is also considered a good sub- stitute. If there is any shake-up in the backfield, the change will be at left halfback. Gilbert Is certain to retain his place at right half- back, earning that right by his brilliant punting and open field running. Gilbert, of the zig-zag hips, has been Michigan's only consistent ground gainer on off tackle plays and on 'nd runs. Friedman will plot the team from quarterback, but may be shifted to halfback on the defense. The Wolverine captain is a deadly tackler and could be used up close to the line to good advantage. If Yost feels that the other backs can catclh punts, the change is a likely one. Molenda will stay at fullback and do his duty behind the line. He is listed as a fullback, but plays every- thing from manager to guard during the game. Left halfback has been the floating position on the team all sea- son and it is almost time to settle it. Greenwald, Rich, Cook, and Babcock have all taken a try at it, but to date, it is always a toss up as to who will start. Last year Weber started at halfback against the Minnesota team,, and may be given another chance. Weber was used primarily to bolster the line and did a splendid job. It is not at all improbable to suppose that Weber will play halfback.
