readily granted.

down before the keyboard.

Frank turned back to his work and
did not look up until an exclamation
from Cole attracted his attention. Cole

AWFUL SLUMP IS
CHICAGO REPORT
Stagg's Warriors Said to Have
Fallen After Seeing VOL
verines Down Illini.
Journal Special Service,

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, Nov. AFTER having seen Michigan
wallop the unfortunate Him on Saturday, the
maroon team returned to practice yesterday,
ana there was awful slump in their work.
Whether the slump is the psychological result
of having seen the strength Of the wolverines,
or whether it was due to the logical sequence
Of events in the pigskin world, it is at preseAt
impossible TO determine. ...
The great versatility Of the Michigan offense
appears to have made decided impression on
the mind Of the maroon coach, because he i'm
mediately set to work to give the regulars a
strenuous drill on defensive work. First the
freshmen were given. the ball on the varsity
25-yard line and told to keep it. until they
scored touchdown, regardless OF the number
Of downs required. ...
They pushed the ball over SO often that
Coach Stagg lost count of the number of scores
The scrubs were then put in, and they also
pushed the varsity around somewhat.
While the reports from Coach Stage are moi
encouraging, Coach Purcell Of the socker squad
reports a promising afternoons work. He says
that the candidates for association honors are
learning the game rapidly, and that he will
| soon have a creditable team in the field.

Red Wing, Mimi, Nov. THE ski runners
of Red Wing, who hope to carry of the prizes
in the big Journeys planned by the National SKI
Runners association for the coming winter,
have made discovery which will contribute to
that result. VIII McKinistry. Ole Mangseth and
Harris Anderson, appointed committee to
consider the best place to have the ski t0urna-
ments in Red Wing this winter, have found
real ski hill. 1t is many times better than the
old one and is great gre III find that that means mucn
The new hill Ia 100 feet this side of the old
one. The starting point Is the same, but In
stead of proceeding over the crest, the decline
will be thru a wide gully, with a shoot Of 400
at this angle and will far exceed in its speed
rate the former hill. The landing slope Is 800
feet against $50 feet last year. If the bump
was placed on the brink Of the summit Of the
| seventy or eighty feet in the air. That Is more
however, than the skiers OF coolest nerve would
care to tackle The bump WILL therefore, be
placed seventy Ave feet back from the brink so
that the skier in his parabola will follow the
contour Of the hill rather than be projected into
the air. @s
! 4Ishpeming has visions of beating the Red Wing
record. Their tremendously high scaffolding at
| the top of the hill will be higher and longer.
The rock which interfered with the speed has
been blasted away, and the boys there are going
after Thompsons 11s-foot jump They do not
realize that the Red Wing skters will have a
new record before the time of the national
| tournament at Ishpeming Feb. % that will
! leave their own former record of 134 feet in the
| rear.
The side ridges of the new hill will afford a
| shelter from the fierce winds for the skiers
and afford a natural amphttheater which will
seat several thousand persons. Every one of the
spectators see the entire course from tor
to bottom. The prospect is that The Red Wing
skiers will surpass all former records this season
and make it necessary for any who wish to trot
| In their class to go some.

COLUMBIA DIRTY,
IS YALE'S CHARGE.
Deliberate Attempts to Cripple
Blues Players Alleged by
Eli Enthusiasts.
Journal special Service.


New Haven, Nov. 7.-Charges of deliberate at
tempts to injure Yale men by the Columbia
eleven Saturday are heard in 1ale's camp. Inc
real condition of the Yale eleven was at nrst
not known save to the elect, but 1t now appears
that many Of the players are in bad way and
Columbia is blamed for the injury to some OF the
men.
1t was said by one identified with the Yale
team that When Jones went into the game ne
was evidently marked for injury and that the
Columbia men found him quickly. He also said
that some Columbia player deliberately twisted
Jones' sore ankle, putting 1t out OF commission
again In consequence of this 1t is alleged tnat
Jones was able to play but FIVE minutes. while
his condition before the game indicated that he
was good for the game.
J 1t is also said here that when Hutchinson
went in he was also handled roughly by his op-
ponents. Sam Morse came out of the game. with
a broken nose and Stevenson, who took his place
has badly bruised thigh. Neither Of these
players will be long out of the game. Still an
other injured man whose loss would be a ser1
GUS blow to Yale is Jack Gates. Saturday the
ligamerts of shoulder were torn and he is oud
Of the game for at least week, and it Is
doubtful If he can be brought to condition II
time for the Princeton contest.
There Is sentiment here that in view OF tht
! feeling engendered by the Saturday game tina
Yale may not agree to contest next year. Th
teams have agreement save as they arrang
for contests from year to year. The reason
for the alleged dirty work by Columbia is sal
to be due to the presence of Foster Sanf0r
on the coaching staff at Yale. 1t was said her
today to belittle Sanford's work it tn
| purpose Of the Columbia men to 50 disable Yal
! that poor showing would be made by the dar
| blue. ."r
| Sanford was at one time Columbia coach an
| left there at the request of the Columbia foot
| ball officials. who paid bonus to him in lie
| of his finishing out fve-year contract.
| Because Of the long list of cripples and tn
need Of rest the entire football squad was e,
| cused from practice yesterday.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. Captain Norcross
of the University of Michigan football team
has returned to Ann Arbor after witnessing the
great game between Wisconsin and Minnesota.
His presence at the training table caused much
excitement among the players. Frank Longman,
after listening to Norcross talk for half an hour

100 per cent better than they were last year.
! why he said ..you can see how good they
are when Wrabetz and Clark, who played regu-
lar last year, not good enough to make the
| team this year."
| Somebody asked what was the matter with
Vanderboom; was he little afraid owing to
broken jaw. "No," said the captain, 'he is as
| good as ever but Minnesota was laying for
| him, and besides Findlay was playing a great
game this year and really outshadows Van. L
think Findlay Is Wisconsins best man. Bertke
Is another star man. Their backfeld gets away
about as fast as any ever saw, and their line
| is strong"
When asked about Wisconsins weak points,
he said they were hard to find, but If they had
any 1t was at quarterback. He said both teams
were poor In catching punts. The Minnesota
team was big and strong, but could not touch
Wisconsin when 1t came to speed.

Wisconsin will fght from start to hnish and
it will take Nichigans best efforts to beat them
