CHICAGO LEAVES
FOR TIGER GAME
Thousand Students Also Speed
ing Eastward on Broadway
Limited for Big Game
EXPECT HARD BATTLE

Chicago, Oct. 20.-'Tho University
Of Chicago football team left here this
morning on the Broadway Limited
bound for Princeton, n. j., where the
Maroons will clash with Princeton Uni
vcrsity on Saturday. It will be the
first engagement in history between
these two institutions.
About thousand students left With
the team. A special rate was granted
TO undergraduates by the Pennsylvania
Railroad and n campaign here lasting
more than week recruited n full thou
said TO follow the football players.
According to the dope spread around
the campus here. Chicago will show nm
open game against the Tigers. The
Maroons will give away about ten
pounds TO the man. but IL is believed
that the weight handicap can be over
come BY forward passing and punting.
The Maroons are not any too conf
dent Of taking victory with them back
home. Only two games have been
played this season and both resulted in
triumphs. Northwestern was walloped
and week later Purdue was beaten,
30. Luck favored the Stage athletes
in the battle against Purdue. No game
was played last Saturday.
The Chicago athletes believe that the
defeat handed Princeton by the Navy
last week will serve only to spur the
Tigers on TO greater effort on Saturday.
Football fans in this city believe 1t
would have been better for Stagg's team
had the Orange and Black won over
the Mlddes. Then there would have
been a chance Of overcon6dencc among
1toper's players.
Chicago has team that averages
close to 1s2 pounds, fairly heavy ag-
gregation. The line is strong with two
all-conference players in the first de-
fensc. These are Redmon and Captain
Mnguire. both of whom received honor
able mention by Walter Camp at the
end of last season.
Cole is one of the best qua rterbacks
Chicago has had IN recent years, but
be isn't In the same class with Don
Louric, according to those who have
seen the Princeton general in action,
Cole Is n good open field runner and an
excellent field general, but does not
possess the all-around assets OF the

from the general routine, the coaches
held scrimmage for the V. NJ. ]. squad

OF preparation for the Pennsylvania

against the Heisman shift formation,
with which the scrubs displayed q GER
tain degree Of familiarity.
The squad seems to have rallied from
the effects OF the battle against Nir-
ginia and Is confident Of giving Penn
q merry tussle Saturday, on Frank
LIN Field. This attitude was evidenced
by tho aggrcssiyenesS with which the
varsity squad tore into the scrubs. In
this short drill marked improvement In
tacklng was shown, Nenablc at full
back was especially conspicuous in this
respect. The Flying Squadron leaves
Lexington on special car tomorrow
night and will arrive in Philadelphia
about I o'clock Saturday morning.
