Chicago. following the lead of Michigan and Minnesota. will have an Eastern football game this coming season or rather a game against an Eastern eleven. Pennsylvania and Annapolis have asked for dates, ac- cording to Coach Stagg. and there is a possibility too. according to the same authority. that a match may be arranged with Yale. That matter has been preached to the Yale foot ball authorities, but there has been no definite information on the point.
