UNIVERSITY MEN HERE.
Their Time Taken Up in Speaking, At
tending Banquets and Mixing With
the Fellows.

The five University students, who
came to this city last Friday morn
ing, were rushed to the limit during
their stay which lasted until yester-
day. Stuart Lawson, Ray Albright,
Howard Buck, Jimmy Brayton and
Edward Andrews, all prominent boys
in the college Y at Madison and sew
eral of whom have made names for
themselves in football, crew work, in
glee clubs or some line of college
activities, were the guests. Every
one of the five stated that they were
here for business-the encourage
ment of clean speech, clean habits
and clean living. The young fellows
are all manly young men who are
keeping themselves in trim for tine
race of life and who desire to aid
other young men to choose those
things in lie which are of the best.
Their arrival in the city started
several days of continuous rushing.
On Friday morning they gave an in
teresting program before the Wau-
sau Business College. The quintet
visited the high school in the after
noon, and it was really with these
fellows that their work belonged.
The program at the high school was
opened by duet played on guitar
and mouth organ by Jimmy Bray
ton. Edward Andrews gave an inter-
esting address on "Punctuality."
University songs were sung by Stuart
Lawson and then by the five.
After school, Friday evening mix
err was held as the Y. The Univer-
sity men mixed with the high school
and grade boys, becoming acquainted
with them. A large number of young
fellows were present. An orchestra
composed of high schools boys fur
nished music. A dinner was given at
the Y on the same evening for the
members of the Amigo and local
basketball teams. Short addresses
were made by several of the Madison
fellows.
Saturday morning the grade boys
were invited to meet the college men.
High school boys began arriving the
latter part of the morning and at
twelve thirty about twenty of them
sat down with the guests to lunch
con. Perhaps to the boys the most
interesting speaker was Howard
Buck, captain of the University
eleven last fall, who gave vivid &C
count of the Illinois Wisconsin game
and how Wisconsin played so well
against a bunch of athletics whom
the speaker termed as being as
fine as had ever been in
college at one time. After the
luncheon the afternoon was given
over TO bowling, swimming and sports
on the gym floor. The employed
boys of the Y were the entertainers
of the college fellows for the evening
meal. Ed. Andrews gave most in
teresting discourse on "Clean Habits, +"
while Buck talked on the big game
of the season and Lawson entertained
with several songs. A rousing good
time was enjoyed by all present.
Stag parties were the schedule for
the evening. John Manson enter
tanned ten fellows besides Edward
Andrews and Ray Albright at his
home while Fred Genrich entertained
about the same number with the
other three University students. The
college fellows became acquainted
with the high school boys and gen.
eral good time was enjoyed in telling
stories and singing.
Sunday morning the five young men
visited several churches in which
each gave fifteen or twenty minute
talk on some subject which they con-
sidered might be both interesting and
useful to parents. They also at
tended Sunday school and conversed
with the members of the different
classes.
In the afternoon the big mass meet
ing was held in the Y NJ. G. A. gym
nasium. There was splendid crowd
present, numbering some $50 young
men and older ones. Jimmy Bray
ton was the first speaker. He SINGER
ly thanked everyone present for the
entertainment of the quintet during
its stay in the city. His special topic

every boy to refrain from using un-

ton. If you are accustomed to the
use of bad language, he went on, try
to quit it." Howard Buck ADDRESSED
the gathering on ''Clean Sports" He
spoke of athletics and of the way
one should conduct himself while
participating in sports. Everyone
should do his very best when out to
make some team; but, he emphasized,
do it in a sportsmanlike way. Then
the speaker dwelt on ''quitterS" of
whom we so often hear and he gave a
number of excellent examples in
speaking of ther. Mr.. Buck ended
by saying that those who play should
play hard but clean. Stuart Lawson
