Every team in woHlorn footban clr

hopoB of winning tho championship of

tho handB of Neoraska would put Dr.
WllHam'B team out of tho running. To
those who are following cloBoly tho
work of Minnesota it looks aB tnough
it ia Nebraska's turn to win from tho
Gophers,
Tho Minnesota eleven is undoubted
ly weaker than It waB a year ago, whllo
Nebraska has practically tho Bamo
toam of last season, and according
to "dope" ought to win. But It Is an
oxtromoly hard fab for any toam to
whip tho Gophers on their own Hold.
At home they never play llko a weak
toam, and with crafty Williams de
vising new tricks all the tlmo, thoy us
ually are able to down such teams aB
NobraBka, and AmeB, although Uiobo
lattor may be stronger and play better

Nebraska haB tho beBt chanco since
1002 of winning over tho Gophers. Tho
toam 1b in fine physical condition. Tho
. line has been strengthened since last
Saturday and in scrimmage this week
has been playing good ball. Tho men
on tho team would rather defeat Min
nesota than any other eleven on their
CHICAGO, Oct. 15 Although It la
oarly in tho season to prodlct such an
outcome, and toams of othor institu
tions are not to be despised, the foot
ball contest between Chicago and Wis
consin looms up as tho crucial ono of
tho season. All lovers of sport In tho
'west rogrot tho breaking off of athletic
relations with Michigan, and this con
flict with Wisconsin is now regarded
as tho "big gamo" of tho yoar.
Coaches and playerB will bend all
tholr energies toward this gamo, with
tho preceding games as a necessary
help inporfoctlng tho plays and condi
tioning tho playors. From tho present
outlook tho prospects of both toams
scorn about on a par. There are
enough veterans on oach team to form
a nucleus, with tho 1907 freshmen and
substitutes to draw from. In Madison
tho rootors nro anxiously awaiting tho
outcome of examinations, as tho fato
of Wisconsin football success this sea
son depends in a largo measure on
how tho men got through. The con
ference rulos have cut football ma
terial to such a point that tho loss of
a single man can mar tho success of a
team for tho season.
Barry Inspires Wisconsin.
Thero aro still some good players

succeed in lifting their conditions Wis
consin will bo protty well fortified In

Instilled now life Into tho players and
thoy nro working hard under his di
rections. Not since 1901 has Wisconsin boon
able to win from Chicago. The Ma-
roonB wero boaton by nearly all their
western rivals that yoar and the Bad
gers took thorn . into camp 25 to 0.
Sinco that time Chicago has been suc
cessful in winning from Wisconsin. In
190G and 1907 the conference prohibit

this' : year tho game between the two
Institutions again was allowed.

une Conference Dying?
, DES MOINES, la., Oct. 15 Is tho
young brother of tho "big eight," tho
Missouri valley conference, dying?
That Is the question tho followers of
college athletics in tho trans-Mississippi
section are asking themselves.
The reason is that some of tho mem
bers of tho conforenco seem to care lit
tle for Its mandates. Ames, for in
stance, 1b playing freshman students
against high school toams of tho state.
This is in violation of a rule of tho
Missouri valley conforenco. Drake haB
used a player whoso eligibility is in
question under tho Missouri valley con
forenco rulos.
It Is felt among members of tho con
forenco that unless something. Is done
to make tho bonds of union strongor

Minnesota.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 15 For
two hours and a half yesterday, Coach
Williams kept drilling tho Gophers
In preparation for tho gamo with No
braska on Saturday. Ono of Dr.
Williams' assistants saw the Cornhus
kers play last Saturday and ho has
thrown a scaro Into tho Gophers'
camp by the report of Nebraska'
strength. Tho scrubs had tho ball for
tho most part today and at times tore
up tho first team for long gains. Thoy
had little success In skirting the onds,
however. Minnesota is looking for a
hard contest on Saturday and consid
erable apprehension Is felt ns to tho
outcome of this gamo. Tho hotting
fraternity is calling for ovon money.
Iowa.
IOWA CITY, Iowa, Oct. 15 Arrange
ments have been completed for char
tering a apodal car for the Iowa team
on Friday and at 3:30 o'clock the
Hawkeye squad, headed by the mascot,
"Burch," the cub boar, will leave for
Columbia. Thoy will arrive at noon
at Columbia just In tlmo to eat a
light lunch and dress for tho game.
The optimistic outlook the first of
tho week haB been speedily shattered,
first by an epidemic of minor Injuries
to the beBt playors on tho team and
Becond by tho report which Freshmen
Coach Helnzman brought back from

Michigan.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 15
Clouds darkened In the Michigan camp
today, when it was learned that Ed
munds, who has looked good at full,
would be unable to return to college.
In Its present crippled condition this
loss 1b a sevoro blow to the team.
It looks now as if Yost is going to
have a hard tlmo to find eleven men
to lino up against Notro Dame. It Is
not certain that Schulz, Davison, or
Crumpacker will be able to get In Sat
urday, and WatkliiB' hurt 1b still keep
ing him from the gamo. Duo to lack
of material, It was a sorry figure tho
varsity cut In the game with the re
serves this afternoon.
Harvard.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 15 The
Harvard practice yesterday was de
voted almost wholly to strengthening
tho defoiiBo. The second team was
given the ball and allowed to retain
it all the afternoon, being sent against
tho varsity repeatedly to try out the
first string men on tho defense. Not
once did tho second eleven succeed In
gaining its distance by either rushing
or on the forward pass.
A departure from tho traditional
routine footbull practice early In tho
afternoon was a scrimmage Instead of
waiting until the most of the men
wore tired out by tho other practice.
There waB plenty of snap and go to
this scrimmage though it was very
brief. Graydon waB shifted from tho
back field to right end, and Coach
Campbell devoted most of his atten
tion to Graydon all the afternoon. Cut
ler was at quarter on the varsity
again.
Yale.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 15 To
add to tho trouble In tho Yale team it
was found today that Carroli Coonoy,
the 259 pound guard, had Injured his
shoulder yesterday In practice, and
fear is felt that ho will bo unable to

was unable to play today as was Half

teams which Chicago has met and de
feated -this season, made ground
through tho Chicago line, but tho- at
tacks were no't enough concentrated
to gain ground consistently. It is
known that Wisconsin has a strong at

While the Chicago-Wisconsin game
appears to bo the crulclal contest, tho
Maroons havo yet to win from Illinois,
and Minnesota. It is scarcely likely
that Illinois will win, but the Gophers
are liable to upset the dope. All the
