THE SENTINEL f I WVisconsin had high hopes in the fourth when NVinkleman and Thudium were given free passage to the initial sack, but they were allowed to score only by the misdemeanors of the Illinois gardeners, who were pulling the Alphonse and Gaston stunt. The upper State lads were helpless after this inning and the one run scored in the sixth and the three in the seventh.clinched the game for the Illinois athletes. BASKETBALL Illinois defeated WVisconsin in an uphill battle in the inter-State basketball game, 23 to 14. The combat was featured by clever passing and long-range baskets. Throughout the first half the Badger State huskies proved too much for Illinois, compelling them to change forwards continually in an attempt to find a winning com- bination. This strategy resulted in some improvement in the Illinois style of play and by the third quarter the score was evened. FOOTBALL Illinois thundered down the field atop the stallion of victory, winning this year's inter-State football mixup by a 27 to 7 count. It early became apparent that the Illinois backfield had a punch. The ball-carrying of Reid, Esterdahl and Olson was highly effective, while the passing combination of the latter pair accounted for some tall gains. They might have scored early in the first period had not Chuck Roeder, giant Wisconsin tackle, leaped skyward to intercept one of these heaves and make some tidy yardage for his own aggregation. Timmer's splendid rushing of the oval kept Wisconsin in enemy territory, but eventually they lost their advantage after the Illinois eleven braced themselves and formed a drum-tight defense for four downs. The big three of the victor's backfield here began a march up the field that did not stop until Esterdahl had crossed the final chalk strip on a pass from Olson. No further scoring was done in that quarter, though Illinois constantly threatened. In the next frame Illinois again registered, Bill Reid carving through center for six yards to do it. The extra point was made on a sensational pass-play. Esterdahl heaved the pigskin to Hankinson, the left end, who made a diving catch on the goal line. Wisconsin's lone touchdown came on a weird play. In the second quarter Esterdahl attempted a forward pass from his own forty-five yard line and it was smashed. The ball, which had not touched earth, shot vertically upwards. Chuck Roeder, who had already showed an aptitude for intercepting passes and gathering in loose footballs, camped under it like Johnny Mostil snagging a high fly. As the smooth oval nestled in his arms, he started running and his team-mates came prettily to his assistance. Interferance appeared out of nowhere: before the Illinoisans knew what had occurred, their men were being spilled right and left, strewn in the wake of Roeder, who cavorted fifty-five yards to the land of milk and honey. Immediately after this, Schriber added the crimson's seventh and last point when he arched a beautiful place-kick over the bars. Illinois crashed through for markers in each of the last two periods and in addition to this they were blessed with two points on a safety. . VVisconsin was coached by Captain Applegran and 'fd' N Sergeant Butler, while the Illinois mentor was Lieu- f. X tenant Cummings. Score by quarters: H V- f f' Ill. 6HI3r-IQWZ7 Wis.

Hust led off with a single to center, but was out trying to pilfer second, Roche to Knoar. Klug followed with a blow to right center that was good for a base and swiped second. Graan cooled the cheeks of the in- fielders with three lusty strikes. john tapped one to Johnson, at short, and the ball rolled through, allowing Klug to register. Berghandler ended the inning by whiffing. The winners added three more markers in the second on a hit by Jacoby, a walk to Hust, some passed balls by Roche, a wild heave by Bruns and a fumble by Donihi, the first baseman, on a perfect throw from Johnson. ' H . Q Illinois forged through for a Usinker lntthe fourth. Singles by Jones, Prabor and Bradshaw accounted for this. Kleinke was in trouble again in the sixth, his one bad inning, when Anderetich, Bradshaw and Hettlnger shook bingles out of him. The losers obtained their fourth and last tally in the eighth on a double by Hettinger and a beautiful swat to left by Meyer that went for a single. Bruns.was coaxed for another score in the sixth and Wisconsin rang up three more in the following frame when the Illinois aggrega- tion went ballooning again. The vanquished got out of a bad in this chapter by pulling C Companyis famous loop-hole trick. This and a leaping catch by Potaker, who was inserted as Illinois first baseman in the eighth, were fielding gems of a game that was rife with errors..

INDOOR BASEBALL Illinois showed their athletic superiority over the youths from VVisconsin in the annual inter-State in- door baseball tilt, downing their opponents by a score of six to two. lVIclVIahon, the star twirler in all the company games, ran true to form in striking out nine of his foes at the critical moments. Illinois started proceedings early in the game when Lucas opened with a neat single to right. lVlclVIahon sacrificed, Lucas going to second, Dick was tossed out at first and Friedman lifted the pill to one of the keepers of the outer pasture, Lucas taking third. Kane beat out a bunt and Classy,' Callahan, second baseman deluxe, stepped into the hero role by kissing the hoss-hide on the seams for a double which enabled Lucas to ankle home with the first run of the game.

N- TENNIS HARRY T. Moons, Ja. X Tennis at the 1928 CMTC was an unqualified , ., success. Forty men signed in the singles tournament A G and twenty for doubles, bringing out an unexpected ' amount of real tennis ability. . Robinson of Headquarters Company, rather of a as F 2 - g , darlc horse, loped through to the singles championship. N44 fboxg N 9- , Robinson, a southpaw, plays a steady chopping game, which proved too much for the powerful Recldig, Company GH, whom he defeated in a hard fought finals match, 6-4, 6-3. In the doubles, Hodgson of Headquarters and Robinson took the championship games from Ayres, Company Du, and Reddig, 6-I, 7-5. As Ayres, like his partner, is primarily a driver, while Hodgson formed a complement to Robinson's chopping style, the runners-up found the going tough, but settling down in the second set they forced the champions to the limit and provided the most interesting contest of the tournament. Lieutenant Perwein, assistant athletic officer, and IValdemar Ayres, tennis captain of Company DU, supervised the meet in a very admirable manner, overcoming many obstacles in arranging time and courts. BOXING In the camp boxing tournament, climaxing in the finals before a capacity crowd in the Post Gymnasium, Company A made the strongest showing with two champions and two runners-up, while GH came next with two champs. A few wrestling matches were interpolated in the program, Jicka of Company Cv, Iiverson of Headquarters and Brown of Company DH becoming champions in the heavy- weight, Welterweight and lightweight classes respectively. A full lift of winner: may be found under .4wardf,,. FENCING Fencing, attracted some unusual talent in the 1928 camp. The final competitions brought to the fore two fine exponents of each of the modern schools of fencing, the French and Italian styles. From these matches A. W. Burg, Company DH, emerged victor, with 'lessen of the Troop runner-up and Waring, Company AU, third. lloxmo TENNIS Wm-:s'ruNG Page Om' llundrezl Thirteen .. .......... .....- ....... .v.v.v.v.v.v.v...v.v..v.v.v.v.v.u
