cham pionship. Considering the wealth OF raw
material that Iale's coaches have to deal with.
the eleven shows unusually good qualities this
,.arly nnd in the next three weeks the players
are expected to show UP with twice as much

rather cast down over their defeat Coach Phil
King was quite sore over what he termed the

hand jammsd In a car door. 1t was found that

Wisconsin men say that U'Dea would have
stopped Richards In his phenomenal run OF
slxty.nvs yards FOR the only score OF the game.
The Badgers maintain that. barring this Incl
dent. they outpayed Yale in almost every re-
speet. Some OF them said that several Yale
coach es. including Water Camp, had admitted
this Act TO them, all OF which Is Interesting, no
DOUBT. but II does not alter the fact that Wis
