n. DAME MEETS
BADGERS TODAY
BY CHARLES A. GRIMES.

Wisconsin Saturday,
Primed and in fair condition for
the meet with the Badgers today,
Capt. Rademacher and 10 other
Notre Dame track men left for Chi
cago last night. They will get into
Madison this afternoon and thus get
a rest. something they lacked be-
fore the meet with Michigan last
Saturday.
Coach Rockne, slightly under the
weather with a touch of the flu, did
not make the trip. Rademacher will
apportion the rations and direct the
team on its trip. Included in the
team which left last night were:
McGinnis. Mulligan, Colgan, Scallin.
Barry. Meehan. Meredith, Sweeney.
Shanahan, Hoar, Gilfillan, Douglas.
Rademacher and Powers.
Once more eXpectant eyes are cast
toward Gnhllan. The big boy, judg-
ing from past performances ought to
be the star Of the meet. Not a great
deal is known of the strength of the
Badgers, but the report is that the
gym at Madison is practically the
same as that at Notre Dame. Be that
true then, Gilfllan will ask no more.
In defeat or in victory he will have
no alibi. He is entered in four
events for the Saturday meet. Last
Saturday on a board floor where he
was afraid TO let himself out he
divided the honors with Johnson of
Michigan.
McGinnis and Mulligan will run
in the short distance events for
Notre Dame. Colgan, Scallin. Barry
and Meredith will go the middle dis
tances, and Eddie Meehan, Hic
Sweeney and Shanahan will COM
pete in the longer events.
As side-kick in the hurdles and
jumps Gnfllan will have Hoar, who
has consistently shown Improvement
of late. RED" Douglas will do most
of the high jumping; Capt. Rade-
macher and Johnny Powers the pole
vaulting.
Baseball occupied the stage in the
gym Yesterday afternoon. For al
most two hours Coach Dorais' can
