EASTERN AND WESTERN
SCRAP At MACK PARK
Intense Rivalry Between the
Teams Promises a Fight
From Start To Finish.

The Big and only football contest
VI the day for Detroit gridiron is
The Eastern.Western scrap at Mack
rark. which promises TO be one OF
ne most lively sessions seen recently
N this city.
Eastern mas not had the most sue
cessful season neither has Western
Therefore both teams are sohing TO
/ cap the season with a victory with
their Ditterest rivals.
Both teams are in pretty good
shape for the go, although both have
iost good men during the season
through injuries and ineligibility be
cause OF back work in school
The coaches OF both teams had
their respective pupils out yesterday
Tor the last signal drill OF the 1911
playing season
Coach Mathews allowed his athletes
10 perform their work for only 80
minutes, fearing injury or staleness
il he demanded too much. But Coach
Nuesthon demanded more from his
proteges, The pre-game workout was
little harder than the coach has yet
allowed his pupils TO indulge in be
fore a game. The squad was on the
held for nearly two hours and the
practice included everything from the
elementary stunts TO end-season form
in the signals.
The two elevens appear very near
equal in average weight, both tipping
the scales near the 145-pound mark
But the Indians have a decided ad-
vantage in the weight on their back
line. out-weighing their opponents
about seven pounds to the man.
Each school is as eager TO have it's
scrub team win the preliminary
match as for varsity victory.
Therefore the best material in the
schools that is not on the first team
squad already, has been recruited for
the game. and it promises 10 be a
very spirited contest.

YOSTMtN CLOSE SEASON
TODAY AT LINCOLN WITH
NEBRASKA CORNHUSKtRS
Weather Conditions Promise To
Be Ideal For the Big
Gridiron Scrap.
NEITHER TEAM CONFIDENT.
Coach Yost Is Accorded Warm
Reception by His Former
Friends in Lincoln.

LINCOLN, New, Nov. 25.-The Uni
versity OF Michigan closes it's foot
ball season here today when il meets
the Cornhuskers OF Nebraska at Lin
coin.
Weather conditions for the contest
promised to be unequalled today, and
the biggest crowd In the memory OF
the oldest old timers was IN the city
to witness the struggle.
The field was hard and dry when
the Yostmen took peep at IL before
retiring Friday night and promised 10
be as smooth as a billiard table, and
no doubt as hard as billiard BILL
The seson for Michigan has not
been one OF the greatest success and
this contest OF anti-climax nature ar
fords no opportunity to make grand
and fourishing finish as the VOL
verines are doped TO have compare
lively easy time.
However this is simply dope. The
realizes show that while Michigan out
weighs It's opponents somewhat, the
Nebraskans are in most excellent
physical condition. while as usual the
Yostmen are pretty well bunged.
This morning Pontius was not eX-
pected to play at all, Thompson Is
troubled with a bad shoulder, Craig
still has TO favor his side, Mcmillan
has his bum leg TO watch out for, and
Posle was sick yesterday, but outside
OF that the squad is in pretty good
shape.
Neither team is confident OF win

Gays that his team Is going in to win
and not to hold Michigan TO a re-
spectacle score, but he is not sure
that IL can turn the trick Coach fost
feels that his men will win II every
thing goes right. but the ADVANTAGES
The hosts have in physical condition
and in playing the biggest game OF
their season on their home grounds
makes him somewhat fearful
Coach Yost was accorded an excep-
tionalIy hearty reception here in that
il was at this place back in sS that
he first broke into big university

friends were greeting him on all
sides. He got great deal OF pleas

CENTRAL HIGH HAS BIG

In acquiring places on the All-Star
Detroit preparatory school football
team Central High stands away aheai
OF the other institutions in its adj
vantages With its thousands OF stu
dents to choose from, the big school
has an advantage in material which
the other schools of the city can
hardly hope TO overcome
Thus is seems reasonable that
Coach Stockings gang will cop a
great many of the places on the first
outfit. Many of the members sof the
Central bunch who are forced out OF
the All-Star lineup by men from the
other schools will stand excellent
chances of making the second team.
However, that ID. u. S. eleven OF
Coach Fryes is an aggregation that
IS going TO make Stockings men hus-

Harvard and Yale met in their an

have been streaming into town and

but not a really great game from the
standpoint of football player. Meth

PUBLISHERS NOTE.

An agreement was made between
Editor Sherman of the Donnelly News
and Editor Morrison of the Morris
Tribune on Tuesday. whereby the
subscription list of the News was sold
to the Tribune. Those who have paid
for the News in advance will receive
the Tribune. and those who are owing
the News for subscription should pay
the Tribune.
This step was taken because Mr..
Sherman found that the publication
of the Donnelly News as a separate
newspaper did not afford sufficient
financial return.
The Tribune will atte npt to give
the Donnelly people a newspaper in
the form in which it comes to you
this week. The plan is to devote a
page or more of the Tribune each
week to Donnelly, and we shall con-
tinue this as long as it proves feast
BILE. We believe this plan is a good
one and ought to succeed, for it gives
the people of Donnelly both local
paper and county paper for the price
of one.
