Dr. Cooke Is coaching the Minne sota team and declares he has a much hotter point-winning bunch than he took to Madison fast spring. His talk about the contest when he was In Lincoln with the. Gopher basket ball team In January was sanguine In ita tone and Indicated he was Very well pleased - with the chances he thought his team would have against WIs conaln In the meeting. Nebraska has a weaker team than the one that represented the Cornhuskers last year and docs not expect to got better than third place. It has no cinch on taking that place, either, and may be pushed closely by Chicago In winning It. Little la known of the Maroons this season except that It has . been rumored they are stronger than last season or (lie yesr before and are fig uring on making a Rood showing in the games at Lincoln. The Cornhuskers, how ever, ' ara not worrying much about the team contest and will not be keenly disap pointed If they fall below Chicago In It.

He Is star performer on The horizontal and parallel bars and On the sldehorse. Dr. Clapp says the young gymnast has improved greatly since last season and predicts that he will win the most points In the all-round con test. O. r. Osthoff of Wisconsin and one of the reprasentatlves from Washington uni versity ara expected to be the chief con tenders with Mitchell for the Individual title. Each school will he allowed to have five lepreseutalives- In the games, and aii of j the universities, with tha exception of Washington, will send the full number of mm. Tha St. Louis school will have a team of thne men entered, this number having been settled upon by the Washing ton athletic authorities as b?lng a large enough representation for them to send to tha first tnti reolleglate gymnastic contest In which they have chosen to compete.

The final score was t to 7, a passed ball by the catcher of tho Nobrnhka School for the Deaf letting In the final score. This was Bellevue's first game this year 'and the playing was some what ragfred. The high wind also made snappy playing hard and the Nebraska School for the Deaf were ahle to run In five scores In the first two innings. A home run by Anderson of the Nebraska School for the Deaf was the only startling feature of the playing. Dow, catcher for Bellevue, had his finger badly broken In tha eighth Inning and this will put htm out of the game for probably-a couple of weeks. Stark, Bcll(vur' new rltcher, went In fur two Innings and showed up exceedingly well. Roach, who is also a new man, showed remarkable control and lots of steam Ohman. although not in old-time form, yet is doing fine work, and It is honed that by tlie time Bellevue meets the Omaha league , team, April 24, they will all be In good shape.

"To enable slow, medium and speedy drivers to equally enjoy the pleasure of congenial company on Saturday and Sun day runs the Chicago Automobile club has adopted a novel form of bringing its mem bers together. .

Wis., April 10.-(8pecial.)- Tha 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 ss being in favor of the two extra games climbing on the band wagon when they saw the way aentimont was going. Tha faculty' has been severely criticized for Its action, in 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 are by no means bright at tho present time. Anothor indication of the alleged hostile attitude of the faculty towards athletics came out at tha cloe of the last semster whenv'Red" Wilkinson, tha great Badger freshman halfback, was dropped for being deficient. Although he has been making good 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. Ha wae allowed to re turn to school only on condition that he would not go Into athletics next year. The base ball outlook st Wisconsin is not very encouraging at the present time. The men have not had a chance to do any outsldo work to speak of on account of the frigid weather. Tho Badgers are slated for game with the Illlnl April 17, but unless 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 tba plsce where the Badgers are going to be woertlly weak, according to tha present outlook. Tho Badger relay runners have stayed over during tho 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 tha belief is entertained here that they ara fast enough to secure a place. Mitchell and Richards look good for :62 or better on the outdoor track, while Morris, Natwick. Juergens and Schacht can all negotiate the distance In better than It is probable that five men will be taken on the trip. Tho students have started a subscription list to defray the expenses of the trip. Thla s the first time that any varsity track team has entered into competition with tha eastern cracks. Coach Ten Eyck of the varsity crews expects to have his men out on tho water Monday. The lake opened up Wednesday and the crews would have gone out last Friday were It not for the fact that tha piers have not been put. Into position. The start Is about a week later thla year and the coach Is worrying about tho freshmen crew. A professor will accompany the crew men to Poughkeepsie thla year to give the men their examinations after they get to the Hudson.
