MUELLER MUST GO
THIS Is SAID TO BE THE DECISION
OF THE VARSITY
COMMITTEE
WISCONSIN IN SAME BOAT
Claimed That Schreiber, the Bad
gers Guard, Played Baseball
Where Money Prize Was
Given-Haskeu Game.


The talk of the university yesterday
was all about the Mueller case No Off
cial statement was given out, but it is
understood that the investigation thus
far made indicates that the charges
against the Dig guard are true, and he
will have to be ruled out. Inc university
committee, it is said, Will not wait for
further developments, but will withdraw
Mueller at once, and begin to try out new
men for the position. While it will be
no easy matter to fill MueIlerS place at
so late a day, yet the rooterS say that
Williams Will hnd a way out, and they
have no fear that the team will be ma
teriaIly weakened. However, Wisconsin
cannot exult overmuch at Minnesota
discontinue 1t is claimed that evidence
has been discovered that Schrieber, who
last year prayed at fullback on the Bad
ger team. and VINO is being tried at left
tackle AMI left guard this year. played
with the Mineral Point baseball team last
year in a contest at that place for a
purse of SIS. This is given out on relia-
bic authority, and it is said that Schneider
VIZ have to go. AS matter of fact, If
thorough Investigation was made, it
would be discovered that few football
players are wholly free from the faint
of professionalism as the present rule
defines it. Most all of the football play
ers are baseball players as well, and play
with the local teams in their home towns
during the summer vacation. While they
do not do this as a procession, or means
of livelihood. they do receive some COM
pensation. although not stated salary.
The rules are at fault in that they make
no distinction between the men who make
sport a profession as a means for ltvel1-
hood, and those who, without any inten-
ton Of professionalism, or of playing for
the money there is In It, nevertheless
participate IN amateur palI games where
prizes are offered the clucs competing.
Great interest is beInG manifested in
the Saturday game with the Haskell In
dams Those best able 10 judge say that
the red men will put up very game
fight, and that the game will be inter-
esting and exciting. The Indians are
speedy, and may be expected to attempt
to circle the Minnesota ends. The follow
ing special from Lawrence will be of in
terest:
The practice of the Haskell Indian
football squad was a sight worth seeing.
There were forty men out in suits, and
for nearly an hour before the regular
signal practice began the men were busy
kicking the leather. Special attention
was paid to trys for field goals. Baine
kicked several pretty goals from the thlr-
ty-yard line, and Dugan and Falls also
made some nice kicks. The next thing
was practice for the line men. The four
teen heaviest men were lined up against
each other, and Coach Ellick gave them
some valuable instructions concerning the
way to meet The line bucks of the Mime
sofas. The men were especially urged to
go low and all charge at once when the
ball is snapped. The thing most feared
by the Indians is the line bucking, and
it is believed that if the line will play
like it did tonight there is little to be
feared from that quarter
When the team lined up for signal
practice every man was in his place and
seemed anxious to work. The time was
devoted largely to end runs of various
kinds. Some very clever fakes were
practiced, as the team played them so
smoothly that it seemed almost impossi-
BILE for the play to fail to net big gains.
The interference on the regular halfback
runs around the ends was beautiful
exhibition. The tackles and ends are
used in the interference, so that there
are five men besides the man with the
ball in the play.
."That interference will smash the life
out of any end that ever breathed; said
the coach enthusiastically, and 1t GER
tainly seemed that it was the truth On
line bucks the team needs put little
coaching, and for that reason little time
was devoted to that tonight. The en-
tire practice was characterized by the
accuracy with which the plays were
made and the speed with Winch all the
men got around. The team starts on It's
time that remains for practice is very
limited. Tomorrow night the first team am
will lineup against all the scrubs FOR
the purpose of getting practice on de-
fenSiVe playing.
The Haskell men are confident of win
ming from Minnesota. They rece gnize
the fact that the GoPhers play great gre at
Haskell has ever met. but they are pre-
pared to put up the game s Of 1 their y egd
with Haskell last year, will meet the
team in Minneapolis, and will probably,
play in the game. John Cal. the Haskell
center, who formerly played center and
guard with the Gophers, and who has
been watching the progress of the Mn
nesotans. says that the Indians have the
strongest team and will. win the game.
The local football enthusiasts are gaining
confidence in the Indians, and several Of
them will accompany the redskins with
a view of backing them if any big ODDS
are offered. 1t is reported that ~, Mn
nesotans are willing to bet that Haskell
will not score, and there will be plenty OF
takers for such money.
