" If the boy was smart, I could understand," saidfarmer Bixby. "But he ain't smart. He's all butstoopid. And why should a stoopid boy want to goto college?Mrs. Bixby had already heard that remark a goodmany times; she was afraid she would hear it a goodmany times again before she gained her point. Mrs.Bixby rarely set her mind on anything, but now shewas determined that her son Jim should go to college.So she said, for the twentieth time:" Not stoopid, Pa, he ain't. Jest slow, which hecan't help. It takes him a long time to learn hislessons; but he does learn 'em, even if he don't everhave a very high place in class. Once he gets athing he remembers it, too. They had some ques­tions in school last week, and Jim answered best ofall. The head teacher, Mr. Blake, told me so. Jim'dnever say a word himself. Yes, he's slow, but sure.""I need him 'round the farm," grumbled Mr.Bixby. "It's been more'n I wanted to do to let himgo even so far as he has in school. I never countedon sending him' to college. I can't spare his workand the _mo�ey i.t' d take to se_11.Q_him.1_ b_oth��_ )- -' _Mrs. ixoy's usually submissive brown eyes flashed."Pa, I ain't ever spoke so before," she said,sharply; "but I shall say something now. Youcould afford to send him to college if you wanted.That's your one fault-closeness. For the rest, thereain't a better man 'n you anywhere. Don't youthink it shows there is good stuff in our Jim when hewalks four miles in to school every day, and fourmiles home, and does chores for you as well? Mebbehe'd have a higher place in class if he had more timeto spend on his lessons, 'stead of using it up workingaround the farm. There's Raymond, he hasn't asgood land as you, but his boy has no work to do afterschool. Now, I've done my duty by you for years,given you all the butter 'n egg money, and I ask as akind of proper pay to me that Jim can go to college."Mr. Bixby looked quite overwhelmed when thevigorous speech closed."Well, Ma," he remarked, "I guess I ought toknow what's best for my son; however, seeing youare so set on itvI will say this: If Jim gets the historyprize this March, why, I'll let him go to college forone year, anyhow. If he gets it, I'll know he has alittle in his head worth CUltivating. If he don't getit, he can't go to college."Mrs. Bixby'S face cleared up a little. , 'Jim calculated to try for that prize," she said;"only his hopes of winning it ain't any too high.Lee Raymond istrying, and he's pretty smart."Mr. Bixby frowned." It'd please Raymond mighty well if his boy gotin ahead of Jim. Jim better get that prize, Ma. Icouldn't stand to have Raymond's boy beat him."Mr. Bixby and Mr. Raymond were enemies. Theyhad quarreled some three years before over an elec­tion matter, and Jim and Lee, dear friends, had beenforbidden to speak to each other. At first they hadgrieved, then grown rather indifferent. Now Leewas as bitter in feeling toward Jim as Mr. Raymondwas toward Jim's father." Well, well, guess mebbe Jim'll get it," said Mrs.Bixby, pacifically. "At least he'll try mighty hard."The prize was given by an old gentleman of thevillage to the boy who answered best twenty-fourquestions on ancient history. The questions weresure to be difficult, for the gentleman selected themhimself, and was apt to choose as subjects rather un­important details=-those which a boy, in studying,would 'be likely to skip for something more important.So a g�d deal of, work ",ha..d to_.JJe done.to earn that- thirty-doiiar prize. -The examination was held thelast day of the winter term, under the supervisionof the. prize-giver himself. The competitors wereobliged to present themselves on the morning of thefateful day at nine precisely. Anyone coming afterthat hour was refused admittance, and lost his chanceof winning the thirty dollars, for that year at least.Mrs. Bixby told Jim his father's decision. Theboy was splitting wood, and he continued his work,only stopping to draw a long breath as she concludedwith the words:"So you work and get the prize, sonny, It's thebest I can do for you.""Well, Ma," said the sturdy Jim, "I'll do mybest; and I can't do any better than I can do, can I?'I know I'm slow, and I guess Pa don't regret it anymore than I do. Lee is working hard for that .prize.He's going to college, anyhow; but I heard him say­ing he'd like that money to splurge on when he gets.there. His Ma is going to take him to the city andrig him up in new clothes before he starts."" If you go, I'm afraid you'll have to do on whatyou got now, or little more," sighe Mrs. Bixby." Of course, a boy of sixteen don't want much; butanyhow, your Pa, you know, is ,,'-" I don't, care about clothes, if I only get there,"interrupted Jim, parting a tough stick of wood .•o94 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL v."The books are what I'm after. Lee hardly has athing to do, though there is so much work to be donearound their farm and house now. You know thebaby ain't well, and little Alice tags around after herrna whining all the time. She's ailing, too, I guess.It's mighty hard on Mrs. Raymond; but she doesn'tlike Lee to spend time off his books helping her.""'Tis hard on her," agreed Mrs. Bixby, thinkingof the time when she and the pretty Mrs. Raymondhad been girls together. "She and I were mightyfond of each other once. I wish I could go over andhelp her some, but' your Pa'd be mad. Anyhow, Iguess she can't be so bad off, or she'd let Lee do some­thing. 'Tain't good fur a boy to be at his books allthe time; he needs some work.""Oh, Ma, don't you get to thinking like Pa,"groaned the usually uncomplaining Jim. "He saysit's good for a boy's mind when his body is all tiredout; but that's not so. I wish I could make him goand sit on a hard bench all day at school, studying"and then come home and do chores, finishing off bymilking so many kicking cows that his fingers get toonerveless to hold a book. Then I wish he'd set up ageometry before him, and try to work out an originalproblem. I guess he'd find it hard.""Why, sonny," cried Mrs. Bixby."I know I oughtn't to say anything, but I do getso tired.""It ain't easy fur you dear," whispered Mrs. Bix­by, laying her knotty hand on the boy's brown curls." But 1 do what I can- for yotr:....,·'�- ,_.. -.-Jim looked ashamed, as he furtively squeezed her, fingers."You're the best Ma there is," he said, "the verybest. .I'm pretty good on history, and I'll work well,and perhaps I'll win the prize. The examination isthree weeks off, so you see I won't be hurried at all ingetting ready for it."" But don't neglect your other studies," cautionedMrs. Bixby, as they walked together to the house.Jim studied faithfully for three weeks, and so did. Lee Raymond. The latter was the only boy whom,Jim feared would surpass him 0D: the examination.Every evening as he tramped homeward he had topass the Raymond house, and he would see Lee,seated by the sitting-room window, working away onthe history. The boys never spoke, but Lee wouldlet his lips widen in a superior sort of a smile, thatdecidedly irritated the other lad.The night before the momentous examination, Mr.Bixby leaned over his son's shoulder, as the latter wastrying to fix in his mind the fact that Busiris was saidto have built the city of Thebes.(' Jim," he said, "you had better come out 'headon this examination, sonny. Raymond was talking inthe village this morning, boasting about his boy and his boy's smartness. He hinted that Lee would winthe history prize. You recollect what's at stake foryou, and beat him."_ /1'11 do the best I can, Pa." Poor Jim was almostt-�red repeating that phrase of late., "Jim, it's twenty minutes past seven," said Mrs.Bixby next morning, glancing at the clock. "Don'tyou b'lieve you better start now, on account of theweather? ""Land, Ma ! " laughed Jim, nervously; "presumeI could walk four miles in an hour and a half if· thesnow was up to my neck."But in a few moments he put on his coat and cap,took the precious history to study on the way and,despite his usual undemonstrative ways, returned thehearty kiss his mother gave him.The minutes wore away until it was half-past ten." Guess Jim must be 'bout half through his ques­tions by now," thought Mrs. Bixby. At the samemoment the kitchen door opened, and Jim, white­faced and red-eyed, entered." Oh, jim, what is it ? " cried the woman."I was late, Ma," said Jim, slowly. "It was fiveminutes past nine when I got to the classroom.""Surely you did n't loiter on the way?""It took me from half-past seven till five minutespast nine to get to the schoolroom," answered Jim,constrainedly." But what kept you? "" Don't ask Me anything, mao You don't knowhow bad I feel.' ,"You're holding something back, Jim.""Yes'm. But I got to do it. Oh, Ma, it's awfulhard, when I want to go to college so bad."All her mother's heart went out to comfort him."Never mind, Jim; you can try next year. YourPa'll be mad; but you trust to me and keep up yourspirits.' ,She comforted him as well as she could; but theyboth knew that there Was now little hope of a collegeeducation for Jim. The boy's father was a man whoalways kept his word .Great was Mr. Bixby's wrath when he learned thatJim had been late to the examination, and overwhelm­ing was the torrent of reproaches cast upon the luck­less boy. But Jim had pluck. He bore up bravelyand said nothing.Secretly, Mr. Bixby was grudgingly proud of hisson, and he had counted on the boy's gaining thatprize. It was a bitter disappointment to him to knowthat he had not even tried, and the bitterness was notlessened when he learned a day or two later that Leehad been adjudged winner.For the next two or three weeks Jim had a hardtime of it. Mr. Bixby took him out of school, say­ing that it was not worth while for him to finish the 1taeIac:t1tllfi-UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.session, since he was not going to college. The boyhad more tasks than ever to perform. Every timeMr. Bixby assigned a piece of work to be done, hewould say:"And hurry up about it, sonny. Remember whatdelay cost you a little while ago. I want no morefooling. ' ,Jim began to expect some such remark every timehe saw his father. His mother was his standby inthis time of trouble, and the two grew nearer to eachother just on account of these little troubles.One night Mr. Bixby came home late for supper,an unusual thing for him. He walked into the din­ing room, where Jim was listly trying to eat, andpushing the boy out of his chair, literally huggedhim."What an awful goose you were, sonny," he cried;not to trust your own Pa. Ma, you take a blankcheck, and this here boy and you go into the city to­morrow, and get him the nicest lot of tip-top clothesthat a boy would want for college. Do it to-morrow,while I have the money. Mebbe in September Iwon't have so much .. You have him get his. hair cutat a first-rate barber's and buy him a new trunk. Jimyou start back to school to-morrow. Why didn't youtell your Ma, anyhow? I," I thought you would be mad," said happy j im. _.__"I guess you' b�tte; try-and get 'quainted withyour Pa some. I may be stern, but I hope I'm just.To think i came near never finding out. Raymondhas tried to speak to me for several days, but I alwayswalked off. To-day, him and Lee both tackled me,and I had to listen."" If one of you would explain," said Mrs. Bixby,helplessly. •" Let Jim tell," said his father, looking beaminglyat the boy."Why, you see, Ma," exclaimed Jim, "I waspassing Raymond's that morning, and I saw Mrs.Raymond standing on the steps, waving her handsdistracted-like. She called me, and I didn't like notto come, so I hurried up. Little Alice was lying inthe sitting-room unconscious, and couldn't be broughtto. Mr. Raymond had gone to town, Lee had startedfor school, and there wasn't a soul on the farm. Mrs.Raymond was scared to death. She wanted the doc­tor, and couldn't leave Alice to go for him, so sheasked me to get him. Even if he lives at the otherend of the village from where the school is, I thoughtI'd get back to the examination in time if I hurriedall I could. I ran's much as I was able, but when Icame to the doctor's he wasn't there. He was out toj the Blake's farm, a good half-mile away. So I wentthere, and he drove me back to school, only I was(five minutes late."" And then the doctor drove him to Raymond's," finished Mr. Bixby; "and he pitched right in anddid chores, and minded the baby for Mrs. Raymond .while she and the doctor were tending to Alice.Doctor said if he hadn't been called then, Alicewould have likely died."Mrs. Bixby's arm?rwere about her son's neck." I pretty near d1.�lp't get the doctor, Ma, when Iknew I'd have to go to Blake's for him," Jim said;"because I knew then I'd be late. But I kind ofthought it would be winning another sort of prize ifI did my duty. So I did it; only it was hard.""Yes, sir. You've got a bigger prize than thehistory one now," said his father. "And, Ma, Iguess you and I have a prize, too; that's what Ray­mond told me. Say, sonny, you run up to the attic,and get some nuts and popcorn and sweet apples.And, Ma, I wish you'd put 011 your best dress, forRaymond and his wife and Lee are coming over to­night; and we'll all have a visit together like we usedto in the old times."-Maude L. Ra cifo rd.A Curious Collection.Walker Museum has among its many and valuablecollections one which for interest is surpassed by none.It is a collection of objects representing one of themost ancient and interesting religions of the world.It consists.sef the cultus--implements=of =the=Shinto" - -religion, the religion of the Mikado and his millionsof SUbject.This religion is a survival of nature worship.While Japan has progressed in the arts, in statecraftand in civilization, Shintoism has remained as it wascenturies ago. Its temple is the old Japanese house,its altars, formed before painting was known, are voidof all ornamentation, and many of its rites that grewup when man had not yet outgrown his brutish an­cestry are sensual and disgusting.Professor Frederick Starr, curator of the museum,has with immense labor compiled a descriptive cata­logue of the cultus implements of Shintoism, whichwere collected by Mr. Edmund Buckley, a formerfellow in comparative religion at the University,while teaching in Japan. The collection is probablythe most complete of its kind in existence, and notonly comprises rare and impressive objects, but thecheap and insignificant ones used by the common peo­ple in their daily religious ministrations.Notable among the specimens is a branch of thesakaki tree, an evergreen, the sacred plant of theShinto cult. At the sacred festivals at Ise thesetrees are borne aloft by the priests in the processions.Shells, stones, pails, as well as the sakaki tree, pointto the time when the sea and the land were worshipedby Shinto votaries.Prayer books and objects of divination abound.' Acase of rice sticks is shaken and then one is let out9596 UNlvERSrrY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.through a small hole. The number of notches on thestick is compared with the number in the divinationbook and so fate is read. Several models of ricecakes, embossed with quaint figures show the favoriteoffering to the gods, and suggest the worship of thegod of the harvest, the Ceres of the Greeks.Seven small pieces of carved' -:' j·.sd are the seven5. (gods of luck that embellish the households. Of these" Daikota" and" .Ebisu " are the favorites and prob­ably the most ancient. There is in the collection twoimages of these, delicately carved and so small as tobe put in an encasing of rice hull and to require amagnifying glass to bring out the minute lines. Thegods of luck are in reality charms, and the Shintoistshave charms for everything under the sun, as the col­lection in the museum attests. There are no idols inShintoism. The sacred image is the" gobei." It hasa peculiar form, made of seven very slender littlesticks bound together by a wrap of paper and withvery narrow strips of paper, curiously folded, fast­ened at the ends of the sticks. The characteristiccharm of this religion is a splinter of wood from theold temple, folded in a paper, which bears an inscrip­tion, the name of the sun goddess, and the seals of thetemple stamped in red.A curious object is the "Shimenawa," a coarselytwisted large rope of straw, cut and twisted in a talis­manic manner, which is hung at gate-posts to keepaway harmful influences. A model of the householdaltar is shown, with the exact dimensions. Likeeverything in Shintoism, it is plain and simple in theextreme. The model of the temple shows an oldJapanese house, impressively simple. While theJapanese have improved in their domestic architec­ture, the form of the temple has remained as it wascenturies ago.The collection is loaned the University by Mr.Buckley and is open to public inspection. In themeantime Professor Starr is endeavoring to collect :through travelers and missionaries and teachers inforeign countries the sacred objects of the religions ofmankind. Very little work of this kind has been doneand is one of difficulty, as the natives treasure care-fully their sacred utensils. H. R -.University College Ball.The first University college reception and. ball of theyear took place Friday evening at the South Parkclub house. The merry crowd of students which filledthe parlors and ballroom of the pretty club house wasa representative one, and the party was a success inevery way.Before the musicians took their places, and whilethe guests were arriving, Valisi's mandolin orchestra,which was stationed in the north .reception room,played 'several selections. A t nine 0' clock the' party was summoned to the ballroom, which had been con­verted into a play house, a maroon curtain dividingthe room. Seats were arranged for the guests beforethe curtain and at 9:15 the pantomime w�s begun.The dramatic talent of the artists who engaged in thepantomime had been unsuspected by the audience, butwhen the play was finished and the curtain was rungdown (or rather, taken out) even the most criticai weresatisfied. Miss Ide, Miss Van Vliet, Mr. Law, Mr.Hancock, Mr. Atwood and Mr. McClintock all wonwarm applause for their wonderfully clever interpreta­tion of their parts and their easy command of language.Mr. Hancock, as the awkward country bumpkin, wasespecially good, while Miss Ide made an ideal coquette., The pantomime over, the room was cleared for (lanc­ing, the first strains of a waltz were wafted 'throughthe perfumed, 'air and the dance was on.The following dance pr�gramme was then given.We need give no interpretation of the names of thedances, as the idea may be readily grasped .:I.

The Columbians kicked off. During thefirst half the Columbians were very successful. in hold­ing the Philolexian line, but were kept from scoringby full back Cleveland's long punts. The Colum­bians made frequent and long gains by bucking theline. At the end of the first half neither side hadscored.

Thepapers were clear, intelligent, systematic productions,and were well delivered. The interest of the audiencereached its climax, however, when the debate wasreached. C. E. Carey, B. W. Hull and G. E. Cong­don were chosen judges of the debate. M. A. Quinnintroduced the argument for the affirmative, and pro­duced a connected and forcible argument, using nonotes whatever. Mr. Church followed for the nega­tive, and though he had a few notes they were butlittle used, being glanced at but once or twice as theylay upon the table. Mr. Church produced a power­ful argument and proved himself quite Mr. Quinn'speer in oratorical ability and well able to fill the placein the society made vacant by Carl S. Reed. Mr.Lay followed for the affirmative and though he did nottrust himself without his manuscript produced a clean­cut argument. Mr. Dudley closed the argument forthe negative. He produced a bristling array of pointsand ingeniously confessed that before he entered uponthe study of the subject his sympathies had been onthe other side of the question. The debate was thenclosed by Mr. Quinn, and a vote of the judges havingbeen taken, Mr. Carey announced that their decisionwas in favor of the affirmative. The debate was enliv­ened by keen flashes of wit and skillful parries.Amusements.In "On the Mississippi," the author has chosenfor his subject strikingly interesting phases of post­bellum Southern life in the years next succeeding thetermination of the great rebel lion-c-r Soy and 1868-and into the woof and warp of the plot of his stir­ring story of perilous adventure he has woven a brill­iant display of unique character types, historicallocalities, irresistibly humorous comedy, thrillingsituations and strong and completely sustained cli­maxes.

Itwas. during the first baseball season. Mr. Staggpitched for the team and defeated our rural rivals bya score of 5 to o. Although the Illinoisans knew thatStagg played regularly with the nine and although hehad stipulated that he would pitch in making arrang­ments for the game, the defeated players threw uptheir hands in holy horror at the insidious effort ofChicago to foist professionalism on their less sophist­icated neighbors. Since that time the potent powderthat drove the devil from Dr. Jekyll's blood was mis­laid, and Mr. Hyde held undisturbed sway until a fewdays ago when the management of the athletic teamsonce more stepped forth as the pious doctor, fortifiedwith a stack of affidavits, to prove an alibi for Mr.Hyde.These are some of the acts of Mr. Hyde:I. The football game arranged for last fall was calledoff at the last moment.2. A quarrel was made with Northwestern over thegate receipts of a game played in Evanston.3. In the spring the games arranged with Madison• '..!:J' ..were cancelled.;1. ._. 4. A dispute arose over the scoring of a game atChampaign, between Chicago and Illinois and anothergame arranged for on neutral territory. This dateagain was regarded as lightly as a summer's flirtationand promptly cancelled by the 'manager,5. This fall games arranged with Madison and Min­nesota were cancelled, although the blizzard prevail­ing at the time offered some slight, but not adequate,excuse for the action.6. After dallying over making a game with Chi­cago and finally coming to the point, when defeatwas imminent, Mr. Vail, the paid coach, withoutexcuse or previous warning was injected into thegame with the expectation that new energy would begiven the disheartened, defeated men.7. Life is too short to mention the number of timesthe umpire has robbed the team of its justly won vic­tories. The football game last Saturday and the base­ball game with the Michigan last year are cases inpoint that must suffice.But through all this waste of disagreements andsquabbling there have been occasional green valleys inthe forms of entertaining telegrams from the athleticmanagers. "We are not coming. Do you expectus ?" is good, but the latest telegram that will befound in another column is a specimen of rich, rareand racy humor, the like of which it would be diffi­cult to find.Dr. Jekyll's explanation of Mr. Hyde's conduct inthe recent football game is an ingenious one. Mr.Vail said he would not play if Allen objected and canproduce affidavits to that effect. The referee gavethem the game. (See affidavits marked" exhibit A.")But anyway as a mark of sublimated generosity Illi­nois will favor Chicago with a game the next day orthe next but one after the game with Michigan onThanksgiving, provided this game comes off underthe auspices of the Chicago Athletic Club. The finalClause tells the sad tale. Dr. Jekyll feels the transfor­mation coming over him, and hastens to make someprovision against the acts of the irresponsible Hyde.THANKSGIVING with its turkey dinner, itsMichigan game and its general festivities ishere again. Ere now thanks have been givenpublicly and privately for the blessings of the pastyear. The president and faculty have looked out uponthe beautiful campus with its gray hedge-row ofstately buildings, and thanked Providence as the vis�·UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.ion of that same campus a year ago to-day came upbefore memory's kinetiscope.Seniors are thankful that as seniors they have but afew months more of school. Juniors are thankfulthat they are no longer academians. Sophomoresgive heartfelt thanks that they no longer have to bearthe brunt of rude jokes, while Freshmen are glad thatthey are living.Nearly everyone has cause to be thankful for some-thing and the WEEKLY is no exception. It returnsthanks for the material prosperity of the past year; forthe kind favors and support of the students generallyand for the bright outlook for the future.THE communication signed "Student," which-dealt with the course of English (ro) and whichappeared in the last issue of the WEEKLY, seemsnot to have been rightly understood by some. Theintention of the writer was not to cast any reflectionupon the ability of the esteemed instructor of Eng­glish (10), but to call attention to the inadaptabilityof the methods employed by this instructor to thecourse, which is a required one for academic stu­dents. In publishing the communication the editorbelieved it to. be sufficiently clear that no one couldfail to understand its motive. We believe that theauthor made it plain that his criticism was of meth­ods and not of men; of adaptability and not ofability. No one who has known the instructormentioned in the class room or out of it, wouldquestion for a moment his ability or geniality.As to the anonymous character of the communica­tion, it may be said that that was a matter of edito­rial inadvertance.

The time has come when theWest must be regarded as an important foot­ball stronghold and Michigan's victory over the teamwhich scored against Harvard and held Pennsylvaniadown to six points is calculated to make Eastern col­leges look with admiration upon Western schools.The West has suffered in past years by the yearly mi­gration of our athletes to Eastern colleges. The timewill soon be here when Western men will prefer to re­main on their native heath, and while taking advan­tage of the wonderful educational opportunities af­forded here will be as proud of representation on ourleading athletic teams as on the best of the Eastern.THE SUCCESS of the first University collegereception' and ball should ins�re .other part�esin the near future. Why not institute a senesof afternoon informals to be given semi-quarterly oroftener, at Rosalie or the other halls in the neighbor­hood? The expense of these parties would be light,and it seems that they should enjoy a steady popu­larity.Football Notes.The University of Illinois is eager to try conclusionswith the 'Varsity team on neutral ground. The fol­lowing telegram was received by Mr. Stagg Saturday.The object of the Illinois team is so plainly apparentthat it is probable no action will be taken.A. A. Stagg,Chicago, Ill.In consequence of the unsatisfactory ending of Wednesday'sgame,we extend a challenge to the University of Chicago for agame to be played on neutral grounds, under the supervision ofthe Chicago Athletic Association, not later than Dec, I.S. f'. H9L'tZMAK, Manager,9910'0 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.While the ending to Wednesday's game was unsat­isfactory we should like to know who made it so;whose unsportsmanlike attitude put a stop to theplay? The proposition to play not later than Decem­ber r st which Champaign makes is quite in the lineof that institution's past deals. Its manager felt per­fectly sure that Chicago would not accept the mockchallenge when he sent it. Michigan plays here to­day, the 29th, leaving but two days to elapse beforeDecember ad, before which time Illinois demands agame. It is out of the question for Chicago to playso soon after the Thanksgiving day game, and Illinoisunderstands this as well as anyone. It is time forcolleges which care to raise the standard of westernathletics to cry halt to Illinois peculiar methods.Patterson's second team played poorly against theHyde Park school eleven Thursday. Peabody playedquarter back' to the first half, and his fumbles werelargely responsible for Chicago's poor showing. HydePark put up its usual good game and scored two.touch-downs to the second team's none._ As this paper is put into the hands of subscribers thegreat Thanksgiving contests are on. The Michigan'Varsity game, on 'our home field, is the one in whichwe are' most interested. Michigan's team is pro­claimed to be the strongest in the West, and its victoryoyer Cornell Saturday has gained for it many sup­porters. Its best men will go in against Chicago to­day, and the game will be a hot one from start to finish.Chicago will be without several of her best men, butif hard and earnest work will gain a victory, thelaurels will be hers.The 'Varsity team, sixteen strong, saw De WolfHopper in " Dr. Syntax" at the Columbia Saturdaynight. About twenty followers of the team accom­panied them and joined in the Chicago yell, which wasgiven after the "Brickety cax" of Yale had beengiven by the performers..'
