PRACTICE
ENDS THURSDAY
"On to Wisconsin" the Slo-
gan-Badgers Hopeful.
Of Victory

Williams calls his men off the field
next Thursday afternoon, bringing q
halt to the practice, every man should
be in the best of condition for the big
game. Captain Pickering has but two
more games on his list before closing
for all time his college career and the
dashing fullback wants to pull his
team through with a championship
banner. Pick does not fear the ILL.,
nois team. which will be played one
week after the contest at Wisconsin.
but he does not deny that he is wor-
rying more or less over the game with
Coach Richards eleven.
Pickering has been playing wonder
full ball in practice and the big fellow
can be depended upon to give n good
account Of himself next Saturday. The
big Minnesota captain is by far the
best ground-gaining fullback in the
west. while at end and the defense,
his work is far above that of any
wing man seer here this season. With
Capron.. Stevens and Roscnwald to as
sist him in running the ball down the
field, Pickering hopes to score a VIC
tory over the Badgers and thereby
land high and dry for the final battle
of the season, that with Illinois on
November 25 at Urbana, Ill.
