TEAM IS STRONG AND WILL MEET
ALL IT'S OLD-TIME
RIVALS.
Again the Cry Goes Forth That the
Eleven Needs Brac-
ing Up.

SHOWS dl MS pest, ana Whefe he leads
the world. The season of 1897 promises
to be a good one, especially when
viewed from this locality.
Minnesota will have tried men in the
game. With the exception of former
i Capt Harding and Fulton, center, the
rest of the line and all of the backs
will be on hand when the fall term
| begins. Jerrems will coach the team
again, and, of course, Yale tactics will
be continued. Moulton, as of yore,
will be the trainer. Several candidates
| have appeared for the vacant places
made by the absence of Harding and
Fulton. Smith, the big medic, VINO
| played tackle, is a likely man for
Hardings old position, and Flanagan
and Katolba, two of last years SUBJ
| stitutes, are heavy enough and have
the staying qualities which make them
| desirable men for center.
| Kehoe, one Of last years tackles, is
back and the local men are placing
him at full back, where he is sehed-
uled for some good work with proper
coaching. Babe" LOOMS will devote.
his entire attention to the half, and
| Cole Woodwork and Reilly, a plucky
| high school player, will tear around in
| the quarter.
Teigen, Bagley, Christopherson, RE

| strong men for the half places Jack
| Harrison, who is most likely to be
| chosen captain, Scandrett, Clint Wal

| Leary Madigan. Larson, Pillsbury,
| Van Camper, Harding, Dalrymple and
| other old time stars will help in the
| work.

MADISON FOLK BLUE.
The outlook at the University of Wis
consin is rather gloomy. Something
must be done at once to relieve a
desperate situation Two chief causes
are given for the discouraging outlook
the fact that no coach has as yet
been secured and that fewer old play
ers are coming back than in any year
since football came to the front in the
badger institution.
1t was hoped earlier in the season
that Philip King, the famous Prince
| ton coach, who was so successful here
| last year, might be secured for another
year, and in fact when he was first
| engaged it was with the understanding
| that he was to remain two years, but
! at the last meeting of the directors of
| the athletic association it was decided
not to accept his terms in view of the
| desperate financial condition of the as
ISOLATION. The Indebtedness causing
| so much trouble foots up $500. At a
| recent meeting of the special football
| committee it was decided, if arrange
! ments could be made for securing a
| good coach, the team was to be gotten
| together about Sept. Is.
! The report that Capt. Richards had
signed as physical director of Shurtleff
| college, Illinois, brought dismay to the
! Heal Is VI dll w lScOHSlH pdFllSanS. lie

| however, and the belief now is that he
| will return. Atkinson, right tackle,
who was last year elected captain was
! dropped by the faculty for poor
| scholarship, and will not return. Ryan
! left guard, has accepted principalship
| in a La Crosse high school "Skey"
! Karel, half back; Alexander left tack

Instructor Pyre, left tackle, has played
| the maximum time permitted by inter
| collegiate rules. This reduces the num-
| Der of last years team that are ex-
/ pected to return to Riordan, right
/ guard; Brewer, right end; Gregg, quar-
| ter back; Comstock, center; Anderson,
substitute end. and Richards, full back
| Of the substitutes Bean, Pell, Forrest,
! O'Dea and Mcpherson are expected
| back and should prove good material.
| No new acquisition to the team of any
note is as yet assured, except Temple
| man, who captained the team of AmeS
! college Qowa) last year, and who will
enter upon a two years course If
! Richards returns he will undoubtedly
| be chosen again, but it is understood
! that in view of the reputation he has
| already made and of the rather weak
! team which theBadger institution must
| put in the field in the opening, he is
somewhat averse to returning to the
| gridiron. Jerry Riordan, one of the
| most popular of the team, is strongly
| talked of for second place.
! The great contest of the season, that
! with Minnesota, is scheduled for Oct
! 80.
IN MICHIGAN gu"
Present prospects at Ann Arbor are
| bright.
| F. w. Henninger, known to football
| players as PA" Henninger, who has
! played on the Michigan eleven for four
| years and who will be one of the
coachers during the coming season,
| says, with a couple of good ends, a
strong center, heady quarter back
| and a good all-round full back, the
| ground work of a strong eleven would
| be completed. J. w. Bennett, who
| played guard last year. will probably
be put on one end this season. He is
| the sprinter of the eleven. runs we'll
with the ball and is an adept at break
| ing up interference. He is a senior
this year. For the other end Teetzel,
of the Englewood high school, who eX-
poets in enter the university next fall,
is talked of. His playing is we'll known
in Chicago, and he should make a good
running mate to Bennett.
John B. Wombacher, of Peoria, ILL.,,
captain for next year, will be back at
