November 10 A big mass meeting on the eve Of a big game is an inspiring affair, especi- T ally ii it is like the ones that students in the university of Chicago are familiar with and participate in. 1t may be the Chicago spirit that one hears much about that makes the meetings SO lively, but whatever it is they are certainly inspiring. To hear several / thousand students ripping out: 4 “Chicago-C Chicago Chicago-go! / Go-Chica-Go Chica-Go Chicago | is enough to make every man on .he team be willing to tear through a sNone wall. Probably the greatest meeting OF the year was the one held in Mandel hall last night to get up enthusiasm / for the last big game tomorrow with Wisconsin If the snap, vim and en- thusiasm displayed last night is any Ecriterion the Badgers are going to be showed under by the Midway war; iors. The meeting last night had touch of sadness taat even the most j spontaneous enthusiasm could not / drown. Eight of those grand war 4 riors who have carried the Maroon through thick and thin, play their last game tomorrow. They are cap tain pat Page, Wortlwitte, Hirschel. Sunderland, Kelley, Badenoch, Hoffman and Ehrhoni and each of these men were visibly erected as they II spoke last night. The crowd led by the band assem- bles in the big hall and there tae noise commences. The three cheer leaders and their assistants are kept busy see : ing that the yells are given and the songs sung. The appearance of the team and the “Old Man” bring the 4 students to. their feet and the cheers ! that are given shake even the firmest of foundations After rousing cheer $ one of the leaders calls out who do you want We want Stage comes : the reply. Who is Stagg?” First in war, first in peace, first in the heart of Chicago men” comes the dealing greeting as THE Grand old man” ascend the rostrum And Stagg never gives dry speech. It’s as full ! of snap and ginger as his coaching and always pleases. Last night he paid ? a touching testimonial to the eight heroes who play in their last game. His touching praise of them as men was received, almost with tears by the team. Mr.. Stagg is always conserva- . tive in his talks at the mass meetings, !. preferring to leave the results to I speak for themselves. Captain Pat Page is always called on and this plucly little fellow, who : has played in every game, though in two of them his ankle was SO weak :. he, could hardly stand, is the idol Of the rooters. The other seven men who bid farewell to the padded clothes : :. we’re called on as well. = Frank Herring, Chicago quarterback in ’93 “a and ’95 was present and his eulogy of coach Stagg was received with cheers by the throng.

  DEFEAT OF WISCONSIN GIVES THE GoPHERs WESTERN CON. FERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP. HARD GAME WITH MICHIGAN Magidsohn Of Wolverines One Of the Shining Stars of 1909 Gridiron contests-stags Glad to Get a Tie with Cornell. DelOTe IL uuiluS me season just closed. Wisconsin, after the other teams of the big eight” had failed, tried in vain to stop the onward rush of the Gophers, but the score-34 to 0-tells how badly the Badgers failed. Then came the game with Michigan, the resuit Of which left the Minnesota team with a full share of honors. After the brilliant victory of the Minnesota team regret was expressed that the Gophers could not meet Yale, the best of the eastern teams, for the championship of the United States. Some experts expressed the opinion that the boys from the great wheat producing state would have given a good account of themselves in battle with old Eli. In order to play Minnesota, Michigan had to agree to the conference rules, which bar fourth-year men from participating in a game. This deprived the Wolverines of the services of Was mund, the teams great quarterback, as this was his last year in college and he was not eligible for the contest. Joy Miller, right end, was shifted to the quarterback position. Michigan went into the game with an abundance Of confidence because Of her victory over Pennsylvania. Having no defeat marked up against them during the season Minnesota also was not lacking in confidence. Both teams put up desperate battle and the game was filled with thrilling features. Michigan had tried for four years to beat Pennsylvania, and after its defeat by Notre Dame the chances of the team downing the Quakers did. not look rosy. However, when the game was started, 1t was soon seen that the Wolverines had chance to wipe out former defeats. The Michigan lads used a style of football that the Penn boys had never seen before and the Red and Blue warriors soon were bewildered by the strength and tricktness of the Wolverines. Out Of the great struggle came one hero whose name will be sacred in the annals of Ann Arbor football for years to come. He is Magidsohn, the won uerful halfback. Michigan has had many stars in her day, but Magidsohn shines az brightly as any of them. It was his work that beat Pennsylvania. He scored both of the touchdowns for his team and tore great holes in the Quaker defense. In addition he tackled desperately and spoiled the Quakers’ best efforts to use the forward pass. Another invasion of the east by the west did not result as successfully as did that of Michigan, but the Chicago Maroons were glad to get even a draw with Cornell. It has been readily admittted that Stages team this year was not as strong as those he had as sembled in former seasons, and before the struggle it looked like a good bet that Cornell would win. When the Maroons scored six in the first half and the Crimson eleven had nothing it looked as If the west might carry of two victories. But in the second half Cornell tied the score, and thus it stood 6 to 6 when the game was over The score was the same as that Of the 1908 game, and puts the teams on an equal footing. The experts are figuring that the Maroons of 1908 would have defeated the team Cornell had this year. They also say that the Chi cago team of the days Of Walter Eek ersall would have come home with a victory instead of tied score. Be that as it may, Stage said he was glad to get away with the tie. If Stage is satisfied, others should be. The Maroons came out of the game an good shape and were in condition for their final struggle of the season, the game with Wisconsin. The Bad gers were not in as good condition after their crushing defeat by Mime sofa, and with Mol out of the lineup were not as strong as they might have been. In addition to losing the game with Iowa Ames suffered greatly by the in Jury to her captain, Wilmarth, who was 80 badly hurt in the struggle that he had to be taken to a hospital. It was said that he suffered conclusion of the BRAIN, p al s.F q Illinois played another of her brilliant games against Northwestern and the Evanston boys were doomed to defeat before the contest had gone ten minutes. Northwestern could do moth ing against the Illinois line and the score OF SO to o tells the story.
