Chicago, Oct. 2s.-Both local football
teams, Northwestern and Chicago
showed material advance over their
| form of a week ago, and, together with
Michigan's top-heavy score and an APP
parent slump by Minnesota, furnished
the greatest surprises in Saturdays
results
The reversal of form at Champaign
was perhaps the feature of the day.
Northwestern's unexpected victory not
only brushes the hopes of the Him for
championship honors but gives the
friends of the purple new lease of life
and in a measure vindicates DR.. Hol-
listers much-reviled tandem.
OF the so-called "big" teams of the
middle west Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan alone remain indicated. In
view of the fact that Michigan meets
neither of the other two there seems
to be little chance for a settlement of
the championship without post-season
game. 1t is also entirely possible. how
ever, for all three of the present lead
ers to meet defeat in their schedules.
Saturdays games clearly stamp both
Chicago and Iowa, as well as North
western. as Corners" and there is every
chance for greatly mixed up situation
at the finish.
The result of the Illinois Northwest
ern game indicates that Illinois
strength was overestimated in its con-
test with Chicago and, in view of Mich
igan's showing against Buffalo. also
makes 1t appear that the purple defeat
at Ann Arbor was due as much to the
wolverines strength as to the crippled
condition of the Methodists.
Local interest naturally centered in
the Chicago Pennsylvania contest on
Marshall field. In this game the score
was about what was generally expected,
but the actual play was a pleasing sur
prise. Both teams entered the contest
as tail-enders in their respective dis
tricts and both showed their lack of
development. The game was slow and
lacked finish, but the past week Stage
has accomplished what he was gener-
ally expected to do before the Illinois
game.
He succeeded in instilling into the men
the fighting spirit which has heretofore
been so sadly lacking. The team has

perfected gerat improvement may be
expected in Chicago's play.
The East vs. West" feature OF the
game has lost much of it's earlier in
terest. as each section in foot ball is
now sufficient unto itslef. AS the two
teams have about the same relative
standing among their natural rivals,
however, the game indicates that the
west is at least very close upon the
heels of the leading eastern elevens.
AT Minneapolis, Iowa's green team,
crippled on the eve of the battle by the
loss of its captain and quarter back,
gave the veteran gophers great sur
prise. AS was expected, Minneapolis
won. but Iowa held them for thirty
minutes without count, and the most

The Wisconsin, Kansas game dem
onstrates that the middle western
teams outclass the members of the old
trans Mississippi" League. The badg-
ers showed their recovery from the
Knox slump and strengthened the be-
lief that their veteran back field is one
of the hardest propositions in the West.
Michigan's 1913 points against Buffalo
was q revelation of the wolverines
speed and strength, but in spite of
Buffalo's recent defeat of Columbia
and Lehigh the team that opposed the
Ann Arbor men was necessarily de-
cidedly weak. Results show that the
game was little more than signal
practice for the varsity. In fact the
of so large a score-a rec
ord breaker between universities under
the present rules-may prove a serious

a really hard game.
