Foot Ball Hopes
Dull at Wisconsin

Madison, Wis, Sept. 23.-Little
chance for a conference foot ball
championship is seen at Wisconsin
this fall. The squad, which includes
number of men OF brief experience
in actual battle, though they have
been on the gridiron for some time,
lacks, 1t is said, that quality known
to foot ball fans as class"
Paul Wilmington, successor to Bill
Juneau as head coach, will find the
squad sadly in need of elementary
drill, but with that drill properly
instilled under the new coach.

Badgers should make fair showing.
Some of the stars of last year will

tain Meyers, right end; E. Simpson,
quarter; Glenn Taylor, quarter; How
ard Hancock, left guard; Robert
Filter, right tackle; Milton Gardner,
guard, and Louis Keeuz, fullback, ali

the punting and Taylor the drop

Max Berg, fullback; Otto Rohscn-
berger, left tackle; Herbert Cramer,

New men are Elder, Wahl, Vaughn

Iowa Varsity Line

Iowa City, Ia, Sept. 23.--(Speciai.)
With the announcement that he will

and is gathering his men together fol
the opening Of the foot ball season.

tain, "as If the line for the team will
be unusually heavy and reasonably
strong. We certainly have men big
enough and strong enough to build
up a stone-wall battering-ram sort
Of chargers. Laun himself weighs
1888 pounds, and expects to keep up to
this mark while playing. Triplett,
whom the captain counts as a strong
contender for an end position, weighs
1873 pounds, but is fast. Mckee is
expected to be moved from end to
tackle, making three letter men out
for tackle positions--McKee, Fosdick
and Jacobsen. Grub, at guard, will
weigh close to 200 pounds, and
Bowlesby a good 1856. Holmes, in
the center Of the line, will not come
up to the weight of the other six
men, but is about 10 pounds.
Wyland, who was regarded as a
sure man for center position early
last fall, but who left the university,
is back, and will enter school again.
Becker, freshman last year, is an.
other promising man for the pivot
position.
The backfield will be altogether
light, but very fast and clever. Davis,
end last year, will perform this sea-
son as halfback. Leighton, one Of
the most promising Of the candidates,
IS on the border with the militia.
BARREN, Scott, Duncan, Mendenhall
and Kuehnle will all be out for po-
sitions, with Scott about the only
available man for fullback in sight at
the present time. Bannick. in the opin-
ion Of Captain Laun, is likely to land
the quarterback position, but Kuehnle
will try out also.
Mckee and Scott are the only two
men who have not been heard from
definitely in the last week or who
are not actually on the ground. Both
are expected to return to school, how
ever.

FOOT BALL CREWS
OF EAST GET SET
Call for Practice Issued by
Coaches at ALI Schools
Along Atlantic Coast.
HARVARD WEEK THIS YEAR

New York, Sept. Theoretically
every college in the east has issued
orders for the first foot bali practice
and at many places it is already under
way. Harvard is facing desperate
situation this year. Percy Haughton
will not be able to give very much
time to the foot ball squad because
of his interest in the Braves. In ad-
dition, the material is not OF the high
est caliber. Mahan has graduated, to-
gether with Soucy, the crack end;
Cowen, the guard; Wallace, center,
and Gilman and Parsons, both
tackles.
The entire backfield was swept
away, Watson King, Boles and Ma
han. Several substitutes are also
gone. In other words, nine Of the
first string men who played against
Yale have gone. With the loss Of
Haugton at Harvard and the gain of
Jones at Yale, it looks like an even
break this year between the two riv-
ais.
West Point should have a wonder
full season. The cadets have McEwan,
all-American center and star for four
years; Oliphant, the hero of the
Army-Navy game; Ford. Meacham
and others.
Coyote at West Point.
A new star is Eugene Vidal, fresh.
man from South Dakota. He does
the 100 in ten seconds flat, is a star
jumper and discus thfower and excels
in basket ball and base ball. The
coaches predict he will be another
Oliphant. West Point plays its first
game against Lebanan Valley on Sep
TENDER 50, so there is plenty of time
for practice.
Bob Folwell, formerly the WASH
ington and Jefferson coach, will have
charge Of Pennsylvania this year, aud
he predicts that Cornells sudden rise
of the last few years will be ended on
Thanksgiving day.

English Plyweight
Offers to Give Ten
Pounds for Battle

New York, SPIT. 23.--Charley Nit.
chell and Tom O'Rourke, who propose
to bring over tie English flyweight
champion, Johnny Wilde, maintain
that the offer to wager $4,000 that
little Wilde can give twelve pounds
and beating to any American is not
the bunk, but genuine offer.
Whether Wilde can afford to give
away twelve pounds remains to be
seen. The little Englishman is very
tall and rangy, considering his light
weight-ninety pounds. In England.
where most Of the boxing is carried on
at long range, his remarkable speed
and science, coupled with his long
reach, has enabled him to beat men
much heavier than himself. But
whether Wilde could hold bis own at
inhghting with some OF he rough
sluggers is by no means certain

the last month he has been enjoying
an unexpected vacation, due to the
fact that his feet went back on him
With good pair Of legs and his left
hand punches he is more than match
for all the men his weight or fifty
pounds heavier. Take one of these
assets from him and he is badly han
dicapped.
Some time ago Barney began to
have trouble with his pedal extremi-
ties. He found that he couldn't step
around as fast as was his wont. Ex-
animation revealed that he was af-
flicted with fallen arches. He called
off about $4,000 worth of matches and
put himself in the hands-or feet
of an expert on such conditions. For
the last five weeks he has been under
going daily treatment. Now he is
ready and fit for battle again and at
East Chicago he began his new cam
paign for the worlds light heavy
weight title in a bout with George
(Knockout) Brown.
II is Levinsl,y's ambition to estab-
lish new activity record. He hopes
to engage in fifty-two fights-one a

He has already taken part in about
twenty-five fights, in spite OF his long
enforced periods of activity. To re-
alize his desires he will have to forge
