The game was devised several years

for entertaining his week end guests.
The space required for the game Is
about the same size as the regulation

Chicago. Dec. 5.-The football sea-
son of 1907 may see but one big game
between the members of the Big
Four of the Big Nine, that
being the game already scheduled
for Nov. between Chicago and Mime
sofa at Minneapolis 1t now develops
that the threecornered agreement by
which Michigan, Chicago and Wiscon-
sin decided to postpone their meeting
in football indefinitely is binding upon
all three and cannot be set aside by one
or the other of the schools at will.
This means, practically, that Wiscon-
sin might raise objections to the sched-
uling of a Chicago Michigan game I'M
less a Wisconsin Chicago game were ar
ranged, or that Michigan might not see
the justice in the resumption of foot
ball games between Chicago and Wis
consin without the annual Chicago
Michigan game:
Chicago appears to be the keystone
of the situation, for Manager Charles
Baird of Michigan has said that it
rests with the Chicago senate as to
whether or not the game shall be
played, and it is practically certain
that there would be no hitch from the
wolverines. Wisconsin has also init
mated that it is willing to meet Chi
