nette, ,Sthe home Of Captain Vanderboom, for their
preliminary practice. A squad Of nearly forty
men will be taken to the northern part OF the
state and will be kept there until the opening Of
the college year. 1t is expected that training
will be we'll under way when the men return to
Madison. The game with Minnesota Nov. d
makes it necessary for Wisconsin to round into
shape early The badgers have their hearts set
on cleaning up the gophers, the opinion being
freely voiced that they would willingly lose all
the other games If they can only take the starch
out Of Coach Williams aggregation.
IF At this early date Wisconsins chances in foot
ball this fall is merely matter of speculation,
but the return Of Phil Kink has inspired con-
fdence and the prospects are considered favora-
BILE. 1t is expected Coach King will reach
Madison about the first week in September. AS
sociated with him will be Holt, former coach
of Illinois,. Holt played tackle position at
Princeton, and guard at Harvard. His time
will be devoted to the badger. line.

Eau Claire high-schoo team, will wear the
badger uniform this fall. Nordenholdt, for
mer star on the Chicago university team, will be
one Of the cardinal squad. Besides being heavy
men, both ROssctte and the old maroon payer
