Clay is a very speedy and clever back and was only displaced by Dal ton because of the letter's punting ability. SllnglufT, center, Is of All American caliber. He is remarkably fast, charges quickly and follows the ball well. Relfsnlder, right end; Lelghten, right tackle, and Wright, right guard, all are veterans.

Dean Is a better kicker than West Point had any time last season. In every game in which West Point took part In the fail of 1007 the catching of punts was enough to rack the soul of any coach.

CHICAGO-WISCONSIN GAME. Inside Information Shows For, Badgers' Hopes of Victory. Football critics In all sections of the country have been making predictions about the contest between the teams of the University of Wisconsin and the University of Chicago. Scores of western enthusiasts pick Wisconsin as the winner, though a majority of the best informed observers state that Stagg's Chicago Maroons are the best eleven in the west or middle west. The "views of the Wisconsin supporters are well expressed In the following statenfcnt made to the writer by one of the coaches of the Badger team.

He said: "To begin, Wisconsin has already won from Lawrence, Marquette college and Minnesota. The Maroons and Badgers will battle at Camp Randall, Madison, for the western championship on the 21st of November. Think what that means! It will be the first time that Wisconsin has uetually been In the race since 1902. Tree, during the years of 1003, 1904 and 1905 the Badgers were contenders for the honors, but the championship narrowed down to two other teams. Since 1905, when the reform wave struck us, we have been fighting along, never quitting, but never near the lead.

Now the reform movement has triumphed and Wisconsin can show the rest of the west tnat it is possible to nave a whirlwind team of purely amateur athletes. Whether we win or lose on the 21st of November, we will at least have the satisfaction of knowing we have been the 'runners "Regarding those who think that the Marquette game demonstrated that we have a poor team, I would like to state that the Wisconsin Badgers were away 'off color" then and that Marquette probably has one of the strongest lines In the west and a fast back field, that we were outweighed In the line, that she held Illinois 6 to and that Chicago only defeated Illinois by score of 11 to C. The Marquette team would make any university team In the west hustle to win. For further Information, Wisconsin has not as yet shown any of her Intricate forward passes. There have been fifty plays practiced at Camp Randall which have not been used In the games.

Some of them we will spring against Chicago. "The Minnesota team veterans of at least one season's experience In college football, two players who substituted last year and two men who played four years on a championship high school eleven. "With such a team and on past performances we can't see where Wisconsin will be far behind on the great day. Whisper this: Doc MacCarthy said that if we won -from Minnesota Chicago would be taken care of. Bank on Doc, for we won from Minnesota." MANY GAMES FOR YALE.
