CLOSE RACE IN EAST

The scores in the eastern football

Brown, just one more than Princeton
made the week before. This would in

par with the tigers. If anything the
advantage is with Princeton, for Penn

sooner, and with her backfield playing
together for a month, has had more
chance to perfectaher team work.
Princeton's score of IL against the

have rather bearish effect upon Mas

Yale made twelve less points against

this enabled Penn to pierce the Yale

manner which delighted the hearts of
the rooters. It was fast and hard all
the time. Most of the gains were
made by line bucks mainly directed
against tackle, with an occasional
change to the center Of the line, the
only notable exception being when
Smith went around right end for a
forty-fve-yard run and touchdown!
All Wisconsin's best men were in
the game, tho in the second half sew
eral subs were given a chance. BeIoit
fought hard, but could do nothing
against her heavier opponents. She
could neither make her distance nor
hold the wisconsin men, the only
times she got the ball being on the

CorneIrs Captain Laid Up.

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct. 19.-One Of the Sc
verest injuries that could come to the Cor
nell football eleven resulted from the
game with Bucknell on Saturday. Toward
the end Of the second half Captain Hunt
suffered injuries to his left ankle that the
physicians say will keep him off the field
for a week or more and which the coaches
fear will keep the giant off the game with
Princeton on Oct. 81. The rest Of the team
came out of, the game with the Bucknell
giants uninjured, altho Rice, the freshman
halfback who made the one touchdown

Chicago's Failure to Defeat North

in Maroon Stock. -.

+ Chicago Oct. .19.-The football sit
uation in the west has undergone a
great change. The old saying about
the unexpected always happening was
given new proof on Saturday. There
was but one surprise, but it was COM
plete, and it served to change the as
lpect of several teams who are fight
ing hard for the championship.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Michigan won, as had been looked for.
But Chicago failed to win. Therein
twas the surprise. 1t is hard to decide
whether the most surprise should be
felt over Chicago's failure to win or
over Northwesterns success in Win

been picked as a sure loser.
Perhaps the latter view is better.
orthwestern was the real surprise.

anston team will have a basis for their
dreams of a championship. ...
In Evanston the cry is, Were out

could hear, wherever students gath
cred, talk of a poSt-season game with
Michigan or Minnesota to decide the
cham pionship of the west. The stu
dents who engaged in this talk for

that lies between them and the end
Of the season. They remind one of
the man who stands on the edge of a
precipice and talks of what he will do
when he gets to the other side, but
who makes no plans to bridge the
abyss that yawns before him. g.
Northwestern must beat both Illi-
nois and Wisconsin before it has a
right to ask for post-season game,
and that is a task the purple will find
very hard to perform. Illinois and
Wisconsin are both strong and they

OF course, the hopes of the maroon
adherents have been dampened and
Chicago cannot be considered again in
the same class with Michigan and

good against Illinois.
