Coach Harry Stuhldreher ' s Badgers ran into unexpectedly stiff opposition from Camp Grant ' s well-conditioned veteran eleven in the opening game of the season, a game which was played on Sept. 19, one week before the opening of the fall semester. Led by Acting Captain Paul Hirsbrunner, the Badgers initial thrust was halted on the Camp Grant 7-yard line after a 40-yard march which began after Mark Hoskins had intercepted Stan Stasica ' s pass. But Seelinger ' s pass was intercepted in the end zone to stop the drive. The Badgers threatened again in the second quarter and reached the 8-yard stripe before Stasica intercepted Quarterback Jack Winks pass. Hal Schumaker intercepted Halfback Elroy Hirsch ' s attempted pass on the 10 to end a third Badger drive. Wisconsin finally got its first break in the last seconds of the third quarter after Fullback Pat Harder ' s attempted kick from the 36-yard line fell short when Stasica fumbled and Bob Hanzlik, Badger end, recovered on the Camp Grant 12-yard stripe. On the first play of the fourth quarter. Fullback Bob Ray raced around his own right end to score and then converted the extra point. The Badgers muffed another big scoring opportunity in the middle of the last period when Ashley Anderson, quarterback, intercepted Stasica ' s pass on Wisconsin ' s 25-yard line and raced to the Camp Grant 6 where he had the ball knocked out of his hands and Center Fred Negus recovered but the Soldiers held.
