The pig Five has beaten the Whiting crew twice thii season by reat scores; Fast t"".iicao ha.- also lost tt the Big Five but by a close margin. It now remains for the Colonials to even up for the neighborhood teams, the Hammond quintet :s regarded by all who know t'1 be the le.-t club that has represented this nan's town in many years. The lot j.;s have r.ot lost a game th:3 season, and if the Eigr Five turns the trick it will bo for the first

time that defeat wUi ht tasted ay Irving Chav ken's performers. This will make the f.rst time that the two clubs will meet, and if the Colonials can rout tho visitors no matter what the score may be, the Hammond five will have a chance of a life time in a return game which Manager Fmn promised at the famous Defter Park pavilion. Last Sunday at th Dexter pavilion the greatest crowd that has ever watched two non-conference tean.s :.n action saw the "Dig Five defeat the famous Harvard. Illinois, Marvels by a close score. The Harvard team was composed entirely of former University of Chicago p'.syerj and In beating tlie down-state playera the Bi? Five added another notch to their long list.
