Coach Stage, of the Maroon eleven,

they do not hesitate to say so; they
swear at him personally, but they

just at present-for his team and
his methods have brought victory to
Chicago thus far this season.
That is very much like the Chicago

That Chicago has impressed these
distinguished travellers differently is
evidenced from the difference in their
Writings. Some seemed pleased with
the combination of provincial manners

an equal evidence of pleasure, fully
understanding that being talked

gardless of what was said.
