FOOTBALL TODAY.
Great Curiosity In the Chicago
Michigan Game.

Indoors.

Kansas and Missouri Play at
Kansas City.
The Line Up of the Two Rival
Teams.

Chicago. Nov 2s.-At least 10000 peo-
pie witnessed the football game be-
tween the Chicago and Michigan uni
versity eIevens at the Coliseum today
Not the least potent factor in drawing
such a crowd was curiosity to see
the first important football game ever
played indoors
The field, OF course was in perfect
condition and neither team could rely
on a victory through q huke. The floor
ing had all been removed and the earth
ed with clay and then rolled, making
the surface Of that smooth, springy
character, 50 dear to the heart Of a foot
ball player
Between the rows of boxes and the
side lines and at the ends sand had
been dumped and sloped to prevent pos
sibIe injury to payers That both teams
were confident Of winning goes without
saying. The unbeaten Michigan team
certainly had right to expect another
victory to its long string. Neyerthe-
less, every member of the Chicago elev-
en- expressed his belief that on their
broWs would rest the laurel wreaths
when the struggle was over

Washington, Nov. 26.-The report of

REFEREE STOPPED THEN.
Ryau-smith Fight Ends in Niath
Round with Much Dissatisfaction

Maspeth, Il. T., Nov. 26.-For the fifth
time Tommy Ryan Of Syracuse and
Mysterious Billy Smith of Boston met
last night to decide which was the SUI
perior in the welterweight class. All
previous encounters had been as inter
esting as they had been exciting and a
battle royal was expected.
There were probably 1000 people in
the building when the preliminary bout
was put on, with the inevitable Charlie
HOVey as announcer Jem Mace, the
the old time English champion, occu-
pied a box and was the center of attrac-
tiOn before the sport began.
Ryan entered the ring at 1905 o'clock.
He was accompanied by Jimmy Hand
Ter, Fred Smith, Tom Brady and George
English
Smith was escorted by Charley White,
Tim Magrath, Bill Crowley and Harry
Black The men met at catch weights
but there was very little difference in
their weights.
The fighting was nearly even up to
the eighth round. when Ryan forced it
and held Smith to the ropes until the
gong released him.
In the ninth, Smith sent his right
hard on the face making Ryan's right
eye bleed badly. Ryan swung left on
the face and Smith slipped to the floor.
They began slugging right and left on
body and face. and Ryan seemed to
have slightly the better of the argument.
Inc rGIeTee saw Lndb tne men would
soon reach their limit and stopped the
bout after two minutes and A seconds
had been used up in the round. He then
declared Ryan the winner. and when
the announcers gave the decision there
were many cries Of discomfort and
Kisses.
r. j. Murphy of Long Island shouted
that ne would back Smith against Ryan
at any time for any purse at catch
weights, and he stipulated that he was
willing to put up any sum from S. 600
to 10000 provided that Tim Hurst
should not referee. The result was un-
satisfactory to the majority Of the
spectators and the partisans of both
men are willing to have them meet
again in order to decide which is the
better man at catch or stipulated
weights.
