CORNELL AT ITHACA. CAPTAIN M'OOVERN NOT TO "PLAY Minnesota Man, Injured In Chicago Game, Not Likely to Be Used Against Badgers Wisconsin ' Chances Good. BY WALTER H. ECKER8ALL. Chtanirn. Nov. 11. Todny buw the llnlHh of hard pructlco for tho foot ball teams which will engage In con tests on Saturday that will go a long way toward deciding tho champion ship in both Boctloue. Chicago, wfhlch will glvo battlo to Cornell, loft for tho oast today. Tho Michigan olevon, which Is to play Penn, already has started for tho en emy's country. Both those western teams have completed their training for these Intoraectlonal battlos except ing the light signal drills, which will lu held In their opponents' territory tomorrow. Although tho toams which will meet In these contests cannot bo consid ered leprosontatlvo elevens of tholr sections, there Is considerable Inter est In tho results. Pennsylvania Is live only team of tho four that has not been defeated, but It has been hold to a tlo score by Lafayette, a team which has been beaten In t'ho east. Tho Maroons and Wolverines havo been defeated by Minnesota and Notre Dnmo, two of the strongest teams in tho west, while Cornell has tasted de reut at tho hands of Williams. Teams Seem Evenly Matched. When tho four elevens are consld 01 ed and tholr strength analyzed, none of thorn seems to have much of an advantage over another. The only handicap tho westorn aggregations will have to overcome is that of play ing on strange grounds. As this does not make much matorlal difference theso contests are sure to be fought keenly. The Maroons will arrive at Ithaca Homo time tomorrow. Coach Stagg will send tho team through a light workout in tho afternoon on somo se cluded lot, and this will end the prep aration for the contest which Stagg and the members of the team want to win. With tho exception of ICasBulker, who has not recovered entirely from tho bumping ho got In the Minnesota game, tho team is in superb condition and ready to put up a great fight. (Uipt. Pago's ankle 1b well and tho lit tle leader can bo relied on to play his usual high clasB game. Tho other cripples have come along in good shape, and the team 1b more fit for this game than for any It has played this year. Chicago Forced to Change Style. Chicago will bo forced to play en tlroly different football' In this strug gle than it has played this season. The strong lino of the Ithacans has changed Sbagg's plan of attack com pletely, for tho Maroons will have to , nlopend largely on end runs and tho frequent use of tho forward paBa and onsldo kick for most of their gains. Staggs scout witnessed the Cornell Harvard contest last Saturday, and his report of tho strength of tho C'ornoll forwards has forced Stagg to glvo up dfy" ,hopo . of gaining much ground through the .line.- Chicago's play In tho Northwostern game last Saturday. In which tho players rnn from punt formations and mado good gains, Is a sample- of tho stylo of play which will bo used In tho Cornell game. Tho ends alBO will be called on fre quently to run with the oval from their position. It 1b this -sort of play ing that is oxpectod to boat Cornell and If these plays fall to gain Chi cago has Blim chnnco of a victory. The practlco at tho Midway this week has been confined mostly to learning thlfc kind of plays and perfecting tho In terference. Crawley, with his speed, and Page are tho men relied on most ly to advance tho ball on the end rnnB. . Cornell Defense Like Gophers.' Cornell will use tho sumo sort of defense as Minnesota did. The half hacks will lie back about ten ,or fif teen yards with Instructions to stay there and not run up to reinforce the line. In these positions the backs can watch for forward passes and recover onslile kicks. This will make It ex tremely had for Chicago to gain much ground unless those bucks can be dravjjn up closer to tho lino by means of old stylo football. McGovern Not to Play. Minnesota and Wisconsin, the tc.ims which struggle on Saturday for the western conference title, have al iVDSt finished their preparation. Both are on edge for the finy and a great battle Is anticipated. Reports from .Minneapolis have It that Capt. Mo AVERY TO TESTIFY IN BLEACHED FLOOR CASE CHANCELLOR TO TAKE 8TAND A8 EXPERT WITNE88. RKENTS HAVE DECIDED TO SEND HIM Great Importance of Case to Big Mill ing Interests of State Is Cause of Board's Action. Govern will not play. In this event Wisconsin will have a mighty good chance to win, as tthls player Is half of the Gopher team and his loss will be felt keenly. Michigan Team Goes East. Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 11. Nine teen players and tho usual retlmio of coaches and trainers, making up the Michigan football squad, left last night for Philadelphia for the annual game with Pennsylvania. The team before leaving was given tho greatest sendoff accorded a Michigan eleven In four years, the entire student body assem bling at tlie station. Enthusiasm was Increases when Coach Yost expressed tho opinion that Michigan will win. "If Capt. Allerdice can play in the game until the end, I am confident of the outcome." said the coach. "Even without him we havo the best -chance we ever have had against Pennsylvania." Tho final workout on Perry field consisted of signal work, the varsity rehearsing tho plays that have been prepared for Penn. There 1b still some fear that Capt, Allerdice will bo un able to last the game through, al though It. is certain ho will start. With the exception of Conklln, at end. and Edmunds, tho right guard, the lineup will be the same as tho one that oponcd against Notre Dame. Tho following players woro taken: Oapt. Allerdlco, Wasmund, Clark, Magldsohn, Watklns, Benbrook, Ed munds, Wells, Casey, Conklln, Miller, Pattenglll, Preoney, Greene, Lawton, Itanney, Smith, Kaynor and Rogers. Yale has a forestry club of eighty members. Cornell had six now coaches at work last week. football Representing tho defendant millers of Nebraska In tho capacity of ,an ox pert witness, Chancellor Samuel Avery will next week testify In tho famous "bleached flour" case In Des Moines: Chancellor Avery has an exhaustive knowledge of the effect of bleaching upon tho food quality of Hour and he is called on the stand In view of this fact. Tho Des Moines case Is that arising from tho decision of Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture. In which ho declared his belief that tho bleaching of flour injured its char acter as feed to suclj. an- extent as to make It unfit for uso under tho na tional pure food legislation. Accord ingly ho ordered the stoppage of n shipment of Nebraska flour In the state of Iowa, tho flour having been bleached after his decision. Avery an Expert. Since the seizuro of the flour both parties to the case havo agreed to make the Des Moines trial a test trial, the decision there made to be binding in all other, similar cases. In viow of this fact both tho government and tho millers have been arranging for ex port testimony. While at tho state farm in his early days as a university Instructor, Dr. Avery investigated the bleached flour situation and determined Unit . the bleaching did not injure tho flour. He was tho first" man in America to con duct a scientific investigation of tho question. When the Des Moines cose was announced for trial next week Ne braska millers appealed to tho chan cellor to act as a witness. He did not consider It best for him to ap pear In that capacity individually, and accordingly laid the matter before tho board of regents' yesterday. In view of the great importance of the case to tho millers of the state, the regents ordered that the chancel lor testify, he not to accept witness fees, however, but his expenses to bo paid by tho state. Of Great Importance. The flour case is of the greatest Importance to the state. At present tho milling of winter wheat is one of tho big industries of Nebraska, employ ing many people' and much capital. In cobo the decision of Secretary Wilson Is upheld practically the whole Indus try will be ruined, for the unbleached Nebraska flour cannot stand tho com petition of certain other brands whloh are not so greatly affected by tho process. It was because of this rec ognized Importance of the pending case to a great industry of the stato that the regents deplded to send Chan cellor Avery to attend the trial.
