In fact, the Carthage lad may start the game. Zuppke does not have much idea that he can win without Grange but he wants to save him. Clark, ineligible for the early part' of the season, has inproved rapidly and is one of the best of the reserve backs. He is punting well and will be an ace in the hole if Britton is withdrawn. Dick Hall May Not Start Coach Zuppke will have a patched up Jineup with two new tackles probably in the game Roberts and Crawford.

Dick Hall is in poor physical condition and it is doubtful if he will start. Swede Chambers has been pushing Miller and some people think he may supplant him, but Miller's prowess in the past probably win turn the scales. Richards is the dope for end but Muhl will get a chance. The Illini will be hustled home Saturday night from Chicago they will rest Sunday then "fight week" begins on Illinois field. Guard Against Roughing Hal Declaring there must he no more unnecessary piling up on Grange, Zuppke has assigned Capt.

McMillen and Miller, husky guards, to yank off opposing players from the Whea- ton lad. The Illini left here yesterday morn ing and were to take a workout at Cub park in the afternoon. They are quartered at the Edgewater Beach hotel. The following players made the trip: Bauer. Britton.

West Virginia's special train carried two bands and about 450 fans in addition to the squad. Coach Spears hurried his men through a light signal drill on the athletic field early this afternoon.

Badger-Gopher Game Features Big Ten Today Chicago and Illinois Picked to Win; Irish Meet Georgia Tech CHICAGO, Oct. 2B The race'for the Big Ten gridiron title will be further narrowed tomorrow when Minnesota meets Wisconsin in a game that will result in the elimination of the vanquished team. This will be the only contest between unbeaten championship contenders and is the center of interest of tomorrow's schedule, as Chicago and Illinois are conceded too great an advantage over their opponents. Chicago will meet Purdue In their annual battle at Stagg field, while Illinois will tackle Northwestern at the Chicago National league park.

Michigan will stray from conference circles to take on the Michigan Aggies at Ann Arbor in what promises to be a gallop for the Wolverines. The Iowa-Ohio tilt at Columbus is regarded as a consolation affair, since both teams have suffered defeat. Notre Dame Game Important Sharing the interest of the "Big Ten" contests is the rivalry between Georgia Tech and otre Dame at South Bend. The Notre Dame victories over the Army and Princeton indicate that Coach Rockne's warriors will repeat their victory of last season over the Georgians, possibly by a larger score than, the 14 to 0 triumph of last fall. The Wisconsin-Minnesota clash at Madison is expected to result in a Wisconsin victory, but gridiron followers would not be surprised to see the Gophers upset the calculations.

Wisconsin's overwhelming victory over Indiana a week ago indicates that Coach Ryan's eleven is ready, while the Gophers have not furnisher! much evidence of power this sea son thev managed to win their three early games only by small margins. Mnroonn-Illlni Favorites Chirae-o exDected little difficulty in disposing of Purdue.lthough the Boilermakers may offer stubborn resistance. Northwestern probably will bother Illinois with an over head attack but its defense is not considered strong enough to cope with the two Illinois battering rams r-rancn and Britton. The Iowa-Ohio clash will he watrhed with interest for, although thorns are out the race. oithor leven may upset contenders later in the season.

FOOTBALL CAMPS INDIANA BLOOMINGTON, Oct. 28 "We will work on the fundamentals all fall if necessary," declared Big Bill Ingram.

Indiana football coach, to the Hoosier candidates after the completion of their workout today. The coach did not mince words in telling his men' that their tackling against Wisconsin was the worst he had ever seen. He had the tackling dummies brought out and each man was compelled to hit the sawdust men for more than an hour. This was followed by a long drill on running down punts, in which the coaches insisted that only flying tackles be made. The men then returned to the dummies for another hour's work.

Saturday an open date for Indiana and a regulation game between the varsity and freshmen will be staged on Jor dan Field. WISCONSIN MADISON. Oct. 26 Football fans are anxiously awaiting the Wis consin-Minnesota game Saturday, which should give Coach Jack Ryan a chance to show the value of his Dartmouth style that he has insti tuted here. One big feature of the Ryan game is that more emphasis has been placed on offense and less on defense than was given under for mer coaches.

Ryan has a backfield with great driving power in Holmes, Harris and Taft, that is expected to hold its own. Taft will take care of the booting. The Badgers were given their final workout yesterday and will take it easy tomorrow. The game is the homecoming and there is'nt a hotel room available in Madison. ANN ARBOR, Oct.

26. Michigan's varsity squad went back to fundamentals today in preparation for the game with Michigan Aggies on Saturday, and Coaches Yost and Little gave the men everything in the way of elementary football. The men were divided into-" squads and, with the coaches went through passing drills, charging, blocking and going down under punts. The line Saturday will be composed of regulars, but it is possible that Hernsteln will get a chance in the backfield in place of either Capt. Kipke or Steger, with the chances favoring Steger to get a rest this week, MINNESOTA.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 26. After a long signal drill in which all the new plays were rehearsed thoroughly, the Minnesota football squad of 25 players, teachers and trainers, left here last night for Milwaukee, where it will spend a day before proceeding to Madison for the game with Wisconsin Saturday. The Gophers were given their final instructions on the defense to be used against the Badgers Saturday. Eklund, Abrahamson and Martineau spent most of the afternoon in kicking practise.

With prac tically all the major elevens unable to muster their full first string strength, chiefly because of an un- nmallv hpavv casualty list, eastern colleere football faces tomorrow its mid-season tests, including several of the keynote engagements of the fall. Prominent among games holding the center of the eastern gridiron stage are those between Penn State and West Virginia, in the Yankee stadium; Harvard and Dartmouth, at Cambridge; Princeton and the Naval academy, at Baltimore; Pennsylvania and Centre, at Philadelphia; Yale and Brown, at New Haven, and Columbia and Williams, at New York. Five important contests of Inter-sectional character also illuminate the program.

Playing on the stadium field vesterday against the Frosh eleven.

the varSity squad went through their first and last real scrimmage before Saturday's contest. Offensive plays on forward passing was the only thing tried by the Buckeyes. The frosh eleven gave a good account of itself by going through the line and breaking up pass after pass. Judy is in at quarterback and it looks like he will be the man who will com mand the team this week. Devoe also is in at fullback, with Workman and Snyder as halfbacks.

Wilson and Gorrill will play the ends, though the latter may be replaced by Cunning ham. Steel and Capt. Petcoff will be the tackles, Schultz and Oberlin guards and loung center. MARQUETTE BOSTON, Oct. 26.

Millikin will enter the St, Viator contest today against a team that is in better shape and has a stronger supply of reserve material, but in spite of all the odds the blue and white aggregation is expected to put up, a real fight out at Millikin field this afternoon. Kile will break into the game today it one of the guard posts. This Is his first week out hut he has the weight and is fairly fast and should fSe a good account of himself in his first contest. He -will fill the hole left by the ineligibility of Schulen-terg.

Lor? has been declared eligible and will be held in reserve. Ho is one or the most accurate passers that Williams has on the squad and probably will be used if Millikin is forced to use an open styl of attack. Van Dyne will do most of the lickinc. He has been worKing in department during- the scrimmage sessions and has been getting acme fair yardage. The booting portion at Millikin has been uncertain In all the games so far and a different man has been used in each contest.

Bowman and Rodsers had established the best records so far but neither will start today. Dope point to a St. Viator victory today. St. Viator played a 7 to 7 tie last week with Kalamazoo indicating much strength for the opponents of the blue and white.

And the devastating jinx continues on Million's trail, leaving in Its wake such a list of injuries and ineligibilities that it is almost an impossibility to keep tab on the squad. This is not a "bear" story. It Is borne out by the facts. The Millikin team that will start today numbers only six of the eleven who were in the openimr game of the season. Sept, 29.

The overwhelming triumph of Ryan's Badgers over Indiana last Saturday. 62 to 0, makes them favorites in the fight with the Gophers.

Illinois is doped to beat Northwestern, but a harder fought battle than is generally expected is looked for by close followers of the Orange and Blue. Chicago is likewise figured stronger than though the Boilermakers showed a much better team than for several years in holding Iowa two weeks ago. Ohio State and Iowa, both out of the title race, meet at Columbus. Millikin takes on a formidable foe in St. Viator at Millikin field.

St. Viator last week showed its strength by holding Kalamazoo Normal to a 7 to 7 tie and adherents of the Blue and White are uneasv over to day's engagement. Decatur Hieh school will attempt to break the con secutive victory string of Peoria Central High, now at eight straight, at Peoria, and Roosevelt Junior Hijch journeys to Monticello for a game with the younger preps of that town. Notre Dame's wonder team engages in its third straight intersectional combat. This time a southern eleven will invade Hoosier territory in search of a conquest.

The Irish's adversaries today will be Georgia Tech. Although not expected to win, the "Golden Tornado" is a most dangerous opponent. Notre Dame, having played two hard battles in previous weeks, a general letdown in my wouiu not oe surprising, nor would a very close score with the Irish on the long end be an upset. Michigan should have little difficulty in disposing of Michigan Ag gies. Washington and Jefferson iavonte over uetroit, Wabash and Butler should fight vcrv evenlv.

with whatever edge there is going to the luner. Notre Dame stays at home but another middle western eleven goes east to meet a machine of that section. Marquette, which has been gaining rapidly in grid prestige In recent years and led by the really great quarterback. Red Dunn, engages in its first intersectional game with Boston university in the city of culture. The outlook is dark for Harvard, held 6 to 6 by Middlebury and 7 to 0 by Hody Cross.

While Pittsburgh has been defeated, both occupy places close to the top. Like the Penn State- west Virginia affair, this contest is extremely difficult to forecast, with Carnegie Tech being a slight favor- te by virtue of its unblemished rec ord, though to the credit of Pitt it should be added that that team has met more stronger opposition.

before one of the greatest crowds of football enthusiasts in the history of Chicago. Both teams have concluded a week of strenuous drill and are prepared to enter the game with their full strength on the field. Over 30.000 people will be In the stands when the whistle sends the two teams against one another. The ticket sale for the game has been brisk and Indications point to every scat in the huge enclosure being oc cupied. A number of choice seats are still available, declared Edward u.

Davidson, ticket manager, and may be obtained at the business office in Evanston. Banner at Fullback Coach Thistlethwaite threw a sur prise into the Purple camp when he announced that Alva Graham would start at quarter against the Illini. The little fellow has been coming along in fine style during the past two weeks and his showing in prac tise has pleased the coach. Another significant switch in the Purple backfield Is the news that Banner will start at full instead of DeStefano. The latter received a bad bump on his leg in the Maroon game last Saturday which has kept him out of the greater part of the prac tise this week.
