Odds Makers Favor Illini Notre Dame
New York — (U.P.) — Notre Dame was installed a solid 13-point favorite today to beat Iowa and extend its winning streak to 10 straight games Saturday while Illinois, still harboring notions of a trip to the Rose Bowl, was an identical favorite to lick Northwesterv.
Despite the fact that Iowa shut out Purdue and Minnesota in its last two starts, the Minneapolis house, which furnishes the weekly odds, saw the Hawkeyes becoming Notre Dame's eight victim of the year.
Should Illinois defeat Northwestern, as expected, it will the Michigan State, which has concluded its conference campaign, for the Big Ten title. A vote will then be necessary to determine whether Illinois or Michigan State makes the trip to the Rose Bowl.
Wisconsin, a 7-point choice over Minnesota, also can obtain a share of the Big Ten title by getting by the Gophers but cannot go to the Rose Bowl since it did so last January.
On the West Coast, Stanford was rated seven points better than California and UCLA was favored by six over Southern California. Victories by both Stanford and UCLA would cause a tie for the Pacific Coast conference title and necessitate a vote to determine which team goes to the Rose Bowl.
Maryland, ranked second only to Notre Dame in the nation, was a 13-point choice over Alabama while Georgia Tech was a 7-point choice over Duke. West Virginia, expected to rebound from last week's upset, was a 20-point choice over North Carolina State.
Baylor was a narrow 3-point pick over Southern Methodist in the Southwest conference while Rice was a 13-point favorite over Texas Christian. Texas, the conference leader, is idle Saturday.
Oklahoma, with the Big Seven title and a trip to the Orange Bowl already clinched, was rated 14 points better than Nebraska.

Columbia — Kansas will be up against Missouri university's three yardage leaders when they clash with the Tigers Saturday.
Fullback Bob Bauman, with 380 rushing yards; Bob Schoonmaker, with 279 yards gained rushing, and Vic Eaton, who accounted for 278 aerial yards on 21 completions, all were expected to be ready for play against the Jayhawks.
Manhattan — Sharp defensive maneuvers were demanded by Kansas State Coach Bill Meek today as he readied his Wildcats to meet Arizona at Tucson Saturday night.
Bauman and Schoonmaker missed last weekend's game due to injuries. Eaton suffered a head injury last week.
The team got no rough work in the drills, but long sessions were spent on both offense and defense. Meek stressed defense needed to slow Arizona, a team averaging 238 yards rushing against eight opponents.
Newly-installed lights were turned on at the practice field yesterday.
Lincoln—Another new name was added to the Nebraska starting lineup by Coach Bill Glassford today.
Guard Tom Kripal will replace Jerry Paulson on the starting eleven because of "improved defensive plav" in drills this week.

Norman—All 17 Sooner players hit by a "24-hour virus" are expected to be ready to play against such tough nature, according to Copenhagen.
Earlier, Glassford said center Ted Britt would replace Bob Oberlin.
He said any player infected after yesterday would not be able to play however.

Only two new cases of the virus showed up yesterday. They were sophomore tackle Bob Loughridge and end Kay Keller. Keller was out for the season anyway, with chest injuries.
The Jayhawker football team, although it allowed Oklahoma A&M to complete eight passes for 120 yards, still is ranked sixth in the nation in forward pass defense with a per game average of only 53.1 yards relinquished.
Also in that department Kansas State is fourth in the nation with 50.4 yards given up, while Colorado's Buffs hold down 10th spot in punting. Colorado kickers have averaged 39 yards per kick on 45 tries.
Hawks Still High In Pass Defense
Powerful Oklahoma, picked as fourth best in the U.S. this week, is in the runner-up position in rushing offense with 293.9 yards per contest, and is 12th in total offense with 344.1 yards.
Only two Big Seven players are among the leaders in individual categories, both in rushing. Oklahoma's Larry Grigg is eighth and Nebraska's Bob Smith is 10th. Grigg, in 101 carries, has gained 659 yards and Smith has picked up 653 in 116 rushes.
