Before an audience which Includes re-ent- Explained. i 91-00- t Tha Cambridge rooters began to early and wared their crimson banners defiantly in th faces of the blue hosts. The tame and chastened Harvard of the last few years, certain of nothing but defeat, has been succeeded by a chesty and arrogant Harvard, exultantly hopeful of victory. Th game this afternoon present a greater element of doubt than has been known In recent years. Tale Is admitted not up to its customary standard, and Harvard la stronger than It has been In several years. The Cambridge men are well supplied with cash and are manifesting a desire to wager every cent of it oa the success of the crimson eleven. The atreets of this old city presented an animated acene thle morning. Al tha houses la the city floated their blue banners from th outer walls. All New Haven waa on the streets as well aa a large part of New York and Boston and neighboring cities. Tha thoroughfares were alive with fast and merciless automobiles, ft was a much as a man's Ilfs was worth to cross a street without a careful survey of the situation. At noo the flagged end bannered host began to move. It swept down streets like a alow the An the gates and resistless glacier. expanded like an open fan, sweeping this way and that up the wide aisles and along th steep rows of seats.

Football critics In nil sections of the country have been making prediction! about tha contest between th teams of the University of Wisconsin and the University of Chicago. Scores of wsatern enthusiasts pick Wisconsin aa tha winner, though a majority of tho best informed observers state that Stage's Chicago Maroona are tho best eleven fa the west or middle west Th views of tho Wisconsin supporters art well expressed In the following statement made to the writer by on of tho conches of tha Badger team. Ha said: To begin, Wisconsin has already won from Lawrence, Indiana, Mar The quetta college and Minnesota. Maroons and Badgers will battle at Camp Randan, Madison, Wls, for the western championship on tha 21st of November. Think what that means! It wUl he th lint time that. Wisconsin tea actually been In the race since 1902. True, during the yean of 1903. 1904 and 1905 the Badgen wen for the honors, but the championship always narrowed down to two other teams. Blues 1905, when the reform wave struck ua, wa have been fighting along, never quitting, but never near th lead. Now the reform movement has triumphed and Wisconsin can show th rest of the west that It la possible to have a whirlwind team of purely amateur athletes. Whether we win or lose on the 21st of November, we will at least have the satisfaction of knowing we have been th runners up.' Regarding those who think that tho Marquette game demonstrated that wa have a poor team, I would Ilka to state that the Wisconsin Badgers were away off coin then find that Marquette probably tea one. of the strongest lines In the went and a fast back field, that we were out weighed In the line, that she held Illinois 6 to 6 and that Chicago only defeated Illinois by n score of 11 to d Tho Marquette team would make any university team In tha west hustle to win. For further information, Wisconsin tea not ns yet shown any of her Intricate forward passes. Thera have teen fifty plays practiced at Camp Randall which hare not been used in th games. Borne of them we win spring against Chicago. The Minnesota team tea seven vet erans of at least one season's experience In - college football, two playen who substituted last year and two men who played four yean on a championship high school eleven. With snch n team and on past per forma uces we can't see where Wisconsin will be far behind on the great day.
