    BADGERS WIN AT MIMIC FOOTBALL Kings Grew Victorious in Farcical Bout With Wisconsin Alumni Team. Special to The Journal. Madison, Wis, Oct. 2S.-I In a burlesque on football the University of Wisconsin defeated the alumni this afternoon on Camp Randall field by score of II to 0. The play was farce from start to finish and it was only the ragged work of the varsity men that kept the score as low as it was. The play of the alumni was spectacular at times, but the ginger in the men lasted for the moment only when they lapsed back into their ragged and slovenly form Of playing. Wisconsin did not show up as well as was expected and many chances to score were thrown away by the varsity men on account of fumbles, and errors in Judgment. The strong line that has bee nthe boast of the Wisconsin men all thru the season was frequently caught mapping and the cold fellows plowed thru them for good gains. The lineup:
