Great Struggle Between Yale and

Deal of Attention.


sections of the great northwest has by
no means thrown a damper on the foot
ball spirit and today sees the big elev-
ems Of the country lined up, one against
the other, as the previously made
schedules may decree.
Altho the ground is frozen and, the
risk to the players is far greater. the
interest in the game is just as intense.
IT is good foot ball weather for the.
players, Yet a little hard on the spec
tators, who have to stand about in the
cold trying TO keep warm thru the in.
terest they feel in II team or the
Other.
But two more days of great games af-
ter today remain 10 complete the sched-
ules of the present season. and it is not
likely that much will be done after
Thanksgiving unless the weather
should change and prove to be more
agreeable than it gives promise of at
present.
In the west today all of the big
teams have games. Iowa plays Grin
nell on its home grounds and does not
anticipate much of a struggle. In fact,
Iowa's strides in foot ball circles this
season have been so remarkable that
they place her In a different class as
compared TO the other Hawkeye college
teams. The result OF the game is sim
ply a matter of score-more likely how
high a score the Iowa eleven will make.
AS Iowa's line has remained uncrossed
now for two years, not excepting the
games with Chicago and Michigan, 1t Is
NOT likely that Grinnell will score at
all, unless it might possibly be by a
goal from the field. Easy, however, as
todayss game between the states two
largest schools may seem, from an
Iowa City Standpoint, it is an import
amt one nevertheless, and the S. u. L.
players view it thus escepially because
of the fac that it will give them a
comparison between the University of.
Minnesota, the latters team having
beaten Grinnell earlier in the season.
Grinnell will. as usual. do her best
in today's game and on account Of the
university's brilliant work this year,
all the more glory will there be should
she score. The schools have been
rivals in an athletic way for a and
the time is not Very long past since
Grinnell beat her opponents of today
on the gridiron.
The Wisconsin-Chicago game today
ON Marshall Field will probably prove q
victory for Wisconsin,. The Badgers
have hardly done what their friends
hoped for earlier in the season, when
they We're picked by a great many foot
ball prophets as the winners of the
western championship. Still they are in
the game and are playing foot ball.
Poor Chicago. 50 promising a few
weeks ago, has dWindled down TO the
bottom of the heap and has NOT won a
game now IN yer a month. Many of
her best players are in the hospital
With q injury or another and the
team has hardly recovered from the
4 bruising received a week ago at the
hands Of Northwestern.
One of the great games of the west
today is between Minnesota and
Northwestern at Minneapolis. On the
result of this game depends somewhat
the decision of the awarding of the
Wsstern championship, especially if
Iowa does moi meet Minnesota, as is
likely to be the case. Each team ha.
/ had to practice on snow-covered
frozen ground this week and each has
been very careful of its men and has
INDUCED in but very light work. Min
nesota will probably win the game, and
then when Northwestern meets Iowa {
comparison can be made of the Goph.
ere and Hawkeyes' strength against !;
common opposition.
illinois is in bad shape for its gam
with Indiana at Indianapolis. two OF
its best players being put out of tn.
game by practice injuries Thursday.
In the Michigan-Notre Dame gam.
Notre Dame can expect nothing bet.
ter than to core. and it is quite prob
able that the Indiana eleven will hard
ly do that we'll. If Michigan's victor.
is very decisive one the Notre Dam,
season will com to a rather a!sma
close. as the team has not fulfilled ex
pectations.
In the east today great interest cen
ters in the annual Yale-Princetol
game at Princeton. Both teams are ii
fine condition and the most careful Sc
lection has been made by the coache;
of either team in making up the per
sonnels. Perry Hale, Yale's giant full
back, is to be in the game for the frs
time in a fortnight and his punting an
line bucking' are promising features
The effort Of the Tigers against TIL,
son of old Eli is to be one suprem,
and whichever eleven wins the grea
contest will have earned its victory
The betting is 2 to ] on Yale. The Yale
Princeton game is probably WATCHED
with the greatest interest by the Har
ward boys, as the Crimson meets YAH
next Saturday. An air of confidence hai
prevailed turnout the circles of Har
ward enthusiasts for ONE weeks, ow
ing to the poor showing that Yale ha
made in a few Of her games. This con
tidence, however, has now been esti
mated as ill-advised and Harvard ha
now buckled down to the idea that i
she win from Yale on the Gath she will
have to work for 1t.
