We have had plenty Of disagreeable
weather this week, which was espe-
cially noticeable on Tuesday and
Wednesday, when we had consider
able rain. On Tuesday the rainfall
amounted to so Of an inch, and on
Wednesday 20 ofan inch fell. Wednes.
day night we had the coolest snap Of
the season so far, the thermometer
registering 20 degrees above zero. The
weather bureau says it is impossible
to do any long distance pr~ophesylng
on the weather, but 1t looks as though
we we're going to have as wet and cold
a winter as We had a year ago, which
is mighty dlscouraglng to people who

run from El Paso to Los Angeles, in
stead of a portion of them running
from ri Paso to Tucson, and the rest
OF them runnig from Tucson to Los

of course the helpers we're picked from

CHICAGO APPEALS
FROM BOONE DECISION

Dean Jones today received notice Of an appeal
by the Chicago athletic authorities from his de-
cis1on while acting big nine arbitrator de-
clar1ng that Dan Boone, the big Chicago half
back, had played his allotted four years and was
not eligible to the Chicago team. With the ap-
peaple was submitted additional evidence gath
cred by the Chicago authorities and purporting
to show that Hillsdale college, the Indiana
school attended by Boone before e went to Chi
cago was not college Which would come un-
der the four-year-rue.
Boone was accused Of playing three years on
the Hillsdale college team before he went to
Chicago, and as he played last year on Stagg' S
team Purdue university protested him under
the four-year rule. Boone admitted that he
had played two years at Hillsdale, but claimed
that Hillsdals college did not come under the
conference rule. In athletics and in collegiate
work Dean Jones found that Hillsdale had the
rank of college and at the time of Boone's
playing was a member of the Indiana collegiat te
conference.
| The decision Of Dean Jones as arbitrator
! did not please the Chicago authorities and they
have appealed to all the members Of the bic
nine conference in an effort to get Boone rein
| stated In time for the Michigan game. It i;
| thought that the move for the reinstatement Of
| Boone will not be successful as dispatches statt

| Barton Of Illinois and other representatives OF

Maroon Supporters Confident
Michigan's Goal Line Will Be

Chicago, Nov. 27.-The Chronicle says: Inter-

gan and Chicago. The teams practically had

tain some of the greatest players ever seen

ly the championship Of the west. .~.,. ..'
Michigan remains hot favorite. To all ap-
pearances she is to hold the title, and it seems
to the best critics of the west that she has
the greatest team. Chicago has a chance. The
maroons, will fight this year as they never have
before in a game with the wolverines, but it
looks as if their fight will be uphill, and they
will be fortunate II they score.
That Chicago will score is believed by all
the enthusiastic supporters of the Midway eleven.
as confident that Yost's team will so thru the
season without a count being made against it.
Betting Will Be Brisk.
Odds of three to one on Michigan to win are
ofered by Michigan students, and the money is
seldom covered. Even money that Chicago will
score is offered by the Chicago followers, and
is fbae wifi ahsed b neDt gD by o the Msha
the game, but there will be little placed on the
final result. Nearly all Of the bets are on the

| latter bet is considered good one by the ma
rooms, for they bank on Eckersall's good right
| foot to make them winners. II the little ma
| room quarterback gets to the wolverines
40-yard line goal is likely to result.
| There were no games of great interest in the
west Saturday. The game between Minnesots
and Northwestern at Minnesota was the only
one to attract attention, and it was only s
question of how big a score the gophers woulC

Chicago, Nov. 27.-The Inter Ocean says: With
Saturdays game the football season Of 1905
was practically over in the East, but the best
is yet to come in the west. While the number
section OF the country. yet the quality VIII make
up for all other deficiencies.
Two great unbeaten teams, perhaps the great
est the west has ever seen. will crash on Mar
shall field next Thursday. Michigan has not
been scored on, while Chicagos goal line has
been crossed but onee and that time by Jimmy
SheldOn's boosters.
Michigan rooters will not admit that there
is even possibility that Yost's men will fall
before Stagg's warriors. On the other hand,
some of the at the Midway who are In
close touch with Stagg and the team. say that
Chicago will win the game. The general opin-
ion, however, Is that the maroOns have only
the smallest possible chance of lowering the
colors of the four-times champions of the west
Eckersan the Key.
1t is admitted by Michigan and Chicago alike
that upon the work of Eckersall depends the
outcome Of the decisive gtidiron struggle. The
little maroon has been feared in former years
by the wolverines. and every time he has played
against them he has shown that they have had
cause to fear him. IL =..r
That EckersaI is at the zenith of his foot
ball ability is admitted by all critics of the
game. He has become surer and more accurate
of his old-time speed. In kicking there has
been hardly game this season that he has
not kicked goal from the field.
Gophers Out Of It.
Minnesota's overwhelming defeat of North
western will not give the gophers any chance
to make claim on the western championship.
OF course they show that by cOmparat tive
scores they have the best team, but in these
days of football advancement comparative scores
count for nothing. The game showed the weak
ness Of the purple team rather than any great
strength OH the part of the winners.
| Michigan toyed with the weak team from
| Oberlin and played nothing but straight foot
ball, the score, rs to o. doubtless shows.
| Michigan used many subs-in fact, the entire
| backield was composed of subs. When the
game finished every regular the Michi-
| gan team had scored a touchdown this season.
There were other games of any Importance.
The maroon team spent today at the Onwent-
sia club and took complete and much needed
rest. The men were the guests of J. O. Hey
worth. Yale alumnus who is great rooter
for Stagg and his maroons., A significant fact
was that De Tray was in the party.

THANKSGIVING DAY GAME
WILL BE FIERCE FIGHT

North Side and ST. Thomas will have the CEN
ter of the stage to themselves on THANKSGIVING
day. With the other high-school teams dis.
banded and the university ended, local
football interest will center at North Side field.
/. Aside from the varsity there are no teams
In this section Of the country which can COM
pare with the elevens scheduled to battle Thurs
day afternoon North has not been defeated this
year and st. Thomas lost to Carleton. the collie
glate champion, only by missed goal. Both
teams are in the best of condition and will play
to the limit The only possible comparison be-
tween the teams Is thru their scores against
the Hamline medics. ST. Thomas won 10 to U
and North 5 to O. This alone is sufficient to
guarantee hard, close game.
unfortunately for st. Thomas Cunningham,
the fast quarter, is out Of the game and his
place Will be taken by Sanborn. Cunningham is
one OF the fastest quarters who has been seen
on the local gridiron this fall and while his
substitute suint Is good man. he cannot run the
saints at their maximum speed. In the line at
least. st. Thomas is onsiaersbly lighter than
the high-school team, but should be- able to
offset this deficiency by speed. Duggan will
prove tough opponent for the North high lines.

made good. and will give the high-sch guards
a tough time. Captain O'Shaughnessy, who
plays right half. is reliable when it comes to

gamers for st. Thomas
Coach Rogers has taught his pupils some
! mighty clever plays and has drilled them to the
point where they go thru without hitch. With
the st. Thomas team In good condition and
playing up to its usual standard, North will be
in great danger.
1t Is a long time since North high has played
and the blue and white team has rather dropped
out Of sight The daily report from North Side
field has been that Coach Nye is keeping up the
regular practice. every man is out and there are
no crlpples. This being the the high-schoo
team should put up strong game.
The men who will be the ground gamers fol
North next Thursday are the Oswalds the

find the saints the stiffest opponents they have
encountered this year, with the possible excep
