I1I'VOIS- CHICAGO I3 LEADING GAME
By Tad

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-whi1e the Illi- nois-Chicago game Saturday at Ur- bana Is holding the principal atten- tion in the Big Ten football circles this week, there is likelihood that the encounter between Michigan and Iowa may have as important a bear ing on the outcome of the confer ence season.
 Coach Yost has a veteran team to send against the Hawkeyes, Iowa, however, has twice been tested against strong teams and the defeat at the hands of Illinois has only served to strengthen the Iowa team
 Both Michigan and Iowa have de- feated Ohio by about the same scores, indicating that the two teams are evenly matched. The Wolverine eleven has come through it's con- tests with almost no injuries of i'm portance, while Iowa has had an ex- tensive hospital list
 Chicago and Illinois are in the heart of their training week today perfecting their offense. Many be- lieve that Coach Stagg will have his team uneork a forward pass on Sat urday to compete with the open playing ot the Illinois team.

Chattanooga's Loss Of Cap tain Cate Weakens Their
 Aerial Attack

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. l. Especial. )-Their chief attacking as- set, the forward passing game. all awry because of the injury of Capt. Harry Cate, the University of Chat tanooga coaches are not approach ing Saturdays game with Sewanee with any considerable degree of op- timism. Sewanee for many seasons has seemed to he keyed up for the Chattanooga garae as for none other on the schedule except perhaps for Vanderbilt and Alabama. The Tigers each year have taken special delight in rubbing the Moccasins into the ground and like to pile mp big score. This year IS not expected to be an exception tc the rule, although there isn't much fear of a hugo score as in olden days.
 The team, with Gray shifted to fullback, showed considerable in- provement against Pennsylvania last Saturday, but still displayed its old failing of a lack of punch near the goal line. The forward passing game finally produced the score except that Gray was called on to travel the last few yards. The same weakness was apparent against Birmingham South ern last year with largely the same team that the Moccasins have this year, the ball staying in Birming- hams half of the field throughout the game, but never being showed across the goal line.
 Anderson and Givens are being drilled in passing this week. Both are fair, but neither is in the class with Cate. The absence of the cap- tain also cuts down the bunting strength of the club, none of the other punters being quite as good as the captain. Except for these two weaknesses, however, the team is in fine fettle and they believe they'll be able to put up a stiff defensive exhibition against the Tigers. as well as frighten them with an occasional effective forward pass.

 Sonville Eleven

AUBURN, Ala., Nov. 1.-(SpeciaL) Auburn Freshmen will meet the Jacksonville State Normal school football team at Talladega, Ala, Sat urday afternoon in their 1ltth grld contest of the season.
 The Jacksonville team has won quite a reputation this season. Early in the season the Normalites tied Bir- mingham- Southern 0 to 0. The team is being coached by c. c. Bush or Auburn and the freshmen will prob ably be handed some of their own formations to break-up.
 Hassler, former Ensley High star. has been given charge of the quarter back post. Hassler was all-state prep quarter before coming to Auburn. The diminutive, ex-prepper, though small of stature--weighing only 125 pounds made fine showing against the Troy Normal team last Friday. Another Ensley star of last season has proven one of the mainstays at tackle John English, who weighs around 190 pounds and who has shown lot of aggressiveness at tackle this season, has been going good all sea- son. Backledge, who halls from Nor field. Miss, has shown some real stuff at guard the past week. The big freshman did not report until the past week and since his entry into the game has made it hard for the varsity to make beadWay in his di- rection. Daugette, who will prob ably get in the game Saturday, will be playing against his team mates of last season, having finished at the normal school last year.
 Those making the trip to Talla- dega will probably include Robinson and Cunning, centers; Glass and Backledge and Ernest, guards; Eng fish, Akin and Long, tackles; Moul- ton (CaDtO Petite and Daugette ends; Hassler and Edwards, quarters; Whitaker. Address. Gregg and Ha- good, halves; Shamblin and Starkey. fullbacks.

Signs For Bout With Joe Egan At Boston On
 November 19

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-(By Associ- ated Press. )-Young Stribling, Ma con, Ga, schoo1boy boxer who rose to fistic fame as result of his fight for the worlds light heavyweight championship with Mike McTigue, IT. ish-American holder of the title, ar- rived in New York today with his father, seeking new ring laurels.
 During the day Stribling signed to meet Joe Egan, Boston middleweight, at Boston November 19 or 21 in his next fight; visited Tex Rickard at Madison Square Garden and flung a challenge at McTigue for return match.
 "Pa" Stribling declared his convic- tion that "the boy" outfought Me Tigue in their turbulent match at Columbus, Ga, October 4, which was declared a draw by, Referee Harry Ertle of Jersey City. N. J., and an nounced his son was eager to meet the Irish American again, preferably under the decision law of New York Inasmuch as McTlgue is signed to defend his title in match with Gene Tunney at the Garden on De- cember 10, Stribling will have to forego his desire, for while at least.
 The sStriblings, however, had an extended conference with Rickard and the 1atter's matchmaker, Frank Flournoy, and declared they would be ready for a match here with any opponent the promoter may select either in December or January.
 Stribling came to no definite agreement with Rickard, but it is possible he may be signed to meet the winner of the McTigue- -Tunney battle. Newark promoters offered the southerner a bout with Harry Greb, middleweight champion, the last of this month, but it was re- jected.
 A slight injury to his back, suf- fered in training, has forced Strib- ling to stop boxing temporarily, but he expects to resume training when he returns home next week to take up his high school studies, which he pursues when not in the ring. He will return north a few days before his bout with Egan.
 Stribling, a dark -haired, strapping g youth, still has a year of study to complete his high school course, and according to his father, does not in- tend to abandon his studies yet for a fistic career. He will be 19 next month His visit to New York today was the first since 1914. when he was on tour with the Stribling family vaudeville troupe. ....., .----
 Stribling, now one of the south's pugilistic idols has been guided sole ly in his ring activities by "Pa" Stribling, who believes the youth is a coming champion. When the youngster first turned professional about two years ago he weighed IF pounds. He tipped the beam at 166 in his last bout.
