SAUK BRIDGES IN DANGER
From Fridays Daily

From all points along the Wisconsin
river come messages of property being
destroyed. DR.. w. II. Thompson was
in the northern part of Fairfield We'd
nesday and reports that much hay,
corn, wood and other property is going
down stream. Joe Lewis drove
along the river road for
some distance, the highway
being covered with water. From
a hay stack he rescued several rabbits.
He took the animals into the wagon
and they made no attempt to escape.
After he reached home he gave them
their freedom. Squirrels were also
seen taking free ride.
The hay on the low land has either
washed away or is wet with muddy
water for several feet at the bottom of
the stack.

No one is permitted to cross the
bridge at Prairie du Sac. Christ.
Kindschi and Charles PIoets of the
village were in Barsboo today and re-
port the water within few inches of
the planks on the bridge.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railway have IS loaded cars on the
track north of the station at Prairie du
Sac to hold the rails and ties down.
The water covers the track and is over
foot deep in the elevator.
The dikes in the vicinity of Portage
were holding we'll last night although
water was seeping through the
levees in many places. Hundreds of
men have been working day and night
TO prevent disaster. The gauge at 10
Wednesday night showed thirteen
feet, the highest by five inches in his
tory. The Madison and Portage dl-
vision is blocked There are twelve
inches of water on the tracks two
miles below the city, but large crew
is working to save the tracks from
washing out.
The local freight from Portage on
Wednesday broke in two. Eight cars
and the caboose remained on the water
covered tracks at Pacific and working
crews took part of the train.
: Move to Higher Ground.
Residents of the First ward are
moving to higher places up town,
anticipating break in the govern
ment dixie, which would flood the en-
tire Fox river valley between Portage
and Oshkosh end other points.
A telephone message from Kilbourn
said the river at Kilbourn is not ris-
ing and the southern Wisconsin power
dam is holding we'll.
Dispatches from Mauston say the
| dam of the Lemonweir river there went
out on Wednesday. The Lemonweir
river empties into the Wisconsin river
above the Dells at Kilbourn, causing
more anxiety there.
Authorities have stopped traffic be-
tween Portage and Pacific, as high
ways are fast becoming impossible
and unsafe. The water is within q
foot of the top of the main line tracks
between Lewiston and Portage.
Small breaks in the Lewiston levee,
five miles north of Portage, were
stopped by large crew # men.

TIC PLAY MAR00NS
IN CHICAGO TODAY,

In CHlCAGU IUuh1
The first real test for the Hin
football team comes Saturday in tht
game with the Maroons on Marshal
Field in Chicago Two games have
already been played, but they have
been with minor teams and many
sustitutes have been used, with tbs
display of few plays. But it is figur-
ed that the Orange and Blue will
have to show the best it has in the
coming struggle with the pupils OF
A. A. Stage.
1t is believed in the Illini camp
that Coach Stage has done wonders
with the material he has had in hand
and although the Indiana and Purdue
games were not easily won that the
rescGrcefIl coach of the Midway has
been Withholding his hand in antici-
patton OF the coming of the Mimi
Early in the season, it looked like it
would be a walkaway for Captain
Roberts ard his team. but the rooters
have now shaken themselves cleaor
of that idea and are figuring that the
contest IS going to be thriller.
The game will be a contest of
green backtield against veteran
backfeld, a green line against a vet
eran line The Maroons furnish the
green backfieilld, the Illini the green
line. The Maroon youngsters have
been through the fire and are tested
The st. Louis game was the only one
wherein the Illini youngsters were
forced to show much of their mettle
and there was not enough of 1t to
give the coaches much basis for eon+
lecture.
1t can not be gainsaid, though
that there is sort of confidence in
the local football camp, a. confidence
that is happily combined with deadly
determination TO make it two
straight over the Orange and Blues
most deadly rival. On offensive play
Coach Halls proteges are going t.
shine as they have not shown OF
Marshall Field for many moons. The
defense will be weaker than last
year, but 1t is hoped that the three
new men now groomed for positions
Hall at right end, Prince at right
tackle, and Paul Betting at right
guard-will be ready for the gone
to play right along with the veterans
on the other side of the line.
There are no flies on that left side
Oliver at end is certain to make All

stride. A deadly tackler an excel
lent receiver of the forward pass,
fast man, good punter, everything
combines to make him an ideal
player Springs at tackle is another
man VINO Will be deserving OF con-
sideration for All-Western. His
wonderful work has been ignored in
the past, but the critics are awaken
ing to the fact that he is one OF the
greatest defensive players in the
game. Henry Betting at left guard
plays the same old sterling game that
caused him to be put on second ALI
