The managers of both teams assure the fans that the game will be replete with thrills, as ecach is out to wMi the telling game of the scries. The burden of the Red- lands attack will rest on Norton, Mil- ler, McCue and Newvelig, while the Rovers will depend on Feore, Nyberg, Poglitch and Whitney.

Inability to secure a playing field tomorrow is the reason. It had been tentatively planned to play the game at St Mary’s fleld, but [ Newest Indian Star Said To Be Even Greater Than Jim Thorpe Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 26.—Normal- ly when it is written that a player 1s u “second Jim Thorpe,” praise of the highest sort has been given. The lily has been gilded, another hue added to the rainbow. Comes .now word that a player “greater than Jim Thorpe” has been developed. The super-great is John Levi, star and captain of the Has- kell Indlans of this city, a team that has made an enviable record on the gridiron this fall. No less an authority than Coach Spaulding of Minnesota describes Levi as the greatest football player of all time, a player who is “greater than Thorpe.” Bpaulding saw Levi play against Minnesota, a game that resulted in a 13 to 12 victory for Minnesota. “Thorpe was good,” continued Spauld- ing, “but Levi is greater.” In the Minnesota game Levi ran 85 yards through the whole Minnesota team to score a touchdown. The In-| dian is 6 feet tail and well propor- while' the teams were delaying defi- nite action the Rover-Redland man- agement acted and secured the use of the field. A visit to Hoffman's field this morning showed that it was a little sea of mud and an undesirable place to play, hence the decision to wait another week and play at St. Mary's field. l:‘ i il il i ‘ mmnfi‘l““ WML il ”m This is his second year varsity.
