4 STAGG ADDS MANY HEWFORMATIOIISTO MAROON REPERTOIRE JWritesLast Chapter of Preparation for Winning the Western Championship in Crucial, Game With Wisconsin Saturday. ALL REGULARS GET INTO A SPEEDY SIGNAL DRILL jtfore Light Work Today Will Finish Chicago Team Will Leave for Madison Tomorrow Morning Many to Go Along. BY HAROLD fStHXGS. Director Stags kidded half a dozen' brand. new formation's to the Maroon repertoire yesterday afternoon and thereby wrote the last chapter In the iy08 book formation so far as the Midway athletes are concerned.

Captain StefTen and his team mates now have everything possible under the new rules with which to defeat Wisconsin Saturday, and i the rooters along the Midway believe the knowledge and skill of which their gridiron exponents are in possession Is sufficient to down the Badgers. In- his latest creations Coach Stagg has adopted altogether now tactics with, which to outwit the Madisonites. and although Coach Barry and his players may know ail the formations used against the Ithacans. thcr siijl hava iaopie- iwejnty w. thirty more hard problems solve.

Instead of 'the proposed scrimmage with the freshmen, the Midway instructor called off all practice of th strenuous sort yesterday, preerring to take no chances of Injuries, to his athletes, and Instead confined, work to fast signal drill. All the lars were in the line-up for the firBt time this week and the plays were rattled on without a mistake. The new combinations were tried out against the first year men and proved a success, none of the yearlings being able to solve the tricks shot at them in rapid order by Captain StefTen. T- More SI a si Drill Today. Another signal drill will be given the team this afternoon and the season's work will be over as for as training goes.

Every man Is in the best condition to put up the fight of his life against the Badgers. Steffen, Hoffman, Schommer, and, last but not least. Iddlngs, will make their last appearance on the gridiron day after tomorrow and w'ill endeavor to characterise their adieu by some tellar performances. Schommer and Steffen have put the finishing touches on their kicking, and both will be ready to offset the toe work of the Badger quarter, Keckie Moll. Schommer tried ten attempts at goal from placement on the forty yard lino, and was successful seven times.

Steffen put in a half hour at drop kicking booted the oval between the bars several times, from the thirty-live yard mark. Maroon rooters are busy making a com p-srison, individual to individual, of the two teams, and can see little reason wny tne Badgers should hare a look-in. Steffen, they figure, is ahead of Moll's class. As a kicker. he is at least the equal of his rival, and In handling forward passes he surely wilt ox eel anything Moll can deliver.

It l.ta- gen- eralstup that the Mldiwayltes figure tneyaave a big advantage over Barry's eleven. Moll nas shown sucn poor ability as a neia strate gist he has been deprived of the Job of call ing the signals and the trust placed in Cun Bingham, the midget right half back. Sehvnmer ass.

Page and Schommer win outclass Roger and Dean, although th latter Jbave made a One record a extremity meal' It is certain that neither of the Badger ends ean equal the defensive work of Page and they wiW do well, figure the fans, to gather in the passes as Page does. Schommer is also a re liable man on the defense and fn all respects is the equal of his partner in handling the ovar on long and difficult passes. In weight. the four men are pretty evenly matched.

They will have an Immense advantage in weight over their opponents and this in the eyes of their friends is much in their favor. WUroaiia Line Look Good. In the line Wisconsin will have the advantage in weight and undoubtedly has a powerful aggregation of giants to compose the forward set. OsthoB. Messmer, Stlehm, and Boyle are all big, powerful men.

who have proved the equal of any opposing linemen. In view of the Maroon line's good showing against Cornell Saturday It fs the opinion on the Midway campus that Stagg's forwards will Just about hold their wn with the Badger heavy-weights. Kelly, Falk, Badenoch, and Hoffman are all strong, active athletes, who have a good knowledge of the game and ability to use It. Director Stagg and the team will leave tomorrow morning for Madison, where they will attend a purity banquet given in their honor by the Wisconsin team.

It was one of the hardest and fastest of the season, and when the players were seat. to the gymnasium the coaches said1 that It was a good exhibition and the Maroons would have to go some to capture the championship. The 'only thing that marred the practice was a slight accident which befell Cunningham, the crack little right half back, who turned his left ankle again; bnt the injury is not considered, serious, although it may keep him out of the signal practice tomorrow and next day.

Th varsity scored four touchdowns on the scrubs, three of them being made on forward passes. In the scoring. Jimmy Dean, right end. starred by making two touendowns. Culver, who Cunningham's place when the latter was Jnjured, played well on offense, but did not do so well on defense.

Packey carried off the honors by a small margin. During the fight, which at time ebbed and flowed first In favor of Pmrkey and then toward Murphy, the Windy city champion was always the aggressor.

Nov. 18. The critical baseball maa can't even see where Stallings haa the nucleus for a winning team. Willie Keeler is done; Elberfeld is not likely to play here that is, either Elberfeld or Chase will have to move on. and If this comes to a show down Chase will have the preference.

Conroy is not getting better, and Hemphill is the only regular left In the outfield. Second base aad shortstop will not be filled by veterans, unless something In the' way of deals are If not. Gardner will get the berth. He looks good, but this is practically hia first year in the big league. CfRonrke will not do at short.

Stallings has Conroy or Morlarity for third. Morlarlty. however, will hardly be sent to that position. Maybe Stallings will make on outfielder of him. He has a position to fill here, Hemphill Is slated to guard center fleia, or he -may be shifted to right, and McCrve played In canter.

Tha latter Is, like Gardner, practically a minor yet, but he has been tried out and made good. Mcllveen la not a certainty In left field. This is field good base ball, a man faster than tha ex-Newark player. Ha la a fair hitter, but rather slow.

At any rate Stallings is going to develop Lake under good coaching. Manning has some claaa and so has Fred Glade. The latter was not well enough to give his. beet services last season. It Is still a question whether Doyle's arm Will be in condition and Hogg la an uncertainty.

18. Re-enforced by a party of twenty reserves, the varsity football squad will leave for Syracuse tomorrow night for the last game of the season. The varsity squad numbers about twenty, and as the athletic assoeiatioa has decided to reward the scrubs who have worked faithfuly all season with the trip, the squad will be the biggest that has represented Michigan since the days of the Michigan-Chicago games. The team Is again In fairly good shape, having 'partially recovered from the 111 effects of the Pt lasylvania game. Captain Scfauls is able to play, and with the single exception of Allerdice, the team will be the same aa the one that faced Pennsylvania last wek.

Ran-uey has permanently replaced Llnthlcum at right end, while Linthtcum hae been shifted to right half to fill the vacancy caused by AI-lerdlce's enforced absence from the game. With Schuls certain to get into the game. Yost is again more optimistic and feels that the varsity haa a. chance to win from the Easterners. The greatest difficulty the coach is experiencing is to find a substitute for Allerdice who can do the punting, place kicking, sod forward passing, all of which wer the blond half back's duties until he had to leave the team.

Davison is doing falrlv consistent work punting and Wastnund will probably have to do the heaving, while without Allerdice the varsity is without a goal kicker. MONMOUTH CANCELS GAMES. McKllrlrk, lajared Sat a relax, Valla to ne-srala Cosacioassesa. Special Dispatch to Tne later Oc-aa. MONMOUTH.
