Chicago, Nov. 1.-Socker football will be intro
duced as college sport at the University Of
Chicago. Coach Stage started the movement
yesterday by asking the schools Of philosophy
and letters Of the Junior colleges to organize
teams. He will supervise the work.
Mr.. Stage intends to make the socker game
regular college sport and in time to have
intercollegiate games with the other western
universities. He believes that the English game
will afford pastime for the great mass Of stu.
dents, as Drawn is not requisite Of socker
as It is of the American game. He hopes to
have several teams playing in the near future,
and thus interest the great mass of university
students in athletics.
Two teams are now being organized and games
will be played IN week or two
Coach Stage is taking no chances Of Mich
igan man finding out anything concerning the
work or condition of the squad. Besides bar.
ring everyone from practice, new order has
been issued forbidding entrance to the gym.

FRESHMEN WORKED {.
In THE SNOW FIELD
BY L. L. Collins.

Sig Harris freshmen regulars bucked eleven
second team men and three inches Of snow for
three quarters OF an hour yesterday afternoon
in the Northrop field back yard. In the con-
ditiontng of Northrop field for the big game the
baseball diamond practice ground of the fresh
men was overlooked and snow and ice faced
the squad when it turned out for scrimmage
work. - rs :-- .,$S.><,
There was no, gru1nbling. however, and the
freshmen didn't notice the condition Of the field
after Coach Harris preliminary talk. Sig told
them that they were to be outwe1ghed Saturday,
and that the Madison team was fast and expert
enced. He also spoke bOf the handicap under
which the freshmen must work owing to the
recent snowstorm and the weather conditions.
Then he told them that the freshman game had
to be won and the members Of the team pro-
ceeded to show how they felt about 1t by tears
ing big holes in the second team line. !.
Altogether the practice was one Of the most
satisfactory Of the year. Owing to the cold,
there was some fumbling, but the men had the
right spirit and worked to the limit. There
are now no cripples on the squad, and the for
nations to be used against Wisconsin were
rehearsed with the princtpals in their parts.
Merrill and Bly, alternated at halfback, while
Frykman ~ sErtl, Hubbard,i, Atkinson Vidal and
Hawley4 were all given a chance at the halfback
Positions q Moore was at quarterback and he
showed increased speed in starting his plays
After three-quarters Of an hour Sig Harris
dismissed the squad. There was no signal work
in the armory, as the men were tired out with
their exertions on the slippery field. -.-
No announcement has yet been made Of the
officials of the freshman game to be played Sat-
urday morning. The game is to be called at
10 o'clock and the halves will be thirty minutes
in length Tickets are now on sale at the regu-
lar places in both Minneapolis and st. Paul. The
prices for the game 90 cents, 81 and $3.50.
Freshmen enthusiasts are already planning an
organized roofing for the freshman game, and II
is probable that a meeting Of the university
freshman class will be called for the purpose
Of making arrangements for organizing a fresh
man roofing club which will begin operations
at the morning game and continue until the
close Of the varsity contest in the afternoon.

CORNACK'S JOB

His Reiteration Of Determination
to Retire Brings Suggestions
for Successor.

VVuAo04 SRooaAA OoSt1Cos q
Chicago, Nov. 1.-McCornack's reiteration Of
the fact that he will retire from coaching at
the end Of this year has caused much specula-
ton as to his successor. There appears to be
no regret at McCornack's leaving, and this may
be considered as rather contradictory to the
attitude the Evanston school adopted TOWARD
the Dartmouth man after he played the maroons
to tie in 1908 and defeated Illinois by the
score Of IL to last year. Among those mem
toned as his successor are Harry Allen and
Maurice Conner, assistants to Mccormack; Hogan
Of Yale and Hernstein of Michigan.
Mccormack spent the greater part Of the tine
yesterday In teaching, the men the rudiments
of socker football. The men took to the game
eagerly and played hard and fast. Trainer
Holland proved to be the best man at the Eng:
lish game, and scored several goals.
Light signal practice was then engaged in.
Granberg and Shaver were not out, but. Nc
Cornack hopes to have them in condition for
out, and all Of them appeared to have recov
cred from the effects OF the Chicago game.
Mccormack has admitted that his team VIII

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The Harvard football
management has protested against University OF
Pennsylvania playing Lamson, its right tackle,
who is the strongest man on the quaker's line,
or Zilligen, one Of the sub forwards, against the
Harvard team on Franklin field Nov. II.
While the university officials refuse to make
any statement regarding the matter, 1t has beeL
learned that Lamson has been protested on the
ground that he played two years at Colorado
college, two years at Swarthmore, and that this
is his sixth year in intercollegiate football.
zilligen, the Harvard protest asserts, is pro-
fessional. - ~ - ~a i
Harvard's protest has aroused more bitte1
feeling at the quaker institution than any event
since the crimson tried to keep Joe McCracken
out of the annual game several years ago. Har-
ward will be told she can play the team the
University Of Pennsylvania selects OF she can
forfeit the game.
Today meeting will be held and an answer
made. There is no doubt regarding what the
answer will be. The wording is immaterial.
Harvard will be given her choice Of playing the
team whose eligibility Pennsylvania faculty has
passed on or refusing to play. SS

FORT DODGE, 1oWA.-The city council has
adopted resolutions looking toward the disso-
luton Of the local board of insurance agents and

that will permit of competition between agents.
Under the present management, all Insurance
agents Of the so-called o1d-line companies pre-
sent their policies to an appointed agent who
stamps them before forwarding them or re-
turning them to the agent presenting them. In
this way, discrimination or cut rate cannot

Members of the council harbor the idea that
the board is nothing more or less than pool
formed for the purpose Of keeping down com.

At the regular meeting Of the council, resolu:
tions were adopted calling upon the governor OF
the state and the state auditor to forward to
the president Of each insurance company in the

swear that their company has no compact Or
agreement or understanding with other companies
