The idea Of q large and representa-
tive Eastern university eleven invad-
ing its territory has aroused the in
terest Of every Chicagoan TO fever
pitch. All you hear now is talk Of the
game. This struggle Is to Chicago
what the e-Harvard game is to Bos-
ton or to New Haven.
They figure, they meaning the people
of this city and surrounding vicinity,
that Yale, Harvard and Princeton are
supreme In the East. That any time a
Western eleven defeats one Of the Big
Three tho West has scored heavily over
the East. Consequently the cry, which
becomes louder with each succeeding
day, is "Beat Princetonl"
Chicago Wants Two Straight
Chicago is extremely anxious to hang
it on tho Tiger, in view of the fact
that this contest Is likely to be the last
lntersectional game for any Of the Big
Three FOR some time to come. The
Maroon has already won one game,
and Is aiming to make it two in success
sion, SO that Chicago graduates can
dren and their great-grandchildren !:
"oh, yes, they play football little
down in the East, but back in 1921
and 1922 Chicago defeated Princeton
a leader in the East, twice in success
sion"
You would think that Chicago's VIC
tory last year and Iowa's overthrow Of
the other branch Of the aristocracy
would leave these people out here quite
contented, but, like the mob of Paris
when it stormed the Bastille, the folks
here will be satisfied with nothing
short of utter destruction.
More than 100000 have already ap-
6plied for tickets. Stagg Field accom-
modates $1,000.
Last year it was understood the
teams would make no undue prcpara-
tions for the game. But anxiety for
victory has caused both to cut5tep the
usual pace in the way of preparations
this fall. We get it from somebody
who heard it from somebody who Is
close to one of Stages assistants that
tucked away for this struggle-that
he is leaving nothing eundone to give
Princeton a fond farewell.
On the other hand we understand
from some of the wiseacres that there
never was so much hustle and hustle i'll
Jungletown. Bill Roper was in
town on Saturday giving the Chicago
eleven the once over twice, and you
| know Bill wouldn't make that trip to
and from New York and Chicago for
his health. So it seems that Old Mas
/ sau and Chicago have been outstriding
themselves. in preparing for this meet;

Tigers Favored to Win
A month ago we figured that Prince
ton would be simply q set-up for the
Maroon after what happened last year.
Since then we have had quite a change
of mind. Now we are inclined to be-
lieve the Tiger has the edge.
Stage faces the problem of develop
ing quarterback to succeed Romne
who was largely responsible for
Princeton's defeat last year. Gh:cago's
ne is comparatively green. Mcclure
and other notables of last years eleven
have departed. Also, Chicago greatly
needs q kicker. Romney did the kick

to have around. Moreover, Primes

1t looks to US as if the Tiger might
we'll be the victor.
Professional football is in flourish
ing condition out here. Sixteen teams
from Buffalo to Green Bay, Wis. make
up what is known as the National pro
fessional League. Games are plavsd
at the White Sox Park and at the
CUBS Park on every Sunday after
noon. Yesterday about sixteen pro-
tessional games were played in me
immediate vicinity of Chicago.
