Chicago's Athletic Guide Will Not
Hurry in Making Up His
Schedules.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Will the University of Chi
cago break off athletic relations with Michigan
as the result of the recent troubles between the
two schools? This is the foremost question on
the maroon horizon at present
According to Coach Stage, his schedule for
next year Is still In doubt. He has been too
busy figuring out way to win the western
honors to devote any time to the 1905 games,
and now that the season Of tentative programs
is at hand he declares he can say nothing about
his own plans. He declares he ''has no thought
of break with Michigan 1t Is the belief in
the maroon camp that the Chicago schedule may
include at least one big surprise when it is
announced.
Minnesota has put in urgent claim for a
game. DR.. Williams has pressed the matter
vigorously in the past, but Coach Stagg Of late
years has been unwilling to give him place
on his program, as it would necessitate dropping
some other institution from his official calling
card Yesterday DR.. Williams and Stage held q
long colsultation, but according to Coach Stage,
nothing definite was decided. Coach Stage also
received q request for a game from Nebraska,
but he did not consider it.

Chicago, Dec. AT the Midway yesterday the
day was given over to rejoicing, and informal
1ng of the western Championship. It Is just
beginning to dawn upon the maroon rooters that
Michigan was really beaten and that Chicago
has one of the greatest, If not the greatest,
football teams that ever played on western
gridiron. .s
The victory came as such a sudden and COM
plete surprise to all concerned that the magni-
tude of the accomplishment has not yet really
been realized. Nominally there were classes at
the university, but when the rolls were called
there were many familiar faces missing, owners
OF which, while not stars in academic accom-
pfishmen is, were men who knew the weight and
value of every football player in the west and
were willing to miss few hours Of work in
order to give vent to their oyercharged feelings.
Celebration Monday.
mo formal celebration has been held, as the
great 5ollifcation meeting billed for last night
was postponed until Monday because several
members Of the team had gone home to rest
after the strenuous season. In Its stead big
bonfire celebration was held. All day long the
freshmen worked gathering wood until a pile
Rs large as house was built In the middle
pf the campus. .--1
Just before O'Clock the pile was fred and a
celebration held despite the snow.
#I It is expected that by Monday night everyone
svilI be ready to make the meeting the greatest
Of its kind ever held in Chicago. ALL the team
will be present and will deliver carefully pre-.
pared speeches.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Representatiyes Of the mem-
bers of the Western intercollegiate Conference
association met at the Victoria hotel yesterday
and spent the greater part Of the day In dis
cussing questions pertinent in western college
athletics. Several propositions were talked Of,
but no definite action was TAKEN
Discussion of the Boone, Schultz and Dunlap
cases occupied the greater part of the morning

dency to unduly magnify the athletic side of
student life. The conference is of the opinion
that no more than 80 cents should be charged
for any seat, whether reserved not, and that
a less charge be made when possible
Ruie lS, summer baseball, was Q1s-
cussed at length, but finally allowed to
stand. The growing brutality of football games
was considered but the conference took NO .ac-

his New York, Brooklyn and Boston associates
in horse-racing have taken from the state of
New Hampshire three square miles Of her
territory and on it will maintain the first Amer
lean Monte Carlo that ever received legal sane
ton in the United States.
The tract acquired is in Salem, point on the
border line between Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire. only eight miles from Lawrence
and Haverhill. and sort of country center for
several lines Of railroads. Hence it is easily
accessible to the people Of Boston, and there is
the real purpose of the promoters-to make it
Bostons racetrack.
By vote of the state legislature Mr.. Belmont
and his partners will be supreme in this reser-
walton for ten years. and because they know
they are supreme, far beyond the reach Of any
of the laws Of the granite state, they have be-
gun to spend $1,500,000 In the finest racing
ground in the world. not excepting even the
now famous Belmont park Long Island.
So cleverly was the charter drawn that not
even could the state militia enter the grounds
to quell riot. Not even do the precise liquor
laws apply within this enclosure.

error in Judgment lost the Chicago game for

severely for the play, but since he Is taking
the matter SO very deeply at heart. the telling
here has changed to sympathy for him. 1t
was reported here yesterday that he was miss
ing and that it was feared that he had COM
mitted suicide, and while the students did not
place much credence In the rumor yet 1t was
enough to remove from their minds all feeling
of indignation against Clark
When Clark returns to Ann Arbor he will be
reproached by no one, and on the contrary, all
possible efforts will be made to cheer him up
and lead him to forget the incident. Clark be-
longs to one Of the leading fraternities in
Ann Arbor, and is generally popular, and it
will be easier for the students to forget the

The medicines are not purchased by the

satiating unquenchable thirst. In the cord

patent medicine is certain mixture Of "drops,"
in which ether and other chemicals predominate
and produce the desired result Of stimulant

medicine. This brand is purchased by dealers
in large lots, being as staple as flour sugar.
with the additional feature Of yielding larger
profit to the dealer.
