WISCONSIN FAyORITE.
Football Contest on Marshall Field
With Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Although both Chi
cago and Wisconsin are out of the west
ern championship race. more than 5000
partisan rooters for the maroon and the
cardinal braved the wintry weather at
Marshall field today. A slight spit of
snow during the night fell upon the COW
ering of shavings spread over the grid
iron, yet, when workmen had raked the
field it was seen to be dry and fast.
Twice defeated this year-once on
Marshall field-Wisconsin entered the
game determined to put the maroons on
a par with the cardinal. Chicago pre-
sented no hospital list as it did when
Michigan overwhelmed the maroon. All
of the maroons were in good physical
condition.
But Phil Kings badgers were able to
boast no such record. Vanderboom was
lame, making it seem necessary to hold
Freshman Marsh for most of the work
in his place. Captain Juneau, although
none too strong. promised to help the
offense by making an end run when
ever the maroons could be caught nap
ping. Wisconsin ruled the favorite in
the light betting before the game.

This trumpet corps is a continuation OF

master. This corps thrived for While
and as the boys became Older it gradually
faded away and it has now turned things
over to the Second Regiment Trumpet
corps which is composed of boys RANGING
in age from 10 to Is years. Robert Ias-
ker, the Topeka young man who went
through the Philippine and China war
with the Fourteenth infantry, is the drill
master, and he must be a good one for,
although the corps has not been orga-
nized very long, it is now drilling like a
veteran regiment. The corps is-WeH equip

Last night was the night for the regular

them. A book of rules and regulations
was to be given to the member who would
be able to pass the closest inspection and

the Ithaca boys have won only one game

was sanguine of victory when his team
trotted on the field today. He said mis-
players were not so badly injured the

Pennsylvania eleven was in the best ply

night. Coach Williams said all the play
ers were in the pink of condition and cap

The rain of the last two days had COM
pletely soaked the big gridiron and the
footing was muddy and treacherous. while
the BAH was slippery and hard to handle.
