Badgers Need Line Men.
ATaMADISON

| The prospects for good team
at the University of Wisconsin
| after the first weeks practice appear
better than they have for number OF
years. Coaches Curtis and CochemS
| refuse to discuss the men work, but
| are obviously pleased with the men
who have thus far reported for prac-
tice.
AS far as new material is concern
ed the squad looks better than that OF
last year, particularly the back field
and end candidates, but a careful
study of the new line men shows a
lack of heavy men of apparent var
sity class.
From present indications the two
most likely men for the vacant
tackle position are Conville and
Stromquist, both weighing over 100
pounds. None of the other line can
didates have thus far shown anything
to suggest that they will make varsity
tackle material For the guard posit-
ions there is no doubt that Bertke, if
he plays, will easily hold his position
on the left side of the center. For
the other guard, Donovan, the Iowa
veteran, seems to be the best in sight.
At center, Remp easily heads the
other candidates and is sure of the po-
sition, unless the coach decides to try
him at tackle or full back.
For the back field Walter Steffens,
the Chicago boy, made a favorable inn
preston, and the announcement that
he needs another years preparation
before he can enter college was a dis
appointment to the coaches. OF 9TH
er possibilities for quarterback Jones
and Meltzner are making the best
showing.
Perry and Clark, full backs last
year, are both out and are in good
condition. For half back Frankie,
Wrabetz and robinson have the ad-
vantage of considerable experience
over the newer men, and in the earl
Ter part of the season will have the
call. Contrary to the original plans
the men are practicing but once a day,
but are having in addition daily con-
ferences and tests on the rules. Acker,
back from Colorado, may have to take
another year of. preparation before
entering the university.

fact that at present the giant Rose has
not won position on the team.
The new men include half dozen,
each of whom adds a raw 200 pounds
or more of strength. Graham of North
Division, Chicago, who says he weighs
$50 pounds, has caught Yost's eye. He
has speed and never quits going. He
is the sort of young mountain which
in former teams Yost has wheeled into
the position of guard, with the know
ledge of a few simple tricks that made
the great weight impregnable. Stewart,
another new man, who punts so yards
with ease. is being worked hard at
quarter. Forgy and Schultz are two
new freshmen, weighing 1876 and 200
pounds reSpectiveIy $3.50

New York, Sept. 2O.-Beldame added an
other stake to her already long list by
easily winning the first special, Ia miles,
at Gravesend. Beldame went to the front
at the start and led her field by length
as she passed the stand the first time
around. Around the paddock into the back
stretch she raced with a lead of two
third. Rounding the far turn Beldame
drew away from her field. Caughnawaga
attempted to catch the leader in the
stretch, but without avail, and Beldame
finished under the wire an easy winner

feated favorite in the Futurity, won the
