played against Purdue if it hopes for a
victory over Wisconsin mex Saturday.
Although the Maroons have beaten In
DIANA Iowa and Purdue, three confer
ence eleVens, they will have to improve
greatly to escape future defeats.
The decisive manner in which Wis
consin has beaten its opponents this
year, the known caliber of the members
of the team and the reputation which
Coach Bill Juneau has as an instructor
of football tactics must not be over
looked. The badger coach has the men
for a championship eleven and he can
be depended upon to drive them to the
limit to bea Chicago.
On the other hand the resourceful-
ness of Coach Stage must not be UNI
dercstimated. Although the Chicagoans
were victorious over Purdue by u
smaller score than expected, followers
of football can rest assured that Stage
will drill his team so as to give Wis
ConSin a contest.
