PRACTICE AT WISCONSIN
Only, Five OF Last Years Regulars Are
. Expected Back.


Madison. Wis, Sept. 1S-Candidates for
the Wisconsin football team were given
their first drill at tackhng the dummy
Wednesday afternoon. This Is the first
work which gets the men accustomed to
the jar of a collision. and gets their mus
Giles set, In preparation for scrmmage
practice, which will probably begin next
week. ~
Thirty seven men were out, and after
tackling the dummy half dozen times
each. they were divided into squads and
put thru the formations at a lively pace.
Captain Abbott was in the work for the
first time. Fogg and Bertke were the only
other regular members Of last years team
who were OUT. Bush Is expected In a day
or two, and Vanderboom, who Is here
will be at work as soon as he gets thru
tackling his law books and passes a couple
Of exams" These five comprise all Of
last years regulars who are expected,
tho Findlay, Milman, Wrabetz. Bartlett,
Remp, Kuhmsted and Cecil Schneider, Of
last years second division. are on deck.
There Is plenty Of new material, also,
from which to fill the places of the alb
sentees, but whether the new men can
make good" In varsity company Is still
to be determined. Remp and Larish are
working hard for Shows place at center,
and will have an active competitor in Roy
Chamberlain, who Is expected soon.
Bertke, Price and Millman lead in the
contest Tor guard positions; M1llman has
still to qualify in a study also. Washer,
who comes from Missouri, and Findlay,
are the present principal contestants for
tackle. Abbott and Bush will undoubt-
eddy hold their old positions at end. Fogg
has some good competition at quarter
back in Cecil Schneider and Jones, but
has the advantage Of experience. proven
ability and good head work. Balm and
yanderboom have the call on the halfback
positions; Balm still takes too long a
stride, but otherwise is coming fast; Hurd
Of Eau Claire, Wrabetz, Kuhmsted and
Jones are among the leading candidates
for the back field. Perry Of Rice Lake
Hetzel and Snyder are contestants for
Drivers place at fullback.

Chicago Has a cinch.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Chcago, 40; Englewood, O.
Such was the final result Of the first game Of
football af the 1908 season, played on Marshall
field yesterday afternoon. Two elevens were
used by Coach Stage, the eleven sent in for the
second half being entirely new excepting for
Captain Ellsworth and Parry.
The of the practice game which the
Maroon candidates played against Englewood
on practically the same date last year was 5
to o. The difference in the scores Of these
two games is commentary enough on the quality
of Stages experienced material of this year,
and shows that the Midway coach may soon start
drilling a first varsity eleven In team work and
the finer points Of the game.
The schoolboys played plucky game. but
were never In the running for moment, and
never even threatened the Maroon goal.

The gridiron of the new field was ready
for use some weeks ago, and the big

working on the brick wall around the
field to-day. and the contractor has prom
ised that 1t will be completed by noon
tomorrow.
The new field Is unquestionably one Of
the finest In the country, and, all things

The lineup announced for tomorrow
causes no surprise. as the positions had
already been decided by the rooters in
their own minds. A number of the subs

WRIGHT GETS DATA
OF FRANCHISE TAXES.

Atlanta, Jan. 13.-Controller General
w. A. Wright, in answer to requests,
has received large quantity of liter
allure relating to the subject of fran
chise taxation and the method of COL
Letting the tax on franchises from the
states of Illinois, New York and Penn
sylvania, three of the states in which
the franchise tax system is or has been
of force. The Controller General says
he has not yet had time to examine
into the methods employed in the, diff
ferent states, and will not do so until
he hears also from Ohio and Kentucky.
These five states. together with Geor-
gia. are the only ones in the United
States that have so far adopted regular
franchise tax laws, it is said.
1t is not believed the decision of the
New York Supreme Court, knocking
out the franchise tax law In that state
will have any effect on the Georgia
law. The operations under the Georgia
law do not begin until May l., when
the returns have, to be made.
