It was case of beauty in distress
with a vengeance when Flndley made
that eighty-yard run for Wisconsin s
costly touchdown: The beauty 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 ecstatlc burst or
emotion threw his arms about his fair
companion and lifted her from the floor.
A frightened shrek resulted. but, not
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

candy only could eradicate the memory
Of his misbehavior.
Minnesota's band was not defeated,
anyway. The badgers organization was
strong on playing ragtime and 'There ~

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 regalias, made
pleasing sight and were roundly ap-
plauded, but the real enthusiasm came
when the Ski-U-Mah's did the parade
stunt and made some real music.
a
Northrup field yesterday. The city's
fair made a 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 it's
company manners and jumped up anu
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 sympathies,
made the finest kind of a 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 20
the less resonant Ski-U-Mahs. Perhaps
J thew had more chance to yell.
A touching evidence Of the college

University Roofing brigade in their

some fifty wearers of cardinal formed
back of the Wisconsin band and did a
real zig-zag stunt. Again at the end
of the game larger number of yelling,
