Madison-After a week of severe
practice Coach Jack Ryan's gridders
are ready to meet the Gopher eleven
which invades the Cardinal camp on
Saturday for the annual home-com-
ing battle.
Ryan has not been content to rest
upon the laurels won last Saturday
when his eleven defeated Indiana by
one of the largest scores ever rung
up against a Conference team, So to
0. He has been driving the Badger
team to the last ounce, preparing
them to meet the shifty Minnesota
plays and equipping them with
few trick plays of their own.
Minnesota has defeated a number
of strong teams in three past season
games and will meet Wisconsin in
the first Conference tilt of the year.
acknowledged as strong and
powerful team. Coach Ryan is not
looking for an easy getaway like the
game with Indiana.
1t is estimated that $4,000 will
see the game. Ever seat in the
stands was sold early in the week,
including about 10000 added since
the close Of school last June. The
S. R. O. sign will be out long before
the first whistle calls the men to
action on Saturday.
With the beginning of cold weather
there has been a marked increase in
the number of men in Wisconsin out
of employment, according to
survey recently completed by the
state industrial commission. This
is due of course, the report states,
to the shut down of such industries
as canning factories, road construc-
ton and agricultural labor is no
longer in such great demand. To
counteract this to a certain extent
the logging industry gets underway
when cold weather sets in in earnest
and the retail sales forces increase
with the end of summer. Conditions
on the average, however, are ex-
cellent through the state. The
temporary decline in employment is
only between-season lull the
report states.
Elmer S. Hall, member of the
state conservation commission is
making an extended tour of the
entire state, visiting all localities
from which applications have been
received for Wisconsin's two new
fish hatcheries, funds for which were
appropriated by the 1928 session of
the legislature.
Twenty cities have applied for the
hatcheries, which are to be sub
stations, costing $4,000 each and
devoted to the Matching of trout
alone. Careful consideration is to
be given to water conditions neces-
sary for the hatcheries, Mr. Hall
said. They will be located in the
northeastern part of the state.
Game wardens, appointed under a
plan of reorganization of the con-
servation department are meeting
with Mr. Hall throughout the week
to work out details of the new plan
under which a group of deputy game
wardens will have charge of GER
tain territory. Much more eff
ficient protection of game will be
maintained under this plan it is
thought.
One of Wisconsin's greatest
sources of profit is her tourists, it
has been shown by estimatts made by
the state highway commission, based
upon figures obtained from the state
account of automobiles made on
August 8.
Out of state tourists spend
| $45, 100000 a year in the Badger
state, the report states. Of this
approximately $9,000,000 is esti-
mated as profit. In addition resid-
ents Of the state contribute profit of
$25,000,000 more to the resort
owners. Many more who come by
train and swell the total are not
included in the estimate.
A total of 29,409 cars were count
ed on August 8 by officials of the
highway commission, chambers of
commerce and tourists agencies.
Every state in the union was re-
presented as well as Hawaii and
three Canadian provinces. Though
some cars were counted as often as
fifteen times by officials and others
Implications were eliminated by
statisticians after a careful check.
