Ohio State will invade the Orange and Blue stronghold with one of the strongest teams in its history. The Buckeyes have defeated Northwestern, Michigan and Indiana, and tied Prince- ton, losing only to the powerful Iowa team. The Princeton game, which re- sulted 6-6, was played a week previous to the Iowa game and some Ohio State followers believe that its closeness to the Hawkeye clash deprived the Buck- eyes of their full strength. Ohio State possesses one of the greatest running backs in the Big Ten in Eby. Raskowski, all-American tackle, and Barratt, 236-pound sopho- more center, are lineman of fame. This is probably the last encounter of Dr. Jack Wilce as an Ohio State coach and Bob Zuppke of Illinois, whose rivalry has been keen since 1914, Dr. Wilce has announced his retire- ment at the close of the season. Teams coached by Wilce and Zuppke have often battled for the championship in their final game and for a time it looked as if the victor at Urbana Sat- urday would be champion. At that there is a possibility that the race may be tied and that the team which wins may share in the honor. Ohio State's last appearance at the Illini stadium was in 1926 when the strong Buckeyes, just deprived of a tie for the championship by one point in their Michigan game, won a sensa- tional game. The Buckeyes scored first and kicked goal. Illinois retaliated in the closing minutes with a touch- down by a forward pass but Frosty Peters missed his drop-kick for the point after touchdown. Now Prosty is playing quarterback for the Illini and fans hope he re- ceives an opportunity to win the game by his right foot and succeeds. There will be a colorful setting for the struggle. Illinois students will stage the largest block "I" in history there and the Illinois band of 160 pieces will excute special maneuvers for the occasion. Upwards of 5,000 Ohio State partisans will travel to Urbana. Begin Christmas Seal Campaign Thanksgiving At a recent meeting of Christmas seal chairmen {from all over Cook county, the master ship model from the National Tuberculosis Association served as a center-piece at the luncheon. The luncheon was held at the Wo- man's City club and the other sessions at the office of the Chicago Tubercu- losis Institute in the same building, 360 N. Michigan avenue. Mrs. Theo- dore B. Sachs, superintendent, pre- sided. Homer J. Buckley, of the Associa- tion of Commerce, spoke on direct mail as a method of handling Christ- mas seal business. Nearly every community of the county was represented and the dis- cussion of plans for the December campaign was enthusiastic. The sale of Christmas seals will be- gin Thanksgiving and last until New Year, HOROWITZ HERE SOON Wednesday, December 26, is the date for the second of this season's Win- netka Music club's Artist-Recitals.
