Ohio State profited by the Minnesota game and defeated the tired Wisconsin team after a
hard battle the following week, and then the season closed with Wisconsin defeating Chicago for
the first time since 1001 on Chicago's field
Twodefeats were chalked up against the Badgers, whowere entitled to rankingin third position
in the conference race.
Anyone who had predicted victories over Minneota and Chicago at the beginning of the
season would have been classified as a fit subject for the insane asylum. Yet that's what happened.
It happened for just one reason and that reason was John R. Richards, who was capably as-
sisted by Tom Jones and Guy Lowman, the new basketball coach.
John Richards knows football and he is especially versed in conference football. He knows
Wisconsin conditions. I fe is a Wisconsin alumnus and a loyal alumnus at that. But his chief
qualification for the job is his ability to make men like him and respect him. There isn't a man
on the squad who would not have given his life almost for "the coach.' It is this quality of leader-
ship that counts more than anything else.   Iinspires his men in the right way and any man
who receives coaching under him is entitled to respect as a truly Wisconsin man.
Richards has been re-engaged for another year-maybe more. It is now practically settled
that upon his shoulders will fall the task of ceveloping a Wisconsin system-one that will give
Wisconsin her old place on the football field-a feared rival for any team.
This he will succeed in doing.
