Chicago, Sept. 15.-Chicago will
draw heavily from the strength of the
western prep" athletic world this
fall in the annual distribution of high
school and academy football and track
material. Despite the recent vail that
most of the desirable athletes would
choose eastern institutions in perfer-
ence to life with the reform pro-
lessons, the maroon school is assured
of its share of the local junior stars,
in addition to classy picking of out

cal schools that will contribute to the
maroon forces. Seven members of
the Hyde Park team-Taylor. Stern,
Milliman, Sunderland. Fitzpatrick,
Way and Collings-have announced
their intention to enter Chicago This
is versatile bunch in itself, as they
are all handy in more than one depart
ment of athletics. Taylor, Way and
Ceilings won points for the blue on

Veteran. Obey Practice Rule.
Marshall field is closed and empty,
and from present appearances the
maroon veterans are going to "be
good and implicitly obey the spirit as
we'll as the letter of the reform rule
in regard to early practice. The rule
forbids practice before the opening of
school. but some of the old midway
guard believed the men would make
use of the Marshall field facilities ION

fulness of this rule is becoming ap-
parent in the maroon camp. With
Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana
and Purdue on the schedule, practical
ly the only difference from the usual
season will be the elimination of sew
eral practice games, the cutting off
OF a month of practice, and the substi-
tuition of Minnesota for Michigan.
1t is figured that Minnesota will be
able to put up just as strong an argu-

reformers, who desired to reduce foot

There have been no further develop
ments in the matter of choosing
place to play the Minnesota game. 1t
remains probable that it will be played
at Minneapolis for financial reasons,
although Coach Stage would prefer
10 nave all the games here.
