When the doctor first called them together and saw how his material shaped up he cancelled all prelimi- nary games and started to remould a quintet after his own ideas. The varsity squad on which he will have to depend is one of the smallest teams in the country. ‘The outlook for another Badger. triumph this sea- son isn’t bright. Looks Ahead. Meanwell is concentrating his real attention on next year’s aggregation. The freshman team is already super- ior to the varsity. The Badger coach owes his remark- able success in the bagket sport to an original short pass) game which he has developed to perfection in. ev- ery team he has tutored. Every year he has been at Wiscon- sin his teams have led the conference in goals from the field and in scoring power. Scoring Power. Scoring power—that’s the point at which Coach Meanwell drives his wedge. The defensive play of his fives has been nothing remarkable. The Badger coach possesses & strong peisonality. He has.the knack to instill it into his players. \. !.° (Meanwell dipped jato the c ching ‘ game while he was attending the University of Maryland. a1¢ also cap tained a professional team, He came to.

Young, 70 years old, finally has met her ideal and became his wife. Her first love, George Bell, mysteriously disappeared four months ago, just after she bought the marriage license. “Few women ever find their ideal mates,” said the 70-sear-old bride, “but they certainly are worth waiting for, even if the period extends over seventy years.” Her objections to Mr. Bell, her first choice, were founded on his utter disregard for the golden rule. “He never considered me,” she complained ; “put that’s just like a-man.” “Mr. Russell, here,” and she pointed proudly to her white-haired husband, “is my ideal of a man. He is fair and honest, and you can depend on him every time, and that’s what counts.” . Mr. Russell is equally pleased with his wife, and remarked. that he thor- oughly appreciated the. fact that she can cook.’ He was busily absorbed in his wedding breakfast of coffee and rolls, prepared by the bride’s own hands, “I like a woman who’s:not too young,” he sald, while - munching. “They always turn out more. dependa- ble in the end.” , : 2 Blooded Bull Kills Another, Tiljamook, Ore.—Two ‘blooded and H bulls, one St. Mawes TI, a ahd" the ‘other an equally: aris. toerg wernsey; fought: a battle’ on ‘the! ranchj,of George?
