and stolen base. The first of these
catches was made in the second
round off Plates bat Wally back

TEAMS OF BIG
ten SWINGING
into PRACTICE
Chicago Is Pointing Toward Inter-
sectional Game With Prince
ton Oct. p.

Chicago, Sept. 15-The ten
western conference university foot
ball squads today held their first
practice in preparation for sea
son which, finds most of the
stronger eIevens of the 1920 sea-
son faced with the task of replac-
ing a majority of their former stars
and two of the tail-enders Of last
years training to develop teams
which will make creditable show
ings on scheduled eastern inva-
sions.
Squads ranging from two to four
score reported to the gridiron in
structors at the 10 i3elds. today
with the interest generally accord
ed Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Ohio State teams temporarily
overshadowed by that given Chi
cago and Indiana, the two elevens
which will carry western confer
ence coIors into stadiums of the
larger eastern schools for the first
time in years.
Chicago faces Princeton at
Princeton on Oct. % in the first of
a home and home series scheduled
between the two schools. With
only the remnants of his last years
second division team available,
Coach Alonzo A. Stage is paying
little attention to the conference
games, pointing his team entirely
for the clash with Princeton. The
strongest defensive team in the
conference last year, the Maroons,
are working to retain that defensive
nd 70 of in
hopes of a chance OF getting past
the Tigers claws.
At Indian university, Coach
Jumbo" Stiehm has an even more
difficult task than Stage, for his
eleven, one of the weakest last sea-
son and with few of its stars back
in the school, must trade thuds with
Harvard at Cambridge on Oct. 8.
In. the conference itself Ohio
State, in order to retain its 1920
championship may need even more
good fortune than last season,

point, and another by a touchdown,

whistle had been blown.

nan f1OS6 w OThuldH, tue HllOdIe
VESTS greatest forward passer, and
others in footballs nall of fame
will have to be replaced by Coach
Wilce.
Michigan and Wisconsin are ex-
pected to show considerable
strength, although the latter has
lost many stars, while Illinois,
Northwestern, Iowa,
and Purdue are the dark horses"
of the season.
Illinois, always a factor in the
championship race and runner-up
year, has lost its greatest players,
but Coach Zuppke has a habit of
always turning forth a winning
team, and while his followers do
not know just how he will do it this
year, they are confident that the
Illini will be we'll in the running.
The schedule presents an I'M
usual arrangement this year. Ohio
State and wisconsin. bitter oppon-
ents of the past several years, have
several football relations ard will
not meet, nor will Chicago and
Michigan. or Minnesota and Illi-
nois. all bitter gridiron enemies in
past seasons. Michigan, however,
resumes it's rivalry with Wiscon- !
sin.
Practice games will be played at
and at Indiana, a |
week from next Saturday. but the
regular season will not get under
way until Oct. 1.

President Warren Giles of the
Moline club has signified his will
lingness to pit the PIewboys against
the winners of the pennant in the
Michigan Ontario league in a post
season series. George ii. Names,
president of the latter organization,
has expressed his approval of the
proposition. Certain circumstances
preclude such a series getting IN
der way until the week of Sept. 26,
and In order to hold the Moline
club together q transforming trip
would be necessary. Just how many
of the players would consent to
this is question. The cream of
The PlOws would have to report
after the Three-Eye closes to their
respective owners in Baltimore and
Philadelphia.
The series proposed by Jack
Tighe between a team of Three-Eye
All-Stars and the Moline team has
been definitely dropped. Moline
players, as a whole, seemed to be
against the series on the ground
that not sufficient remuneration
was in sight. They can listen to
the talk of the coin, but if it is only
a whisper the call of home easily
overcomes it.
Announcement of the Detroit IT,
gers that they are coming to Dav-
export TO finish training for the In
dependents, has struck q popular
chord among grid fans of the tri-
cities. 1t will afford a chance to
study the invaders first hand and
provide a reliable forecast on the
outcome.
An Associated Press dispatch to-
day says that the Tigers have sign
ed George Applegren, former Uni
versity of Illinois lineman. Among
the other stars of the Detroiters,
besides Voss of Detroit u, and
Horning of Colgate. is Fincher of
Georgia Tech. Spaulding's Football
Guide of 1921 heaps plenty of
praise onSthe head of this young
ster, who last year finished a SEN
sational career as end at the south
ern institution. He was the unan-
imous choice of critics for ALL

Flowers. another of Georgia
Techs brilliant players. has been

much faith in this prize to help the |
independents along to a successful
season.

Der of the worlds champion Cleye-
