The annual game which has for years.
been one of the big football contestbs
year, but the feeling on the part Of
the Chicago students is one Of satisfac
ton rather than regret. 81
The Minnesota game is now the big
game Of the maroon schedule, and it,
has filed the place left vacant by the
the entire satisfaction Of the rooters.
here The general feeling is that
there win: be better exhibition Of.
game than has, ever marked tie an
nuals Chicago Michigan contest. ii
The charges and counter charges
that have always preceded the Michil
and the sportsmanship. principles o.
which the Chicago Minnesota games
have been based have turned the senti-
ment in favor of the gophers,. Maroon
supporters have long wanted to see
Stages team play the giants, Of the
north, but the big games for which the
stagg from closing With Minnesota.
Now that the game has been ar
ranged and the contest is practically at
hand satisfaction here is general. The
gopher rather than the Michigan game
will be the big contest this year. and
perhaps fo5 y years to come =, No one is

(; Football for 1905 took its first active
interest yesterday when big Ed Parry,

Chautauqua,, New. York, where he
was the victim of hazing plot the
last day of his stay there, which de-

hair. He was seized by the hazers. who
numbered six and finally overpowered.
His hair was then clipped and Parry
was sent on his way west. but not I'M

| He is not worrying at all about the
offensive end of the game. The new
rules, he believes, have given all sorts
Of possibilities for advancing the, ball.
but it is going to be a hard matter for
the coach to teach the players to meet
the new styles Of attack.
- Stagg will return to the university
last week in September in order to get
things ready for the opening practice
Oct. /. Fred Speik, assistant coach last
year, has been retained to coach again
this fall, and is now arranging the de-
tails for the years work.
Coach Jimmy Sheldon of the Univer
sity Of Indiana team, was former cap
tain and half back on the smaroon team
left this week for Bloomington to begin
work with his team there. He has Ell
cellent material and hopes to win from
Wisconsin at least. Practically all OF
the veterans Of last years team will be
back to help him out.
One rule which is q great handicap
to the maroon squad is that forbiddinf
practice to begin before the school
opens, Oct. l. This will give an adj
vantage to the. schools opening earlier.
Stagg has sent each man q new foot
ball with which to practice during this
month, in order that each candidate may
be ready to jump right into the regular
practice. And he urged them to spend
an hour or two each day. When the
school opens everybody ought to be Ii
