It was greatly regretted that the
game could not be played tn close
as forthw estern closes its football
season next Saturday, it was the last
scrimmage with Sacred Heart for this
year.
Next Saturday. the n. ". u. go
to Appleton 20 play Lawrence univer-
sity at that place. Having piayed
Marquette last Saturday and probably
wiser for the experience. the Lawrence
team will play harde ba ii than ever
and to all appearances expect its
annual victory. Refreshed from a
three weeks rest Northwestern will
give Lawrence the hardest game ever
played with the local Varsity With
the exception Of Probst, who is still
suffering from a bruised knee, all the
men are in perfect trim. The team
work is better than ever, the forward
passes and long end runs could not be
performed better. Never were the
prospects for downing the Appleton
Varsity, brighter, and if the team is
defeated this year, it will again be
several years before the local Varsity
can entertain the hope of winning
from Lawrence.
Owing to particulars recently fe-
ceived from Lawrence game last Sat-
urdsv, and upon the decision OF the
faculty the game with Marquette uni
