VINO IS the MOST POPULAR GIRL
AT 1900 O'Clock Noon Sharp the
Last Vote Must be In and
on Record.

Every branch and phase OF busiss
ness possesses its peculiar secrets.
This is truism and applies to every
thing-even to contest carried on
by a newspaper.
The proprietors of this paper have
had occasion to realize the truth OF
these things since starting our
"Most Popular Young Lady" con
test. To the average reader the
printed vote is grasped at a glance
and it is natural for one not to con-
slider the amount of writing, book
keeping, typesetting and other Incl
dentel work necessary to present
the reports to our readers. We con-
fess when we started the contest,
April 81 last, we did not have much
of an idea of the time or work naces-
sary to bring it to successful close.
Never having gone through the mill,
so to speak, we thought about two
months time would be plenty. AS
matter Of fact we find that six
months time is none TO soon in which
to give such contest proper publ
city. 1t was our intention to close
the contest July 4th, but in looking
around we find so much unfinished
that should be done we must have
another months time. One thing we
have been unable to secure and it is
something we must have is com
mittee of three ladies from the coun-
try who will act as canvasslng
board. Our lady friends seem timid
about consenting to act though for no
reasons we can see. We will pay
the expenses of the committee while
IN town and we propose to treat them
right while here. We don't want
any question raised about So qlareness
of the contest. We are giving away
d fine gold watch that costs US a neal
little sum of money. We make
nothing out of the contest, except {
little advertising for our paper anC
! we want our subscribers to coun
the votes themselves at the close.
Il We have definitely decided to clos,
the contest August Bird next whethe
or no and if we can't secure the com
l mittee mentioned we will publish th
list of all votes cast for the two high

CHICAGO WINS ON SAFETY.
CATLIN SAVES THE DAY.
Michigan Beaten for Middle Vest
Football Championship.

Chicago Nov. S0-Chicago defeated Michigan by
a Of to for the Middle Western football
championship to-day. The points were earned on
a safety touchdown IN the second half by the
splendid work of Captain CatIin of Chicago aided
by the poor Judgment Of Clark. of Michigan, in
trying to back punt OF EckersalIs which
barely reached the Michigan goal line. Clark was
thrown across the line by CatIin after evading
Chicago tacklers 1t was the first defeat suffered
by Michigan in FIVE years
The game devoid OF spectacular features.
BrtllienL open field play by Chicago and hard,
grinding line work by Michigan were expected by
the 5000 spectators that surrounded the grtdiron
on Marshall Field, but the contrary was the case.
Trick plays almost invariably were unsuccessful.
EckersaIl had only one chance at a drop kick for
goal. and he failed.
NTiohigan's concerted offence when hurled against
the Chicago line, failed to produce expected re-
suits. and tho fight for the honor of the Western
football championship developed into a punting
duel between EckersaI, of Chicago. and Garrels.
OF Michigan. Michigan failed to gain consistently
against Chicago's defence, while Chicago not only
held against the heavy line plays Of Michigan but
gained much more ground on straight football.
Io the first half Curtis, the tackle of A1chi-
gan, disqualified for slugging. and EckersaIl,
quick TO observe the consequent weakness in Mchi-
gan's defence, directed most of the line plays
agalnSt Patr1Sk. who took the place OF Curtis;
Outside of all this. however, Chicago outplayed
Neither team scored in the first half. Chicago
won the toss and chose the north goal, with the
ball TO Michigan's 35-yard line. following an ex-s
change Of punts and hard line buckng by
Bezdek and Walker, but at this time, when it
seemed that Eckersa1l would be called for drop
wick, Chicago penalized fifteen yards for hold
ing in the line, and any chance of scoring disap-
pesred.
The safety touchdown made late in the sec
ond half Both Chicago and Michigan had failed
to find weak spots in the opposing line, and the
punting had been resumed with slight advantage
In favor OF Chicago. Finally, with the ball on

was played before crowd of one thousand spec
tators who made things lively for both teams by
their roofing and songs The Holy Cross rooters
took the north side of the field while the Fordham
followers were the south side. and they inter-
changed songs and cries. The weather was de-
cdedly cold, and a strong wind was blowing, which
made punts and kicks from the field go wide Of
their mark.
The Drawn and sinew of the Holy Cross eleven
were responsible for the victory. Weighing fifteen
pounds to a man moro than Fordham, the team
simply crushed the local line with a fierce and
powerful attack. At times, however, the Bronx
eleven held and even threw the Holy Cross run
ners back for a loss. The Worcester boys made
most of their gains through the line on account
Of their weight, but were unable to circle the
Fordham ends Fordham, on the other hand, mace
most of her gains by ciTcling the ends.
