Red Grange. the Illini untamed
terror, is being primed for the greatest
effort of his career against Chicago
Prospects are that a wet field will be
the scene of the clash in Urbana.
Since Red did his best on muddy
field against Pennsylvania. the fore
cast causes less gloom than in former
times.
The Stagg men. with their standing
as an undefeated title contender at
stake. are being imbued with the
spirit of fight by the caustic tongue Of
.'Old Man" Stage, who has been con
tent heretofore to take small scores
and hold opponents to smaller.
The Harmon brothers, Leo and
Doyle OF Wisconsin are the bugaboo
Of Iowa. which plans a special enter

inclement weather. and rainy day tao

CHICAGO. November ) (P.-Chi-
Cago's foot ball practice against Hi
nois' plays was greatly handicapped
yesterday by A sloppy field, and little
headway, was made. The squad work
out was not on the regular field. but
on a practice lot, the surface Of which
IS clay, yand 1t soon was turned into
gumbo by the rain.
This prevented the freshmen using
Red Oranges end-run attacks. from
giving the varsity much chance to
defend itself against the fleet Illini
star. Today's practice is likely to be
handicapped likewise.
Coach Stagg still is concentratin
on defense, but is trying d few offen-
sive plays.

tice sessions this season.
