Nel ka Pleked Third, | In chances for winning the team contest | Minnesota s conceded to stand next to Wis. consin, with Nebraska third to the Badgers, Chicago fourth and Washington university fifth. The Gophers are believed to be un- usually strong this spring and reports com- ing from Minneapolls add strength to this opinion. Dr. Cooke is coaching the Minne- sota team and declares he has a wmuch better point-winning buneh than he took (o Madison fst spring. His talk about contest when he was in Lincoln with Gopher basket ball team in January sanguine In its tone and indicated he was yery well pleased . with the chance: he thought his team would have against Wis- consin in the meeting. Jebraska has a weaker than ne that represented the Cornhuskers last vear and does not expect to get better than third place. It has no cinch on tuking that place, tither, and may be pushed by Chicago in winning it. Little is known of the Marcons this season except that it has been rumored they are stronger than last season or tiie year before and are fig uring on making a good showing in games_at Lincoln.

Omaha Dog That Led St. Louis Bench Show APTAIN ~ WHITESTONE, OWNED BY W PIXLEY+ BADGER ATHLETES ARE WOEFUL Faculty Votes to Limit Foot Schedule to Five Games. MADISON, Wis,, April 10.—(Special.)— The one topic of the week here in the way of athletics has been the action of the university faculty ‘in deciding against a seven-game foot ball schedule for next fall. The vote against the proposition was almost unanimous, even those who had ex- pressed themselves as being in favor of the two extra games climbing on the band- wagon when they saw the way sentiment was going. The faculty’ has been severely criticized for its action fin this respect. Every student organization that takes any part in athletics has gone on record as being in favor of the longer schedule. Nearly every other university in the west has gone back to the seven-game idea and with Wisconsin playing only five it will mean a severe handicap to prospects that by no means bright at the present time. Another indication of the alleged hostile attitude of the faculty towards athletics came out at the close of the last semster when .'Red”” Wilkinson, the great Badger freshman halfback, was dropped for being deficient. Although he has been making g0od marks In his studies this semster he will not be able to play because of the fact that he will not have the required number of freshmen credits. Ho was allowed to re turn to school only on condition that he would not go into athletics next year The base ball outlook at Wisconsin is not very encouraging at the present time. The men have not had a chance to do any outside work to speak of on account of the frigid weather. The Badgers are slated for & game with the Illini April 17, but uniess they get a chance to work at Camp Randall all this week they will be in no condition to stack up against the great aggregation that Huff has gathered for this season. Coach Barry is working to develop some sluggers for that is the place where the Badgers are going to be woefully weak, according to the present outlook The Badger relay runners have stayed over during the Easter vacation in order to get into shape for the University of {Pennsylvania games which take place at Philadelphia on April 26 The men are rounding into shape fast and the bellef is entertaincd here that they are fast enough to secure a place. Mitchell and Richards look good for :52 or better on the outdoor track, while Morris, Natwick, Juergens and Schacht can all negotiate the distance in better than :54. It is probable that five men will be taken the frip. The students have started a subscription list |to defray the expenses of the trip. This is the first time that any varsity track team has entered into competition with the eastern cracks. Coach Eyck of the varsity crews expects to have his men out on the water Monday. The lake opened up Wednesday and the crews would have gone out last Friday were it not for the fact that the plers have not been put-into position. The start Is about a week later this year and the coach is worrying about the freshmen crew. A professor will accompany the crew men to Poughkeepsie th year to give the men their examinations after they get to the Hudson are on Ten NEW DUAL RACE FOR MIDDIES Will Meet Potomae at ‘we Mile IMORE, Md., April 10.—Another ta has been added to the sched- United States On May 1 the middies are to row against the of the Potomac Boat club of Washington over & two-miie course on the | Bevern river.
