Coach Stewart is not working his

afternoon as to Michigan's chances

All Eyes on YaIe-Harvard Game.

Reports indicate that the greatest
crowd New York has ever sent to a
football game will be present Satur-
day in New Haven. The betting to-
day favors Harvard, though it must be
admitted there is little Harvard money
in sight and practically no Yale money.
Elis followers are hopeful, but hardly
enough to back their team with large
sums. The air of expectancy that has
settled about the game will make it
the most attractive of the year. Har-
ward has the best team that has de-
Tended her colors for years. Yale, on
the other hand. has a team that is en-
tirely problematical. Early in the year
Yale lost to Brown and the Army.
Then she took a brace and defeated
Princeton's strong eleven. Now she
promises a surprise for Harvard.

appearance of the former trainer,
Keene Fitzpatrick, in Ann Arbor.
Keene has finished his football work
at Princeton and has come back to his
old school to help Yost prepare the
Wolverines for the Gopher struggle.
And Keene is no SLOUGH at coaching
either. He is not only trainer. He
knows the game of football all the way

deep study of it. Last season he help
ed the coach in blocking. He proved
specially helpful in teaching the ends
how to get down the field under punts.
Now Keene is back on his old stamp
ing ground working for all he is worth
to make UP for the long time he has
been away from the Wolverines.
''The team looks awfully good to
me- said Keene after the practice this

Gophers Have Strange Fancies.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 18.-If
Minnesota beats Michigan next Satur-
day the Gophers may claim the foot
ball championship of America upon
the following comparative score basis:
Pennsylvania easily defeated Brown,
90 to 0. Brown defeated Yale, 81 to 0,
and held Harvard to 10.
Upon this method of reasoning,
Pennsylvania is better than Harvard
or Yale, and as Yale defeated Prince
ton the Quakers class ahead of any of
the casts big three.
Michigan played Pennsylvania to a
scoreless draw and therefore is en-
titled to rank at least ever with Penn
sylvania. Therefore if Minnesota wins
the game next Saturday the Gophers
think they will have a legitimate claim
upon the American championship,
which possibly only a game at Har-
ward could decide, and that is purely a
dream contest
