Madison, Wis. Oct 24-The badger team does
not show that there has been anything but the
greatest harmony in connection with sWiscon.
sin athletics. Whatever differences may have
existed, all are forgotten now in preparation for
the coming big games with Michigan and Mime
sofa.
At present everything seems to be coming we'll
for the squad; there are few cripples and the
men are becoming faster and more versatile
with each practice. New spirit seems to be
given to the men since the faculty has decided
that Vanderboom was eligible This puts five
of the veterans In the game, Captain Bush, Find
lay Remp, Bertke and Vanderboom. ALL of the
men are very strong in their positions and the
other places are filled by heavy, fast men, who
are playing high-class football.
The general sentiment among badger sup
porters Is that this is the to even up
things with the gophers and Michigan. The
Michigan team comes to Madison Saturday, and
Wisconsin will have the advantage of playing at
home. The team is much stronger than last
year. while Michigan Is no better, If not weaker,
and with the improvement Of another week it
ia thought that Wisconsin will be more than able
to overcome the difference Of sixteen points by
which Michigan won last year.
Bertke is, perhaps. the best man in the line.
Last year he was selected as all-western guard,
he is playing a star game. II He Is very strong
on both offense and Defense and by his spec
tacular work promises to make all kinds of
trouble for his opponents and again win posi-
Kinney, Perry and Brindlay are candidates for
the other tackle position. Brindlay played well
in saturdays game and the coaches promise
that this position will be we'll taken care Of by
the time the big games are played. Last year g
experience has taught Remp much about playing
center, and he is playing a smashing defense
game. With Donovan and Stromquist at guards,
there should be very little ground made thru the
center Of the line. Stromquist Is very strong
man offense and will probably be called upon
to carry the ball.
- At ends, Captain Bush and Find1ay seem to
have everything their own way Both. are fast
and experienced, and on defense are covering
lots of ground, and stopping everything that
comes their way Either can carry the ball
we'll offense. Bush has the greater expert
ence, while Findlay has the weight.
In the back6eld, Vanderboom is easily the
star. He has all the qualities Of a great half
back and is playing with fine dash and spirit
He is equally strong in bucking the line with
the ball smashing interference defense
His positive return to the game is the best
news that could have been brought to the uni
versity students.
Jones, at quarter, is another great favorte
with the rooters, and is playing a remarkable
game for his first year. If he continues his ex
cellent work. he will be one of the best quarter
backs that Wisconsin has ever produced.
Clark, at full, and Wrabetz and Grogan, al
right half, are good men and fully up to varsity
standard. p"E ''~ ~: .
Everything Indicates that wisconsin. will have
a great team this year. and there is much rea
son in the strong confidence with which the car
dinal enthusiasts supporting their team.
