SAll of the big nine teams get into action
tomorrow, and all of the games are Of suf-
fcient strength to give something of line
on the relative progress and standing of the
squads. Minnesota has her annual fight with
Atnes on hand and 1t promises to be the best
football Of the early season. Stage has an
engagement against Indiana at MARSHALL field,
and some anxiety is felt by the maroon sup
porters as Sheldon is supposed to know the
signals of the Chicago team and will not be
slow to take advantage of such lever In
diana is hopelessly outweighed by the hippo
potami but the Chicago unrest over the out.
come would betoken that Indiana was not held
cheaply.
wisconsin will play with Notre Dame, and
the badgers looking for a fight from, the
smaller team Notre Dame cannot hope to win
against Kings men, but what they lack in
weight the boosters always make up in fight.
The game, tho. will hardly be one to call out
the full accomplishments of the badgers. Mich
igan has another walkaway with Vanderbilt,
altho Yost is quoted as warning his cosmopoli-
tans that they must keep their mitts upon the
ball.. The game should result In nothing save
high score for the wolverines.
Nebraska is playing Knox at Lincoln, and
the Galesburg team is tricky and fast little
organization. Booths wards may have trouble in
protecting their goal Nebraska, tho on strength
and weight should smother the team from ILL
nois, Iowa is preparing for Minnesota to-
morrow with practice game with Grinnell,
and unless the latter team has pulled up Won
derfully this year should not prove much Of
western at Evanston, and the absence of Blair
and large injured list gives Beloit show
at scoring, altho the purple warriors should win
by clean margin. ga. ...- a..
Wabash is playing with Purdue tomorrow
and If they hold the form and spirit displayed
In their games with Illinois. Chicago and North
Western. Cayous should defeat Purdue.
In the east the games are all of a practice
arrangement. and from the schedules there
should be few if any surprises in the results.
Question of Score.
Speculation as to the score in the Minnesota
Ames game has been rife for several days
among the rooters Last year Ristne's men
held the western champions to 800 Oct. IS,
and as Ames has stronger team this year
than last the comparative scores Of tomorrow
and last year will prove to be food upon which
the form followers will feed The gophers have
put in week Of fair work in preparation for
the Ames game. and, knowing that the team
would be called upon to put forth additional
effort. Dr. Williams has hammered at the squad
in an effort to eliminate the crude points shown
up In the earlier games. Tomorrow will give
the coach the first true line on what he has t.
do before Iowa comes along with the first big
nine game OF the year. The weather has beer
favorable during the week. and no more hot
weather Is expected. This will enable the coach
Ing staff to push the men a bit harder, If they
desire, without running the risk of starting W
a train of illness such as robbed Jimmy Irshe1t
of his chance to play this season. During the
latter part Of the week the men overcame tn.
slight disposition to loaf shown In the earl,
part of the work and buckled down to business
be shown in the game tomorrow. =
