Randall after the game and thai Bill
lee the Badger will have to dig a deeper
hole than any he has yet attempted,
and think that it is doubtful if he gets
out by this time next year."
Wisconsin Has No Fears.
While there may be some truth to the
ardent Gophers' claims, which in all prob
ability represent the general confidence
that is felt at Minnesota as to the out
come of the game, it is certain that ne
Gees not know exactly whereof he
speaks. Minnesota will outweigh Wis
consin in all departments of the team,
vet weight does not mean supremacy and
| confidence does not mean victory. Show
has not been outplayed so far this sea-
son, and there is no reason Why he should
not be able to take care of his posi-
ton in the Minnesota game this year as
well as he did last year. Lerum and
Schneider at the guards will take care
of their positions, and the Minnesota man
who succeeds in outplaying Lerum will
have good cause to feel proud of himself.
Curtis is recognized as the best tackle in
the West and few gains will be made
over him. Haumersen, on the opposite
tackle position, will be the one at whom
the heavy mass plays of Minnesota Will
be directed, and it is the reinforcing of
this position that has been worrying
Coach KING. Haumerson is the only new
man in the line, and his inexperiencse in
the position will count against him. His
Improvement since the Beloit game has
been marked, however, and the week of
hard practice that is yet to come viii
put him on an even footing with the
Minnesota man that is to play against
him. Larson will be played on that side
of the line on defensive work, and the
big gains that the Minnesota man saw in
his dreams will be few and far between.
Abbott, at end, is one of the most daring
players in the history Of Wisconsin foot
ball. and while it is possible that he may
not last the entire game, owing to the
injury that he received early in the sea-
son, Daum, who is to take his place.
is a worthy successor to the responsible
tiles of the position. Juneau will have
the hardest problem of all when he meets
Rogers. the former captain of the Carlisle
Indian school team. Juneaus playing this
year has been of high order, and the
only time that any distance has been
made around his end was in the game
against Nebraska, when he was drawn
in on a double pass that Melted Nebraska
forty yards.
King Has New Plays to Use.
Back of the line Wisconsin has a
stronger field of runners and all-round
players than ever before. Larson,
Cochems and Driver met Minnesota last
year, and the three are playing a better
game than at that time. Special at
tention has been paid to the running
game, yet all Badger efforts will not be
along that line, and many new mass
plays that have not been used so far this
season will be tried on Minnesota. And
in that style of play, as in the open rum
ming game, the idea will not be to con-
centrate an enormous amount of weight
at a point where it is to be expected. but
to mobilize a medium amount of power
quickly at a point where it is least eX-
pected.
Minnesotas general system Of play will
be well understood by the varsity play
ers, as their work for the next week will
consist largely in defensive work against
those plays. Coach King has been to
Minneapolis three times this year, and
has seen the work there, and under
stands it thoroughly in all it's variations.
He has drilled the scrub team in the
mass formations that will be sent against
Wisconsin one week from Saturday.
Enthusiasm on the part of the student
body, and on the part of the Wisconsin
sympathizers will not be lacking, and
extensive preparations are being made to
organize the noise makers, so as to make
every effort count.
Little betting has been done as yet, and
present indications are that Wisconsin
money will not make its appearance until
the game begins. The reports that
come from Minneapolis Indicate that
there is a great deal of confidence on the
part of the business men there, and that
a great deal of their money will be in
Madison looking for takers at the time
OF the game. Whethers or not that
money finds any takers will depend upon
the showing made by the team in the last
week of practice and the condition of
the men on the day preceding the game
