  GREAT FOOTBALL GAMES TOMORROW More Interest CenterS in Chi Cago-Indiana Contest Than Any Other. EARLHAM VS.. WITTENBERG QUAkERS SHOULD WIN AND IF NOT THERE WILL BE DISAP- POINTMENT WABASH AND PURDUE CLASH. Tomorrow will be another great day in football. Perhaps to Richmond followers of the gridiron sport more interest cen ters in the Chicago-Indiana game than any other to be played in the West. Last Saturday purdue faced Chicago and was badly beaten. This Saturday with practically the same team, if not a stronger one than was conceded the state championship last year, the Indiana lads will face Stages great Chicago eleven. Much depends on the game. Indiana and Purdue do not meet this year and their showing against Chicago will serve to indicate their respective strength. Indiana can hardly be expected to beat the Maroons but she can be expected to make a good showing and it would not surprise followers of football if she would score, perhaps more than once. Much depends on Bun Hare, the great quarter back and twice captain. 1t will be a fight between Eckersall and him for hon ors. Not much interest attaches to the game at Springfield, Ohio, where Earlham meets Wittenberg. Earlham is expected to win. If she don’t there will be keen disappointment At Lafayette Purdue is working evan eleven which will defeat Wabash tomorrow. There is no doubt that the Boiler Makers are in a bad way and the Little Giants” should win.
