Five Regulars Named
On Conference Teams
Five Point cagers gained recognition on either the first or second
tea-ms in all-opponent selections
gleaned from the teachers college
papers.
First Team
Bishop, Thompson, and Gregory
-were picked for positions on the
first team along with Schwoegler
and Novak of La Crosse, Kuss of
River Falls, Wittig of Oshkosh,
Stori of Stout, and Humke of Milwaukee.
Second Team
Marsh and Krumm were chosen
for posts on the seco11d team along with Hohler of Milwaukee,
Oollins of Superior, Morrow of River FaUs, Anders10n of St?ut,
Stogbauer of Oshkosh, and Pmtz
of Platteville.
And a rising young man at La
CroLSse accl:lses us of writing a
combination of "pig-latin and
baby-talk". He takes exception to
what we say and ·how we say it.
He hints darkly at a family scandal.
Suh, there is only one answer.

The third of the state champs,
Russ Atwood, broke the tape first
in the low hurdles in the state
meet at Madison. Russ is an expert timber-topper, skimming the
high hurdles, too. In addition he
jumps for orders for N ormingtons. ( Oh, that's perfectly all
right, Russel).
Harold Reichert and Myron
Fritsch are the other returning
'' S'' men. Reichert specializes
in the 220 and 440 yard dashes,
and Fritsch heaves the weights.
Around this nucleus Coach Kotal
ought to be able to develop a
meet-winning team.
New Material Promising
Among the new material which
Kotal will have at his disposal are
Bob Tardiff and Barl Eckerson,
who set prep records in the high
jump and the pole vault. Ed
"Moon" Baker, star dashman of
hYo years back, who has kept out
of competition last year by a poor
ankle, is trying to g·et back into
shape, and will be a real star in
the 100 yard dash if and when.
Track workouts will be started
as soon as the weath.er permits.
A cinder track completely around
the football field will be ready
for use in the near future. No
one will be allowed to compete
wearing winter underwear.
Will an athlete be considered
to have broken training if he
drinks beer? Will a student be
prejudiced in the eyes of the
school authorities if he imbibes?
This iH a coming, and a vital,
question. We hope that the faculty will define both their sitlmtion and our own. It would make
things much clearer for the men
of the school.

"Sing, You Cinders" !
The recent snowfall postponed
the leYeling activities, ·which were
to have started early this week.
The cinders were purchased, but
the black cinder top dressing,
which makes the track especially
fine, is takm1 from onr own college furnaces.
When the program is completed
the local institution will have the
facilities for a complete track ancl
field carnival. At the north encl
of the field the jumping pits and
weight throwing space will 'be located, and the pole vaulters will
parade on the southern side of the
gridiron.

Hyer Gives Feed
A week ago Tuesday, President
Hyer ''set up'' a chicken dinner
as a gag to the fluency of those
whom l.!Ir. Spindler aptly calls
"the champion liars".
Then this Tuesday Mr. and Mrs.
Burroughs declared open ''housepitality ", and the boys just "et

:Wednesday evening Mr. Knutzen, who so manfully "toted" the
teams about the country on their
appearances at various h i g h
schools, entertained, on condition
that no one would burst out in
eloquent furor over the seriousness of the situation.
Smith Throws Spread
~ow rumor has it that Mr.
Smith, the chie.f economic adviser
to the group, will entertain Sunday night. The habit seems contagious.
The Rotary Club also crashed

WATSON RECALLS Spindler
College "Who's Who''
FOOTBALL AS IT
ONCE WAS PLAYED
(Continued from Page 3, col. 1)
· When asked about the game as
it was played in 1905, Mr. Watson
said: ''I began to play when the
forward pass was just coming
into use. The game was not as
spectacular as it is today, but no
modern team could gain through
the line we used to have. The
ball-carriers couid be assisted
under the old rules, and were
pulled and hauled along."
"Jackass" Club
Asked about Stagg's coaching
methods, Mr. ·watson said: "Mr.
Stagg had the most sarcastic
tongue I have ever heard. He
could make a man feel smaller
than anyone ever could.
He
never used profanity, though. His
strongest word was 'jackass';
and he only used that when some
one blundered in a game. The
fellows formed a 'jackass club';
and only those who had been called t·hat by Mr. Stagg could belong."
Mr. Watson played in the first
game played in Camp Randall at
the University of Wisconsin.
Ohicago won that game, 4 to 0,
~on a muddy field. Neither team
could gain through the. line, but
Eckersall, wiping off the ball and
his shoes, kicked a field goal to
win. At that time a field goal
scored four points.
Michig·an vs. Chicago
Reminiscing further, Mr. W atson described another game in
which Eckersall's deadly toe provided the margin of victory. Chicago won, 63 to 0, and "Eckie"
kicked five field goals for 20
points. The outstanding football
game ever played, according to
Mr. W atsin, was the Michigan. Chicago game of 1905, won by
Chicago, 2 to 0.
Michigan, coached by Fielding
Yost, had been undefeated for
two years. Led by Willie Heston,
whom Mr. Watson rates as the
greatest player he has even seen,
the Wolverines were supposed to
be unbeatable. Their defeat by
• Chicago was one of the big upsets
in gridiron history.
