worth are scheduled this week. Out at
Urbana ILL.,. the University of Illinois
meets the University of Wisconsin; at
Pittsburgh Syracuse appears against
the University of Pittsburgh. and up at
Hanover the Dartmouth eleven will do
battle with West Virginia University.
Other contests are listed which should

gregation than represented them a
year ago. Wisconsin and Illinois play

ship Illinois won last week from Uni
versity Of Oklahoma, and Wisconsin
engaged in q to contest with Notre
