Chicago, Nov. 24-Arrangements for
the Tha nksgiving football game between
the elevens Of Michigan and Chicago
universities at the Coliseum are now
practically complete. 81 200 square feet
OF flooring having been taken up and the
ground beneath carefully narrowed. COW
cred with clay and then rolled.
Room will be ample At each end Of
the field, which is of regulation size, thir-
ty feet i1tervenes between the goal lines
and the fash wall, four feet high, from
which rise the tiers Of seats. At the sides
fineeE feet separate the walls and the
field. To further guard against accidents
to players who are tackled near the side
lines, the ground between the rows OF
boxes and the field has been "sloped."
Actual seating accommodations have
been provided for $1,000 persons. There
is also sufficient standing room for 5000
more without crowding.
AS to the availability Of the building
from players point of view, nothing
can be tod. as no practicing win be done
by either team in the building and until
the contest itself takes place no one can
tell whether indoor football is q success
Only one thing, however. is feared by the
players. and that is that the light from.
the scores of skylishts will interfere with
the catching of punts. To obviate this
fault, if such fault exist, the windows
on the west side have been painted to
soften the glare of the sun. AS to the
puntins itself, there will probably be no
trouble. From the center of the field to
the roof it is 81 feet. Directly over the
side lines the height is so feet, but it i'm
mediately rises to 60 feet and thence
gradually slopes up to the center.

left seemed weak in the fifteenth he stag
gered Sullivan with a right handler on
the Jaw.

to bleed from two hard ones on the face,
but he was game and fought back as
hard as he could, although his blows
lacked steam. Dave was very tired when
the gong sounded.
In the nineteenth Leon knocked Sui
Ivan to the floor with right swing on

nose. Dave, although badly punished,
was game. and held up his end in clever

clared it a draw.

Vice President Stevenson Maises Quiet
 Little Joke on Himself.
 One of tho most popular men person. ally who ever held tho office of viea president is the present incumbent, Gen. eral Adlai |. Stevenson, and no one ell. joys more than he the constant jokes by the numerous wits of congress at tho expense ef himself and his office Adlal is something Of q joker himself i'll his own quiet way, and he never said any. thing better than few nights ago at q dinner party. \ very glib tongued southern senator, noted as the best story teller of the cloakreom, was relating, apropos of the utter uselessness of a vicd president, how James Buchanan ignored john c. Breckinridge when he held the office. Breckinridge, the senator said, was probably the best informed man iu Washington with regard to the south ern people, their views on slavery and then attitude on the then dominant wal question. Yet the president ignored him as completely as though he did not exist, and the senator said he had heard Breckinridge tell dozen times the facts as to the first, last and only consulta. tion that he ever had as vice president with President Buchanan OH public question.
 'sTell t, said all the guests at ths table
 Well. 3 said the senator, "Breckin. ridge said that in the early part of the month of November in the last year of his term he received a note one day from the president asking him to call, as he desired to consult him OH mat. ter of public business. and, the summons being so unusual, Breckinridge obeyed at once. The president received him somewhat formally. took him into his private office, closed the door, drew q piece of manuscript from his pocket and said with much pompousness, Mir. Vice President, 1 have drawn up my last thanksgiving proclamation, and 1 desire to have you listen while read it and give me your opinion. :" As the laughter caused by the senator's story was subsiding the quiet voice of Vics President Stevenson was heard saying. up near the head of the table:
