BIG GAME IN GOTHAM,

Chicago, Oct. 29.-The football treat
of the year, the largest affair at Mar
shall field for 1910, is taking place
here today when Minnesota university
met Chicago university for its annual
battle. Although Minnesota's knowI-
edge, speed and experience has made
them favorites and both sides concede
them a victory, the game is an un-
usual one for spectators. Coach Stagg
of Chicago has evolved a number of
new plays which have worked well in
practice and declares his team in bet
ter shape than ever before. Coach
Williams and Captain Johnston of
Minnesota admitted their confidence
but neither was willing to predict a
score.
The game started at 2:3O O'Clock.
The officials are: Referee, Lieutenant
Hackett, West Point; umpire, Endlsey
of Purdue; field judge, Fleager, Pur-
due; head 1neman, Woodruff of Yale.
Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 29.-FootbaIl
practice on a gridiron of rock hard
ness has not left the Kansas univer-
sity team in the best of condition for
the game with Washburn college of
Topeka here this afternoon Several
players are suffering from sprains and
bruises. Another has the mumps. How
ever, Kansas rooters predict that
Coach Kennedy's men will win from
Washburn by two or three touch
downs.
New York. Oct. .29.-New Workers
today had their one chance of the sea-
son to see big college football game
here, in the meeting of Princeton and
Dartmouth on the gridtron at the Polo
grounds.
Dartmouth tied Princeton last year
and beat the Tiger team the year pre-
vious.
Kansas City, Oct 29.-The outcome
of the football game here today be-
tween st. Louis university and the
Haskell Indians means much to the
coaches of the two teams. The grid
iron battle today is in reality a con-
tinuation of old Kansas-Nebraska feud
Johnny Bender, coach of the st. Louis
team, is an old Nebraska player. 'Bill''
Caldwell, who has the conditioning of
the Indians in hand, was on the Kan
sas team for three years. Last year
Bender coached the Haskell team and
succeeded in defeating Nebraska, which
fact also adds interest to the contest
Madison, Wis, Oct. 29.-Wisconsin
and Northwestern university teams
will meet on Randall field here this af-
ternoon for what is expected to be the
closest game of the season. The teams
appear to be evenly matched and con-
| fident. Both expect to make much use
