Ten" Teams.

With the opening of the 1917 foot
ball season. the Missouri Valley con-
ference teams. despite changing
predictions of preseason form. will
start on the scratch in the race for
the conference title. Critics are
agreed that the competition will be
more evenly matched this year than
for several seasons past. Nebraska
1t is believed, has the greatest chance
for the title. because Of the superior
weight and experience of h team.
The conference games will not be-
gin until October Is when the Mis-
souri, Tigers meet the Kansas Aggies
at Columbia. This game, which in
cidentally is the first to be played be-
tween h two schools for several
years SO early in the season, will put
hope into the winner for the defeated
team VIII be eliminated to a great ex.
topping the tile. The teams are
about evenly matched. Both have
weaknesses in the line and both have
fast backf1elds and fast ends.
In the meantime, the conference
teams will play smaller schools such
as Baker university, William Jewell,
Nebraska Wesleyan. all with the ex-
ception OF Kansas which plays Illinois
on october 8. This game will give an
indication of where the Jayhawker
team may be placed in the early esti-
mates. The Illinois team is reported
to be light and green 80 the Jayhawk-
ers may be able to open UP something
new by winning from the big Ten"
eleven.
Latest reports from the Cornhusk-
ers give indications Of an eleven of the

honorable mention is given to Mum,

be a drop kicker of some merit. Shell

fast and a terrific line plunger. KEEL
logg, a ten flat man in the hundred

prominence in the backfeld. Mention

University of Nebraska which have

EARLY CROWD AT THE POLO

Outside Of the main question as to
whether the Giants can stage a
back, the followers Of the national
pastime devoted the rest of their
speculations as to the rival pitchers.
The opinion seemed to be general
that either Cicotte or Russell would
start for the visitors, while McGraw
would pin his faith to Sallee or Ben
ton.

New York rooters admitted today
that the Giants must win the third
