Chicago, Nov 15.-Three contests will
hold most of the football interest o-day.
In the east Yale and Princeton come to-
gether; at Minneapolis Wisconsin faces
Minnesota; on Marshall field, at o'clock,
Michigan will line up against Chicago.
Up at Minneapolis this afternoon a game
will be played that is second in interest
here only to the game on Marshall field.
Both Minnesota and Wisconsin expect to
win. The result of the game will have a
most important bearing on the football
situation in the west
Heffelfinger, who has been assisting
Coach Williams with the gophers, thinks
that the badgers will be defeated. His
opinion is not an enthusiastic one, either,
but is based on a careful comparison Of
the two elevenS.
There are several points at which Min
nesota has a distinct advantage. The
gophers are the heavier. and 1t IS said
that speed has not been sacrificed to
weight. The game is to be played at
Minneapolis, which is also in Minnesota 8
favor. Then again several of the W1scon-
sin players are reported In poor condi-
ton.
Yale the Favorite.
Down east the great game is between
Princeton and Yale. Both elevens, &C
cording to reports, have been doing their
regular week before a big game slumping.
Yale Is the favortte and properly so.
Yale is said to have the strongest line
in the east. Princeton has not showed any
wonderful offensive work so far this sea-
son. The Tigers have great man to
score field goals, and it is likely they
will attempt to get points in this way
whenever they have a chance. Yale GER
tainly must win to be regarded a strong
favorite for the game with Harvard q
week hence
The local game is naturally the one
which holds the football attention here.
Chicago has not yet been beaten this year,
and until the game on Marshall field is
over. the rnaroons have the right to say
that the championship of the west lies
between them and the wolverines.
Until the last few days it has generolly
been regarded as foregOne conclusion
that the wolverines would defeat Chicago
and that without any trouble, either. Oh
late there has been a decided change ir
the feeling at the Midway school. Accord
ing to the last reports from the University
of Chicago, the indications for maroon
victory are most rosy. -
There is an idea at. the University O.
Chicago that Stages men may go in hare
at the start play Michigan off it's feet
and put the heavy scoring eleven from
Ann Arbor up in the air. Chicago will
certainly show a wonderful improvement
tomorrow over it's last public appear
ance.
The maroon offense will probably b.
able to gain ground against the wolver
ines but it is not likely that it will b
able to gain any great distance-say, owe
40 yards-on stretch. On the othe
hand. Michigan's attack may be able t
do this.
It looks beforehand as if the gam
should be one of those hard-fought con
tests in which the spectators will no
realize the difference between the team
until after the game, when they thin
the score over.
