: Situation-King Says He Will .
Really Retire This Time.

Football celebrities massed Saturday
night in the West hotel lobby and dozens
Of enthusiasts attended, picking up stray,
crumbs of wisdom as they fell from the
lips Of the experts. achl King Of Wis
consin, Yost of Michigan, Fudge Hef-
felfinger. Captain Juneau Of. Wisconsin,
Rinehart Of Lafayette, the referee, and
Phil Allen Of Chicago, the umpire, in~the
Minnesota Illinois game, were among the
notables who delivered themselves from,
time to time Of opinions upon the west
ern situation. =
King fairly ,gasped when, he was told
at Northrop field of the score made by
Michigan against Iowa. Upon returning
to the hotel he expressed his astonish
ment in unmeasured terms, Looks like
a New York clearing house statement,
doesn't it," said King. 'Those Michigan
scores are getting so high that they don't
mean anything. 81.
You may think our score Of 81 against
Northwestern disapproves the stories of
the slump taken by our team during the
week. Well. it doesn't. We ought to
have beaten Northwestern 100 to 0.
II see the papers are INDUCING in their
little jokes about my annual retirement
as they call it. Well, this time 1t is really
on the square, and 1 shall not be at Wis
consin another season. 1t is pretty hard
to break away, though"
King spoke highly Of the work OF
Schacht and Harris in Saturdays game.
Hasn't that man: ,Scha chit picked up?'
he exclaimed. He has improved fully 100
per cent since last year. Harris is a
very fast man, in fact, he is SO good that
I would just as soon not see him play
next Saturday. -
"That Illinois team does play good foot
ball, though, and they are one Of the
gamest losing teams I have ever seen. IT
was just the same this year as it has
been before, Minnesota beef doing the
work. You say your team doesn't out
| weigh Illinois, but to me there appeared
to be difference Of ten or fifteen pounds
to the man in favor of the gophers." -
Yost expressed satisfaction over the
! work done by his pupils against Iowa.
| Great Scott!' he said when he heard the
| total of 1O7, someone must have missed
a. goal Perhaps there was a field goal.
That makes our total for the season ,537
and we will run it way over 600 before the
end of the year. We will score over 100
on Oberlin if. our men play in their best
form, for Oberlin is pretty weak.",' :.
! During the game Yost was overheard
to remark that his team would beat Min
nesota 50 to 0. In this he dfsagrees with
Heffelf1nger, who said Saturday night that
Michigan would not score more than l.
points on Minnesota. and that the WOW
| crimes would have to hurry some to dc
! that well. ;:.. -. :. ..'
Juneau of wisconsin, While declining to
express any opinion for publication, I'd
to a friend that he thought Wisconsin
Iwo,ld defeat Minnesota byj eighteen
points. Coach King says that the speedy
captain will not, play with the. badgers
| next Saturday. "
Juneau is still suffering from the bad
knee he got at Chicago" said King. land
he would not last FIVE minutes in the
game. 1 would rather save him for. the
Chicago game than. to have him in few
minutes against Minnesota and then lose
him for the rest of the season.
Yost says wisconsin is considerably
faster than Minnesota, but that the go
piers weight counterbalances this handi
cap Yost says that Harris was the onl!
}, gopher at the beginning Of, Saturday:
game who weighed less than 1870. Those
!. familiar with the weights Of the Mime
sofa team will smile a large smile at this
