Before -enindown the western championehip will have beei won and lost. barring an unexpected tie, and either Mieshigans maize and blue or Chicago's maroon will flaunt itself boldly in the face of all, with an unbeaten record le hind it for the year. The battle. bitter enough in itself between these veteran rivals of the west, will be made more bitter by the feelings which have been aroused by charges and counter charges, which have deprived Chicago of a strorg half back and may deprive Michigan of its giant left guard If the promptings of some Aliehigan alumni are listened to at the elev(nth hour. They say It will be a pity if this.

the largest university in the west. ehall be the c.ne to ada to the disrepute of the game the conspicuous example of total disregard of Innate athletic honor. Both Teams Seem Confident. Beth teams are confident of victory. Michigan's warriors are baeked by an unbeaten record of nearly five 3, cars, and Chleago's the firm belief that this is Chicago's year, tLo Teed chant', to defeat Yost it has had since he took charge of the Ann Arbor scoring machine.

Chicage's chanees, which depend on an even break in the luck and the abty to keep the team intact. aecording to the coaches, were brightened last night by the persistent rumor that Leo De Tray weuld be in the game. This was denied absolutely by Capt. Catlin, while Coach Stagg would neither affirm nor deny It. yet the report would not down, and there Is a firm belief In Midway quarters that the whirlwind half back will be found in position when tile referRe's whistle blows for the kickoff.

Rumor About De Tray. Coach Stagg stated de-finitely he had not counted' on De Tray's eervices since the eye specialist sent him to bed last week. He said the player was not In yesterday's final practice-. but did accompany the team on ite ouIne- over Sunday at the Onwentsia club. It is known the half back has In of the practice recently, and Capt.

Catlin, when he heard the rumor, exploded with Why. I can deny that if no one else will. Its a joke. Leo cannot be in ccndition, and would not be as strong as our Nevertheless. it is a feet De Tray hae been out Of doors practically every day.

and It is significant that one of Trainer Contbear's staff of rubbers has vistlea De Tray's home evf ry day' and did so yesterday for the purpose of keeping the player In condition. Coach Stagg admitted there had been much Improvement in lee Trays injured eye. but dismissed the entire subject by raying he could riot shoulder any responeibility In the matter, and knew nothing definite about the player's condition. Physicians May Decide. It is the general belief that it rests with De Tray's physicians, his 'parents.

ard the player himself whether or not he plays In today's game. and that the final decision will not be reached until just before the game. It Is certain that if the half back reports at the gynneasium in coedition, to play and with proofs that he is fit. Coach Stagg will not order him back to bed. The maroer, leader dal not irclude De Tray In the official lineup announced last night, but said Hitchcock would play at left hair and Walker at right.

Russell will be given the place at right guard against the veteran Schulte. whom Coach Yost included In his official lineup. It will be a first year man agairst one of six years' experience if Yost adheres to this determination, which seems. fixed despite all the evidence produced to Show the player's ineligibility. Schulte in the Lineup.

It is Michigan's position the player Is eligible in the absence of any protest against him or of any official evidence; that Chicago should have protested previous to the specified limit for such action, submitting with the protest the evidence against the player and that mere newspaper evidence is no evidence at all upon which to base a decision in so important a rpatter. In other words, it appears Schulte is iee slip through another Thanksgiving day game by clever strategy." to quote a Waehington university prefeasor, just as he did five years ago at St. Louis.

Squiers resigned today his commision as minister of the United States to Cuba. as a protest against the sharp reprirrian71- administered to him by Secretary of State Root. lie will be succeeded by Edwin V. Morgan, Minister to Cora. The reprimand given Mr.

resulted from his alleged encouragement of Americans In the Isle of Pines to set up a territorial government. in the hope of influencing the senate against ratification of the treaty now pending, wl.ich recognizes Cuba's sovereignty over the It was alleged that Minister Squiers knew in advance of the proposed revolt of Americans, and the attitude Le adopted was such as to encourage thcm to pursue this course, though he was aware It was directly contrary to the policy of the president. Minister Squiers went so far as to authorize an interview with a correspondent of a New York paper and the reporter of a paper published in Havana. It was this interview which precipitated the trouble. Therein he expressed practical approval of the steps taken by the American residents of the Island.

It was a grave indiscretion from an administration point of view, because it was calculated to confirm the suspicions ea Cubans that the United States is seeking to gain possession of their territory. It was a violation of the regulations for the government of the diplomatic service, which forbid an. officer from talking for publication without the consent of the state department. 13 Relief to Cuba.

He was confronted with the disagreeable duty of calling the attention of the American government to the interview. Failure to do would have lent weight to the charge made against him that he was in favor of American annexation. Should the United States take the Isle of Pines.

Cubans would regard such action as a step toward acquisition by this country of all their territory. The Cuban government has expressed In the past dissatisfaction with air. Squiers attitude, alleging that he was encouraging the annexationists, and this was not looked upon with favor by the mass of the Cuban people. President Palma, therefore. directed Minister Quesada, stationed at Washington, to call the attention of the secretary of state to Mr.

lie admitted that he had talked with the representatives of the two papers In which the Interview bad a ppeared, and added that they had quoted him correctly. There was no crawling. no attempt to blame any one, no evasions ofaresponsibility. Secretary Root laid the facts before the president, and the latter authorized the secretary of state to reprimand the minister for his indiscreet conduct. Reprimand, Then Resignation.

The reprimand was cabled yesterday morn. ing. The eecretary recited the facts in connection with the attitude of the adtMnIstration towards the Tele of Pinee. He declared the Isle of Pines was to the administration of Cuba, that the United States possesees to sutstantial claim to it: that It always has been a part of Cuba. ard nothing has occurred to charge Its status.
