Badger Foot Ball
Six Veteran
Madison, Wis., Dec. 8. The loss
of lix regulars from the 1921 Wis
consin foot ball squad will require
Coach Richard to rebuild the line
and backficld for the 1922 season.
He will have a long list of rowerful
players to choose from in filling
gaps, unless inclcgibility again cuts
into the varsity material.
Capt. Guy Sundt, fullback, gradu
ates after four years of competition.
The liadgcrs have no man of equal
caliber as a- diffusive player and
punter. A. C. Elliott at riht half
back, who has played with Sundt for
three years, graduates with him,
leaving another important position
to till.
Stevens Gould, a halfback and end
of three years experience with the
varsity, completed his foot ball ca
reer, along with J. P. Woods, who
filled in at halfback on occasions.
The line loses George Burns, var
sity center through three seasons, in
which he never has lost a minute of
play. Time has been called out for
him but once during that period,
and no bad pass is recorded against
him. James trader at tackle
graduates after four years competi
tion as one of the best linesmen in
the western conference.
To meet these losses, Coach Rich
ards is expecting Holmes, a regular
of last year to be eligible for El
liott's place at right half. Williams
will be back again to till in the lett

llarr Is counted on for quarterback,
and, if eligible, his passing and pilot

valuable assets to the team. If he
plays, Gibson will be released to play
halfback, his regular position.
At the wing positions Coach Rich
ards will have Tebell back for the
third season, with Taft, Carlson,
llorne or Irish at the other end.
HohfeJd, regular guard this season,
probably will be switched to tackle
and Allard, freshman guard, a 2U0
pounder, put in his place. Christensen
will till the other guard position, with
Brumni, tackle this year, switched to
center, and either Barry or Seller
necker of the second-string, put in
his tackle position.
The freshman squad will furnish a
half-back in Harris, and an end in
Polaski who are likely to figure is
regulars before the 1922 season is
completed.

The one word, perhaps, that most fully ex

gifts. Practical because their usefulness ex
tends long past the holidays, carrying with
them the thoughtfulness of the giver,
Practical, too, because their presence benefits every mem
ber of the family. To those friends you wish especially to
remember, what more fitting gift than the percolator, an
electric toaster, a beautiful floor or table lamp? Any gift
that will lighten mother's housework would certainly be a
thoughtful gift may we suggest the Hoover Sweeper, a
Thor Ironer better still, we suggest a visit to the "Electric
Shop," where Xmas shopping, and gift selections have been
made more than pleasant. i riLiV
For the holidays we have arranged a
great carnival of actual electric
demonstrations. Three of the nation's
greatest home economists are here to
show you these practical gifts at work,
to explain their usefulness and to
assist YOU in every possible way with
your gift selections.

might fit in places on the varsity

had but one year of experience.
Fourteen or 15 men will be taken

qualified for varsity positions.
