Pat O'Dea, who Is reported to have
revealed his Identity In Ban Fran
cisco after concealment for more
than two decades. Is enshrined In the
memory of University of Wisconsin
students and alumni aa a football
uperman.
O'Dea appeared at Wisconsin one
day In 1806 when hla brother, Andy,
was crew coach and football trainer
here. He came from Melbourne uni
versity, where he had been called the
greatest kicker In the Antipodes and
a member of the all-Auatrallan hon
orary team.
In hla first game for Wisconsin in
1806 he punted five times and aver
aged SO yards per kick. A broken arm
kept him out of competition for the
remainder of the season.
O'Dea electrified the crowds with
Y kicking during the next three sca-
i. In 1807, records here show, he
rsn back a Minnesota punt 20 yards
and then, as opposing players closed
In, drop-kicked 42 yards from within
five yards of the sideline for a field
goal. Against Chicago three weeks
later he counted a field goal on a
drop-kick of nearly 60 yards.

era expected to report have not done
so. By the end of the week the out
fit should be complete.
Further hardships were encounter-
ed with the new style ball. In spite
ofiwhlch the punting was beginning
to show Improvement. Coaches Bur
gher and Kir t ley believe that the new
ball la harder to anag at the receiving
end of a pasa, but will be easier to
throw. Ends HJnman and Pierce
seemed to be having no great diffi
culty in receiving .however. In the
paaslng practice, Brown and Dicker-
son both showed ball hawking in
stinct, and were knocking down ene
my tosses regularly. Bob Smith again
shone on the passing end.
The eyes of the coaches are hope
fully glued, upon any of the new
backfleld men who are apt to be
able to kick or block, with nothing
phenomenal putting in an appear
ance so far. Most of the team's
weaknesses are expected in that di
vision, with some trouble at the pivot
post.
