Beat Michigan Saturday
New York Sun Special Service.
Madison, Wis, Nov. lathe Wis
consin football team left for Michigan
this morning, strongly hopeful Of win
ming Saturdays game. Wisconsin's
spirit is proverbial, but it has never
heen stronger than it is to-day The
determined, hopeful spirit of the men
was greatly strengthened by the rous-
ing send-of they received in the
morning. The Daily Cardinal. the Of
fetal paper of the university, came
out yesterday with a strong appeal to
every student to climb out Of bed
early in the morning and show his
Wisconsin spirit by cheering the fell
lows as they leave, and make every
one of them feel that we are watch
ing him and depending on him to
WIN.
The coaches and trainers are fully
as hopeful as the members of the
team. The fact that Wisconsins goal
line has not been crossed by straight
football playing this season, while
Michigan's has, strengthens the hope
ful feeling here.

was fierce and fast, and showed that
physically all of the men are in fine
form and condition.
In choosing the lineup of the team
that will represent Wisconsin against
Michigan, Coach Curtis is advancing
on the determination that the game

| For the position of fullbaek there are
three men who are likely all to be
used. instructions will be to play
yourselves out and give a fresh man a

are all expected to play at fullback.
It Is a matter Of prayer that Jcj,
Fogg may be able to play the entite
/ game at quarterback, for he is the
general of the Wisconsin team, is
playing the best game of his life now
| and, more important than all, Curtis
has not a good man to take Fogg's
/ place. The substitutes are Cecil
Schneider and Ed Jones. but neither
is desirable in comparison with Fogg
At left halfback Vanderboom will
start, and he is expected to give place
to Burkhardt and perhaps the latter
will go out to give Clark a chance il
the part of the game. Wrabetz anG
Robinson will play right halfbacl and
they are expected to go as fast and al
hard as would the heavy Haskell In.
