tions 10 Washington TO present the
claims of their respective cities for
additional appropriations for public

much as I was going to Washington,
anyway: that T appear before the

Washington, I secured an interview
with Congressman Aiken and told

he had all the information that he
needed from Post Master Purcell,
and that if any allowance was made
for his district for public buildings.
he would give the preference to New

FIRST TIME IN FOUR YEARS.

Northwestern and Illinois will meet
at Urbana today in their first contest
for four years, and in the first invasion
by the Evanston men of the strong
hold of the Illini for five years. While
most of the Illinois team are veterans
and several will retire from the grid
iron after todays contest because they
have played they will have played their
allotted time, Northwestern men, al
most without exception, are novices in
Intercollegiate football, not a man on
the team having played in more than
one big game.
Illinois hopes to end the season by
a great victory and in blaze of glory.
A victory would mean one of the most
successful seasons the state university
men have ever had for they have won
all their games with the exception of
the one with Chicago, which was lost
by a close score. Northwestern has
lost its only big game, that with Pur-
due by a close score, and the followin &
week Illinois defeated the boilermakers.

THE FIGHT IS ARRANGED
Tim O'Neil and Carl Ander
son to Meet on New
Years Day.

One of the most interesting boxing
contests of the season will be a bout
between Tim O'Neil and Carl Anderson.
It will be remembered that Anderson
issued a challenge to O'Neil and Tim
was not at all slow in taking him up.
The fight is to be for $500 side bet,
and will be a warm contest. The two
men are to go on New Years day and
they have agreed to weigh 15S ring
side.
The fight on New Years day is con-
tingent on the condition of Tim after
his fight with Dick Fitzpatrick on Dec.
10. If O'Neil comes out of that battle
all right without hurting his hands or
injuring himself in any other manner
he will go on with Anderson.
He would, however, he foolish to take
on an engagement with the Hammond
man if he was injured in the Fitzpat-
rick fight. AS soon as O'Neil is through
with his Fitzpatrick battle he will post
forfeit to fight Anderson for the $500
side bet

GARY TEAM GETS GAME
Expects to Give a Good Ac-
count of Itself in Ap-
preaching Contest.

The Gary football team. which will
try conclusions with the team repre-
senting the West End Athletic club Of
Michigan City, and although the eleven
from the steel city was trimmed in a
recent game. the members of the team
are confident that they can turn the
tables this time.
The Gary football team is practicing
every evening for the game and it ex-
poets to put up a good article of ball
when the time comes. In fact, it will
have to do something to redeem itself
in the eyes of the Clarifies.
The game next Thanksgiving is ex-
pected to be one of the events of the
day. 1t is expected that there will be
a large crowd out to see the game and
the Gary boys hope to live up to the
traditions of the city by winning the
game from their eastern neghbors
The game will be played at the Gary
baseball park, which is located at the
corner of Twenty-seventh avenue and
Broadway.

YosTs TEAM FIT FOR BATTLE.
Run Through Secret Practice for SYRIA
cuse Game Yesterday.

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov. 21.-The big
Michigan team is on edge for its
struggle with the husky eleven Of
Syracuse university in the Stadium here
today. Coach Yost's charges had a
very satisfactory secret practice yes
terday afternoon and later all the men
were confident that the Wolverines had
perfected an attack that and defense
that were sure to bring victory to the
westerners.
Coach Yost stated last night that his
men were in prime condition and, bar
ring accident, expected a favorable out
come. Coach Jones of the Syracuse team
is not making any predictions, but his
men are playing a better game of foot
ball today than they were when they
held Yale to single touchdown and
outplayed Princeton In scoreless
game. Syracuse had no scrimmage yes
terday, but was merely put through a
light signal practice.

FIRST BASKETBALL
TEAM IS ORGANIZED
High School Club Is Now
Negotiating For Skating
Rink Casino.

The basketball team of the Gary
high school is now negotiating through
Principal Seargent for the use of the
Gary Casino, where the lights will be
raised in such a manner that the place
will be suitable for the playing of bas-
ket-ball. The Gary high school bas-
ket-ball team has already been organ
lied and is now waiting to start in
actual practice until they see where
they will put up the goal posts.
At first 1t was thought to rig up the
corridor of the Jefferson school build
ing in which to play the game, but it
was found that it was not spacious
enough to accommodate them. The
skating rink will be admirably adapted
to the game because of the fact that
the spectators may watch the game
without having to interfere on the
floor with the players. There is a large
balcony from which the spectators can
watch the game.
Everything to Favor Team.
The deal for the rink has not been
closed as yet, but the owners say they
will raise the lights if necessary, give
the floor to the boys and guarantee the
expenses Of all visiting teams. This
means that there is no chance of the
high school boys running into debt on
the season. They, however, are asking
for a remuneration for their services
The basketball for the team has ar
rived at Sax & Savages and will be
turned over to the team today. The
sporting goods house has searched
Chicago but as yet they have been un-
able to find baskets of regulation size
There is the first basket ball team
which the high school has turned out
but they feel that in spite of their
inexperience that they will be able tc
do the school credit.

Charlottesville, Ind. Nov. 81. -
Wabash college defeated Depauw uni
versity at Ingalls, field yesterday after
noon. IL to 0, in a stubbornly contested
game. Practically all of the play was
in Depauw territory and the visitors
never had the ball within the scarlet
twenty-yard line. Wabash could not
score in the first, but in the second
half two touchdowns were secured in
quick succession. Steirs made both
scores carrying the ball on straight
football. Neither team executed
single successful forward pass. Har-
grave of Wabash outpunted Overman

NOTES
TITLE SETTLED TO-DAY
Western Championship In
volved in Big Contest
at Madison.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 21.-The title of
western football champions will be
settled here today when the Staggian
Maroons from the University of Chicago
tackle Wisconsins shifty team of
Badgers. The rivals for first honors
are going into battle with clean states
and the winners will read their titles
clean to western gridiron supremacy.
Chicago is a big favorite on the eve
of battle, even in the enemy's strong
hold. Wisconsin money is scarce, but
pops into view now and then when odds
of to 1 are offered against 1t.
Captain Steffens crowd from the Mid
way broke bread with the Badgers at
one of those purity feeds last night No
casualties were reported and the ante
bellum statement to the effect that "All
the men are in good shape" still holds
good Contrary to custom, the coach
and captain of one team didn't hand out
the bunk about what good guys their
opponents were No speeches marred the
spread, which was over quickly.
Badger Hopes Rise.
Regardless of the fact that Wiscon-
sins adherents fear their team is just
a big overmatched, they are focking
back to Wisconsin in droves. The old
grads of Wisconsin feel that they have
fair chance of seeing their warriors
capture the championship. but they
don't figure the scrap as quite an even
proposition. with a little luck we
will win" is the way they size up the
situation.

collie to welcome back its erstwhile

houses and most of the residences are
