MIDDLEVJEST
THEM
DECIDIG GAME TO BE PLAYED
AT MADISOX. (
3IInnesU and Wisconsin Sow Stand
Utulf ( Clash.
Can Wisconsin beat Minnesota anJ
become middle western champions?
That Is the question Wisconsin and
Minnesota football fans In the central
west and men out here In Oregon arts
asking each o:her after th.e great
showing made by Doc' Williams' elev
en against Chicago last Saturday.
To tell the truth, it look3 like the
Gophers. After an Indifferent show-i!
Ing in the early part of the season th ;
northerns have developed . into the ;
most formidable aggregation in th
west and it Is a pity that Michigan t
does not appear on the Gopher sched-J
uie this ran.
Chicago was conceded a chance, tho
best in fact that it has bad in two
years, but Stagg's muchly touted ma
chine received tlhe worst trouncing
since -tlw day that Minnesota first be
came a factor in western football cir
cles, winiams aggregation pieaeii:
ed an almost lrreslstable attack which
the famous Chicago defense could not
cope with and the consequent result
was that the Wldway warriors never
had a look In. , . '
Maroons Are Outclassed. .
Tfre post mortnms show" that ther?
was little of a comparison to be made
between the 'wo teams, Chicago was
woefully outciased and despt'ra a hard
fight succumbed to a better team.
Down at Wisconsin E4chard's ag
gregation took Iowa into camo by a
score of 12 to 0 and In addition suf
fered the loss of thi?Ir star halfback.
Pollock, the bftr crew man.
Wisconsin did not run tin the big
total against the Hawkeye1 iad that
Minnesota did, but tlhen It Is to be "ex
pected that Iowa nut up a much bet
ter game aoralnst Wisconsin after the
added experience gained In one con
ference game. The Badgers also suf
fered materially through penalties
and this also in a measure kept down
the score. ' '
The hope of fa Madison eleven Hps
In Its line. If the"W'Bconfi!n forwards
sre strone enoneh t cone with the
powerful line whVh Mlnpeota Is re
puted to have. Blchard's eleven stands
sn efjual sftow of downing -the north:

In the eft8t Princeton appears to
have all but won the championship of
that section. True, W'iBBt Point has
an equal claim to the title, having de
feated Yale, while Harvard fell before
the onmsbeg ot the sturdy orange and
black warriors. ;
. It was a lucky win for Prtilfceton.
but nevertheless It was a victory and
can not be deputed, although Harvard
made as good a showing, If not a bet
ter one, than Princeton.

pie Stirs Britishers.
Tbe report bun reached Etiplnud thai
America has already beiruu preprii
tlon for tbe mustering of nest years
team for Stockholm, and it has had
the effect of putting the Britons on
edj;e. Tbey have begun to naure on
tbe available material, and It is evi
dent thai ' tbey are depending some
what on Scnthind and Ireland to help
out In summing up about the candi
dates an' EnplNh expert wiys:
"The . Midlands have frequently
gained commendation for rbelr ear
oestness In developing nrhletlc. With
all their policy some mny uot ngree.
but few will deny thnt their prinriple
Is very sound. From that district now
comes the first definite move toward
gathering together ueit year's Olym
pic team. They have appointed a sub:
committee to confer wtth ' tde north
and south on the matter.' Add Ireland
and Scotland and you will have the
full quota necessary to deal wtth tbe
question of preparation. The sooner
a definite move Is made the better:
there are so many things to be done
before we can flatter ourselves I bat
we have n team In tbe making that
no time should be lost
"During the season now. past we
have discovered quite n host of new
men worthy of wearing the United
Kingdom rotors In next yenr'a games
at Stockholm. V
"We hnye on the sprinting side at
east a couple of brilliant men this
season who hitherto were not regard
ed as quite' first class men. They ure
D. McMillan and l. H. Jacobs. We
have some good qiinrter men coming
along. Corporal Usher, for instance,
hns beaten many of the crnctsu thl
year. The Brighton man. K. .1. Hen
ley. might le tnnde a real tiler af both
distances, while at tbe quarter K. E
Adams has shown well this year. The
Irishman J.. I wunlng.- must be decid
edly useful, while G. H. Gray of the
Sufford Harriers Is another good man
both at quarter and half, but to my
mind be should be asUed to specialize
for the quarter hurdles. A half milci
with a big turn of speed Is needed tor
tbi.t, and Gray, as. we know, can bur
die more than a little bit. The Cam
bridge flier, F. G. Black, again Is quite
fi great quarter man. and D. McMillan
can get the distance, bnt to my mind
be should be considered firstly for the
two sprints.
"'D. F. McNlool feaS beed bur best
knller this year and has gone on from
good to better, 8b it would be almost
unkind to suggest that he might not be
. four-twenty,;.' In fact. I believe be
might go near record In a favorable
race. He. however. Is an old hand, al
