Madison. Wis., Nov. 14. Tho Min
nesota football oleven won thd cham
pionship of the western football con
ference Saturday afternoon by over
whelming Wisconsin with nn ava
lanche of touchdowns and winning 34
to fl.
Tho Badger toam was coriiplotely
outclassed, though they showed u flash
of strength in tho flrBt half. Toward
the cIobo of the game, however, Wis
consin's defence crumbled and the
speedy Gopher backs scored almoBt at
will.
If tho Iohh of Captain Johnny Mc
Govern and Halfback JohnBon, both
of whom nro out of the gamo on ac
count of injuries, has weakened the
Gopher elov.cn,' it was not notlcoablo.
Thoy blocked tho WiBconBln trick
plays with groat caro and apparently
wore nblo to penetrnto the Badger line
at their pleasure.
Minnesota was tho first to score,
Stevens being pushed over for a touch
down six minutes after tho Initial
kick-off. Farnum missed goal.
Tho Badgers capio right back, Moll
unllmberlng a Borles of forward passes'
a few minutes later which resulted
In pushing Fucik ovor tho line for a
touchdown for Wisconsin. Moll kicked
goal.
Neither could Bcore from that time
until a few minutes before the end of
tho half, when a triple pass put Min
nesota In position to push Pickering
ovor. The holf ended a few minutes
later.
In tho interval between halves tho
Gophers evidently had boon talked to,
for thoy attacked with groat fury as
soon ns the second half bogan. Wis
consin tried by kicking to keep tho
ball out of Ub territory, but failed and
Pickoring was piiBhod over for an
other touchdown. Farnum failed at
goal.
Minnesota then began to slaughter
tho Badgers, smashing tho WiBconsin
lino for thfe long gains. Finally
Schaln Intercepted a forward pass and
two minutes late? Stevens planted the
ball between the goal posts.
Two Great Runs.
Wisconsin then wont completely to
pieces. With tho ball on Minnesota's
45-yard lino, Pickoring tossed it to
Rosonwald, who in an instant had
skirted tho end and was dashing down
tho field for the Badger goal.
Tho whole Badgor team started in
pursuit, but tho fleet half back shook
off all tacklers and scored a touch
down after a 75-yard run. A fow mo
mouts after tho noxt kick-off, Picker
ing duplicated this feat, running
eighty yards with the whole Badger
team in pursuit.
Farnum kicked goal on both or I
theBo touchdowns, und a few moments
later tho rtfforeo's whistle ended tho
agony. Tho line-up:

BY WALTER H. ECKERSALL.
Niagara Falls, N. Y., Nov. 15. With
tho playing of Saturday's football
games tho championship of the "Big
Eight" was settled, while in the east
tho struggle narrowed down to two
contenders.
Minnesota by Its decisive victory
over Wisconsin, 34 to G, is the undis
puted champion of the-western con
ference colloges. The GopherB have
yet to defeat Michigan before they
can claim tho western championship,
and if they aro successful In this, and
Notre Darpe wins Its remaining games,
tho Catholics are entitled to consid
eration. In the eaBt tho old and bitter rivals,
Yale and Harvard, will clash for pre
mier honors next Saturday. Yale de
feated its worthy foe, Princeton, and
Harvard disposed of the Btrong Dartr
mouth olovon. The Blues and Crim
son teams have defeated all their op
ponents decisively this year, and the
battle should bo ono of the hArdest
and florcoBt fought of any In recent
years.
Superiority of West Shown.
In tho three intersectlonal contests
played this year tho west has demon
strated its superiority ovor tho eaBt.
Michigan defeated Syracuse and
Pennsylvania, .while Chicago gave Cor
nell an awful scare, holding tho Ith
ncans to a G to G score.
Although the Maroons cannot return
to Chicago with a Cornell scalp, thoy
will arrlvo thoro this morhlng with
honor and glory enough for any foot
ball team. Seldom has a team left
the enemy's vamp bearing the respect
and admiration of the home eleven
and Rb followers. Last night In Ith
aca nothing but praiBe was heard for
Capt. Pago and his warriors.
Even- the Cornell players and
coaches woro Impressed with the in
domitable lighting Bplrlt which Chi
cago showed when It was hard pressed
lnsldo lta five-yard lino four or fivo
times. Not a sign of quit or let up was
dlscernable at any time. Tho Chi
cago players put all tho physical
power they possessed In tho struggle,
and this alono saved them from de
feat. Michigan's defeat of. Pennsylvania'
was a. most acceptable piece of news
to Cornell and Chicago. Tho Quakers
are tho Ithacans' big rivals and their
defeat has led tho people In Ithaca to
bellovo this is Cornell's year. For tho
first tlmo since 1907 Mlohlgan has bug-
coedod In beating Penn. Tho Wolver
ines played good football and took ad
vantage of overy slip tho Quakers
mado. Tho unerring accuracy with
which Michigan followed tho ball and
its ability to work forward passes buj
cesafully proved tho undoing of Penn
sylvania. Michigan Meets Gophers Next.
Michigan meota Mlnneaota at Min
neapolis Saturday, and UiIb should be
ono of tho beet games of tho western
football season. The tlo of 1903 still
HngorB in tho memory of those who'
saw that struggle, and this game will
go a long way in deciding tho great
struggle.
This will bo tho last week of west
ern football for 1909, and tho games
Saturday will bo the climax of the best
season experienced by weBtorn foot
ball teams Blnco the new rules were
adopted in 1906.

Gaining Importance.
There Is no questioning the impor
tance that missionary work is attain
ing. Year after year the numbor of
AmoricanB who take It up is Increas
ing, and today It 1b a subject of Inter
est all over the country. Of the work
President Taft says:
"Until I went to tho Oriont, until
thoro was thrown on me responsibili
ties with reference to tho extension of
civilization in these far distant lands,
I did not realize tho Immense Impor
tance of foreign- missions. The truth
is wo have got to wake up in this
country. Wo aro not all thoro is in
tho world."
STUDENTS LAZY,
HOOKWORM THE CAUSE
8TRANG8 PARA8ITE AFFLICT8
THE PUPIL8 OF GEORGIA.
MAKES FOOTBALL TEAM DROWSY
Famous University Gridiron Eleven,
Counted Upon for the Southern
Championship, Out of
the Running.
Atlanta, Ga. (Special.) Tho preva
lence of the hookworm, which certain
scientists have ascribed as tho cause
of laziness among tho students of tho
Unlvorslty of Georgia, iB causinc the
faculty alarm and a campaign has been
determined upon to eradicate the para
site. Dr. J. C. Bloomfield, president of
the city board of health, has been
examining the students at tho re
quest of the faculty, and ho roports
that at least 30 per cent aro suffering
from tho hookworm. Many oxamlned,
Dr. Bloomfield states, aro members of
wealthy families, which, in his opin
ion, discredits tho belief that tho dis
ease Is provalent only among tho
poorer classes.
Some afflicted with tho hookworm
are mombers of tho university foot
ball team, and tho physicians say that
the hookworm Is undoubtedly respons
ible for the poor showing tho team Is
making, as one effeot of the disease
is extreme physical sluggishness.
Since Dr. Bloomflold's report the
faculty has been looking Into tho class
standing of those nfflicted and in ovory
case it is lower, than those free from
iho mischievous work.
A Sudden Epidemic.
Tho raid of tho hookworm upon
Georgia students was sudden but ef
fective. Loss than four weeks ago,
when the fall term opened, every
thing promised a brilliant year for tho
university. Tho football men had
been at work for several days and tho
prospects for a championship team
were bright. The students ' settled
down to work with unusual quickness,
and at the close of tho first week the
faculty council was turned into an in
formal Jollification mooting ovor tho
way in which the year had opened.
But It was not for long. A week
later and the professors were wear
ing anxious frowns upon classic
browB and troublod oyes peered' out
upon a changed university community.
For laziness was rampant everywhere.
Tho football team, which had begun
the year with. such. glorious prospects.
now failed absolutely to respond to
the domandB of tho coaches. The stu
dents in the clasB rooms went to sleep
In tho midst of tho most interesting
lectures In tho curriculum. In tho li
brary drowsiness was dlacornablo ev
erywhere. Sleepiness ruled tho cam
pus with a firm hand.
Puzzled the Doctors.
At length tho faculty came to the
conclusion that some strange epidemic
must be responsible for tho Btato of
affairs. The president of the univer
sity then summoned Into consultation
sevornl of the leading physicians of
Atlanta. These examined tho students,
ono by ono, and acknowledged that a
strange clrcumstanco of universal lazi
ness had fallen upon tho unfortunate
denizens of, Georgia university. But
they could not diagnose tho complaint
nor could thoy remedy It.
Tho -faculty was in despair. What
could thoy do? LazInoBB was every
where. No work was being dope. Tho
Tair name of the 8Chool and oven of
tho state was becoming smirched with
the strange lack of ambition among
Rb leading young citizens.
Finally Dr. Bloomfield was called.
As city physician ho had becohio ac
quainted with all forms of contagious
diseases and the case was put up to
him. For three days tho good doctor
examined studont after student. Ho
studied their pulse,, their temperature,
their mental and physical condition.
And at last ho made Ills report. The
students wore suffering from the hook
worm, a dread parasite which caused
oytremo lasBitudo among all Its vic
tims. Could It be cured? Well, you just
watph Dr. Bloomfield .when ho begins
tho work under the direction of tho
faculty and at a princely stipend and
see tho result.
