MEN Of YOST
MEET CHICAGO
Old Difficulties to be Forgot
ten and a Big Game is
Assured.
PEACE PIPE PASSED
Minnesota and Michigan To Be Big
Games Next Year-Wiseon-
sin Not Scheduled.

Chicago and Michigan, tanned by the
absent treatment this year, probably
will meet in a gridiron struggle next
season. The first step towards re-
newing relations between the vests
greatest rivals has been made by Chi
cago. Michigan's assent is awaited and
with it the red tape will be unwound
preliminary to signing a contract.
Director Stage presented his views
on the topic yesterday. He declared a
football game with the men of Yost
was mot only possible but probable"
and said he could see no reason why
the game should not be played next
year."
Nothing has been done yet towards
getting together for a Chicago Michi-
gan game next season." said the maroon
director. This does not mean, how
ever, there will be no game. A re-
newal of football games between the
two next year not only is possible but
probable. I believe we will play Mich
igan next year
No Time Limit Set.
One year is sufficient for the So
called ardor and hatred, said to be ex-
listing between the two institutions on
account of athletic rivalry, to cool off.
No time limit was set by either Chi
cago and Michigan, and 1 do not believe
it was the plan of either institution to
set a certain period of probation. All
that is necessary is a resumption of
friendly feeling. Nothing has taken
place to handicap the growth of such
a feeling. Much has been done this
year, I feel, toward lettering the
friendly relations of Chicago's athletic
rivals. Perhaps our banquets to visit
ing teams have aided in this.
SO far as Chicago is concerned, the
question of taking on Michigan again
in football probably will be referred to
the athletic board of the university. /
do not anticipate, as some reports have
it, that Michigan will withdraw from
the conference group, although I know
nothing of the plans of the Michigan
leaders"
The announcement that Chicago and
Michigan may again meet, after a years
separation, and under rules that assure
a different style of game from that OF
last Thanksgiving, will be joyfully re
ceived by Maroon rooters. Following
so closely the announcement that a two
year contract had been signed with
Minnesota securing a game in Mime
apolis next year, is means that the Ma
room schedule next year will take or
some of it's old time strenuosity. Wis
consin probably will not come in for 6
game with Chicago next year, for, un-
der the five game Limitation, two bis
games would be all that the Maroon:
cord handle.
Cor the first time this year some O
Stages regulars cut practice yester
day. Captain Eckersall. Templeton
Parry and Russell failed to report a
any time during the afternoon practice
and, as result, Stage had to worl
with a crippled squad and was mucl
put out at the absence of his stars.
The practice field was soggy an.
slippery, but nevertheless the Midwa!
coach picked out a mixed team from
the regulars and the scrubs and sen
them against the freshmen for har,
scrimmage. They succeeded in scoring
twice, on one of these occasions a for
ward pass being the trick by which
Schommer got away for a touchdown
Barker made the other five points OF
straight football The practice, in spit
of the condition of the field and the alb
sence of four of the mainstays. wa
fairly satisfactory. giving the oppor
tunity for the trial of several Of tn
new plays on bad field.
