Syracuse on the latters grldiron, TN
contest between Wisconsin and Min
nosota NJ Minneapolis In the middl
west and showings which Yale, Har
ward and Princeton make In thel
weekly Rnmcs viii feature tho list o.
football struggles scheduled for Sat
l.fday.
Hebraskn IL a powerful eleven Thu
year. one which should complete II,
valley schedule without defeat. Tn
dor the able tutelagc Of Fred Dawson
former Princeton player, the Corn
huskers have showed well In the lasi
Two years. The team has a powerful
running attack. II heavy and strons
defcnsIvaly. II viii be representa-
tive middle west eleven. one which
should test the strength Of the New
York team from start 10 finish.
Dawson Has Heavy Eleven.
The team has been developed In a
pleasing manner. Coach Dawson has
been content 10 have the eleven win
IT, games by well known tactics, but
the real strength OF the offenBo has
not been shown this year. The for.
mer Princeton player has the warriors
on this scnr's eleven who can execute
his IDEAS and the team should give o
clever exhibition Of the close and open
attack.
In the middle west the game be-
tween Wisconsin and Minnesota
should be the feature. While the
Gophers we're held TO 7 TO score
by Northwestern. an unfortunate
tumble IN the third period deprived
the Gophers Of victory. Up to this
point. the Norscmen had all the best
NJ play and are far better team than
this score indicates. Under the coach.
ing Of Bill Spaulding the squad Will
improve md should reach the heights
Of development on the week end.
On the other hand. Wisconsin has
FHoWFu Il1 FtItUEtu III kdtItb ulTfJuy
played. The Badgers did not engage
In battle last Saturday, but In the
Indiana contest and the two preliml.
nary struggles Coach Richards show
ed beyond doubt lie has the men to
form . strong eleven. Ability OF the
veterans Ia so well known, combined
with the work OF the new men. that
IL viii take the best Minnesota can
produce 10 hold the Badgers. A de.
feat for Wisconsin Will put 1t out OF
the championship race and practically
every play taught will be used II the
Badgers are pressed to win.
Purple st Urbnns.
Illinois, which gave the middle west
season by holding Iowa to an TO 7
score, md Northwestern will meet at
Urbana In another game OF interest
as far az the Western conference Is
concerned Both have been defeated
by Big Ten elevens. but they are sure |
TO put up an interesting game to Sc.
cure a higher rating at the close OF
the year.
In another game OF note, Notre
Dame. for years one OF the leading
elevens In the middle west, VIII meet
Indiana on the formers field. Instead
Of playing at Indianapolis as has
been the usual custom. the teams VIII
play home and home games in the
future. This struggle Is one OF the
most important in the Hoosier state
and a real battle always results. IN
diana has been defeated by Minnesota
and Wisconsin, but the team general !
" rises when II meets Notre Dame
to play an even better brand OF foot'
ball than the coaches usually expect
Purdue and Wabash will meet at
Lafayette In another contest OF note
as far as the state Of Indiana IL con
cerned. Wabash. known in football
circles as the Little Giants. has
been running rough shod over some
opponcnts this year and will surely
give the Bollermakers a game.
Michigan Title Contender.
Michigan. which bids fair to com
plete It's schedule without defeat VIII
engage the Michigan Angles Al Ann
Arhor. II the Wolverines get by TINS
contest vithout serious injury they
should be In position 10 enter the
last two games with Wisconsin ana
Minnesota with championship claims
The usual number OF games VIII he
,,avea In the Missouri Valley confer
enco, and by elevens which do not
belong TO any association.
In the far eas, Harvard will take on
Florida IN game Of interseetlonal
character. The Crimson had little
trouble 10 defeat Centre, and indlra'
,lops are the other southern eleNens
will not furnish ssiff opposition.
