Madison, Wis, Sept. 24.-Coaches Curtis,

a little aggressiveness into his play at guard,
and evidently expected that he will develop.
Forester substitute end two years ago, is
back, considerably heavier than at that time.
The difficult, task which the coaches have
ahead in satisfactorily filling up the vacant
line positions becomes daily more evident. Find

play rings around any of the new men at tackle.
1t seems only question of time when he will
be moved back to his old place. Claire, who
was reported from Evanston as being dissatisfied
with conditions at Madison, was back again In
Wisconsin suit yesterday.
The men were given the signals Thursday and
used them for the first time in running thru their
formations yesterday. Only simple plays were
used, but more effort was made to get speed,
and the work was more like football. =,

NORTH SIDE WON
The FIRST GAME
No Chance to Draw Lines on
Ability Of High School
Teams.
By Kit.


The first high-school victory of the season
was won by North Side against alumni team
yesterday, at the North grounds, by score OF
10 to 0. A drizzling rain and high thermome-
ter took the edge off Of fast play, but the boys
showed that they have material which can be
pounded into a speedy team if there is NO let
up in the work.
When the crowd reached the field, it found
that the alumni team was shy six men. But
the regulars were out for game, and the best
men on the second team were put into the
game to fill the vacant places. 1t was decided
to play ffteen-minute halves and the game
started with rush. After few minutes Of
play, Marks went over the line for a touch
down. The goal not kicked The alumni
then took brace, but in spite of hard fight

The second half was battle, the alumni
trying to wash out the lead and the regulars
trying to roll up "a, higher score. The result
For the alumni, Coach George Nye made many
of the gains, and the other backs lent him good
interference. For the regulars, Captain Ertle
played heady game at quarter and was ably
