Minnesota is the leading exponent of western
football this fall. Michigan has an unbeaten
team, altho not as strong Minnesota or as
strong as Michigan teams of previous seasons
so far as can be judged. r. IL

the best teams Of the east. Harvard just man.

ed Pennsylvania and have one of the best rec.
ords ever secured by the redskins. - afFa,E@
Minnesota must beat the Indians decisively,
and Its supporters and admirers predict that Ii
will do so. If the Indians are beaten by a
better score than that of Harvard it will be
admitted that Minnesota has a claim to ranking
as the premier eleven of 1.-The country, or at
least as a claimant for that title. ,,.
Michigan victory over Pennsylvania does
not mean SO much. Michigan men will be
deeply disappointed If Yost does not trim the
red and blue, even without the services of Joe
Curtis, one of the big factors of Michigan
offensive and defensive strength Pennsylvania
is not frst-class team by any means this
year 1t has been great disappointment If
1t beats Michigan, there will be considerable
grief In the wolverine camp. 81. -
The game that is really the climax of the
year In the east today Is the annual Princeton
Yale battle. On the seasons form, the tigers
look far and away the best. They ought to
defeat Yale. If they turn the trick, Princeton
will be hailed as the leading team Of the year
at least by eastern critics. >~ p.
Old Nassau seems to have secured q better
conception of the new. rules than any of the
other eleyens. and, with excellent material, has
forged rapidly to the 'front.' beating all corners

Harvard meets Dartmouth in their annual
game, and despite the sorry showing against
Princeton, Dartmouth hopes to give Harvard all
1t can handle. Chicago plays its annual game
with Illinois on Marshall field, a and 1t should
prove an excellent contest. There seems to be
a general impression that It is only a question
Of how big score Chicago will run up. Illinois
has made fairly good record, holding Michigan
close and scoring twice and being beaten by
Wisconsin with nearly all Of its regulars dis
abled. The team will be in vastly better shape
for Chicago. altho 1t will not have its regular
backield working. - - -

Madison, Wis, Nov. 17.-Wisconsin is all
ready for the final football game of the season.
1t comes this afternoon at Camp Randall, and
the bunch of husky boilermakers from Purdue
will be the opponents of the badgers. There is
confidence in the badger camp that Wisconsin
putting her thru the season with unbroken
record of victories. DR.. HutchinS has thought
the min were overconfdent and has tried to
eliminate this feeling, but still the men are out
to win and think that they will.
Hutch1ns maintains that today's game will be
just as hard game as has been played by Wis
consin this season. He thinks that the Purdue
team IS just strong as Illinois, and that in
addition, 1t comes here after a good long rest,
while Wisconsin is somewhat battered up as the
result of the game with the Illinl last Saturday.
Wisconsin will not be as strong today as she was
last Saturday.
The coaches put the men thru their last work
last night. 1t was all signal practice there
having been but one scrimmage this week. The
men were drilled again all their shift plays,
their forward pass plays and on sidekick stunts.
Punting and kicking of various kinds
are expected to be important factors
today as they have been in every
game that Wisconsin has played this sea.

the growing Of this crop highly profitable. Then
it needs not to be planted until late in the
spring, thus avoiding all danger from. frost.

thus gives the farmer more time to devote to
his cattle and hogs.
The corn is shipped on the ear, never shelled,
