(Special to The Daily.)
MADISON, Wis., Oct. 14.-Michigan
and Wisconsin took their final work-
outs at Camp Randall Stadium this
afternoon prior to the crucial encoun-
ter of tomorrow which will eliminate
one of the elevens from further
championship consideration. Coach
"Tad" Wieman brought his Wolver-
ines into Madison this noon on a
special train from Ann Arbor.
The invaders took the field early,
and behind closed gates the famous
Capt. Oosterbaan and his crew of
clampions galloped through the final
practice session of the week. There
appeared to be no invalids or cripples
present as the Ann Arbor party disem-
barked here today. The versatile Gil-
bert is ready to repeat his perform-
ance of last fall, when he proved as
great a star as either Oosterbaan or
Friedman.
Puckelwartz Available.
Taylor, regular end, who was not in
the starting lineup in the Michigan-
State contest a week ago, is in good
shape again. Puckelwartz, whose
services have been lost to Coach Wie-
man all season due to a broken bone
in his left hand is now back in the
field, and will likely play although he
is not slated to start. His passing
should be an added threat for he
throws the oval with greater accuracy
than any of the other Wolverine backs.
Glenn Thistlewaite took his squad
into the inner field for one last secret
rehearsal today after the visitors have
taken to the showers. The Badgers
have been pointed, for this Big Ten
opener, and it is safe to wager that a
Michigan victory will be a hard earned
one.
Badgers Stress Defense.
Long hours of forward pass defense
have strengthened the Cardinal in this
respect, but this works has not been
stressed to the neglect of the Wiscon-
sin offense. Some new plays will be
sprung on Michigan tomorrow, and it
is the hope of.Badger fans that the
Cardinals rejuvenated offense will be
effective. Wisconsin's hope lies up-
on the ability of the line to hold the
strong forwards coached by Wieman,
and upon Crofoot, Rose and Smith,
who will bear the brunt of the Thistle-
thwaite running game.
In Capt. Crofoot, Wisconsin boasts
of the -best quarterback in the confer-
ence. If the little Badger leader con-
ing, he will easily land a berth on the
tinues at the pace he has been travel-
Western Conference alt-star eleven.

Wolverine supremacy over Wiscon-
sin grid teams in the past is revealed
in the 35 year record of the rival in-
stitutions which credits Michigan with
10 victories and one tie in the 13 con-
tests played.
Files of the 1892 Wisconsin Daily
Cardinal carry the following brief ac-
count of the first contest played be-
tween the rival elevens:
"Our first season under the regime
of the Northwestern Intercollegiate
Athletic association was opened here
on Saturday by the football game be-
tween the elevens of the University of
Michigan and the University of Wis-
consin.
"The Michigan boys carried off the
honors of the day by a score of 10 to
6, but it was only after a hard fought
battle. Michigan's victory was due
principally to the fine playing of
Jewett, right halfback, and the sup-
port they rendered by their excellent
blocking and tackling.
"Wisconsin, however, had a fine
rush line averaging 190 pounds, and
near the end of the first half knocked
Harding, Michigan center, senseless,
forcing Heninger to replace him.
Michigan was about to score again
when time was called."
In the next year the. Badgers de-
feated the Wolverines by a 36-16
margin, after which no games were
played until 1899 when Wisconsin won
the last game they have ever won
from Michigan, 17-5.
Since that time the Yost coached
teams have won nine of the 10 con-
tests played, the 1921 encounter re-
sulting in a 7-7 tie.
Besides winning all of the games
played in the 1903-1905 and 1922-1926
intervals inclusive, the Wolverines
have allowed the Badgers only 16
points, holdingy'them scoreless since
1923.z
Today's contest marks. a new era
in the history of the Michigan-Wis-
consin relations inasmuch as the rival
coaches, Elton E. Wieman and Glenn
Thistlethwaite, are serving their first
years as head coaches at the respec-
tive institutions.

Coach Glen Thistlethwaite and. five
of the stars of his powerful Wisconsin
football machine that is expected to
furnish-the invading Wolverines the
hardest kind of competition in the
annual battle between the teams this
afternoon at Camp Randjll stadium.
The Badger's strongest threat lies
in their fast, versatile backfield which,

includes Capt. Edwin Crofoot and
Gene Rose, who form what is said to
be the best forward passing combina-
tion boasted by a Cardinal team in
recent years.
Thistlethwaite has seven veterans
back this year fighting for line posi-1
tions. This number includes Don
Cameron, and Mike Welch, regular

ends last year who are expected to
cause the opposing -teams considerablc
trouble again this year. The Wiscon-
sin line is one of the heaviest in the
Conference this year, averaging about
190 pounds.
Harold Rebholz is one of the mem-
bers of last season's freshman team
who is making a strong bid for full-
back position.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD INCLUDES SEVERAL
PROMISING MEN FOR EACH OF LINE POSITIONS

Although the 1927 freshman foot-
ball squad is noticeably lacking in
candidates for the line positions, As-
sistant Coach Keen, who has charge
of the linemen, reports that there are
several men who have shown real
promise in recent scrimmages with
the Reserves.
The majority of, the yearling line-
men are much lighter and smaller than
those of previous seasons, but the
squad includes a number of the heav-
ier type of linemen. Most of these
men will take on additional weight
within the next year, which should
make, them heavy enough to receive

serious consideration for the Varsity
aext fall.
Simms, an Oklahoma product, ap-
pears to be the most promising cen-
ter candidate on the squad at pres-
ent, although Cook has shown a great
improvement in recent practices.
Steinke and Duff have been turning
in good performances at guard during

the daily scrimmages with the Re-
Reserves.
D3ecker, former Flint central star,
Cook, and. Schilla look like the pick
of the tackle candidates, although
Richardson, who was formerly a
tullback, may develop into a capable
tackle or a guard. The squad is
lacking in capable ends, Lawson be-
ing the only candidate- who has been
performing consistently, although Den-
Blyker and Andre have shown flashes
of iromise in scrimmage.
