Three Important Games in Big
Ten-YaIe VS.. Princeton.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1S.-The posi-
bility of a wet field for the Kansas
Aggies-Nebraska football game here
today, in some extent offsets the
handicap the Cornhuskers have suf-
fered in the loss of two of their most
brilliant stars, Scherer, end, and Pres
ton, quarterback.
The former is out of the game on
account of injuries received in the
Kansas game, and Prest is yet in the
hospital suffering from a double frac-
ture of the left leg.
A wet playing field will handicap
the visitors in the aerial attack while
Nebraska, heavier by many pounds,
would be only slowed in a line pIung-
ing attack
Colorado at Lawrence.
Lawrence. Kan, Nov. 1S.-The sec
ond clash this season of Missouri
valley and a Rocky mountain confer
ence team is scheduled for today in
the meeting of the University of Kan
sas and University of Colorado foot
ball teams. 1t is the second inter-
sectional contest also for the Jay
hawkers, who played the Army at
West Point early in the season.
Adopting a policy of conserving its
first string players for the Thanks
giving Missouri-Kansas classic, Kansas
will present an entirely new lineup
today, from its second squad.
New Coach at Missouri.
Columbia, Nov. 1S.-The University
the worse for recent battles, is sched-
uled to meet Washington university
here today in the first contest since
the resignation of Coach Tom Kelly
Lewis, former Tiger captain, to his
position. The fact that five NJ. u
varsity men are out of the running
with injuries is considered to even up
weight of the Pikers, who are said to
be 20 pounds lighter to the man than
the Tigers.
Texas Plays Oklahoma.
Norman, Nov. 1S.-Weakened by
the absence of a number of players
but still confident the Texas univer-
sity long horns were prepared to take
on their old gridiron rivals, the Okla
homa Sooners, here this afternoon.
Injuries, sickness and the operation of
eligibility rules have struck a hard
blow at the Texas team. Oklahoma
was expected to present a revamped
back field, due to the injury of Quar-
terback Eddie johnson in last weeks
game with Missouri. The game marks
the resumption of football relations
ended in 1919 when Oklahoma Joined
the Missouri Valley conference.
In the Big Ten.
Chicago, Nov. 1S.-The three un-
beaten western conference teams in
the race for the football champion
ship of the big ten-Chicago, Iowa
and Michigan-today engage in bat
factors in the chase for the title. They
play Illinois, Ohio state and Wisconsin
respectively. The Illini, who played
Iowa to a virtual standstill and then
Il - = I,, ~
a to victory, meet the Maroons on
Stagg field. The Badgers invade Ann
Arbor home of the Wolverine, while
Ohio state, in the Buckeye stadium at
Columbus, will attempt to check the
advances of the Hawkeyes toward an
other title to hang up with the spoils
of 1921.
Games in the East.
New York, Nov. IS Two games
stand out conspicuously over all
others in todays list of football at
fractions. namely Yale and Princeton
at Princeton and that of Michigan
and Wisconsin at Ann Arbor. On the
result of both will hang in a measure
the dispossession of the eastern and
western titles.
Little, if any, behind the Ann Arbor
date in the matter of importance is
the conference game between Illinois
and Chicago and the big western
Pennsylvania struggle involving Pitts
Jul anu w SOAA anu

Several of the big guns have sched-
uled opponents of minor Importance,
Cornell playing Columbia and the
Army meeting Bates. Harvard, how
ever, may run across trouble with
Brown university and the meeting be-
tween Holy Cross and Fordham, for
the Catholic college title will be by no
