the Illini by wisconsin Is considered
out OF the question. even In the freak
season that Is now upon us.
The Cornell-Michigan game Is much

There are three M. I. A. A. games
tomorrow, Olivet-Alma, Kazoo-Albion
and Hillsdale-Adrian. The Alma-Ohvet
game Is the headliner, largely because
OF tradition. Neither team will win

have a scoring festival In their games
tomorrow.
Kazoo has chance to win two state
championships this year Tomorrow
the normal meets Ypsi, and the west

AS matter of fact, the normal
schools are playing better football
than the colleges this fall
There will be only one high school
football game tomorrow. or course,
the schedules will be played as usual
. thror ghout the state. but the one
oyer-shadowing contest will be the
annual Grand Rapids Central-Detroit
Central clash. Detroit Is still the
favorite, but II must be conceded that
Dinnie Upton has a mighty good
chance to cop. It Is very difiicult to
get a line on the real strength OF
either team. for neither has had airy
opposition that could even give the
two big contenders fight.
Il appears now that the reason for
the alleged superiority OF eastern foot.
ball teams over western Is that east
ern football players can devote all
their time to football. The crude.
Grass western idea that college n a
place to study Is ridiculous.
