TitE FOOTBALL SITUATION.
In East and West-Michigan Well
Satisfied With Saturday's Results
-Light Practice Last Night-All
Eyes Now On Chicago.
Both in East and West, the scores
of Saturday's games showed how

scores. Michigan and Minnesota,
rival claimants for Western champion.
ship honors, were the only teams
picked for winners who proved worthy
of the confidence of their supporters
The fast football played by Coach
Yost's men brands them as winners
on Thanksgiving Day, and gives'Mich-
igan a firmer hold on the champion-
ship. Wisconsin is out of the race,
but in view of the Badger's strong
fight on Saturday, surprises may be
looked for when Minnesota goes up
against Curtis' pupils. The Gophers
had the expected easy time with Ilhn-
ois, winning in a walk, by a score of
32 ,to 0. Schacht, the burly tackle,
was the star, and never failed to
make his gain.
Chicago's hard luck undoubtedly
lost Saturday's game to West Point.
With an even break, Stagg's men
would have won 6 to 5. The game,
notwithstanding the Westerners' de-
feat, has had a salutary effect upon
football relations between the East
and the West. Stagg's men played a
remarkable game in many respects,
and the strength of the Maroon of-
tense surprised the Eastern followers
of the sport. Kansas lost to Neras
ka by a score of 6 to 0, but clearly
played the better game, and Jack Mc
Lean's Missourians were defeated by
Iowa 16 to 0. Nortwestern, confident

earned victories and tie with Chicago,
could not gain consecutively against
Notre lame's defense , and Captain
Salmon's players had the satisfactioni
of seeing the contest end with a 0 to
0 score.
Princeton established her claim to
the championship of the East by her
great victory over Yale. Princeton
improved as Yale weakened, and the
individual performance of the Tiger
captain, Dewitt, in kicking a goal
from placement, gave the Nassau men
the game by a score of I1 to 6. For
the second time this year Harvard
suffered a mortifyingdefeat, this time
at the hands of little Dartmouth,
whose giant forwards smashed
through the Crimson line at will. The
final score was 11 to 0. Columbia de-
feated Cornell on the Ithacan field
by 1,7 to 12, and Carlisle filled the cup
of Pennsylvania's sorrow to overflow-
ing by scoring 16 points against

Western eleven. Chicago papers say
that four Michigan players may make
the team. Heston, Redden, and Mad.
dock are regarded as certainties, and
Curtis has a chance to go in as the
other tackle. The preponderance of
opinion, however, points to the selec-
tion of the giant, Shacht, of Minne-
sota, for Maddock's running-mate.
Michigan men will be slow to admit
that Gregory has his superior in the
West, and all the other Michigan men
are considered as having strong
claims.
The practice last night was natur-
aly rather light, and as usual, after
a big game, all scrimmage work was
religiously avoided. The damp weath-
er also shortened the work, and the
men were allowed to return to the
gymnasium early. All Ann Arbor is
resounding with the praises of Train-
er Keene Fitzpatrick for the perfect
condition of every man on his team,
and more than ever before are Michi-
gan men convinced that in addition
to possessing the greatest coach in
the country they also possess the
greatest trainer.
THANKSGIVING GAMES.
There is a strong movement in the
East toward the abolishment of
Thanksgiving football games. Most
students are'desirous of spending this
mid-term vacation at their homes.
