Several interesting football games are carded far the big colleges today, although most of them have no bearing on the championship, as it was thought they would when the schedule makers drew up their schedule last winter. The UlinoiaGhicago clash at Uibana will have no beating on the outcome of the conference race. Wisconsin meets Minnesota at Minneapolis and it was thought by the schedule makers when they selected this date that this game would settle the championship but both teams have met with a reverse. Purdue meets Northwestern and the latter must win to stay in the race with Ohio state, who has not yet lost. Ohio meets Case and it is thought will be but little trouble. I nthe east Yale meets Princeton in what is expected to be the hardest game in the east. Brown collides with Harvard and the latter is taking this game lightly, notwithstanding the fact that Brown has not been defeated. Try a Clasaflod Ad in The Republican.
