OLD RIVALS WILL CLASH
Members Of Michigan and Chicago
Teams of 1905 to See Relations
Renewed Next Saturday.

CHICAGO, November 5.-Athletic
directors of the universities of Michi-
gan and Chicago have extended spe-
cial invitation to members Of the 1905
foot ball teams of the two institutions
tc witness the game here next Satur-
day. The occasion will be the renewal
between the. universities Of foot ball
relations which were broken off thir-
teen. years ago when Chicago defeated
Michigan to 0.
The rivalry was keen between the
schools for many years prior to the
of Michigan from the west
ern conference owing to differences
over the training table, and foot ball
followers say the interest Of former
years will be awakened when the teams
line up on the gridiron.
Athletic directors believe that eleven
men who played on each team during
the season of 1905 can be mustered at
the game next Saturday.
