Madison, sept. -.
A. AIS nrst meeting for the openlDS
year Monday evening, the law faculty
OF the university unanimously decided
| that it had no disciplinary juriSdic-
| ton in the cases OF MesSrs. May
| bury and CochemS on the ground that
the athletes had signitied their lnten-
| ton of leaving the university. The
matter came UP in the resolutions
recently adopted by the athletic coun-
| Gil which recommended that the law
! faculty take such disciplinary meas
ureS as in its discretion 1t saw tit.
| This ends the matter so far as that
| body is concerned. No reflection was
made on the action of the council.
All members of the faculty were pres
! ent except Chief Justice Cassoday.
! The faculty of the college of letters
and sciences also held it's first meet
Jag Monday afternoon. Aside from
the arrangement of the time table for
the coming semester, and other rou-
! tire work, little was done. The ath-
| letic muss did not come up for action
but it is understood a statement OF
| the. facts and of the councils action
in the case has been sent to Harvard
Every train brings in students and
the outlook for big opening attend
ance tomorrow is most bright.
Coach King had his men out Mon
day afternoon to see what material he
| had in hand, from which to build a
! team worthy to fill the place left by
! last years champions. About 80 can
didates were out for practice. Nc
scrimmages were INDUCED in, the men
only tackling the dummy, and engag-
! ing in formation plays. The outlook
SO far is not very promising, but the
! team may turn out better than is ex-
| pected. The following new candi-
dates are trying for the positions
named: C. H. McKenna of PlatteVille,
| for guard and end; T. G. windes,
Evanston's high school full back, try
ing for that position here; Mather,
! tackle on last years Freeport team !;
Muther, OF Oak Park, end on last
years U. w. substitute team; Earl
! Driver, Dodgeyille's end; Fred.
Wedge candidate for end; Leon r.
Patterson, Evansville's old half back.
who is also very promising man fo1
the track team.
A much heavier man than Cham
berlain must be found for center, or
another guard like Arnold is neces-
sary to strengthen the line. Only
three old men are expected back,
O'Dea, Holmes and Anderson.
News has been received here by j.
l. Fisher, manager of the U. w.
football team from H. R. Holmes
saying that, as soon as his fathers
affairs are Strengthened out, he will
return here. Much joy was caused
by this bit of news, as Holmes was a
tackle on the team last year gaining
a reputation by scoring the first
touchdown in the game against Chi
cago. His presence will greatly
strengthen the line, and will also
bring a good influence to bear on the
new men.
a new man was out yesterday after
noon who shows the ear marks Of a
conner. As far as weight, height and
nerve are concerned L. S. Arnold, the
new man is all right. He is trying
for guard, but, like the rest, neeus
practice.
Edward COchems, who DOTTED his |
suit when the athletic council took |
itc unfavorable action in regard to !
MS brother, Henry F., has again /
come out for practice.
The students already in town are
signing petition requesting the ath-
etic board to suspend all further
action against Maybury and Cochems.
