GREAT PAT O'DEA OF WISCONSIN TO
 BE GIVEN HONOR
Football Hero of Years Ago Discovered By
 Sports Writer

Chicago, Nov. 15-(UP)-Uni- versity of Wisconsin alumni turned out today to welcome a ghots-Pat o'Dea, greatest of Wisconsin foot ball palyers and one of the most celebrated kickers of all time--who for 16 years was believed dead.
 O'Dea was scheduled to arrive in Chicago this morning from Westwood, Cal, where since the war he has lived under an as- stunned name to evade the adulation given football star.
 He will be feted and feasted in Chicago today. Saturday he will be guest of honor at a game between Wisconsin and Illinois. All of next week he will be on the University of Wisconsin campus, where leg ends of his prowess back in the 90's have made him a veritable Paul Bunyan.
 Records of O'Dea's feats with footballs are almost unbelievable in comparison with present day standards. In one game, on mud dy field aSd in a heavy rain, he won a Wisconsin victory by drop kicking a goal from his own 37- yard line.
 O'Dea sought oblivion under an assumed name because his football fame interfered with his law prac- tice in San Francisco. He and his wife went to Westwood, where Pat shed his identity and started life again as a lumberjack. He now is a company executive.
 A San Francisco sports writer discovered him.

Eigt 7ea Loop Seems Assured Anateur F,
TO-DAY,S SPORT PARADE

I brass than there is in St Gauden's Lincoln q know it's bronze! know it's bronze!), asking any body to take the job. The job was bad enough last year, as Dick Williams, the play | ing non playing captain, found out. This year it's going to be wrose than ever, for when those two playboys of the western world, George Lott and Lester Stoefen, turned professional, our side lost the only two guys it had who go out there at Roland Garros, or Wimbledon, or anywhere else, and deliver. The Messrs Lott and Stoefen did not observe the strict- est of training rules. They played the dogs, followed the horses, step- ped few graceful tangos at Lon don's hot-spots, and, when cor nered, even swigged a few cock tails.
 But, despite the fact that they acted like human beings more than ranking tennis players, they won everything they went out Tor, including the Wimbledon cham pionship, and their doubles match in both the interzone and challenge round cup play. The boys were good for a sure point whenever they picked up their bats.
 The 1885 team, which you may have to captain unless you keep your eyes open. and avoid lonely streets after dark, will be sure or nothing, unless it is defeat. Accord ing to present plans it will be com posed of Winner Allison. Sidney Wood, Donald Budge and Gene Mako, with the first two parties named handling the singles, and the youngsters doing the doubles.
 What may be expected from this group? We'll, I'd say they will have an even chance against Australia or Japan in the inter zone finals, and will run strictly for Mrs Sweeney against England in the showdown for the cup. Alll- son and Wood, sound players as they are, can play Perry from now until the last COW comes home without winning. And I wouldn't risk penny on them against Bunny Austin. Bunny, as Old School -Tiesh, and thoroughly dis. likeable as he Is, is whole lot Of something when the king ano Queen sit down and they start playing for keeps.
 In another coupl, of years Budge and Mako probably will De the best doubles team in the world. But what they'll do next year, in their debut as internationalists, IS something else again. In fact, I'll wager a guess that our doubles team for 1885 will wind-up being Allison and Johnny Van Ryn.

WESLEYAN PREPS FOR ROCHESTER
 GAVESATURDAY
(Special to The Democrat) )

Middletown, Conn.,, Nov. 14-Go- ing into the final week of practice
 before winding up its season against a visiting Rochester team on Saturday, the Wesleyan univer- sity eleven went through stiff de- fensive drill this afternoon against the second string in an attempt to bolster up the weak points in the line which developed in the encoun- ter with Williams last Saturday. Coach Blott worked with the
 backfield during a good part of the afternoon, shifting Coultas from left half to fullbacks and replac- ing him with Whitney at half. The combination will probably be the starting machine in Saturdays con- test, as Burton, regular fullback and outstanding booter of the
 squad. seemed definitely out for the remainder of the season with a twisted knee suffered in last weeks
 game.
 Overton, regular tackle, was
 again in the first string lineup. fully recovered from the effects oI broken hand which put him on
 the sidelines early in the season,
 and with J. Burt. did a nice job at the tackle posts during the drill. O'Leary, regular end, was still out
 with an injured leg. and was re- placed by Frost.
 Blott is stressing defensive work for the contest, and is also giving emphasis to defense against the
 strong aerial attack of the visitors. Offensively he will probably rely
 mostly on line plays. the passing game of the Cardinals having been
 ineffective in the last three con- tests.

 This will be the second meeting of the two, Terryville winning the first contest by a 13-0 score. The South End eleven is reported to have been greatly strengthened since that contest and a hard fought contest is looked forward to.
 The local eleven have won their last five games and are attracting statewide attention with their all around playing.

 All the members of the local from the injuries received in last Sundays bruising game with the New Britain Triangles in which the locals were victorious by 12-7 score.
 When the local eleven takes the field in Waterbury Eunday after noon, they will show such outstand- ing players as Vic Carlson, Hookus. Billy Bertnagle, Mix Fill, Adam Harbert and a number of others who are we'll known to valley foot ball fans. The addition of the last three named players to the squad have greatly strengthened them for their final games of the season and should be able to help them to con- tinue the season without suffering a defeat
