SIAGG IGNORES COMING BATTLE AGAINST PURPLE Maroons Go Ahead With Practice for Minnesota Struggle.

ProfeMor A. Alonzo Stagg suffered lapse of memory yesterday at Marshall field for the first time this season. He forgot that the Maroon football team had a grame scheduled with Northwest

ern next Saturday at Evanston, and devoted three solid hours to preparing: his gridiron hopes for the Minnesota battle of November 15 at Minnesota. The director's slip was on the books, for he forgot on purpose. He announced that he would continue to overlook the Methodists until he felt more certain of Chicago's ability to meet Minnesota on even terms. His course proved wise, for the Maroon freshmen showed up the second string varsity practice in a stiff scrimmage drill, beating the eligibles. 19 to 7. The fact that the entire Northwestern camp saw the Chicago-Illinois game last Saturday at Marshall Feld Is expected at the Midway to make the coming battle fairly Interesting. The Evanstonlans took home a bundle of notes on the Maroon sts'le of play, and may get some benefit from their diagrams. Coach Stagg himself admits this feature of the situation, and says he would not be surprised to see the home team score next Saturday.

HARVARD TO MEET PRINCETON NEXT

Crimson Rules Favorite Over Tigers in Game on Saturday.

With games of only minor importance scheduled in the west for Saturday, the scene of football Interest will stil ft to Princeton, N. J., where the sons of Old Nassau will meet Harvard In the first struggle which will have any bearing on the eastern championship. Chicago, the only undefeated eleven in the western conference, will meet Northwestern, and Minnesota, whose victory over Wisconsin last Saturday entitles the Gophers to an equal claim to the "big nine" title with the Maroons, has no game scheduled. The other conference teams, with the exception of Illinois, have frames listed, but the results will have a bearing only

j on the rating of the different aggregaj tions at the close of the season. Michigan and Cornell will clash at ! Ithaca in one of the important lntersectional battles, and the result will be watched with interest, because the Ithacans met defeat last Saturday by Harvard, 23 to 6. The outcome will furnish an idea of the relative strength of Michigan and Harvard by the comj paratlve score method.

Although Harvard appears to be much stronger In all departments of the game than Princeton, an interesting an dclose struggle is anticipated by those who have followed the fortunes of both elevens this year. The Crimson warriors have played consistent football all season, and all games have been won by decisive margins. There has not been a question as to the superiority of the Cambridge eleven over all teams played this year, and In each succeeding struggle Harvard has shown marked Improvement.

IT'S OP TO RITCHIE TO PICU WEIGHT Naughton Says He Can Defend Title at New Notch if He Wishes.

San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 5. Willie Ritchie has "taken up" golf. He said the other day that one reason why golf appealed to him was that he did not have to make weight for It. This seems like a flippant remark, but the chances are that Ritchie was never more serious in his life than when he made it. Making weight Is Ritchie's bugaboo. He is nominally the champion of the world at 133 pounds, but while he hates to admit It, he could no more train to that notch at present

than he cotd flv. Recently Ritchie usd the argument that Jack McAuliffe. Frank Erne and others had figured In lightweight championships that called for bigger weight than 133 pounds. To the best of the writer's belief Ritchie has stated the case correctly, but that does not alter the fact that "13 ringside" has been looked upon aa the standard weight for lightweights for over a quarter of a century. What has given the notch mentioned a hard and fast look during recent years was that Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast, the two champions who preceded Ritchie, always named and recognized this notch as the deadline of the lightweight poundage.

SPORTING NOTES. ' New Orleans, La., Nov. 6. Joe Wagner, the New York bantam, was too

strong for "Kid" Herman of New Orleans and had a shade the better of' their ten round no decision contest last! night at the Orleans A. C. Wagner had! found pounds on Herman in weight. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 5. Joe Harang of New Orleans gained an eight round decision over Gene Delmont, local)

featherweight, Monday night. Harang

sent Delmont to the floor with a left

to the jaw in the first round and floored him again in the sixth with a right. Vancouver, B. C, Nov. 5. Edward Ray and Harry Vardon, the British golfers, easily defeated Duthie and Blinke, Vancouver professionals, In a thirty-six hole match yesterday, 10 and 9. Vardon set a new record for a British Columbia course when he made the morning round In 6S. A new wrestling star appeared Monday night when Ed Lewis heaved Paul Martinson on his shoulders twice in the windup of the opening show of the season held by the Globe Athletic club

at the Globe theater In Chicago. It took Lewis 56:40 to pin the local trial horse to the mat for the first fall. He accomplished the second fall In 26:10. Lansing, Mich., Nov. 5. Coach Macklin of the Michigan Agricultural col

lege football team said yesterday there would be.no postseason game between 'Notre Dame and M. A. C. this year. ! Efforts had been made to arrange a ; meeting between the two elevens for ! Thanksgiving day, the contest, to be 'staged in Detroit or Chicago. Macklln ! opposed postseason games because they j necessitate keeping the team In traini ing too long after the close of the

regular season. New York, No. 6. Melbourne Inman, champion of English billiards, and William P. Hoppe, world's champion at balk line billiards, have signed an agreement to play three matches, each

! of one week's duration. The games twill be staged In New York, Chicago, 'and a Canadian city. The first will be ; In New York the latter part of Septem'ber, 1914, the second about a month

later, and the third In January, 1915. GREER LOST TO PURPLE TEAM Another misfortune visited the Northwestern university football squad yesterday, when it was found that Greer, who has been playing quarter and half, will be out of the game for the seKn. Greer was taken sick on Sunday and was hurried to St. Luke's hospital, Chi

cago, where it was said that he was

suffering from appendicitis and that an operation was necessary. It was found, however, that he was suffering from hernia. Whiting, half back, also will be out for the season, as the condition of his knee is more serious than had been thought. Gruhn will not be able to play against the Maroons. The Purple players were given a blackboard talk last night by Coach Grady, In which he explained the Maroon plays and how to meet them. The varsity carried the ball against the freshmen in a scrimmage practice during the afternoon. This was followed by a long signal drill in Patten gym nasium.

GOPHERS POINT FOR MAROONS Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 5. Preparations for the conference champion

ship game with Chicago started in earnest yesterday at the Gopher gridiron camp. The Minnesota aggregation was pitted against the reserves. The latter had previously been given an assortment of plays used on Saturday by Chicago. By their application the scrubs were able to score two touchdowns on the Gophers much to the chagrin of the coach. DT. Williams spent his energies drilling his men In defense for the Stagg formations, and toward the close of scrimmage the varsity tightened up and stopped the attack of the Maroon Impersonators. Tollefson was back - In the lineup completely recovered from his injury on Saturday. Ostrom, the big guard, is limping around on a lame ankle. Capt. Aldsworth is reported as improving.
