MADISON, Wis, Oct. 22.-The faculty
of the University of Wisconsin, through
the athletic council, has formally APP
play on the Badger football team. This
is Notwithstanding, and, in fact follow
ing almost Immediately upon, the declar-
alton by the amateur association regis
tration committee in Chicago, that Saw
age is to be considered as a professional
having played on baseball team with
professionals.
The athletic council met to pass upon
the eligibility of number of players sub
mitted by Coach Curtis, among the num-
Der being Savage. He was approved with
the rest.
The attitude of the Wisconsin faculty,
although being avowedly in favor OF
.'pure" athletics and strict amateurism,
is not far from the stand taken by Di-
the charges and professionalizing Of
Eckersol the star quarterback of the
Maroons. Wisconsin is disposed to allow
the amateur union to do the suspension act
to the top of it's bent and will not place
the ban on athletics on improved charges
or extreme application of the rules of the
amateur association
The accident last year, Nov. 1. on the
occasion of the Michigan Wisconsin
game, when scores of people were more or
less injured in the collapse of the bleach
sin athletic field, if the authorities here
can prevent it
The accident in Chicago was mighty ex-
pensive to the management of the two
teams and the settlement of the cases
brought for personal injuries, it was an
nounced, cost several thousand dollars.
Much of the blame for this was last winter
laid upon thrifty" Chicago attorneys who,
it was said, suggested the damage suits to
the people who were in the accident.
President Van Hise and University
Architect J. Il. w. Jennings have been
instructed by the athletic council to ex-
anime the plans for the new spectators
stands to be erected at Camp Randall for
the Chicago and Minnesota games and de-
termine surely if the specifications call
for sufficiently strong structures.
A unique feature of the Chicago-Wis-
consin game Oct 81 is to be organized
roofing by a throng of hundreds of car
dinaI co-eds. A section of the grand stand
has been reserved for the girls and they
will hold mass meeting of their own.
at which yells and songs will be drilled
and -mistresses chosen to lead the
noise. The nucleus of the undertaking
comes from the dornitory of the Wiscon-
sin women, Chadbourne hall. The co-eds
here are enthusiastic on the subject of
roofing and have prevailed upon Manager
Fitzpatrick for the reservation of a sec
ton of seats for feminine yellers to en-
courage Wisconsin. The plan seems to
peated at the Minnesota game on Thanks
giving day, If the girls do not practically
all go home for the holiday to eat turkey
with their fathers and mothers rather
than shrek at the final football game.
The low score made by the Badgers
against the osteopaths brought by Pat
O'Dea from Missouri, was due in part to
the weight and activity of the visitors,
part to the absence of strong members of
the regular Wisconsin team and partly
due to the poor physical condition Of the
Badgers. Training has not been entirely
successful and effective. Some of the
wisconsin men have been out of nights.
have kept late hours and the work on the
campus seems to use them up quickly.
Coaches Curtis and Mccarthy are ex-
pected to soon make an example OF
training breakers. They have made sew
era1 night trips to student resorts about
the city to see if any of the players are
'tbreaking OUT
