It was a case Of beauty in distress
with a vengeance when Findley made
that eighty-yard run for Wisconsin s
costly touchdown. The beauty in the
case was a fair Minneapolitan in the
crimson bedecked rooter, The fair Ski
UNA supporter was arraye in the gay
est of maroon and gold costumes and
carried large bunch of patriotic chrys-
anthemums. When Findley broke away
the two young people rose from their
seats in common with everyone else in
the big stands. AS he crossed the COW
eted goal line the Wisconsin supporter
jumped in the air with wildly swinging
arms and as he landed he gave one
whoop and then in an ecstatic burst, of
emotion threw his arms about his fair
companion and lifted her from the floor.
! A frightened shrek resulted. but, not
satisfied with this demonstration, the
excited rooter grabbed the maroon and
gold flowers and with hideous yell
threw them, ribbons and all, into the
yelling mob below. Then he came to
and, from expressions. more flowers and
candy; only could eradicate the memory
of his misbehavior.
| Minnesota band was not defeated,
anyway. The badgers organization was
strong on playing ragtime and There III
j be hot time in the old town tonight,
but when they tried other numbers they
were outclassed by the gophers. Both
bands paraded the field between halves.
| The Wisconsin music makers, with their
picturesque cardinal regahas, made
pleasing sight and were roundly ap-
| plauded, but the real enthusiasm came
| when the Ski Nah IS did the parade
stunt and made some real music.
| Society in it's gayest array was at
Northrup field yesterday. The cltyDs
fair made brilliant spectacle and the
delicate and striking colors of feminine
attire lighted up the great stands and
mingled with the college colors to make
a scene, the brilliancy of which has
seldom, if ever, been equaled in Mime
apolis history. And society forgot ITS
company manners and jumped up and
down and yelled shrill yells of com.
mendation and admiration or shrieked
it's disapproval on every occasion.
The badgers, reinforced by Mime
apolitans with badger sympathles,
made the finest kind of showing.
They were not punched In any stand,
but the brilliant cardinal was inter,
mingled with the maroon and gold
everywhere and there was Wisconsin
spirit enough for an argument any
Where gopher wanted to say things.
The men from Madison did their share
Of the yelling, too. They had real yell
captains and under their direction the
! locomotive U-Rah-Rah was fully equal
at most stages of the performance to
the less resonant Ski-U-Mahs. Perhaps
they had more chance to yell.
A touching evidence Of the college
girls LOYALTY was given by the Girls
+ University Roofing brigade in their
section Of the north stand. Long after
I! their team had left the field defeated
and the Wisconsin, band and its zig
tagging followers were making the
evening hideous on the field, this loyal
NAMED in their place and with piercing
and continuous Ski-U-Mahs shrieked
defiance at their hereditary foes, male
and female, and gave proof that
"woman will always have the last
word. -

some fifty wearers of cardinal formed
back of the Wisconsin band and did
real zig-zag stunt. Again at the end
of the game larger number of yelling,
/ jumping, singing, dancing badgers gave
another exhibition The gophers seemed
to have forgotten or to have outgrown
such childish expressions of their feel
ings-or perhaps they didn t have ths
feelings.
