BADGERS Bet Even Money.

Madison, Wis. Oct. S1.-The Wisconsin
football men last night held their final
practice preparatory to the big game with
Michigan In Chicago tomorrow and left
for the scene of battle at 8 o'clock this
morning, determined to return bearing
their shields, or upon them.
A feeling Of confidence that victory will
rest With the badgers prevails In all quar-
tors and If careful, conscientious training,
united with unfaltering courage and spirit
counts for anything. the Wisconsin team
has a GOOD chance to carry off the honors.
The students are already showing their
faith in the team by laying even money
on Wisconsin. A Michigan alumnus liv-
Ing in Chicago wrote a hotel man here
last night Offering to bet $3.50 even that
Michigan would win. The offer had hard
1y been received before several business
men had 1t covered and wired the offer to
raise the wager $500. This the Michigan
man declined to do. A number Of smaller
bets at even money have been made.
There Is a general feeling, however, that
the Wisconsin hackers will be able to get
better than even money before the game
starts.
Wisconsin's chances Of winning seemed
to be bit brighter Wednesday than they
are to-day. This is due to the fact that
Captain Juneau was injured In the scrin-
mage Wednesday night and was compelled
to use cane to-day. The injury is to one

though it will handicap him somewhat
and may prevent him from playing
through the entire contest.
In addition to this bit Of hard knock it
was admitted last night that Driver, the
star fullback, Is not in condition to go into
the game. The loss Of Captain Juneau and
Driver for any portion of the game will

During the first three rounds O'Brien took the
initiative, devoting most Of his attention to
Maher's face. He used his left to good advan-

on the head and neck with right-hand swings to
his opponents stomach.
In the fourth round there lively ex,

in the last round. Maher delivered a smashing
blow on O'Brien's eye and both countered on the
jaw. Each played for the face during the entire
round. In the early part of the contest Maher
tried body blows, but found them ineffective and
followed O'Brien's example by leading for tha

To-morrow's Battle.
Hard Luck Tales Come From Both
DEMONSTRATING on Contest
Is Brisk.
To-MoRRow's LINEUP.

On the eve Of the great gridiron battle
between Wisconsin and Michigan, hard
luck tales come from both Of the rival
camps. Badgers deplore the fact that
Driver and Juneau are lncapacitated and
though these men may play a part Of
to-morrow's game. they cannot do them
selves justice. Michigan mourns because
Maddox Is prevented from entering the
game by boil. The reports from Ann Ar
Dor are OF such pessimistlc character as
to indicate either that the wolverines are
losing their confidence. or that they have
adopted Wisconsin press agent tactics.
Michigan's back field and ends are ex-
psoted to do most of the work tomorrow
against the badgers. The wolverine line
10 said to be unreliable. Wisconsin,, on
the other hand, will put her dependence
upon the line. Her backfeld Is fast but
green.
About two hundred persons will leave
for Chicago tonight on various roads, al
though no special rate has been announced
by any line Betting continues fairly
brisk In Minneapolis, although Michigan
men are more shy about giving odds than
they ware day or two ago. This is
partly due to the fact that odds do not
seem to be justified and partly to the fact
that badger sympathizers Will cover even
money.

. Great Enthusiasm at Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Although there Is a
football game on the schedule for this
afternoon, practically all the interest Of
football followers in this part of the ooun-
try turns on the game to be played at
Marshall field tomorrow afternoon.
Northwestern and Purdue play this after
noon at the West Side ball park, but this
game is almost lost sight of In the in
terest in the meeting Of Michigan and
Wisconsin Saturday.
The trouble threatened by Stages
scheduling the Beloit- Chicago game for
Saturday morning has melted away. The
maroon's coach has announced that If the
game between his team and Beloit is at
all likely to spoil the gridiron it will be
played on the east field and not across the
chalk lines over which the wolverines and
badgers will battle in the afternoon.
Marshall field will be in the best possible
condition for the big game and great pre-
parations have been made for what is
likely to be the record attendance In this
part Of the country this season. .,.
Both Wisconsin and Michigan are In the
finest condition for the contest. They
have finished their practice and will do
practically nothing from now until they
line up. Michigan is still the favorite but
it Is very likely that by Saturday the
betting will be close to even.

Minnesota will meet an old rival to-
nell eleven clash on Northrop field. The
little Iowa team has twice defeated Min
nesota, once in '95 by a score Of 6 to 4,
and once in '98, by a score of II to 6.
This year Grinnell has very light
team, averaging less than $50 pounds.
With handicap of twenty pounds to the
man against them, the Iowans still hope
to hold Minnesota to a smaller score than
the Gophers made against Iowa. Paul
Trait, the old Wisconsin quarterback, is
coaching the visitors. The team Is ex-
pected to arrive in Minneapolis this even
ing at $40 over the Minneapolis & st.
Louis road.
Other Games UnImportant.
Outside of the Michigan Wisconsin con-
test, none of the western football games
tomorrow arouses much attention. Chi
cago, on her present form, will run up a
big score upon Beloit, as will Minnesota
upon Grinnell. Northwestern should win
from Purdue If the Purple team has any
thing left in it. Purdue Is generally be-
lieved to be demoralized. Illinois will
easily defeat Indiana, though the score
may not be large.
The Iowa-Ames game will arouse some
local interest. Ames wants the state
championship, and if she defeats S. U, 7.
will have a fair title to it, in spite Of her
defeat by Cornell last Saturday. The lat
ter contest was a. great surprise in view of
the previous good record of the Ames men.
