CHICAGO. November 2s.-Th.s was en-
phaticaily foot ball day in Chicago. This
morning at II o'clock two games are sched-
uled. one between the eleven from the Uni
versity of Chicago and the famous Univers-
ity of Michigan. the other between Chicago
and Boston Athletic Associations.
brighter day for foot ball never dawned.
Unfortunately, however, for the happiness
Of the true foot ball maniac the foot of rain
and snow has left the fields in such a slip
perry condition that in spite of scraping,
sawdust and salt which scores of laborers
have been giving them much of the pictur-
esqueness of the game, the round the ends
play, ETC., will be eliminated
1t took a foot ball enthusiast of the most
hopeless kind to really appreciate the game
today, for in spite of the warm rays of the
sun chilling wind was blowing and the
piles of snow, with the jingle of sleigh bells,
made one think of Christmas and the coal
trusts last upward move rather than of
the probable outcome of foot ball game.
Even the mud is superior to ice to come in
violent contact with, and the field, in spite of
the unceasing care it has received, was as
a rule more fit for skating rink than
foot ball ground.
The plays will necessarily be directed at
the line. and in this respect Michigan will
have an advantage that may win the game
for the Ann Arbor athletes. Their line is
considerably heavier and the rigidity of it
was well displayed in the game with Har-
ward. This may be offset by the fact that
the Michigan men are still sore from their
hard battle with Minnesota last Saturday.
while the Chicago men, realizing the i'm
mense Importance of at least making good
showing In today's game, have been train
ing hard and faithfully, with the result that
at the final wind-up of the "long-hair sea-
SON. eleven aforementioned men repre-
senting Chicago University never stepped
on the gridiron.
Taking Michigan's game with Harvard as
criterion, the signal victory over Mime
sofa, who, in turn, have vanquished Chi
| cago, early in the season, it is true, Chicago
has apparently small chance of even scor-
ing. But foot ball, being essentially an anna
teur game, and, therefore, with no suspicion
of crookedness, is full of surprises and the
superior condition of Stages men may tip
up another of a long list of miscarried
"cinches" and give them the victory.
The officials of the game will be: Gould of
Amherst, referee, and Upton of Harvard
umpire.
In anticipation of the struggle which they
We're certain to have. the Chicago Athletic
Association men have been strengthening
their team materially: Heffelfinger, the
famous Yale guard, will play right tackle
against Bert Waters, and the friendly
''scrapping'' between these two celebrities
will be watched with great interest. Van
Dooser of Evanston and Richards of Wis
consin are the left and right half backs re-
spectively, while Parkyn, the Minnesota full
back, will probably play in that position for
the c. y. a. 1t is the strongest eleven, as
1t is composed now, in the west, but lacks
team work. BoStonS line is stronger than
Chicago's, and, the game will be mostly
all line plays, Boston has an advantage in
this respect. Parkyn and Curtis are equally
good at punting.
At the end of the first half of the Boston,
Chicago game the score stood to o. in favor
of the BostonS. The game was very bad
owing to the slippery condition of the field.
