PICKS MINI. TO LOSE
HOLSTER Of Beloit Thinks Michigan
Will Win the Game Next
Week.
He Believes Wisconsin Will Best US,
Because Playing on Home
Field.

Jack" HOLSTER, coach of the Beloit
football team, is, the first visiting pro-
fessional student@of the game whose
team has played both Wisconsin and
Michigan this season, and his COM
ments and representations will there
fore be received with especial interest.
While disclaiming any desire to pose
as a critic or prophet, Mr.. Hollister is,
satisfied that Michigan will have the
faster and better team on Northrop
field next Saturday and will win the
game between Michigan and Minne-
sofa. He also picks Wisconsin to win
over Minnesota because wisconsin
will be playing on her own grounds,
but says that in personnel the Wiscon-
sin team is not to be compared with
Michigan. : .,,t,<5c - -. @ :.
; Two weeks ago his team was beaten
by Michigan on Ferry field;f last Sat
urday Wisconsin administered a de-
feat to the Beloit eleven on Randall
field at Madison When the game is
over this afternoon, Mr.. HOLSTER will
have seen the three big teams Of the
west play against. the same team in
three successive weeks and will prob
ably be as able to Judge of the relative
merits of the big three as any man in
terested in the western game. Wheth-
err the results of the game this after.
remains to be seem but this is what he
said at the West hotel this morning:
II think Wisconsin will beat Min
nesota because Wisconsin always plays
a great game on her own grounds and
the removal Of the game from Mil
waukee to Madison gives Wisconsin an
advantage of perhaps twelve points.
Even If Minnesota beats Michigan
the Madison game will probably 60 to
e3{r 1n -&v1v1
was case in point. At the same time
there is nothing :wolfy' about the in
juries reported to the Madison team.
With characteristic grit a Madison
man will walk off the field when he
can and when, he : is carried off it
means that. it Is an injury and not a
bruise. - - q = 49, !. .
:'Yost, who: is a great jollier and
knows that whatever he says up here
Will get into print, is quoted as Won
derlng at the remarkable speed shown
by Minnesota in the Iowa game. I
never saw anything faster than that
Michigan team and doubt If ever do.
In that. game with us, for instance,
Heston zigzagged from his interfer-
ence, made a feint at a crossbuck,
messed up the defense: and got back
to his interference all in the space of
five yards. They have never really
tIleu 1ll11l OUT. 1 never saw runner
with such wonderful control Of. him
self. And as for Curtis, one of their
big new men, he collided4 with one: of
our 190-pound men while running
down the field and threw him fifteen
yards by the simple process of letting
our man strike Curtis chest. y -
"Theys have much better Individual
material down at Michigan than. they
have at Madison. You can tell wheth-
er there is football iii a man Tor not,
and did not see the same Individual
qualities In the Wisconsin, team as
the Michigan men possess. = ~
wisconsin beat us by higher
score than did Michigan because they
had been working for two weeks on
a compact interference. which Michi-
gan had not up to the time our game
was played, paid especial attention to.
Wisconsin, was also very lucky: Six
times she fumb1ed the ball under cur
goal posts, and every time some Madi-
son man recovered it. There were sc
Epoints practically given Coach Curtis
men.
Had our team been sufficiently
schooled to play the game they were
capable of, the Michigan score would
have been about so to and the Wis.
Econsin score about 49,"
