TWO COLLEGE GAMES
ARE IN PROGRESS

Two games in the intercollegiate football
league are in progress this afternoon. St.
Thomas and Hamline are playing on the lat
battling for the championship at Northheld.
st. Thomas has lost only one game to a
league team this season, while Hamline thru
a long course Of hard luck has no victories to
Its credit. Loss Of today's game would put
ST. Thomas in the third fourth place, while
victory would do much to retrieve Hamline's
past defeats and in consequence beth teams
went into the game with firm determination
to win. -*
Neither Shattrck Carleton has been de-

winner in today's game will have a pretty
