FOOTBALL FORECASTS

eral feeling that a rain soaked. slippery field would tend to the advantage of Har- yard
 In event of rain Yale may ask for an agreement that new ball can be put in play upon the call of either captain. This would render field goals less difficult than with a heavy, water soaked ball. An agreement to disregard field goals made by bounding balls like that whlcn gave Princeton a victory over Dartmouth two weeks ago, Is also probable.
 Neither eleven could put in much prac- tice today, though the Harvard men did an hours work in secret.
 Evanston, H., November 24-North- western university football players today left for Iowa City, to play the State uni- versity of Iowa tomorrow. The last week of training cut away much of the hope of the Purple players, because of the number of regular substitute players in- jured during practice. Three men only are in sound condition.
 Chicago. November 24.-Twenty-five University of Wisconsin football players followed by trainers and students from the Badger school came to Chicago to- day to be ready for the game tomorrow with the University of Chicago. Much depends on the game. < Minnesota, now tied with Wisconsin for first place, plays at Champaign, the University of Illinois. Victory for both Wisconsin and Minne- sota would continue the tie, defeat for both of them would add Chicago to the tie defeat for either Wisconsin or Minne- sota and success for the other would give the championship to the winners.
 Lincoln, Neb, November 24.-From point of attendance the Nebraska-Michigan game tomorrow promises to be record breaker on a Nebraska field. Coach Yost of Michigan, at the head of the '.hos- pital corps,' as he called his players. ar- rived thic morning with squad of 2l men.
 Yost was pessimistic over his chances. He insisted his players were in bad shapa and got them together early in the even- ing and paced them off to bed.
 The Nebraska men went through a final drill on Nebraska field early.
