and the Wolverines.
Juneau, the great right end and cap
tain of the wisconsin football team, who
was in Minneapolis recently, talked in
terestingly of the football outlook for
the coming season. Juneau regards the
Michigan team as the strongest, on paper
at least, at the present time. He was
non-committal in regard to Wisconsin's S
prospects,, but admitted that the loss of
several of the stars of last years eleven
would be greatly felt. .r
wisconsin will lose Larson, Curtis
Cochems and probably :Skow and Driver
said Juneau THAT takes two of the best
men in the line, and practically the whole
back field: 1t will be no easy matter to
replace these men, Off Curtis and Larson
were recognized by every one as the best
tackle and half. back In the west, while
the other three men, were far above the
average of western: players last year.
Michigan has most of her old men back,
and Minnesota also, understand will be
strong. L think that these three teams,
as last year, will fight out the champion
ship among themselves. Wisconsin has
a number of good: men from last years
second team, and have no fear that we
will be out OF the: race, although it Is
impossible to make any accurate predic-
tions in regard to the exact outcome of
the seasons play" 49,:
