MAROONS AND TIGERS
GREATEST GRID CARD;
OTHER GOOD BATTLES

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-Chicago today
temporarily ceased to boast it is the
home of the stockyards, the worlds
greatest grain market, the nations pre-
mier rail center and the home of Hell
Maria Dawes.
These things assumed an Importance
only secondary to that of a football
game-the University of Chicago de-
tending against the assault of Prince
ton-the days chief International grid
IRON event, an effort of the eastern
school to avenge a 8 to 0 defeat last
year, when the Maroons invaded the
Tigers lair.
Observers of football style said
Princeton babe fair to have the bet
ter Of the end-running, and open play,
but said Chicago, with great line
smashers in Thomas and Zorn, should
have the upper hand in buck:ng. It
was also predicted that Chicago which
so far has not resorted to a half doz-
en- trick plays would unwind a whirl-
wind of passes, long and short.
Inc last minute switch of Otto Stro-
Dmeler TO quarter was-said to give the
Maroon increased offensive strength.
Stage field is in fine condition.
Coach Roper and his Tigers were we'll
pleased with it in practice yesterday.
me weather promised to be clear and
with Just tang OF late autumn in the
air.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 2S.-ButIer
and Wabash college football teams are
scneduled TO meet here today in a
contest that will vie in interest of In
diana fans with that of any other
game to be held in the country. Mem
bers OF both squads are reported to be
IN good physical condition and on edge
FOR the battle. Keen rivalry for state
honors exists between the two schools,
and as both have developed unusually
strong teams this year one of the best
contests of the season is looked for.
The relative strength of the two
teams leaves little to choose as to a
winner. Wabash has won four games
in as many starts this season, without
being scored upon, while Butler has
won all five of its games this season,
Illinois being the only eleven to reg
lister marker against them.
Officials announced that the adj
vance sale indicated that Irwin field,
which seats $4,000 people, will be
crowded to capacity.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 2S.-A
Michigan squad greatly weakened by
injuries and illness faced Illinois here
today in the first home game On the
Wolverine western conference SEIZED
ule. Two regulars were out with in
juries and a third, Harry Hipke, who
was largely responsible for the vic
tory over Ohio State a week ago and
who has been i'll since Tuesday, was
not expected to be equal to a full
game today. For a time it appeared
that even Coach Yost, who had been
suffering from cold. would not be on
hand to steer the Michigan machine
The confidence of the Wolverines
and their supporters was replaced by
a grim determination to win despite |
the reverse.
Coach Zuppke's SQUAD likewise was
not considered as strong as when it all |
but downed Iowa last week, one OF !
two regulars still feeling the effects
OF recent injuries.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. Is
With five regulars of the Indiana foot
ball squad on the hospital list, team |
composed mostly of second-string men
probably will be sent against the
Michigan Aggies here today. Coach |
Heron has drilled his second team
all week for the Aggies in order to
give the regulars ample time to re-
cover for the Notre Dame game next
Saturday. The Aggies arrived yester-
day and were put through a light
workout. 1t was announced that
some of the members of the latter
team also would be out due to injur-
les.
