Wisconsin displayed a reversal Of form in tri umphing over Minnesota 10 TO 7 last Saturday and the victory has instilled in the Badgers a new fighting spirit. The game probably will furnish an individual battle between Chick” Harley, All-American halfback of the Buckeyes, and Eber Simpson, the spec tacular quarterback Of the Wisconsin eleven.
