games of foot ball than there have been
| at any one time during the present sea-
son, all of the larger university and coll
| lege elevens being pitted against some
| adversary Of Importance. AS has been
the case so far during the season, the
west has more games, of Importance
than the east that is more games that
have some bearing on the standing
of the teams at the close of the season.
In the east there is only one contest of
vital interest, as concerns the big
four standing, and that is the Yale
Princeton game at New Haven, wnich,
undoubtedly, will be Won by the sons of
Eli. In the west, however, there are sew
eral games of Importance, the outcome
of which will be used in summing UP the
standings of the teams in the western
championship race. Northwestern is
playing Beloit at Evanston. and altho
the Evanston team will likely win she
is Well assured that the eleven from the
little Congregational school in Michigan
is going to put up good article. The
Beloit men do not exactly expect to win,
but they are going in with that inten-
ton, just the same, and intend to score.
The real big game, however, is the Min
Observation-Disclosures contest at Madison, in
which both sides are confident of VIM
ming, with betting odds in favor of the

men blankly in the face, and with no
way to prevent it with squad of Grip
pied men. Stages men feel confident of
scoring, yet the Wolverines supporters
are offering much money that the Chica-
go players Will not see the back of Mich
igan's goal line. With all these impor-
tant and interesting contests in which
foot ball enthusiasts turnout the west
are interested, the eyes of Iowa are all
turned toward little town in Johnson
county formerly the capital OF the
Hawkeye state, where the State Uni
versity of Iowa eleven meets the Grin
nell team. Last year, with Iowa's inn
pregnable team Grinnell supporter
wouldn't have given the snap of his fin
ger for the chances of the scarlet and
black. This year, however, the case is
different, and it wouldn't surprise Iowa
foot ball cranks if Grinnell walked off
with the plum. If she does there Will be
the happiest lot of students in GriEnell-
town that there has been In years Iowa
and Grinnell are old rivals and for the
past few years Grinnell hasn't been
able to cope with the Hawkeyes. Grin
nell has improved SO much. however,
within the past few weeks, that her
chances are good for winning from S. ".
l. Another Iowa game of no small inn
portance, and one that will undoubtedly
settle the third place in the state cham
pionship. is the contest at Ames be-
tween the Iowa State College and
Drake. The teams are very evenly
matched. The Normals play Des Moines
at Cedar Falls with chances for the
Baptists very slim.
In the game at Des Moines yesterday
between the Still osteopaths and High
land Park, the "osteos' Won by a score
of % to 10.
The University of Nebraska foot ball
management introduced novel feature
in the game this afternoon between the
corn huskers and the jayhawkers from
Kansas. The novelty was nothing more
or less than seeing the chief executive of
the state, Governor Savage, kick the ball
off from the center field as preliminary
to the main beginning of the game. Gov
ernor Savage was accompanied on the
field by other state officials who lined
up behind him, the idea being to give
an official SAVIOR to the contest. Gov
ernor Savage never saw foot ball game
until last Saturday, at Omaha, when
Nebraska defeated Missouri, and now he
is an enthusiastic convert.
The games Of the day, in the west
and east, are as follows:
-Beloit at Evanston.

Well, the big championship MILL
talked of now for more than a year, In
that it was impossible to make arrange
ments for the mill in several cities, has
at last been pulled off and it did not
prove TO be much of fight after ALL
Jeffries is still champion and Rubin has
been vanquished-for time at least.
Interested spectators. from the cream OF
the land to the riff-raff. Travelled thous-
ands of miles to see the fight, and in
many instances spent small fortunes
Many went clear across the continent
to witness the five embarrassing rounds.
AS predicted by several sporting writer's
on the ground the fight did not last over
five rounds. as Rubin threw up the
sponge in the fifth, not being knocked
out, but simply quitting AS usual
an excuse is given, and altho before the
game he said that the best man would
win; now he says that he would not
have lost had 1t not been for some foul
work In the second round. Surely thel
fighting game is not what it was few
years ago.
