few BIG GAMES
ON CARD TODAY
Neutrality-suspicious., Yale Wash
ington & Jefferson, and Pur-
due Are Best.

Purdue, Indiana, Iowa and Ohio
State have been eliminated from the
conference running in the football
games of the present season. Chicago
will oppose the defeated Purdres to-
day, and Minnesota will journey to
Iowa City and tangle with Jesse Haw-
ley's Hawkeyes.
Ohio State was given a thorough
licking at the hands of Illinois. Wis
consin and the Buckeyes are schedul-
ed to meet at Columbus, and the Hi
nj are to meet the doWntrodden
Northwestern team.
For some reason or other North
western has generally been a hard
team for Illinois to defeat. On the
face Of the returns that have been
received on the seasons accomplish
ments, the Illini should have a picnic
with the Evanston aggregation.
lNorthwestern's defeat at the hands
of Indiana was the last straw. Sew
eral mass meetings were held at Ev-
anston before the game with the Hoo
siers and enthusiasm YES raised to
the NTH power in the Swcet eXpecta-
ticn of victory. The cup Of North
westerns woe has been filled to the
trimming point.

of the strongest teams of the East
Hazard is expected to win this game
and, is moreover, expected to show
the result of the tuning up that has
been done for the game with Mich
gan.
Erickley's loss, combined with in
juries to several of Haughton's other
stars, has served to somewhat clog
the Harvard machine. Haughton is
a man of infinite resource and a great
builder. The development point Of the
season is about through and Harvard
is expected to display the finish in
the game of Saturday. that marked
the play of this great eleven last
year. .s)u .
1t is generally believed by we'll in.
formed football men '0hat Harvard
has remarkable latent powers Of at
tack. There is no question of the mar
rowness CT the Crimson teams escape
in the game against w. & j. The
very fact that Harvard came near be-
ing beaten in the game of last week
is expected to have a tonic effect up
on the playing of the team.
Purdue May Beat Maroons.
Purdue will give the followers of
the Western game a more clear line
on the strength of the Chicago team.
Some are disposed to believe that
Stage has not the eleven of last year.
The game against Iowa, unless Iowa
is stronger than most of us give the
team credit for, would bear out this
belief. Purdue played a bangup game
against Wisconsin, leading the Bad
gers, at-tha. end of the first half. Pur.
due is plenty strong enough to fur
nish a decisive test as to the strength
Of the cohorts of Stage. To-
Carlisle plays the University of
Pennsylvania, and this game will fur
nish interest as to whether Glenn
Warner can bring the Indian eleven
back to the point where it is a real
factor among the big teams of the
East.

on Methods
to Conserve Rainfall

FIT. COLLINS, Colo, March H.
Experiments for conserving rainfall
under methods devised by Colonel
Freeman Thorpe of Minnesota, will
be conducted at the FIT. Collins and
Ft. Lewis Agricultural schools this
year as the result of a recent meet
ing at the Denver chamber of com
merce, when Colonel Thorpe present
ed the system in detail
At the meeting Thorpe said that
every drop of water that falls, ex-
cept the proportion which evapor-
ates, should be saved by proper
system of drainage and storage in
the soil. His method provides for
corrugation of the land and the max
ing of embankments by which, he
claims, nearly all the precipitation
can be preserved This can be ac-
complished by sowing seed at the bot
tom of five inch burrows and then
covering it with ridges or embank-
ments that, instead of protecting by
only five inches of soil, will give ii
practically ten inches of soil protec-
tion. Thorpe proposes to plant black
oaks on the hillsides to grow acorns
for hog and sheep forage.
