Half From Contest.

Minneapolis, Nov. 16.-Ruling as
ten to six favorites in the betting,
the Wisconsin team reached the
Twin cities early yesterday. morn
ing and is Quartered at the West no.
tel, Minneapolis. In the afternoon
light signal practice work was done
by the eleven that hopes to wrest the
conference championship from Min
nesota.
Madison Thursday night was
ablaze with student enthusiasm in
honor of the Badgers. Promptly at
8 o'clock there was a rousing mass
meeting of students on the campus,
followed by torchlight procession
throug the streets to the North West
ern railway station, where there
was another demonstration lasting
nearly thirty minutes.
Giving final ION Wisconsin,
and singing Good Night, Ladies'"
the students enthusiasts left Coach
Juneau to tuck his men safely into
their special sleeping car berths and
wendell their way back to their
abodes
Just before the train pulled out of
the station Coach Juneau found
time to discuss the Badger pros
poets of success. He was far from
optimistic.
ave have been given a rating in
the newspapers to which we are
hardly entitled" he said. "Our team
has not as many veterans as the gen
eral has been led to believe. The
line, with the exception of the ends,
is inexperienced, comparatively
speaking. Samp was substitute full
back last year. This is his first seas
on as a tackle, but both he and
Butler have played we'll.
81 have had glowing reports of
the Minnesota eleven. Earl. Driver
who saw Illinois defeated, says the
Gophers put up defense that is
calculated to test our offense to. its
utmost. Our boys have shown will
ingness and a disposition to work
hard. They have come through in
good physical condition, and if they
know any football at all it will come
out Saturday.
II would like to be excused from
expressing an opinion about the re-
suit. I do not believe in making
predictions. Rather, I am inclined
to wait until the game is we'll un-
der way, or ended"
DR.. H. L. Williams has closed all
avenues that permit of information
concerning the real condition of the
Gophers.
1t is not certain, even, that Erdal]
injured in the Illinois game-wil]
be able to start at right half. His
knee, which was wrenched, has been
mending slowly, and it is a question
whether he will be able to go through
sixty minutes of play in the game OF
the year, even if he is able too start
This much is assured, however:
The eleven will be in the game every
moment of the time, and, if it is
not swept off it's feet in the first few
moments of play, will give the Bad
gers a game we'll worth seeing. The
Maroon and Gold players are game
and willing, and have demonstrated
their fighting ability in every game
played this y ear.
Wisconsin's hackers insist that
their team, which has overwhelmed
every opponent this year, cannot
lose to Minnesota. Both Van Ripper
Wisconsin's star halfback, and Gil.

which they have been saved.
