Engage in the Battle
With Westerners.

CHICAGO, Dec. Comes o the
business of drafting football schedules
or the 1922 season.
Coaches of the Western Conference
win meet here December 3, TO map
but the gridiron programs for next
Year and because of the spectacular
kvfndup of the 1921 race, gridiron fol-
\ overs are INDUCING in a lot of spec
b~llation regarding the schedules of Ohio
State and Iowa, who fought out this
YEARS championship.
The eastern invasion of Chicago,
(which resulted In a 8 to 0 triumph
3over Princeton, has started a move
Yment for East VS.. West games next
season. Chicago already has arrang-
ed to play Princeton in a return
[game here early in October and Iowa,
1921 conference champions, accord
ing to advance indications, probably
will arrage a game with Yale to he
played in the east. Illinois is negotiat-
ing for a game with a representative
Southern eleven to be played in
Memphis, while Michigan is consider
ing a game with Vanderbilt for the
second week in OCTOBER.
What the Iowa schedule will be
next fall there is no way OF dc
tcrmining. Howard Jones, coach of tho
triumphant Hawkeyes and Jack Wilce,
coach of the Ohio eleven, may decide
TO arrange a game for next year IN
view Of the fact that these teams
did not meet this year.
