Millikin will have the advantage
Of playing on its own field, which

Championship Division;
Victor Kt1OlU,a SATURDAY.


The 1920 Illinois intercollegiate
athletic conference football cnan-
pionship will in all probability be
settled at Decatur next Saturday,
when the indicated Millikin and
Augustana football elevens clash
ON Millikin field in what promises
to be the most spectacular strug-
gle listed on the conference sched-
ule this season.
Both teams are as evenly match
ed as one would care to have them,
as far as weight is concerned. The
Augustana eleven has the edge on
the blue and white machine in so
far as speed is concerned.
Millikin's victories have been the
result of straight football. while
Augustana has perfected q light
ming forward pass attack, which is
bound to make trouble for the 1919
champs.
