Coach Stagg is Taking No Chapces on Past Perfor- mances of Purple and is ; Driving His Men Hard. EXPECTS A HARD TUSSLE Maroon football performers tried a new style of practice yesterday at Mar> shall Field when they began prepara- tions for next Saturday's Chicago' Northwestern game at the Midway camp. Coach Stagg alternated the ath- letes at heavy blocking drill and the lightest Wnd e* â- tmpie tactl«, and the combination showed his pupils In a favorable light ,1,. v The practice jjfai far from the gloomy affair theMudenta bad expect ed. A report gnthed currency on the campus that the majority of the Ma- roons who played in the Wisconsin game hf*d brought hack serious injur- ies, but the facts proved to be other- wise. Far from remaining in the hos- pital, all but two members of the squad were on hand |<kr Work, andd the miss- ing pair was excused on the score, of actual ailments. Paine, who twisted his knee, and Vruwlnk. who fractured his Jaw, were the only Maroons hurt Qualified for the sick list by the Badgers. Vruwlnk's accident took place in, the first quarter, and he played through the entire game without informing Coach Stagg of the injury. Paine's wrench will not keep him on the sidelines more than a few strictly in the championship running, and would put up their usual corking game from now on. Page thinks high- ly of Coach Williams' line, which, he declares, will furnish Wisconsin with, plenty of work. He regards the Goph- ers as ahead of Chicago In develop, ment Page will teach the freshmen'some Illinois and Minnesota plays this week,. after they have learned a few of the Northwestern formations, and the year- lings will be scrimmaged against the varsity. , A ray of hope appeared at North- western university football field yester- day in the person of Shepard, the star left guard of last year. Shepard re- ported that he had removed the last of his scholastic conditions and was fit too play. In view of the injury to Cole's knee the appearance of the 188- pound star injected new life In the team and the coaches saw an improved squad when the first drill preparatory to the Maroon game Saturday was gone through. Testerday the secimrf back field, consisting of Warren, Warrick, Cunningham and Denton, was given a sharp practice in defense against the fast freshman eleven. The regular back field was given twenty minutes' signal practice. Dr. and Mrs. A. S.

Holgate, dean, of the school of Liberal Arts at Northwest- ern university, warned students Mon- day against a repetition of the at- tacks on Heck hall, the dormitory of the Biblical school students. "A wise man knoweth when to quit," This evening in the spacious parlors of the Bible school, street and Hinman avenue, there be tendered a reception to Dr. and Mrs- Clarke, not only by the members of the congregation, but all good friends of the church and of the. pastor and his wife, in recognition and apprecia- tion of the good work accomplished by Dr. Clarke during the five years ofJ*^Dle# his ministry at the Second Presby- terian church, the anniversary of which is Sunday. Since Dr. Clarke became the pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, the congregation has purchased the manse at' 831 Hinman avenue, erected - and equipped the Bible school build- ing at an expense of $30,000 and re- arranged the seating of the pews in the church so that they will accom- modate 100 more communicants than under the old arrangement. So much for the physical welfare. Membership Organised. The church membership has been The attendance said the dean.

Clark of 1217 Forest avenue to the presidency of that organization. The W. B. M. I. Includes the seventeen'middle states of the nation. It has a state -organiza- tion in every one of the states from Ohio to Colorado. Mrs. Clark, until very recently, was president of the Illinois branch. Mrs. J. H. Moore of Chicago was elected vice-president. Mrs. S. E. Hurlbut and Miss Flora Starr of Bvanston were re-elected treasurer and assistant treasurer. The next convention will be held in Octo- ber, 1913, In Detroit, Mich. The last service of the convention was an in- formal tea held in the parlors of the church on Thursday afternoon. The Weather outdoors being wet and un- pleasant made the well decorated rooms seem more cozy and comfort- The majority of the delegates have left for their homes, but quite a few will remain over to enjoy the serv- ices on Sunday. They all voted that Qivanston was a most beautiful and a most hospitable town. "«!!|!*W"*«*T'*W** Officer William Lanning MiltonrPope, aDmrnaReader; to the PpliceRation As Suspect.

AUGUSTINE EPISCOPAL CHURCH The Woman's Guild and Auxiliary of the parish will attend the 7 :30 o'clock service next Sunday morning, November 10, to make their corporate communion. Every communicant of the parish should.have a part in this important service, for it is the time mm Story of Injuries s Hoax. The hospital fiction was apparently a hoax on the part of some of the Mid- way jesters. It Included suck wild statements as that Des Jardlen had broken his shoulder blade, and that 8canlon had dislocated his shoulder, and that Fierce, Whiteside, Hunting- ton, Gray, Smith, Sellers, Fltzpatrick and Kennedy were in the hospital. Kennedy did not even play in the Wisconsin game. The only trouble at the Midway Is that the players are nursing a few as- sorted bumps of the regulation grid- iron variety, none of which are un- usually acute. From present indica- tions, the squad will be in fine shape to meet Nortnwostern for the city cham- pionship. Coach Stagg declared that be might be able to save some, of his players for the Illinois game a week from next Saturday at Champaign. Paine's sore knee makes him a logical aspirant for the bench, and it Is practically certain that he will be relieved of active duty until the down-state battle. Marston Smith, who made a flrst>class snowing at Madison, is slated to guide the team against the Methodists. The Midwayites wno failed to get into the lineup last Saturday received the brunt of the hard work in practice, while the regulars were allowed to loaf through elementary drill much of the time. The line was composed largely of substitutes, and the second string performers tried the new plays In the back field. As a finishing exercise the heavyweight candidates were lined up for blocking practice in the effort to teach them more of the science of stopping holes. Purple Will Fight Hard. Coach Stagg told the men before practice that they might meet a lot of opposition from Northwestern In spite of the mediocre work of the Methodists Purdue.

Dr. Wilson of the Wil- mette Presbyterian church, will speak Sunday at 11 a. nx on "The Covenant and Infant Membership and Baptism." In the evening 7:45 o'clock he will speak on "At the Feastâ€"What Christ Taught Concern- ing Himself." This is an interpreta- tion of the seventh chapter of the Gospel of John. One of the remark- able facta in the life of Christ is the consistent and relentless antagonism which he met with from the leaders of the Jews. The result was to shape largely his method of starting his kingdom and to bring out in clear out- line in the discussions which resulted the complete and definite facts about his person and work. Ho one can un- derstand the growth of faith among the disciples without knowing how, along side, unbelief developed!â€"object- ingâ€"criticising and opposing him at every turn until finally it eventuated in his crucifixion. Careful preparations are in progress for the celebration of Home Mission Week. The circular which has been sent out by the denominational boards outlining "American Social and Re- ligious 'Conditions" 1s a wonderful study in religious sociology. It em- braces a study of the negro, illiteracy in Cuba, growth In the United States, sources of Immigration, loss of popula- tion in nine agricultural states, twen- ty-five metropolitan districts, owner- ship of wealth, the church as a relig- ious force, women in industry, the econpmio aspects of the liquor prob- lem and the churches of America in a unified program of advance. The chief of these will be presented by experts on Wednesday, November 20, in three of the homes of the peo- ple* lb which everyone Is Invited and the pastor will speak on the "Econ- omic Waste of the Liquor Business," November 17, and "The Can of God to the Churches of America** on Novem- ber 24. when the Women of the church will foreign missions, and to the boards oft offer their united supplication to God the church and general philanthropies for His blessing en the work under- haa been more than doubled.

The reception, therefore, will par- take of the nature of a social celebra- tion, wholly informal ln its character, and the esteem in which Dr. and Mrs. Clarke are held ln the community will be evidenced by a large gathering of their friends on that occasion. WOMAN INJURED IN EXTINCUISHINC FIRE Mrs. J. W. Osborn, Central street, Evanston, was severely cut on the left wrist while attempting to extinguish a blase at her home Saturday after- noon. The fire department was called, but by the time they arrived the flames had made good headway. After a hard fight the fire was extinguished. The damage was placed at $400 on the bouse and $100 on the furniture. Mrs. Osborn bad her wound dressed by Dr. Ford. It is not serious.
