Bloomington, nj. Nov. e.-With
the Illinois intercollegiate Athletic
conference football championship
practically clinched by James Mil
hken university Of Decatur, the
teams which were considered cham
pionship contenders at the begin
ming Of the season have set about
to win the remaining games of their
schedule 30 az to finish as high In
the conference percentage column
possible.
The games scheduled for this
week will have no bearing on the
championship race. as there is but
one OF these contests which is even
ly matched, that being the Bradley
Wesleyan games scheduled for Peo-
ria today. The remainder of the
tsams for this weeks schedule are
very unevenly matched, most of
which will be decided by large
scores.
Mlliken Classiest,
Milliken demonstrated to the fol-
lowers Of the conference that the
Blue and White machine is without
doubt the strongest in the state BY
administering a "a to 0 beating to
the strong Eureka college eleven at
Decatur last Saturday. The result
was even greater than what the
Milliken hackers had hoped for. The
Decatur institution will take things
easy this week. meeting the weak
Shurtleh college eleven at Decatur
Saturday in q game which the Pres
byterians should win by a top-heavy
score.
Illinois college, which has lost
but one game to date, will journey
to Monmouth today, where Coach
! armon's eleven is expected to, hand
Monmouth a convincing beating
Illinois sprung surprise last week
by defeating Wesleyan at Jackson
vile by the score of 13 to 7. the re-
suit Of two fumbled punts which
were recovered by Illinois men on
the Wesleyan five-yard line. Coach
Harmon is out to win second place
in the conference standings and
have no thought of losing any more
games this season.
Eureka Should Win.
Eureka meets the weak Heading
aggregation at Eureka today in a
contest which should be won by the
Woodford county eleven by at least
so points. This game will have no
final result on the conference race
in as much as both teams have al
ready been eliminated from the run
ming.
Probably the most exciting game
scheduled for this week end is the
Wesleyan-Bradley game which is
being played at Peoria today. The
two schools are time honored rivals
and the annual contest between
these institutions are always fierce
ly contest regardless of the strength
of the opposing elevens. Wesleyan
has a heavier team than Bradley
and a backfield which should show
to advantage against the Peoria ag-
gregation. The fact that Bradley
had a difficult task of defeating the
weak Normal team. 10 to 0 last Sat-
urday, tends to show that the Peo-
ria aggregation is not playing up to
its usual standard.
knox vs.. RipOn.
Knox college meets Ripon at
Galesburg in another non-confer-
ence game. The "Siwash" eleven
has demonstrated its class BY not
having suffered a defeat to date. the
latest triumph being a Z to o VIC
tory over the strong Lake Forest
team at Lake Forest last Saturday.
1t is to be regretted that Knox has
not scheduled games with more of
the conference schools in order that
they could be rated in the confer
ence standing. A movement is on
foot to bring the Knox and Milliken
elevens together ON THANKSGIVING
day in game which will settle be-
yond all doubt the supremacy of
the Illinois inter-college conference.
as possible.
As the race now stands, Milliken
is leading the conference with Au-
gustana second; Illinois college,
