The Wisconsin game will be
played at Northrop field, on the univer-
stty campus, at 2:30 this afternoon. With
propitious weather the biggest crowd
which has ever witnessed a Minnesota
game will see the contest between the two
big rival universities of the West.
Victory seems certain to rest on the
cardinal banner, but it will be a great
game and hard fought. The probabilities
are that Minnesota will not score In the
first place, the men are comparatively in
experienced. But few of them have ever
fought in really big battle. Then, too,

hitter as Glover. But he lacks expert

produces.
This forenoon the Madison high school
team and the Central high eleven of
Minneapolis will open up the football fes-
tiv1ties. The Madison scholastics have
not been defeated for several seasons
and they are as strong as ever this year
me Minneapolis Central team has been
well cared for and well coached and is
prepared to do some good hard fightfng
The contest is an annual one between
the two teams, but never has Madison
been defeated. 1t will be a pretty con-
test.
The University of Wisconsin has not
been defeated this season except by Yale.
The score in that game was to O. She
has Won from Lake Forest, % to 0; Be-
lott, 50 to o; Northwestern, SO to 0: ILL

the Wisconsin alumni, II to s. Except in
the game with Yale, no team has crossed
her goal line, the score in the alumni
game being goal from the field by Coach
Phil King.
Conservative fortune tellers believe that
the score today will read something like
this: Wisconsin, %; Minnesota, O. This
figure will undoubtedly be near the re-
suit Of the contest. But Minnesota may
score. Stranger things have happened
on football field, and Minnesota has a
penchant for making something in the
last minute of play.

and will not play today. and the center
position will be filled by A. Chamberlain
