week IN sport
Foot ball still occupies the most
prominent position in the sporting
world and today the best college and
varsity teams Of the country are en-
gagged. Illinois meets Michigan on
Marshall field In one of the series of
western championship games; Grinnell
battles with Wisconsin at Madison, and
Chicago University will try the proves
of eleven husky men with like num-
Der from the University of Pennsyl-
vanfa at Philadelphia. These three
games hold the greatest interest for
westerners, altho Northwestern meets
Beloit at Evanston and Minnesota
wrestles with North Dakota at Mime
apolis.
In the east, however. there are other
| games OF equal Importance. Yale is pitt
4 ted against Columbia at New York and
the Princeton tigers will wrestle with
Brown on the latter,s grounds at Prov
\ idence, r. l. Harvard meets the Car
! Isle Indians. In the Illinois Michigan
/ game the outcome is problematical.
1 Michigan considers the game one of the
i hardest of the season for Illinois has no

4 is likely to be hard and close and
/ Michigan will probably win Both
teams are exceptionally strong on de-
Tense, but Michigan is considered the
| better In offensive work. In the Grin
Wisconsin game Grinnell admirers
can hope but little better than score.
4 If even that, for il GrinnelI should win
\ it would be one of the greatest sur
prises of the season. Wisconsin may,
however, misjudge its opponents and
4 work out less experienced men in order
to save the stronger players for the
4 Minnesota game next Saturday and in
that manner give Grinnell a batter
chance. Coach Phil King, who cap
4 tanned GrinneH's champion eleven Of a
few seasons ago, Is thought to be bent
on saving his men for the Minnesota
i game.
In the Chicago-Pennsylvani contest
j but little Is hoped for the maroons and
even the teams most ardent admirers
j feel that they may have cause to re-
4 joice If Chicago scores against the
4 Quakers. Coach Stages men are Grip
pied almost to a man and the bettering

Saturday did them no good. Many of
the crippled players have improved,
however, in the past week and Stage Is
4 figuring on surprising the Pennsylvania
4 players. Pennsylvania practice has
4 not been up to SNUFF this week. but her
4 style of playing is rough and Stagg' s
: men will have pretty tough PROPOSE

i, guess on the score as 40 to o. but the

score.
