After a disastrous early season and an overwhelming defeat at the hands of Minnesota, the M&roons defeated Wisconsin, which had tied the Goph ers, and Cornell in the last two con tests. The surprising victory of the Maroons over Illinois, the conqueror of Minnesota, lias inspired the Mid way students to faith in an even greater comeback. Badgers Had Feeble Front. The task which confronts Stagg is a great one, but not such a problem as would seem by the i4 to 0 defeat which AVilliaras' machine handed the Withington eleven from Madison. After the first quarter, Wisconsin re alized it was beaten and put up a feeble front, according to Assistant Coach Pat Page, whe saw the game. The Badgers have not advanced since they defeated Chicago in October, while 'Stagg has revolutionized ^lie spirit of his team and pulled it out of its sluggish eacly season form. Stars "Pep" Up Maroons. Two all-American players were at the practice session to help in "pep ping" up the players for the coming struggle. Wallie Steffen, the great Maroon quarterback, who has been coaching Carnegie Tech. this fall, ar rived at noon and went out to the field. Steffen turned out the best team that ever represented Carnegie, holding Pittsburgh and Cornell to two touchdoAvns. "Shorty" Des Jardien, who coached Oberlin this season, was back in Chi cago. glad that his schedule is com plete. The Oberlin faculty expelled most of the first team of the great Maroon center for organizating a fra ternity and "shorty" had to build an eleven out of men who had never touched a football. Choice Seats All Sold. The seat sale for the Minnesota game kept the business office on the jump all day yesterday. A long line attacked the gymnasium to secure pasteboards at the end of the day.

If SEASON AT YALE «j« f» New Haven, Conn., Nov. 24. —The monster Yale bowl, which seats more than 80, 000 persons is not cxpected to care for all those who are fighting today to get the pre cious tickets for the ..xW*. annual Yale-Harvard slash. Tempor ary seats have been added to the great bowl and, even with these, it is expected that hundreds will be turned from the gates. It will be the thirty-seventh clash between the two big eastern colleges and an element of uncertainty, more pronounc es ed than in many years, hangs over the outcome. Harvard's supporters are claiming an edge thru the defeat of Prince ton while Yale was losing to brown, but the whole football world has come to view the Yale team, under the coach ing methods of Tad Jones with considerable respect. It has been four years since the banner of victory was flung from the New Haven flagstaff after a game with Harvard and in those years Yale has scored only five points. Previous to I' that time Yale had virtually a corner on scoring in the tie with her age-old enemy, 1912 was the last Yale year when the Blue cohorts smothered the There has been v,- Rtian''" cation that the conte.-.t wi be wi'i poured into Stagg Field ti:: Harry Legore, crack* half-back on the Yale football eleven whose work for the season has been most spectac ular, especially in the Princeton game of last Saturday.

ARMY'HOLD EDGE OVER THE MARINES New York, Nov. 34.—When the Army and Navy meet to- $ morrow at the Polo grounds $ here it will be the twenty-first S football contest between the $ two branches of Uncle Sam's $ service sohools. Of the 20 contests already decided the $ Army holds the edge by one victory, having, captured ten 4 contests, the Navy nine, and one has been a tie. 'With such men as Oliphant, Gerhardt, Vldal and McEwan making up the strongest part of this year's team the Army •i* is being generally favored to win.

As an open field runner Pollard was unequalled during the entire four years he spent at iLane. Records during the last two years of his Chicago pre gridiron career showed that he covered mojre ground than many an entire team. He could find openings in an op posing- -eleven's line faster than the: average spectator's eye could follow him. Likewise, in straight line: plunging "Fritz" always was good for at least seven or eight yards and it was rarely he iwas thrown for a loss. Encircling ends for a fifteen to twenty yard gain was a common feature for hiin. Punting and drop kicking found him unexcelled. Football, however, was "not the only sport that made Pollard's pre career stand forth. He held more track and field records than any other high school performer in the country. As a young (pre track star he equalled many col lege records at that time, especial ly in the short distance sprints. It was not a uncommon occurence to see him coming into the dres sing room after a track meet with two hands full of the customary gold, silver and bronze ibuttons. In the same style of athletic efficiency that characteriied him in his high school days. Pollard is playing football at Brown. To Pollard's work alone can be ascribed the 21 to 6 victory of the Bruins over Yale' and the subse quent 21 to 0 defeat of Harvard. PURDUE PLANS GREAT ALUMNI HOME-COMING LaFayette, Ind., Nov. 2Purdue students and alumni have completed practically all arrangements for the football game with Indiana here Sat urday, Nov. 23.
