How Western Teams Size Up.
The fight for the western Champion
ship should be fought keenly. for all
the colleges will be represented by
strong elevens and the honors do ap-
pear to be already in the grasp of some
team. which has frequently been the
case in this section. That Chicago will
have rough course TO cover to retain
its championship laurels is assured by
the preparations which have been and
are being made for the coming season
at the different colleges.
While Wisconsin will suffer through
the loss of Steihm. Messmer, Rogers
and Mucklestone. Sill Osthoff. MoII
Dean, Culver. Benker. Bell and Cap
tain Wilce viii form a nucleus for a
strong and fast aggregation. Among
| the new men are Boyle, Anderson and
Arpfn. Coach Barry believes he has
! the find of the season in Anderson. a
freshman. who is fast and quick witted.
The Badgers have a large SQUAD and
should give both Minnesota and Chit
cage a hard run.
From all reports Minnesota should
have a better team than last year. not
being greatly affected by the loss of
veterans Plankers and Stafford were
the only men to go. Captain Johnny
McGovern is a good kicker, and with
Pettijohn, kaufman and Chestnut to
take the ends or backs he should have
little trouble in successfully working
the forward pass. Coach Williams has
also unearthed some phenoms among
his freshmen who will add consider
able strength. Johnson. who weighs
about 175 pounds, is considered a sec
i ond Heston and Powers, with his -
pounds of beef. Is a fast and agw8
linesman, considering his weight. With
this group as a nucleus Minnesota
should give Chicago the hardest game
of the season.
Although Chicago has lost five of
last years p1ayers-ex-Captai Steffen.
Schott, Schommer, Iddings and FaIk.
still Coach Stage has splendid material
to work on. OF course, Stenen's loss
will be greatly felt, as he was one of
the best dodgers and field generals the
game has ever known.
Captain Page will no doubt take the
place Of Steffen at quarter and should
almost prove the latter's equal. Kelly.
norman, Badenoch, Hirschl and Ehr-
horn are old linesmen who turned

back field will be intact with tha

sampson, all fast and strong men.

Smith. D. Smith. Rademacher. Casset-

Indiana should be able to frame nm
