1? 8 faturda.y v" THOUGHTS TURN TO THE PURPLE Gophers Will Try to Do Things to Coach McCornack's Men. By O'Loughlln. The gophers stnrt their final week of work on Korthrop field today in preparing for North western. None of the Minnesota players re ceived serious injuries in the game of Saturday and the vlcjbiy over the hard-fighting Nebras kans has put a new courage into the men on toe team. There i an old score to settle with Northwestern, find the men are out to make the Job complete by sundown Satuiday night. Last year the Methodists caught the gopher* In a trap at Chicago. Strathern was protested and thrown out at the last minute and "Sunny" Thorpe played a game upon a broken ankle, i name, by the way. that landed the big chap the 11-western guard position in Camp's selection. Minnesota had been overwhelming her oppo nents by tremendous scores, and while the gophers won a decisive victory the Evanston team wn* not defeated by the score wanted. This season the feeling has been that North western must be -'waterlooed." and with this feeling the men will stait into the work. A Dark Horse. There is no overconfldence this week as a re sult of the Nebraska game. There is no true lineout on the Northwestern team. They played miserably at the first of the season, but have been getting better as the work advanced. The Chicago papers have been predicting rather freely that MlnnesotM would catch tartar in McCornack's men. Most of the gopher follow ers believe that the Minnesotans will give the Methodists a good drubbing, but the players and the coaches are not going to take any chances on i another defeat this year. McCornaek has been quoted as saying that he expects his men to score thru speed, and this assertion is enough I to put the northland players into a humor to do I their best Northwestern will probably be some lighter than Minnesota, but those who recall the line plunges of Blair last year know that there will be something doing Saturday afternoon. The Northwestern fieshmen nlay the Minnesota freshmen Friday afternoon. The pnrple teams, with their band, leave Chicago on a special train Thursday night, and from present indications trill bring a large comnany of rooters The teams will arrive here Friday morning and will snake their headquarteis at the West or the Ulcollet. Talking of Saturday. Thruout the city the talk has been general concerning the gophei victory of Saturdav. Th" one wish wiih everv enthusiast seems to be that Minnesota had been in as good shape foi Wis consin. The badgers went over to Michigan and held Yost's men to two touchdowns, one of them fluke, and this has sriven a new line on the strength of the Wisconsin defense. It would how that Michigan is no stronger on offense than is Minnesota. There is no use worrying over what might have been, but the thought lin gers with everv follower of the team. The Northwestern game ticket sale opened to Gay at the usual places and theie was a steady demand for tickets, altho there was no rush. This sale started much like that for the Nebras ka game when the nublic held awav to see if the weather was going to break. The same thing seems to be holding good today If there Is fair weather Friday, or the chance for fair Tveather Saturday there will be another big erowd to watch the players work. Minnesota has no Thanksgiving game, and it will be the last chance to see the teams in play before next September. Last year 0 000 enthusiasts traveled from Minneapolis to Chicago to see these teams play, and saw one of the hardest fights of the year. Chicago turned1 Changes Worked Well. There can be no doubt but that the exchange Stieugthentd the orange and black team for the Central game. Wiih tw weeks more training In their new places, Rose and Dahlquist should play better than they did af^er they had been in a week. This will bring "the south town team well up to the St. Paul aggregation, and the Ichances of the game look about even. The chief faults of the team are slowness In fcomprehending signals and fumbling. With the work done last week and three days' stiff prac tice this week, Coach Uoldblum should be able to drill out a good deal of each fault. Consid ering their lack of weight and experience the South Side players put up a remarkable game ttgainst Central, and the practice and confidence gained there should stand them in good stead next Friday. While it would be rash to at tempt to sav whicn team will wiu, the South i de rooters have no need to feel downcast over the prospects. Noith is still working hard, but is not doing tnuch which is of interest to the public. Prac tice is as frequent and as stiff as it was earlier in the season, and a squad large enough to give good results is reporting to Coach Nve every af ternoon. Manager Gaylord is still hard at work '.trying to schedule games with out-of-town teams and may have have something to report in a few days. At present everything is unsettled, and it is impossible to say whether or not North Will have a same this week. St. Thomas Willing. St. Thomas, which is anixous to play, and is hn opponent worthy of the North Sideis, has its hands full with the Shattuck game, which will ,fce played at St Thomas ne\t Wednesday, and cannot be counted on for this week. Lincoln is Btill flirting but declines to give a final answer -of any kind. Pillsbury has absolutely refused to play. 1 GOMPARING GOPHERS WITH WOLVERINES Madison, Wis., Nov. 20.The vanquished badgers, returning from the Ann Arbor game, express the opinion that Minnesota is not as 'strong as Michigan.^ but many of the spectators who saw both the Minnesota and Michigan games say that the wolverines have not much the better of the gophers. They point to the fact that Michigan and .Minnesota made the same number of points ^against- the badgers, that each team made its first six points on a fumbled kick by Melzner, and that Wiconsin. with a little of the good fortune at Ann Arbor that favored them at Minneapolis, might easily have had about as many points as they secured against their rivals of the north. Melzner failed at four trials of drop-kicking at Ann Arbor, and the badgers by merest hard luck escaped making two touchdowns that critics Bay were well deserved on the basis of their yround-gainlng abilities. And so there are men at Madison who talk of the vast part that chance and luck play in deciding football champion* ships, and conclude that Minnesota can well claim to be right up in front in the same class with the unbeaten wolverines. CEDAR FALLS 6. EAST WATERLOO 0. Cedar Kails, Iowa. Nov. 20.The Tigers of the .Cedar Falls high school played the East Water loo football team In that nlace Saturday. The core was 6 to 0 a favor of Cedar Falls. 4^w out well to see the ophers and if weather conditions are favorable the attendance will probably eclipse that of the Nebraska game. Minnesota's Prospects. In Saturday's game it is probable that Min nesota will present the same lineup as that con fronting the Nebraskans. This constitutes a strong, fast team, and the coaches will look to It that the men are handled right this week. The quality of the play would appear, today, to be ajl up to Northwestern. If thev are good it will be a rattling game. If they are not the gopher machine barring accidents or a slump, will make mincemeat of them. The last im pression of a football team sticks thru the whole year, and knowing this the Minnesotans will, without doubt, attempt to perform even more brilliantly next Saturdav than they did last. HIGH SGHOOL SEASON IS NEABLY OYER By Gil. South Side comes to the front in what high fcehool football there is this week. On Fridi the orange and black team 111 play St. Paul Central high, probably at Lexington park. The game will be a good one, for the St. Paul bunch proved a hard nut for Central and held the score lower than the champions' tally against Bouth. While fro'm bate comparison of scores it would look as if the down-river team had the best of it there are other considerations hich make things seem more even. When South played Central Coach Uoldblum had Just shifted Rose of left half and put Dahlquist in at a left tackle. The change materially strength ened the team, but both men showed a little un jamiliarity with their places. Monday Eveaing, ECKERSALL HOLDS CHICAGO'S HOPES Critics Declare He Alone May Be Expected to Win Michigan Game. Journal Special Service. Chicago. Nov. 20.The Record-Herald, in its football review today says: With the approach of the end of the western football season interest centers in the Thanks giving day contest between Chicago and Michi gan on Marshall field, which, barring a tie, will glv,e one of these teams a clear title to the championship. Up to the piesent time each has won all of its games and every other member of the college conference has been put out of the running. Michigan's defeat of Wisconsin Saturday elim inated the badgers, who have been prominent contenders, in spite of their defeat by Chicago. While the badgers put up a great flaht against Yost's men, the victory of the latter was de cisive and there remains no question as to which is the superior team. Of the great strength of Michigan's aggregation no one who saw the contest can have any doubt It was the fiist severe trjont the eleven has had, and Michigan supporters are satisfied with it. Hope Lies in Eckersall. On the Midway hopes are centered in Ecker sall's speed and his kicking. His work against Illinois Saturday did much to encourage the maroon partisans, and they are hoping that he can boot the ball over the goal posts for more points than Michigan can rut it over the goal lines. With both Stagg and Yost covering up their style of play, many believe that there will be a surprise for somebody on Thanksgiving day. Each is resourceful enough to bring out some thing new in football, and in this respect the coming battle will be much different from the wolverine-badger struggle, which wsa played for the most part on simple lines. Little Room for Doubt. The Chronicle says: Only a tie game between Chicago and Michigan will prevent supremacy in western football being determined this fall. Wisconsin, which has waved its banner in the honor column for the last two weeks because of her defeat of Minnesota, is now clearly out of the running. Chicago and Michigan are the unbeaten teams of the west, and they are to fight it out on Thanksgiving day. The game at Ann Arbor Saturday was one of the greatest struggles ever witnessed on a wes tern gridiron. Yost's powerful football machine was In its best foim and it wreaked havoc to the fighting badgers, Michigan was stronger on both defense and offense and it really would seem that she could have made a larger score. On straight football the Michigan team is magnificent. It is the opinion of many that for strength and precision the wolverine eleven of this year is the best since the Yost regime. Stagg's Defense Weak. Chicago's decisive victory over Illinois makes Stagg's men appear as a stumbling block to the climax of the Michigan season. There is ab solutely no doubt that on straight football, as commonly talked among students, Michigan would defeat the maroons by a comfortable scoie. Stagg's line of defense cannot hold out for seventy minutes against such attack as was displayed by the wolverines at Ann Arbor Sat urday. On the other hand, Stagg's men could never gain consistently thru the Michigan line. There is little doubt that Michigan is much stronger than Chicago in every sense of the word strength. However, the work of Eckersall, if well pro tected, might'gain a victory over the wolverines in spite of their wonderful strength. Eckersall's five goals from the field in the game Saturday is something unheard in football, and proves he is dangerous whenever near the 40-yard Hue. If the Chicago coach can devise enough fakes and misleading plays and perfect them so that Eck ersall can get to the striking point often enough he might even be able to make more points with his toe than the Michigan team of eleven men. ELIS EMERGE FROM GAME UNSCATHED Journal Special Service. New Haven. Conn Nov 20 With the whole eleven practically in as good shape as before the Piinceton clash Saturday, the, Yale team wa-i given light work todav. The coaches taught the line how to stop the tandem plays of the crimson. It is felt here that Yale will have no trouble in stopping plays directed at the line, but left end is causing some anxiety. Jack Gates, whose work Saturday was not up to his usual form, is a bit overtrained. H Jones, who went in Saturday, is a capable substitute f&r the place and is heavier than Gates, but lacks experience. He will be glv^n attention to fit him for the place if Gates does not swing into shape. Knox, who took Veeder's place, is too light to be effective, and it is likely that Roome will start at half if Veeder is not in top condi tion. Tripp hurt his ankle slightly in the Princeton game, but will be made fit before the Harvard contest. The rest of the eleven is in prime shape, and if necessary could get into hard practice at once. INDEPENDENT FOOTBALL The Second Indians have defeated the Grants by a score of 20 to 0. and now claim the 85- pound championship. They have won fourteen out of fifteen games played and the remaining game was a tie with the Tigers. The Tigers will come to the Sumner's grounds Nov. 5 to play off the tie.

HAYWARD 16, RICE LAKE 5. Havward, Wis., Nov. 20.The Hayw.ird high school football team defeated Rice Lake here Saturday by a score of 16 to 5. Two touchdowns and a place kick gave Heyward the winning score. Heyward had the lighter team but was cut on speed and team work. 32"-*-, v*' "BIG FOUR" GETS NEW COMPLEXION Pennsylvania's Indifference and Rise of Swarthmore and Dart mouth Mean Changes. Journal Special Service, New York, Nov. 20.Princeton's defeats, Pennsylvania's attitude on the ineligibility of players and the decided superiority of several of the smaller college teams over larger ones have disrupted the standing of the "Big Four" as supreme in football. Nes.t year's schedules in all probability will be changed materially, and two of the second division colleges will be found taking part in the season's so-called big games. They are Dartmouth and Swarthmore. The former has proved itself to be better than Princeton and equal to Harvard, and the latter, by decisively beating Lafayette, which tied Pennsylvania, worked her way into the first division In all likelihood the big games next season will be Y/ale with Harvard and Princeton. Har vard with Yale and Dartmouth, Princeton with Yale and Dartmouth and Pennsylvania with Mich igan and Swarthmore. Pennsylvania Forces Action. Pennsylvania by playing Lamson in the Har vard game caused a breach In the relations between the two colleges, which is not likely to heal. Every quaker knew at the time what the result would be, and, with an indifferent air, started the cry foi a game with Michigan. Pennsylvania has always been willing to play anyone under her own conditions, and as Michi gan has long wanted to try one of the "Big lour" she is likely to seize upon the chance for a game between the east and the west. The talk of Pennsylvania and Princeton get ting closer together is advanced by fading mem ory of past disagreements. On this subject the Princeton Alumni Weekly asks satirically: "WiH Pennsylvania Insist on an agreement cutting out all eligibility rules?" Columbia may have no games with the big colleges except Pennsylvania next year. Dart mouth nnauestionably has earned the standing she now hab with the big colleges. She has played straightforward football, with not even trick plays, and has only one defeat recorded against her this season. That was administered in the form of unexpected strength by Colgate, which won by a score of 16 to 10. Record Was Unknown. A defeat of Princeton and a tie with another "Big Four" is something an outsider has never accomplished before, and it Is no wonder the Hanovers' throats are choking down a lump of Joy. From less than 1,000 students an eleven was chosen that downed the tiger and proved equal to the crimson team selected from 5,393 men. Swarthmore, the second of the outside colleges to earn more consideration, has not had a large schedule this year, but she will not suffer from that source next season. On the two previous Saturdays her eleven has been Idle. But in the meantime, on a Wednesday game, she stamped her seal of importance by defeating Lafayette 27 to 0. She has been fceaten by Pennsylvania 11 to 4 in her second game of the season, but Lafayette tied Pennsylvania when the latter was primed for the Harvard game, and the tale of the quakers' victory over the crimson is one of the upheavals of the year. Swarthmore's de feat and whitewash of Cornell added another Instance of proof of her power. Yale, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Harvard, Swarthmore, Princeton and Lafayette are the lucky seven to have the best teams this year. When Princeton scored on Yale it left not one of the eastern colleges with a clean slate of defense. Michigan is the only team that has not been scored on COYOTES PLAY FOR TITLE TOMORROW Special to The Journal. Vermillion, S. D., Nov. 20.The football war riors of the state university have but two more games to play this season, and they will no doubt nrove hard ones. The first takes place at Brookings next Tuesday against the strong agricultural college team. If scores were a good criterion, the university players would have an easy time of it at Brookings. But these -i J!\- vs $$#&, ^'^^^^:^4im^imrMm cannot always he relied upon. Mitchell defeat- Foster 15 ed jBrookings early in the season by a score of 22 to 0. The coyotes of Vermillion then turned around and walloped Mitchell to the tune of 23 to 5. But Brookings has strengthened ma terially since playing the Wesleyans and the re port comes that the team from the agricultural crfllege is at least 100 per cent stronger than a month ago. Two afternoons of hard practice have been giier the locals since the game last Monday, as the players were given a rest in order to catch up with studies. The team left for Brookings thi morning. Upon this game hinges the championship of the state. A creat loss to the coyotes is at hand. Ward Walker, halfback, has been denied the right to play in the two games to come on account of parental opposition. The last game in which the coyotes will par ticipate this season will be the Thanksgiving contest at Sioux City with Morningside college. It Is thought here that the Methodists will show up a groat deal stronger in this game than in any other during the fall, and the play eis here are not dead sure of victory. IOWA IS CONFIDENT STATE TITLE IS HERS Special to The Journal. Iowa. City, Iowa, Nov. 20.Iowa rooters are happj today. Talking over Saturday's game, in which Drake university was annihilated 44 to 0, the followers of the hawkeye eleven are confident that they will have the state cham pions to welcome home, after the game with Ames on Friday of this week. The Iowa men played great ball Saturday, and their impregna ble line and terrific assaults on the enemy's line never showed up better this season. The old Michigan star, Heston, now coaching Drake, said after the game: "Iowa beat my bunch worse than I anticipated. The hawkeyes are surely the coming champions of Iowa. They are playing fierce ball, both individually and collectively. The team work is" the finest in the state. They can't fail to lick the Ames eleven and win the state pennant." Iowa is in good condition after the game with Drake and fully ready for the "Ames contest. The hospital list still includes Seidel, tackle Chalmers, halfback, and Green, substitute full back, all of whom are valuable ground gainers. With the exception of Green, whose collarbone is fractured, the. team will doubtless be intact, however, by the time it goes to Amei. THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. GRIDIRON NEWS FROM EJJSfERN AND WESTERN FIELDS^ Caught on the Fly on Northrop Field BENEDICT GETTING AWAY ONE OF HIS PUNTS. PORTIN POTLMfff OyU)VfflLIN The smile hasn.'t come .off yet. From Wisconsin today comes the story that Phil King may be retained as a coach at Wisconsin another year. It is said that "if King is retained he will insist on cuttingitout big games, holding1 one the impossiblf to bring men into form for three supreme efforts, and that if one game is cut out it would most likely be that with Min nesota. Either Philip or the Madison scribes should investigate the existing con tracts. Wisconsin and Minnesota have one year of play yet under the contract made last fall. Doc Bixby's harp is doubtless high upon the limb of some Platte valley willow this morning. Two middle-aged chaps followed that game Saturday with considerable inter est. They were the dads of Joe Cutting and Arthur Larkin. Both are football fans of the first water. The gophers say they will avenge "Mose" Saturday. The news of Saturday's game did not cause great grief at Boulder, Col. Between tfle .^fipg of a grandstand with the possibmtv of "tfamage suits and the fact that Wisconsin robbed Michi gan of much of its ''terrible'' reputa tion, the Ann Arbor ointment had sev eral flies in it Saturday night.

Kelley, manager of the St Paul American asso ciation baseball club, against Harry Pulliam, Ban C. Johnson and August Herrmann, c6nstl tuting the national baseball commission, seeking to preveht the enforcement of a decision that he should go to the St,4 Louis American league club as arranged by George, Leunon, owner ot the St. Paul club, was set for hearing before Judge A. C. Thompson of the United States dis trict court today. Kelley secured a temporary injunction on the statement in his application that he was not under a contract which would permit* his sale to another club, and that further the sale to St. Louis was not genuine, but was intended to prevent him from playfhg elsewhere. It is understood that Kelley fishes to manage the Toledo American association club, which Yvonld be prevented if the sale to St.' Louis is held valid. When Judge Thompson too* up the case, the attorneys for the commission asked for a post ponement on the ground that Pulliam, one of the members of the national committee, had not been served with notice of the suit. The court granted a postponement nntil Monday next week. Meantime the temporary injunction holds. LAKE BENTON 10, BROOKINGS 6.

ROOSEVELT, JR. LION OF HIS CLASS President's Son, Praised for Plucky Work, Flees Em barrassed. Journal Special Service. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 20.Theodore Roose velt, Jr., can stand any amount of buffeting and pummeling' in a football game, but he simply can't 4tand praise. It was this fiact that made him shake the dust of Cambridge from his feet yesterday. Foiced ,to the blushing point by the unstinted congratulations of his friends over his plucky light in the Harvard-Yale freshman foot ball game, Teddy found Harvard square air in tolerable and so spent Sunday with his grand mother in Brook line. He aid not leturn to his room In Claverly hall until late last night, and when he did he crept cautiously in by the back entrance as it he had done something to be ashamed of in stead of something which has made him the most talked of man in the university. For that io what Teddy is today. Graduates and under graduates, members of his own class ana news boys selling papers on the street all pronounce him the sandiest freshman that has come to Harvard in many years. Worked Like a Vet. "I never thought he would do it," one promi nent senior said. "I knew he was a scrapper, for I went down to Soldiers' field one day on would make the final team against Yale. He showed that he had it in him, however, when those Elis came around his end why, he nailed them like a veteran." Among his classmates the feeling is strong that Roosevelt has something which deserves more than passing praise. Each year about this time the freshmen hold their first class elec tion and usually the men who have distinguished themselves upon the gridiron are chosen. This being the fact, it is not all unlikely that Teddy, Jr., will come np as a candidate for office, and if he does his election goes without saying. Today the prospect of having a* president's son as president or at least? secretary of 1009 was openly discussed. The only reason that Harvard could possibly see against it was that Teddy might decline, feeling that others might feel that his influence gave him the place. He Hates Publicity. purpose to watch him, but I never thought he association make no further efforts to in any Those who are acquainted with the circum-' stances, however, know better than this, and II the wishes of a great number of" the members of 1909 are followed out, Roosevelt will simply have the office thrust upon him. Today Teddy is sore and bruised from his hard struggle of yesterday, but otherwise is in good condition. When asked for bis opinion in re gard to the brutality of football, and if he agreed with his father that the game ought to be made easier, Teddy refused to talk. "I don't wish to get in the newspapers," he said. "I've been there altogether too much al ieady." If silence means consent, however, and' if Teddy's swollen face signifies anything, the president's son has learned by this time that football is anything but a ladies' game. SOLDIERS DEFEATED BY A ST. PADL TEAM The Amateur Athletic association team of St. Paul defeated the Fort Snelling team yesterday by a score of 5 to 0. The game, which was played at Lexington park, was hotly contested from start to finish. The teams were evenly matched and the soldiers, tho inexperienced, played a plucky game and showed better con I dition than their opponents. Neither team was able to score in the first half, but the ball was in Snelling territory the greater part of the time. Both teams made i good gains, but the ball changed hands on "fumbles frequently. In the second half the A. A. A. team started from the kick-off and, aided by several penal ties imposed on the soldiers, marched to the fort's 1-yaid line, where Omer was shoved over for a touchdown. The half ended just as the soldiers had carried the ball from their 30^-yard line to the association's 30-yard line. Had" the game lasted a few minutes longer the soldiers would have scored, as their superior physical condition was beginning to tell. A large number of rootejs followed the team from the fort and. aided by the Twenty-eighth infantry band, cheered lustily for their team. After the game one of the Snelling rooters attempted to assault Referee Cronshaw because he had penalized the soldiers several times. The St. Paul team rallied to the defense of the official and it looked for a few minutes as if there would be a general free fight. The teams lined up as follows: Athletic Association Fort SnellinK Horiess left end Winberg MeCrae left tackle Blanton Murphy left guard Wells Westenhagen center Collins Brennan right guard Truax Keen right tackle McCollum Sloan right end Higglns Bywater quarterback Glllis Irhig le half Malleau Kliner right half Miller Omer fullback Capt.

Winston, Thomas Walsh and Alfred J. Hill came from Boston to repre sent the New England associations W. A. Woods and Max Rosenfeld of San Francisco and E. A. Morgan of Portland, Ore., the Pacific association Theodore Strauss and Dr. W. Grant of Baltimore, the Southern Atlantic W. Mao Crossen and C. Murray of Philadelphia, the Atlantic E. C. Brown of Chicago, the Central, and J. E. Sullivan, C. C. Hughes, J. P. Boyle, G. T. Hepbron, Dr. L. Gulick and Barton S. Weeks of New York, the Metropolitan. James E. Sullivan, secretary of the associa tion, says that the meeting is "the most repre sentative national athletic conference ever held in America." The legislative committee has drawn up and recommended for adoption a nnmber of important changes in the rules of the association. In the first place it is suggested that billiards, fencing and lacrosse be dropped, and that the way control them. It will be recommended that the president ot each active branch of the association shall be empowered to appoint athletic commissioners, who shall have territory alloted to them within which these representatives will have power to grant temporary cards of registration, to grant sanctions, to disqualify athletes and, in case of disqualification, to investigate and try the suspected athlete and report such findings to the chairman of the registration committee of such association for final action. These officers will be given much of tn*e power of the registration if this rule Is passed. As it has been with the work of the Metropolitan registration committee that so much fault has been found, local athletes will welcome the change if the commissioners be capable men. Another recommendation that will be of In terest to every metropolitan athlete is one to the effect "that in considering and determining the amateur standing of any athletes the com mittee investigating may act on any kind of evidence, circumstantial or direct, and may re ceive affidavits and in its discretion may con sider common report sufficient basis for suspen sion or disqualification, and shall have thstpOwer to permanently suspend any amateur who ne glects or refuses within thirty days to answer questions touching upon his amateur status." HARYARD IN DISGUST OYER TEAM'S SHOWING Journal Special Service. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 20.Sore and disgust ed over the result of the tie game with Dart mouth, Harvard's football eleven has very little to say. Among graduates and: undergraduates, however, there was a feeling that the team did not come up to scratch. After their bitter de feat at the hands of Pennsylvania, everyone expected to see a big brace Saturday, and that it did not come is taken as an indication simply that the team has not it in them to play against winning football. 'All the men came out of the game in good shape except Hanley and Lockwood. the two full backs, each of whom has a bad leg. Harrison, who played the position during the last part' of the game, proved a big surprise, not only to the coaches and spectators, but to hfmself. Last Thursday he was pronounced permanently unfit. However, he played like a demon and did not feel the least effect from the game. CHICAGO OWNER WON New York, Nov. 20.William H. Moore of Chicago carried off first honors from the Madison Square Garden horse show. His horses captured eleven blue ribbons, three reds, seven yellows and fonr "highly commended" besides $3,070 in cash ^prizes and a leg on the Waldorf-Astoria and Hotel Martinique cups.

Journal Special Service. Chicago, Nov. 20.The Inter Ocean, dlrcoaa* ing western football, says: With their defeat at the hands of Michigan on Saturday, the badgers were forced to retire from the western championship race, and It it now up to the Thanksgiving day game to de cide the football honors of this section of the country. That this game will be one of th hardest ever played in the west is admitted by all, including some of the moat ardent support ers of the maize and blue. Michigan's victory was well earned, even tbo the badgers did outplay the men from Ann Ar bor at times. Yost had a better developed team than King, but individually the Wisconsin men were every bit as good as their heavier oppo nents. The Wisconsin men were forced to tight against a better developed football machine that outweighed them at least ten pounds to the man, and they did everything in their power to stop the tremendous rushes of the Michigan men. Scored First on Fluke. The first touchdown was the direct result fumble by Melzner on Wisconsin's 5-yard Una, and then it took everything that Yost's men had to push the ball over the line. The second score was the result of a straight march down the field from the kickoff, and was earned by superior football. At times the Yost offense was irresistible, but at all times It was a trifle slow, while the Wisconsin offense was even slower. The Michigan line was practically impregna ble, but a few times Roseth and Wrabete were able to get thru for substantial gains. Where the badgers gained was in running back pnnts and around or thru the wolverines' ends. These are the weakest points in the great machine molded by Yost. Bush worked the time-honored fake punt twice and gained fifteen and twenty five yards respectively. Both plays appeared to be fakes before they were started, one being made on the first down, but the Michigan enda were under the impression that the badgers would not have the audacity to attempt to de ceive them, and they certainly played as tho tbey believed it Ends Were Slow. The ends were also weak on getting down the field on punts. Melzner gained considerably more ground ou returning punts than did Nor eross. Barlow and Tom Hammond, altho the Michigan men received more aid from their team mates. In punting also is Michigan weak, as Bush, who 1B only a fair pnnter, outkicked Garrels on every punt. Garrels is slow in getting his kicks off. and it was only' the great strength of the wolverine forwards that kept many of his kicks from being blocked. Chicago showed that it has a powerful team in the manner in which the snbbbacks ran over the unfortunate Illini and made bubstantial gains. Eckersalll, as usual, was the great star, and that was to be expected, but the work of the substitute backs came as a* great and pleas ing surprise to the maroon backers. Perhaps Stagg may have some substitute ready for the Michigan game. Eckersall's great feat of making five goals "against a big nine" team will stand for a long time, for at present there is not a goal kicker in his class. Melzner and Tom Hammond both made several attempts to kick goal from place, bnt all failed. Chicago is strongest where Michigan 1B weakest, that is, in kicking and the open game. Stagg's Style Open. Stagg has developed the most open style of play now in use in the west, and with Oatlin carrying the ball for one ot his wide end runs, it is certain that he will be able to gain around Garrels. The maroons have shown greater speed in nearly all their games than Michigan did on Saturday, and this will help considerably In playing the more open game. It is expected that the maroons win be in better condition on Thanksgiving day than their opponents. The Chicago men have nothing to do from now until the big game, while Michi gan will play Oberlln on Saturday, and there is a possibility that some of the wolverines may be injured, but on the other hand It is prob able that Yost will take no chances In having any of his stars injured. Coach Jimmy Sheldon has delivered the goods at Indiana by defeating the strong Wabash team by the score of 40 to 0, when it was expected that the hoosiers would be lucky to win at all. Northwestern succeeded in defeating the Mich igan agricultural college and Minnesota showed that it had a strong team by beating Michigan's score against Booth's cornhuskers and running np 85 points. It is probable that Minnesota will make a fair-sized score against Northwest ern next Saturday. Tribune Says Little. The Tribune says: The 1905 football cham pionship has narrowed down to Chicago and Michigan in the west and to Yale and Pennsyl vania in the east. Yost and Stagg will settle their little dispute on Thanksgiving day at Mar shall field. There was nothing far out of line in Satur day's gridiron results in either section. Many expected Michigan to beat Wisconsin by a larger score than 12 to 0, but some expected the badger to trim the wolverine, so the result was a fair average of expectations. Chicago raised its stock a few points by beating Illinois 44 to 0. with a substitute backfleld. This was eleven points more than Michigan made against the same team two weeks before. Figuring on the Ann Arbor game. Michigan either two touchdowns or eight points stronger than Chicago, /because the maroons could- not cross the badger goal line, bnt kicked four points from the field. Figuring on the Marshall field game, Chicago is eleven points better than Michigan, and one touchdown weaker, because Stagg's men crossed the Illinois goal fonr times while Michigan made five touchdowns, but Eck ersall made five field goals to one by Hammond. That shows how much comparative scores are worth in gridiron dope. Victory can be figured out for either team on turkey day.
