NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE first
football clash which will enable fol-
lowers of the pig skin to begin get
ting a line on the strength Of big
eastern teams viii come this after
noon at Princeton when speedy Rush
sends his Tigers against the surpris-
ing Tufts eleven.
Some upsets OF the old dope bucket
are promised in today's gridiron
clashes. Princeton isn't the only spot
where they are reluctant to bet on the
home shock absorbers. At Cam bridge,
Harvard is fussing around. waiting to
go into action against North Caro-
lima and the Crimson coaches have
paid so little attention to this game
that virtually nc special practice has
been taken for it.
North Carolina was beaten last Sat
urday 90 to o, by Princeton, but the
fact that Tufts came through with a
triumph last week over Harvard is
disconcerting to Tiger boosters.
While they are confident Nausau will
be on the long end Of the score they
know their favorites are going into
a battle that will prove anything but
practice contest.
Yale mas been hard at work all

Lehigh confident of victory by a close

they will be satisfied with a bare vic
tory for Lehigh will have an ex-
perienced eleven in line,
Cornell is scheduled against Will
Hams. A year ago the Ithicans won
from Williams by q huge one-sided
score, but no srch triumph is antici-
pated this afternoon. While Cornell
has lost some of last years. stars,
Williams is considered stronger.
The Navy eleven will do mighty
well to escape defeat at the hands
Of Pittsburgh. The Pennsylvanians
last year put the navy craft hope
Iessly out of the running by a lop-
sided score and the Navy isn't con-
sfdered overly strong this year.
The Army win meet a tartar in
Holy Cross, but West Point coaches
are confident of the outcome.
Dartmouth should have little
trouble in winning from the Massa-
chusetts Aggies. Pennsylvania is
scheduled for game with Swarth-
more at Philadelphia and Penn State
will tackle West Virginia Wesleyan
at State college.

Rev. D. e. Butler, well known pas.

his people in Keokuk during the past
two years, has been detached from
pastoral work and appointed confer

his new office, he will organize and
supervise the missionary work OF the
conference, not alone along city, but

The Chicago conference. the lead

states OF Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,

of whom are in the city Of Chicago.
This is the first time in the history
OF the conference that anything like

Butler has developed one that bids
fair to bring about the results needed
and desired.
Since the work Is to be education

Butler is organizing numerous mis-

touch with the various prisons, coun-
ty and state institutions and do res

city, county and state officials and
the regularly organized humane and
charitable bodies.
DIR. Butler will maintain headQuar-
tiers both in Keokuk and Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Interest in
football in the west centers on the
Indiana-Chicago game here today.
This is the only contest between big
nine elevens scheduled and it is I'm
portant in that the loser will be elimi-
mated from The championship race.
Chicago went down to a Z to 0
defeat last Saturday at the hands of
Carleton college, an unheard Of thing.
But the Maroons are expected to
show more fight today after weeks
grilling at the hands Of Stage.
Indianas strength is unknown and
just how effective the work of the
new coach, Stiehm, will be is mys-
terry. His record at Nebraska is SEN
sational, but he has had no big nine
experience.
The first intersectional clash of the
season viii lie between Colgate and
Illinois at Urbana. Colgate is said
to be weaker than usual this year
and western dope is that Illinoi will
come through on the long end Of the
score.
Minnesota lires up against North
Dakota, at Minneapolis; North Da-
kota, not bothered by conference
fore the season opens and had the
advantage of laxer eligibility rules
and for this reason may prove a hard
opponent for the sharers Of the big
nine championship.
Notre Dame is expected to scalp
the Haskell Indians at South Bend
with little trouble.
Michigan viii practice on Mount
Unions eleven awhile today at Ann
Arbor. It is thinking more of the
coming contest with the Michigan
Aggies next Saturday than Of the
