Homecoming at Wisconsin 1917
OMECOMING at Wisconsin last fall oas featured by the Badger eleven's
10 to 7 victory over Minnesota's title-seeking football machine. More
than any other one thing, this win pleased the returned graduates greatly,
for they remembered the long and successful Gopher gridiron regime, and the
recent string of victories for the Northmen in games vith Wisconsin. Minnesota
took the field on Homecomingday heavy favorites, but wcrc beaten from the
initial whistle. Wisconsin had worked all season with just one game in mind,
the contest with Minnesota, and the team was ready when the day came.
After week on week of solving Minnesota shifts" in practice, the Badgers broke
up every attempt of the Gophers to gain, and, once in possession of the ball,
took the heart out of the enemy with the most daring forward-pass game ever
staged on a conference gridiron. Minnesota cried "Basketball!" as Simpson shot
pass after pass over the Gopher defense for gains, but the new game triumphed
over the old, and Wisconsin left the field a victor.
