cago and Wisconsin are out of the west
ern championship race, more than 5000
partizan rooters for the maroon and the
cardinal braved the Wintry weather at
Marshall Field to-day to cheer on Stage S
and Kings eleyens. A slight fall Of snow
during the night covered the shavings
spread over the :;rldirml, yet when work
men had raked the field it was seen to be
dry and fast. Twite defeated this year
once on Marshall 5Field-Wisconsin en-
tered the game determined to put the
maroon on a par with the cardinal Chi

much Of the work in his place. Captain
Juneau, although none too strong, prom
ised to help tie offense by making an end
run whenever the Inaroons could be
caught mapping. Wisconsin ruled the
