N. w. u. Second Team b,
Wdyldnd Academy l9

On Oct. 10th, the second team went
to Beaver Dam to meet the beav
Wayland team on the gridiron. AL
though, Capt. Koch 8 team was out
weighe 20 lDs. to a man, they were
nevertheless victorious. 1t was an
unusually rough game because the
Wayland payers, especially their cap
tain, continually resorted to slugging
and other rough tactics, which the
officials, who were at the same time,
Wayland coaches, either failed to
see or overlooked. Wayland got the
ball On the kick off and brought the
ball IN the second teams territory.
With few yards to gam on the third
down, they made forward pass in
the center of the line Of scrimmage,
because they could not gam otherwise.
The referees attention was called to
the il egal pass but he allowed it.
This brought the ball to the five yard
line from where they carried it over.
Shortly after the next kick off, Motz-
kus got the ball On run in the mid
die Of the field and by a spectacular
run made a touchdown. Wayland
scored several minutes later when
they blocked punt which rol'ej the
ball behind tie goal line where one Of
their men dropped on it. kocn scored
next when he got the ball on re-
turned punt and raced over the goal
line for a touchdown. Just before the
first half was over, Kluender was
pushed over fer another touchdown.
In the first part of the second half.
Williams Of Wayland, kicked drop
kick over the goal from the 20 yard
line. Shortly after this he repeat ted
it from the Is yarG line. With only
three minutes to play. the second
team braced up and in three plays
brought the ball to within three yards
of the goal, from where Mahnke was
pushed ever fer a touchdown. The
half ended with the ball in Waylsnd' g
territory
hoch, Mutzkus, Ernst. BirckhoIz,
and Eickmann deserve special mention
for their good playing, but the rest of
the second team also played strong
game Very few straight plays were
used in the game, IS both sides use1
the forward pass most Of the time
and also punted very often. The game
was not interesting from the spe,ta-
tors standpoint becau] ]e it was marred
hy the rough tactics Of the Way land
players.

DENIES THAT BRYAN
COULD DO NO HARM
Congressman Burke Says Office Of
President Is Infinitely More Pow
erfs Than Congress.

Congressman James Francis Burke,
of Pittsburg, in an address on The
Powers of the President" says:
THE American people can make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr..
Bryan on the assumption that he can
do no harm in the face of an adverse
Senate. As between the executive and
legislative departments of the govern
ment the former has infinitely greater
power to rule and ruin than the lat
ter
"Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
different types of men. Each pos
sesses a strong individual character,
which would certainly assert itself in
the White House. What either of
these men would do during four
years term IN the White House IS
causing as much anxiety among
thoughtful Americans as the mere
matter of election alone.
"As a disturber of moneys the Pres
ident is without a rival in the world.
Through the agencies under his con-
troll he will this year disburse a billion
dollars, showing the great things we
are doing in adding to the unparalleled
list of the worlds achievements.
In view of the fact that during
the fifteen years of Bryan leadership
the States controlled by his party have
decreased from % to u, the number
of Senators from As to 81, the number
of Representatives in Congress from
220 to 164, and in that time the Demo
cratic party was in control of the
ground, whereas it is now, as conse-
quence of his teachings, a hopelessly
heterogeneous mass of Populistic ele-
ments, the American people can see
little prospects Of a constructive policy
If Mr. Bryan should succeed"

At the University,

Tomorrow on the 8:2O the local
Varsity football squad leaves for
Oshkosh to play the State Normals aU
that city. Though somewhat cripp ed
up from the Ripon game and out
weighed by about ten puunds to a
man, the N. W. U. squad promises to
bring back the honors of victory for
the "BIack and Red Having held
the strong Ripun team, one of the first
teams on the list for State champion
ship. down to one sole touch down the
eleven is confident Of forcing the Nor
mas to bite the dust. The Normals,
determined to wipe out the disgrace
of last year, being credited with a
stronger team than ever will undoubt-
edly put up hard fight.
Somewhat slow to recover from the
effects uf the Ripon game, the hardest
fought battle ever lost on the local
gridiron, regular practice was sus-
pended until last Saturday. Capt.
! Ziesl sr. though unable to play In the
regular scrimmages, determined to
win the next game at all cost. con-
siders no practice too hard and is at
tempting to locate all weak points in
the team which can still be remedied
before the cunning struggle. During
the past week series of entirely new
plays, recently received from Chicago,
have been taken through and at pres
ent offer every earnest Of being effec-
tive. With variety of about forty
forward passes and any amount of
| fake plays, the team has more plays
than ever before.
Since the Rpm game, Capt. Zeisler
has deemed it wise tc sui iect the line
! to a complete change, which will
strengthen it in every respect. Hass
has been shifted to left guard and
Frobst to LETT tickle. From Injuries
received in recent scyimmage, Hass.
one of the best llne-nen, might be
unable to partake in the Oshkosh
game. Should this be the case,
Mahnke, the last years tackle will
fill the vacancy. Owing to sickness,
Ranenlann was also unable to appaa =
on the gridlron during the past week
Hanke, has been filling his position
as guard. L. Zeisler was shifted to
right end while o. Koch is now play
ing quarter back. Z. Ze Ter will not
| play unless necessary.
The physical condition is not as good
as it might be. Hass, Probst, Zels-
Ter and DahIman. still suffering from
in iuries sustained iu the Ripon game,
will probably not be able to play " 18th

The overshadowing issue of the cam
paign really is: Shall the administra-
tion of President Roosevelt be ap-
proved, shall a party of demonstrated
capacity in administrative affairs be
continued in power, shall the reins of
government be placed in experienced
hands, or do the people prefer to trust
their destinies to an aggregation Of
experimental malcontents and theor-
lists, whose only claim to history is
a party name they pilfered?
With a record of four decades of
wise legislation; two score years of
faithful administration offering its
fulfilled pledges as a guaranty of its
promises for the future, the Republi-
can party appeals to the people and,
with full confidence in their wisdom
and patriotism, awaits the rendition Of
the November verdict.

SEEM THINGS.

condition of affairs in the country.
Many of his arguments we're extracts
from speeches of reform candidates
within the ranks of the Republican
party. He cited Irving Lenroot of Su-
perior, former candidate for governor,
later a candidate for the U. S. senate
and at present thu republican candi-
date tor congress in the Eleventh con-
gessional district. 1t was pointed out
that Mr.. Lenroot openly made the
charge that the railways of the coun
try absolutely controlled legislation,
going to prove that the blame rested
upon Congress and the Republican
party.
The speaker then dwelt at cunsid
erable length upon the tariff and in
the course of his talk stated that
through high and prohibitive tariff
in favor of the Uctupus, the Standard
Oil company was now shipping oil TO
England and selling it at two and one
half cents less than 1T was being sold
TO the American people for. The tar
iff on oil being of that amount, Mr..
Williams argued that there was NJ
necessity for a tariff an that the two
and one-half cents should stay in the
pockets of the American people. 1t
was then argued by the speaker that
the harvester trust of our country was
shipping its products to foreign
countries and selling them from twen-
ty to forty per cent less than they are
farmers
Mayor Williams then spoke at
length upon the emergency currency
bill, measure which he declared was
solely In the interest of the We'll
street bankers and against the small
bankers of the country. 1t was argued
that the democrats were desirous of a
law that would give guarantee to
the small depositers. Senator La Fol-
lette was extolled TO the skies for his
angagonlsm of the emergency currency
bill. Henry Cochems, who presented
the name of La Toilette in the nation
al republican convention, was also
praised for his position on national
affairs. The House rule of Gear Can
non came in for considerable cTltI-
cism, as did also the injunction record
of Presidential Candidate Taft, gong
to show thu power which is being
usurped by individuals in the interests
of corporate wealth and against the
masses. The speaker closed with a
fiowery word painting of the two pre-
sidential candidates, naturally putting
more elaborate touches upon the
sketch of his favorite son. Mr..
| Williams along In mis- closing words
made reference to President Roose-
velt, in whom he said his faith had
been shaken because of the fact that
the president had sent his son-iulaw,
"Prince Mic" down into Illinois to
boost the political stock of Joe Cannon
in an effort to return him to his ex-
allied position as speaker in the lower
house of Congress.
