Madison. Wis. Oct. 3-Heavy
rains and a muddy field interfered
with the Badgers final scrimmage
in preparation for their initial con-
test against Ripon on Saturday.
The squad managed to put in some
practice between showers, but the
footing was too uncertain to per-
nit any drilling The lineup for
the Ripon game still is quite I'M
certain, and it is probable that
Coach Richards will use a large
number of men in order to see
them work under fire. The wealth
of backfeld material makes it as
difficult to fix on definite choice
there as does the dearth of line
candidates in choosing a forward
wall. Beyond Carpenter, Davey
and Weston it is not known who
will start for the Badgers.
