Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-09-20

Fleischer, the big guard and Wiscon-
sins ablest punter, since the days of
"Pat" O'Dea, and number of other
important and experienced candidates.
Various elements have entered into
the diminishing of the squad, promi-
ent among which are sickness, profit
able employment, and hunting geo.
logical trips. Those men who are de-
prived of the early training provided
by the preliminary practice, will it is
thought, not make good in time for
the Chicago game. This is considered
important as the situation at the Uni
vers1ty seems to be, "Beat Chicago and
both Michigan and Minnesota are
backed off the board; lose the Chicago
game and the whole season is a fail
ure."
BUSH AFTER MOUNTAIN LIONS
Manager Downer announces that he
has not been able to establish COM
munications with at least Is candi-
dates and consequently his invitations
to attend the preliminary training at
Marinette have been ignored. Bush is
on a hunting trip in the mountainous
regions of Colorado. Inquiries made
concerning him have brought the an
swer from friends that the forme r
Badger football captain was on the
trail of mountain lions 200 miles from
Geographic communications. Bush
does not know of the arrangements
made by Coach King and Manager
Downer for early training and it is
feared that unless he reports for
practice soon, he will find it impossible
to get into condition for the Chicago
game. Bertke has job which he can
not give up until University registra-
ton time, Sept 26, less than a month
before the Chicago game. Melzner,
last years promising candidate for
quarterback and Donovan, the heavy
aggressive guard, are somewhere In
Montana and have not been heard
from, while Nordenholt, a promising
candidate for full back, is on an
Alaskan mining engineering trip.
Roseth, the recently acquired fresh
man from Eau Claire, who is eligible
to play on the team, having been at
the university during last summer is
being held back from practice by rela-
tives on account of the death Of his
father. Cummings, last years candi-
date for quarterback, who won fame
by his phenomenal pitching on the
varsity nine last spring, has been in ill
health all summer and will be out of
condition and valueless on the squad.
Fleischer, has definitely announced
that he will 60 to the Michigan camp
and try his fortunes under the wolver-
inc colors. The big punter had SER
ious difficulties with his studies at tie
University; in fact he was known to be
conditioned in our subject, and en-
ticing inducements were made to him
by Captain Norcross after personal
interview at Lake Geneva. The result
was that Fleischer decided to enter
the University of Michigan this fall.
There is still lingering hope in the
Badger camp that if the proper repre-
sensations are made him he may be
prevailed upon to stay at Wisconsin.

REMP AND ROBINSON BACK.
One OF the interesting Developments
in University athletics is the return of
Richard Remp, for three years center
rush on the varsity eleven and his
vanquished rival, Robinson. During
the football season last year Remp
and Robinson competed for the same
position on the football team. A bit
ter rivalry was ended by fist fight in
University gymnasium. It was mutual |
ly understood that the outcome of the |
fight would determine who should |
leave the University. After the episode |
Robinson suddenly disappeared. Re-
Gently Remp announced that under no
circumstances would he return to the |
University. When this become known,
Robinson decided that since the field
was clear, he would return and try for
center. Remp, however, changed his
mind and showed up for practice at
Marinette.
