Football was the chief topic of con- versation on Northwestern campus this week as the students made ready to tourney in a special train to Iowa City to root for the team in a game which if won will give the Purple the championship or at least a tie for first honors. At the present time North- western and Michigan are tied for first place. Pile Up 168 Points Coach Thistlethwaite has brought his Purple clad warriors through the present season in fine style. With the exception of the Notre Dame game the Wildcats won all their games with top heavy scores. The Purple piled up 168 points to their opponents' 16 points in all the games played this season.

The defeat of Chicago last Saturday while generally expected was not doped to be such a run away for the | Purple. From the opening kick off {which Vic Gustafson ran back for a | touchdown to the final gun the superi- ority of the Purple was never in ques- tion. After the Wildcats had piled up 31 points, the Maroons staged a be- {lated rally and pushed over a touch- down but later the Wildcats came | |back and got another. As usual the Purple line was im- | pregnable and it was only by the for- | ward passing route that Stagg's boys could do a thing. However, in this [style of play the Wildcats showed [their superiority. They passed all |over the field, one of Baker's passes to | Fisher being hurled a distance of 50 yards. Capt. Baker played one of the great- est games of his career. He passed, kicked and ran with the ball with all of his usual effectiveness. The domin- ating feature of his work, however, was his passing. He tossed the ball 11 times and six of the passes were successful. Once he chose to receive one from Gustafson and ran that one over for a touchdown. Our Newest Creation in Modern Memorials J. H.
