Edwin Schmitz, a member of the executive committee of the preceding six banquets, has been named general chairman of the traditional fete to the team.

IV. H. Frederick of the Madison Business ssocialion, secretary, announced. The important post of ticket chairman will be shared, as it was last year, by Louis Gardner and Duane Bowman. This will be the seventh lime we have honored Wisconsins football teams, and certainly this years group of boys is deserving of no less homage than preceding groups, Schmitz declared.

However, in line with the conference the super-banquels of for-fer seasons is out. So this year we are limiting the sales to 500 tickets, which is about 40 per cent of last years attendance. It will be a matter of first sold, only ones served, Gardner stated. The facilities of the Memorial Union are definitely limited and we just will not be able to take care of all the fans who will want to attend. Several surrounding communities have asked for tickets and we will take care of these requests in the order of their receipt.

Undoubtedly our dinner tickets will be at a premium, just as the Minnesota-Wisconsin football game tickets are this week. Despilc the increase in costs of food, and the limited number of guests, the $5 price for tickets will not be increased, Fredcrlch stated. A short, fast-moving program is being planned and will be announced by Charles Wolden-berg. program Several well known sports figures will be present, but the emphasis will be on the team members themselves.

with 17 out of 22 conversions, and one field goal. Stidham ordered an extra, day ot rest yesterday to permit players to recover from the numerous burr.ps and bruises received from the Great Lakes Sailors Sunday. Stuhldreher Assigns Signal-Calling to Harder, Seelinger RY HANK CASSEIILY (Capital Times Sports Editor) LEN CALLIGARO, Hurley, senior, will carry a tremendous load in the game at Camp Randall Saturday. Cal-iigaro has been selected as the player to carry on for Jack Wink, regular Badger quarterback, whose injured leg hasn responded to treatment. Wink improved rapidly over Sunday, the hot wax treatment working wonders, but there was little improvement from early Monday to Tuesday afternoon, and it is extremely doubtful if he will be able to face the Gophers, said Stuhldreher at the conclusion of Tuesday afternoons practice.

Harder, Seelinger Gel Call With Calligaro, a rugged defensive player, at the pilot spot. Pat Harder and Len Seelinger will call signals in the dash with Minnesota Saturday, which may dec ide the Western Conference crown. Paul Hirsbrunncr. regular right tackle, who was shifted to left end for last Saturdays game vith Northwestern, only to receive a bad shoulder bruise in the Wildcat tussle, was released from the U.

Len is expected to report for duty this afternoon. Badgers React Well Practice yesterday was handicapped by the appearance of a photographer from Collier's magazine, who took slow motion color movies of Dave Schreiner, Pat Harder and Ffed Negus. Dummy scrimmage against the Badger Bees, who used Minnesota plays, was the feature of the Tues-day drill, the Badgers showing fine reactions against the Bees. The squad was in fine physical and mental condition and while the players realized that Minnesota was a powerful foe, the Badgers believed they could beat the Gophers. A complete rehearsal of offensive and defensive work will he staged today, according to Coach Harry A.

Stuhldreher. This will mark the last hard practice before Saturday's game. Thursday and Friday drills being scheduled as light practice sessions. Calligaro Impressive Calligaro looked impressive at quarterback. Fast and powerful Calligaro is a fine line backer, his tackling being deadly, lie is a fair passer and can run or snare passes.

Calligaro also reacted well on pass defense. The stretched ligaments in Wink's injured leg, have returned to somewhere near normal action, the sturdy pilot being able to move his knee readily, but the swelling around the injury refuses to recede. Coach Stuhldreher hopes that Wink may recover faster than expected, but he is pointing Calligaro for the task as precautionary insurance. Fourteen Wisconsin seniors will be playing the last game of their collegiate careers Saturday. This group includes Mark Hoskins, Jim McFadzean.

Boh Diorcks, Bob Ray, Calligaro. Bob McKay, Jolm Roberts, George Makris. Lloyd Whs-scrbach, Hirsbrunncr. Bob Baumann. Dick Thornally, Schrcinei and Bob Stupka.

Stulildreher Warns Fans of Gophers Fast and Powerful, lie Tells Uptown Coaches By HANK CASSERLY (Capital Times Sports Editor) Warning members of the Uptown Coaches club that Minnesota has terrifically fast and powerful club, Coach Harry A. Stuhldreher pointed out that the Gophers had regained their early season form and were a typical Minnesota team as he showed slow motion pictures of the Badger-Northwestern game last night at the Park hotel. Earl Maves, Don Litchfield, Henry Olshanski, Dave Donellan and Frank Granitz, the latter assistant team coach, were guests of the Uptown Coaches. Stuhldreher painted an impressive picture of the Minnesota squad, headed by Bill Daley and a host of other Gopher stars.

The Badger coach stated that Minnesota would be at full strength for the seasons finale at Camp Randall. The Badger coach praised Northwestern highly and claimed that only the hardest sort of bad luck had kept the Wildcats from winning several Western Conference games. Stuhldreher was particularly impressed with the performance of Otto Graham, Cat back, whom he rated as one of the really great college passers of the season. Lt. Jay Berwanger, former Chicago star and member of the navy aviation selection board, was presented to the Uptown Coaches and Stuhldreher said, Maybe he can help us Saturday.

He would be mighty handy to have on our side Ed Schmitz, local merchant, was presented as chairman of the football banquet committee, while Duane Bowman and Louis Gardner, co-chairmen of the banquet ticket sales committee, gave brief talks. Following the showing of the Badger Wildcat game pictures, which Stuhldreher explained, the Badger coach answered a few ques- MADISON prep cagers, with official opening games on deck next week, are slowly gaining form as heavy-laden squads are being chopped to working units. At Madison West, East and Wisconsin High the rosters now are down to what may be the varsity squads from now on in, and at Central, Coach Milt Diehl, is delaying his final cut until after the Orange and Black warmup debut Saturday night against an alumni quintet. Soarh Earl Wilke also will stand pat on his squad, although a varsity unit will be named this weekend. The squad lists now recorded follow: WEST: Forwards Sam Namio, Floyd Francis, John Schwartz, Phil Emordino, Jack Wise, Bob Worthman, Ed Berger.

Centers Don Janicek, Forrest Gillette, Don Page, Ray Kluberton. Guards tions asked by Uptown Coaches or guests. Some of these follow: Did spelling Graham off help his efficiency? A Yes, particularity as he was not in the best of shape. What was the secret of Northwestern getting through our line? A It was a good Northwestern team. Why all the razzle dazzle when we were close to the goal line? A We only used the lateral pass play near the goal line twice in nine games.

The play was a good call, but badly executed. Do you coach the Badgers to tackle high? A Yes. We tackled too low last year and we warned the players not to leave their feet. Maroon Five Stronger Than In 1941-42 CHICAGO (P) J. Kyle Anderson, new basketball coach at the University of Chicago, says maybe the Maroons might not fare as badly as they have the last two seasons in Western Conference competition.

After winning their opening game against Illinois Tech last Dec. 6. the Maroons failed to score a single victory in the remainder of the season, running their string of consecutive Western Conference losses to 31. Anderson, who succeeds Capt. Nelson Norgren.

Bachs Polish Up Air Attach For Michigan COLUMBUS, O. VP) Ohio State gridders got back to heavy work Tuesday and took a look at Michigans powerful offensive plays. After two days of rest, the Bucks were put through stiff workouts on the blocking sleds and tackling dummies. Michigan plays brought back by Scout Fritz Mackey were run against the Western conference leaders by a freshman team. The Bucks devoted much time to passing because they know that they may have to take-to the air to get aiound Michigans strong line.

Coach Paul Brown, faced with a halfback shortage, received word that Bill Durtschi of Galion might be ready to see some action Saturday. Durtschi, Ohios best punter, suffered a knee injury in the Southern California game five weeks ago. MICHIGAN TRICKY? ANN ARBOR, Mich. (JP) Coach II. O.

Fritz Crisler dished out some more new plays to Michigan's Wolverines Tuesday for use in Saturdays game with Ohio State, pointing out that eight games had given the Buckeyes plenty of chances for scouting and that a new trick might mean the difference between victory and defeat. The Michigan lineup in Tuesdays drill was the same that started against Notre Dame last w'eek. in the IT. S. navy, named lit 1940 and 1941.

Tickets for the banquet are $2 each, but sons, accompanied by their fathers, can purchase tickets for $1 each. Tickets are on sale at Strands Baking Rundell's. and the Badger Sporting Goods store. Minnesota is all hopped up over the Gopher chances to swamp the Badgers. But Bud Wilkinson, one of the former Gopher greats, and an assistant coach at the Minnesota school, sounds a note of warning to overconfident Gopher fans.

Bud scouted Wisconsin against Northwestern, who reported to Coach George Hauser. Many do not appreciate bow strong a defensive team Wisconsin is this year, Bud pointed out today. In recent years the Badgers always have been able to gain plenty of ground, but couldnt keep the opposition from doing the tame. Its different this year. Bud also likes the poise of Stuhldrehers gang.

He pointed out they had to make four perfect plays in the closing minutes of the Northwestern game in order to win. They did. Wisconsins offense is hard to stop because in Hirsch and Harder it has two of the best backs in the Middle West this year, the Gopher scout pointed out. Coach Harry A. Stuhklreher has already donned his Saturday afternoon football face.

Harry becomes more and more nervous as a Saturday game approaches. Generally you notice the change about Thursday noon. Yesterday he was already on edge as he worried about the coming battle. Its tough on a coach to tighten so early. Most mentors are fairly relaxed until the morning of a game, but Stuhldreher makes it hard on himself by working himself into a nervous tension early in the week.

The life of a football coach is anything, but a bed of roses. Sunday morning we visited with the Green Bay Packers. Richard Red Smith was pacing up and down his room, answering last minute queries regarding tickets and countless other questions. Dr. W.

W. Kelly, Green Bay team physician was telling a story regarding the professor who (Continued on 2nd Sports Page) Two Shifts to Bolster Gophers First Team MINNEAPOLIS (A5) The usual Tuesday lineup was posted in the Minnesota football teams dressing room yesterday, and it found big Bill Baumgartner and Don Nolander back on the first team. Baumgartner, who has been fighting it out week after week for a starting end spot with Jerry Mulready, moved up despite a bad thumb. Nolander went back to center in place of Bob Solheim. Bill Daley again was in the lineup after missing Saturdays game as he rested his injured back.

His running was quite good and lie seemed a starter against Wisconsin. Satisfied they can devise a new offensive pattern within a week and make it click, the Gophers went to work on new plays for the Wisconsin game. A modified formation was used to whip Iowa last week and Coaches George Hauser and Lowell Dawson promise something new next Saturday. Today's drill stressed offense along with work on pass defense. Squad spirit is at its season high, with players set on a win in what may be their final collegiate appearance.
