Should - the ' Wolverines and Gophers prevail as predicted, the Big Ten championship would be decided in Michigan's favor for the third straight year but the Bowl picture would be complete confusion.. , Ohio State, which now shares the league lead with Michigan, would be tied with Minnesota with a 4-2 mark and Illinois could even horn in with a claim by trimming Northwestern. The Buckeyes could simplify matters by upsetting Michigan and taking the whole works the big ten title and the bowl, too. Michigan is ineligible to return to Pasadena because it was a visitor there two years ago. Another contingency a Wis consin victory and an Ohio State defeat would put the Badgers In there. All is chaos. The decision will be made by a vote of conference faculty re presentatives if the issues is not cleanly settled Saturday. The slide rule specialists who dope these things out in advance forcast no such complications at the other end of the Rose Bowl Axis the Pacific coast.

Romance Ends Happily "I Hiked Paula quite a lot even then," Ward recalled. Their two families were sepa rated by the coming of the war Paula's parents came to the north west.
