MADISON, Wis, Nov. S.-Interest in
football Is fast approaching fever heat.
The game occupies the spare time OF
everyone, and but little else is considered
in the capital city. The practice not only
attracts a great many spectators, but a
large number are playing football. Each
fraternity has its team and nearly all OF
the classes are represented on the grid
iron
The electrical engineers will play the
junior laws Saturday morning at 10
o'clock, and the school of commerce has
team it is willing to match against any
ether class team.
But the greatest interest surrounds the
varsity football squad Early every
afternoon Coach King loads his men in
two buses and takes them out into the
country for secret practice, and they do
not return until nearly o'clock. Tomor-
row it is announced that the practice will
begin even earlier, or at o'clock. Each
evening the men are also put throug-i a
two-hour signal practice in the gym
nasium to make them more proficient in
the use of the new signals.
These two facts alone are enough to
awaken the curiosity of all persons inter
ested in the outcome of the Wisconsin
Minnesota game, but when Henry
Cochems and Lion Chamberlain APP
peared in town and FASTENED out to the
practice grounds to assist King in the
coaching the interest was greatly in
creased. Prof. J. F. A. Pyre was also
on the field and took hand in the coach
ing.
Great secrecy is maintained, but it can
be easily seen that King is determined
to win that game if such thing is pos
sible. He is going to work the men hard
right up to the middle of next week. To-
nights work was of an inferior quality.
The two days rest has had it's effect and
the men did not do well at all. They
were given hard scrimmage, but did not
get into it as they should. This need not
cause alarm because it is the natural re-
suit after game like the one with Ne
braska proved to be and after a rest such
as succeeded that contest.
The squad has been worked hard for the
past two nights and the game with Ames
ought to indicate if anything has been
accomplished.
Schneider has not appeared in the line
up for two or three nights and this has
caused comment He is suffering from a
swollen ear, but that is not considered
sufficient to keep him out of the game
and the wise ones are trying to figure out
how things stand. Prof. Slichter is in
Chicago, and no one else. seems to know
ing out. 1t is officially announced that
Wisconsin has not protested Mueller, but
nothing is being said concerning
Schneider
Abbott is still out of the game because
Of his leg. but both he and Fogg are COM
ing along nicely and will no doubt be in
the game with Minnesota. The lineup:
Daum, left end; Haumerson, left tackle;
Lerum, left guard; Show, center;
Webster and Deering, right guard;
Curtis, right tackle; Juneau, right end:
Lilequist, quarter; Cochems, left half;
Larson, right half; Driver, fullback
The students are parading the streets
tonight in the rain, headed by the Uni
yersity band. The occasion for this hilar-
fly is the engineer football game tomor-
row and the Minnesota game Nov. is.
Two mass-meetings We're called, one be-
ing held in the law building and the other
in the auditorium of the engineering
building. The law students appointed a
committee to arrange for a section OF
seats, devise some new songs and law
school yell.
The engineers did the same, but went
their old-time rivals one better by parad-
ing the streets with band. They march
ed to the home of Dean Johnson and
lowered the arc light on the corner into
an Illuminated sign, which bore the yell
of the class of 1903. Prof. Johnson was
called out on the porch and addressed the
students in few words. He compli-
mented them on their class spirit, and
said he was sure that Wisconsin would
win the great game, and that he for one
would not miss 1t.
The boys marched around town to the
tune of "Hot Time and finally dispersed
at the Coop
Never before has such class spirit been
shown, and this ten days before the
game.
