CHICAGO SPRINGS
SURPRISE IN Big 9
Defeat of Illinois and Victory
of Minnesota Are Two
Upsets.
PURPLE ELEVEN POWERFUL

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Foot ball elevens
of the Big Nine" came through Satur-
days games with only one upset-the
defeat of Illinois at the hands of Chi
cago.
Northwestern disposed of Purdue
and kept its slate clean for the cham
pionship game with the undefeated
Ohio State eleven at Columbus next
Saturday. Ohio State had already FIN
ished its conference schedule, with the
exception of the clash with North
western, and had little trouble over
whelming Case.
Chicago Springs Surprise.
Chicago, twice beaten in the confer
ence race, sprung one of the biggest
surprises of a surprising season by up
setting Illinois. The Maroons romped
away with 20 TO victory, leaving
Illinois, a two to one favorite, COM
pletely stunned. The down-state
eleven, which two weeks ago caused
a surprising upset by trouncing the
powerful Minnesota eleven, had been
regarded by critics as certain win
ner.
The come back of Minnesota was
one Of the surprises of Saturdays
schedule. The Gophers gave Wiscon-
sin the worst drubbing in twenty
years.
Northwestern revealed the full
strength OF its reserve power in its
game with Purdue. Beaten E to 3 at
the start of the second half, North
western opened up an amazing dis
play of forward passes and sweeping
end runs and scored four touchdowns
in the third period within twelve
minutes.
Indiana Star Out Of Game.
Indiana kept its star out of the
game with Florida so as to send its
full strength into the annual game
with Purdue next Saturday. The
eleven from Dixie did not prove for
midable to Indiana.
Outside the conference, Michigan
met Pennsylvania and got its second
defeat of the year. Howard Berry,
the powerful fullback Of the eastern
ers, was responsible for the downfall
of the Wolverines.
Notre Dame faced stubborn foe in
the Michigan Aggies, who held the
Indiana team to IA to 0 count.

The University of Minnesota
started the 1916 season like a tornado
and went through South Dakota and
Iowa like the Germans through Bel
GUM. Minnesota was about to
favorite over Illinois. So Illinois
COPIED the combat hands down.
Illinois then went up against Chi
cago, which hadn't beaten anybody
except Indiana, and ranked about
900. Illinois should have handled
Chicago like a mountain lion would
handle canary bird. So Chicago pro-
ceeded to wipe up the entire state of
Illinois with the Illini eleven.
Wisconsin, it will be remembered,
spanked the protegees of A. Stage,
80 to 7. and didn't strain any ten
dons doing it. So Minnesota ate up
Wisconsin, 81 to 0. Figure it out for
yourself.

William Chase Temple, millionaire

is considered very probable sue
cessor to Garry Hermann as chair
man of the National commission, &C
cording to reports current in base ball
circles. Mr.. Temple, who at present
is at his winter estate, Winter Park,
Florida, has been a base ball enthusi-
asst since 1876. He was the donor Of
the famous Temple Cup" for the base
ball championship in 1894, 1895 and
1896. He formerly owned the Pitts
burgh Pirates, but got out of active
participation in base ball affairs in
1894. 1t is said that a majority of the
base ball magnates favor Temple. An
other point in his favor is the fact
that he does not believe the chairman

should carry salary with it.

Theodore and Ernest Clabundie, ia

further hearing. The suit against
the younger Clabundie is also pend
