The 10th Mid-American Conference title will undoubtedly be settled at today's fine gridiron attraction. Both Miami, the defending champion, and Bowling Green have four wins without a loss. The victor, like in last year's tussle, will take the title. A tie, however, will prolong the title chase for another week. In that case Bowling Green, with a remaining game against Ohio U. here next week, could come out on top by defeating the Bobcats. This would come about by virtue of playing one more conference contest than the Oxford eleven.
