would appear the little force OF Yam

That a "woun5ed German" was

actual fighting occurred before the
Americans yielded. The size OF the

Plead for Indulgence.
Harper and Rockne made a plea
for indulgence on the part Of the
alumni if next years teams do not
reach the plane of former years, and
every one at the meeting assured
the mentors that they would stand
solidly behind any teams that are
put on the field.
The announcement that Wisconsin

was welcomed because the Badger
