HOME COMING
AT ILLINOIS TO
BE BIC EVENT
Contest Between Chicago and State
University to Be Classic
Game of the Season.

Urbana, Ill, Oct. 24.-The foot
ball classic of the state of Illinois
for the present season will be play
ed on historic Illinois field on Sat
urday, Nov l, when the University
of Illinois will meet its time hon
ored rival-the University OF Chi
cago.
1t will be the victory home-com-
ing game, and more than twenty
thousand people are expected to at
tend. Reservations from grad
yates and friends have arrived from
every nook and corner of the state
until practically all of the reserved
seats have been sold. 1t will be
the biggest crowd that has ever
swarmed the Orange and Blue ath-
letic field.
Illinois is expected to win the
game. However, the coaches are
too busy whipping the team into
shape for the "stiffest football
schedule ever played by a Big Ten
conference team" to make predic-
tions as to the outcome Of the Chi
cago game. One thing is certain,
that with the vast crowd of alumni
present, the Orange and Blue squad
will put up one of the greatest eX-
hibitions of it's career. Chicago has
a strong team, according to the
scouts who have witnessed the Ma
room machine in action, and the
fact that they amassed total Of
1913 points against the Great Lakes
eleven in the first game Of the sea-
SON indicates that Coach Stage has
a valuable and powerful combina-
ton.
Zuppke, the little Illinois mentor,
has a powerful eleven also, and a
fast bunch of men whom he can
depend upon il more injuries do
not overtake them. He was sorely
handicapped in the game with
Iowa last week because several of
his stars were on the injured list.
But Illinois won, 9 to 7, in spite Of
this ill-luck, and the hopes of beat
ing Chicago in the homecoming
game went skyward.

DAVENPORT AND
GALESBURG HIGH
TO MEET TODAY

Considerable interest is manifest
in Rock Island over the probable
outcome of the game today between
the Davenport and Galesburg high
schools at Galesburg. The contest
was originally scheduled for to-
morrow but other attractions in the
Knox county city caused the high
school game to be switched to to-
day.
Since GaleSburg defeated both
Moline and Rock Island, Daven-
port hopes to take their number.
The Iowans have not yet been de-
feated this year and the local opin-
ion is that Galesburg will find
itself against a snag.

Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 24.-Dr.
Williams Gophers received their
last hard workout yesterday after
noon for the game Saturday with
Iowa. It was a long scrimmage
which was finished with a chalk
talk in the gym.
It appears likely that Arnold Oss
will start at halfback in place Of
Regnter Saturday, although Neil
Arntson may also get a chance in
the backfeld.
The injured Gophers were all in
the lineup and indications are that
minor hurts would not keep any of
the stars out of the game. A light
signal drill is all that is looked for
tomorrow.
The biggest number of former
Gopher stars of the season were
out assisting DR. Williams. Picker
ing, Baston. Wyman, Long, Meow
ern and others drove the men
through a long scrimmage, pointing
out and correcting faults.
