FOOTBALL STANDING UPSET
MARooNS~ OUT OF RUNNING
BY Mark Shields

Western football is considerably
scrambled as a result of Saturdays
games, and Coach Stages MarOons
form the groundwork of the ONE
lette. If conditions do not better i'm
mediately, Chicago will have its
worst gTidiFon season in many years.
This in the face of the statement
of Stagg several weeks ago that the
1916 material was the best he had
found on the Midway in years.
Stagg has good backs and a heavy
line. But the backtield has not been
formed into a regular combination,
and the forwards lack aggressive
ness. In the Northwestern game
Saturday they charged slowly and
Purple plays almost invariabley were
well started before the Chicago wall
men broke through. Lack of ag-
gressiYeness is the only explanation,
for Stages men outweigbed the PuF-
pie from end to end.
Chicago is now out of the Confer
ence race. It whipped Indiana, lost
to Northwestern, and also lost to
Carleton, though this team is not a
member of the Big Nine. And the
way ahead is not bright. Wisconsin
stands in the ofing with beefy and
speedy eleven, and after that comes
Minnesota. Only professional cam
paign claimeF could see cause for
happiness in the prospect.
Northwestern's victory Saturday
was well earned. Chicago was out
played and lost for the first time in
13 years. In attack the Purple
