ANOTHER WOLF STORY
Half the Wisconsin Men Are Crippled
80 14&& and the Rest Dead.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 15.-COach Cur
tbs is somewhat downhearted over the
situation in the football training quar-
ters here. His tale is one Of hard
luck, a wolf story, but one which is
true. The Wisconsin team is in the
worst physical condition it has ever
been in so short a distance Of the
hard games of the schedule.
The good Beloit team comes Satur-
day, and not only is the prospect OF
making respectable comparison score
with Michigan's 70 most dismal, but
there is a fear prevalent here that the
showing against Beloit is in danger OF
being disgraceful, if not disastrous
Beloit always braces for Wisconsin,, it
is said.
Only a few years ago the little Con-
gregatiOnal college claimed a victory
over the badgers. there being a dis
pute over the time. Later than that
Beloit held Wisconsin to to 0 and
IL to 0 scores, and has always put up
the hardest early season contest on
the cardinal schedule.
Wisconsin will doubtless lose the
services Of the crack end, Bush. He
Was late In arriving at the university,
practiced two days, and received an
injury from which he has not recov-
cred sufficiently to be able to enter the
game. His injury was sustained over
two weeks ago and he is now said to
be out practically for the season.
His place will be supplied by
Thompson, but the absence of Bush
takes from the badgers another Of the
few veterans of last years team, and
the great danger Of the youngsters
getting stage fright" in the big con-
tests is proportionately increased. This
is an element which, it is said, is wor-
rying Coach Curtis more than he is
willing to openly declare.
Another disturbing part Of the stu
alton is the injury to Joe Fogg, the
swift and plucky Wisconsin quarter
back also veteran. He has a weak
knee and a great cash over the eve.
His injuries have taken him from the
practice for a time. Cecil Schneider
is supplying his place well in prac-
tice, but lacks the experience and the
Willingness to follow interference that

~ SCORE TWICE ON YALE g.
Holy Cross Players Smear Gloom All
-. Over New Haven.

: New Haven, Oct. 15.-Drops Of woe
were poured into Yale's cup yesterday
afternoon when Holy Cross secured
two goals from the field, thereby MAX
ing the first score against Yale this
season and wiping away all possibility
OF clean slate for the Blue. The
score-Yale So, Holy Cross 10. 8"
Preston's fumbling was directly re-
sponsible for Holy Cross getting her
chance to score. The visitors made
the best of their opportunity. Each
time they got as near the Yale goal
as possible and directly in front Of it.
Under perfect conditions Reed dropped
two placement kicks between the goal
posts from the thirty-yard line and
was cheered by Yale students. More
than ever before this season, Yale's
weakness at center was noticeable.
Boomer was not in the game, owing
to a bad stomach, and Batchelder took
his place. Thru Batchelder, Roraback
and Morton, Holy Cross sent her full
back Standard. First down for
the visitors came with discouraging
frequency. They could never have
crossed Yale's goal line on straight
plunges, but their gains were the best
made against Yale this fall. The first
half gave the visitors fifteen yards on
plunges, and in the second they scored
over thirty, twenty of which were made
at one clip by Standard, who went
thru Batchelder. Shevlin was tried
successfully at rushing the ball. His
gains were consistent and he proved
hard man to tackle. Kenny was
taken out with a bad ankle, and An
dreWs, a freshman, took his place.

for downs four times, made three
fumbles at critical moments and were
penaHzed for holding several times.
The long end runs Of Foulkef and Hart
carried the ball to the seven-yard line,
when Princeton fumbled, Lehigh
kicked and the home team plowed
steadily thru to the fve-yard line and
Foulke scored. The next attempt to
score was made by Dewitt, but he
failed on drop kick Of twenty-three
yards. He heeled the ball when kicked
out, but failed to put it over from
the fve-yard line. The first half
closed with the score 6 to 0.
Princeton began the second half
with a rush. and when on the four
yard line lost the ball on a tumble.
Lehigh's kick was blocked by Foulke
and McClave scored. Lehigh got the
ball on tumble just outside Of the
seventeen-yard line, and before the
ball was brought in the quarterback
kicked and fell on the ball across the
line. The score was disputed, but
the officials did not count it because
the ball was put in play outside Of the
line.

/. Urbana, I'LL, Oct. 15.-Illinois did
better than predicted yesterday, when
the Orange and Blue eleven buried the
Chicago College of Dentistry team in
mud beneath q score Of 81 to 0. A
much lower score had been expected
from the aggregation which scored
twice on Northwestern. It is agreed
that Illinois has taken another step
forward, and that the team showed
an Improvement over the game with

The most interesting of the football
games In the west yesterday from a
Minnesota standpoint, was that be-
tween Michigan and Ohio normal, and
in spite Of the high score made by the
wolverines, the result is encouraging
to the gopher adherents. Michigan
giant forwards, for the first time this
year, faced men of nearly equal
weight, and even with the mighty
Maddox in the game, the rush line
of the wolverines Wavered several
times before the charge Of the buck
eyes. In fact, more than once the
Ohio players got thru in time to mess
up the Michigan formation. This is a
decidedly hopeful sign from local
viewpoint, for it gives assurance that
Yost's men are not invincible, and
adds color to the theory which many
critics advanced last year, that Michi-
gan would weaken if forced to play an
uphill same. The big score made in
the first half when the wolverine
regulars were all in the game, shows
that Yost's machine has not lost any
of its scoring ability.
Chicago's score against the Rush
medics was rs points smaller than
that made Saturday by Illinois
against the same team, but Chicago
began replacing her regulars by scrubs
early in the game, while Illinois
Saturday kept her first team praci-
cally intact during the game. Chi
cago's score, however, indicates, if it
indicates anything, that the maroons
are not quite as good as reported.
Illinois continues to run up big
scores, making 81 against the Chicago
dentals yesterday. Woodruff has evil
IDENTIFY developed a fast scoring team,

teams is not great 49, . s....
In the east the feature was the feat
OF Holy Cross in scoring ten points
against Yale. True, both scores were
made on kicks, but the weakness OF
Yale's center enabled Holy Cross to
get within kicking distance of Yale's
goal posts. The result indicates that
Yale is weak In the middle of the line,
and weak in substitutes. Harvard was
again scored on-by a fluke, it is true
and made rather poor score
against Wesleyan. The impression is
strengthened that the crimson eleven
IS inherently weak, and that it Is
destined to lose more than one game in
the contests to come. ..-1. II ~
Pennsylvania made a. big score
against Gettysburg, but only 4 points
bigger than Princeton made against
the same team a week ago. AS
pennsylvania started practice earlier
than Princeton, and also began it's
S~iAeuuie u pTdctlce games before
the tigers, the inference is that the
quakers are no stronger than the sons
OF old Nassau, if as strong. AS the
Quakers play only the Harvard team
of the Big Four, however, the outlook
is good for them to get thru the sea-
son with a clean record of victories.
While the score of Pennsylvania
against Gettysburg shows rather in
favor OF Princeton, the tigers only
made IL points. against Lehigh, five
less IMAM the quakers scored Oct. 8.
This shows Carl Williams team IN
rather better than Princeton. At
present Yale, Pennsylvania and
princeton appear pretty evenly
matched, the Yale is slight favorite
with most critics. Columbia made a
poor showing against Swarthmore.

once for his offense. Captain Marsh

slow in starting back, and he just
touched the ball with the tips of his
